Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 125

Hearing Martha's words, Lilly's face turned pale. She looked at Florence and cried, "It's not like that, mom. I can explain!"

Florence looked stern. "Okay, tell me what you have said just now."

Lilly couldn't say a word with her mouth opened.

How could Florence not know her daughter? France was her mother and she was raised by her.

Just now, when Martha said to her on the phone. "Mrs. Pearson said that you should come back and teach your daughter something." Florence knew that Lilly must have crossed the line.

Otherwise, why would Frances say that?

Lilly couldn't say anything but cry, because Martha was telling the truth.

Florence looked at her crying for a while, "Are you done crying?"

She was really mad this time.

The cold look on her face frightened Lilly.

"Apologize if you're done."

Lilly dared not say anything more. She apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Bradley.

I'm sorry, Grandma."

She apologized with sobs.

Seeing that it was almost over, Starry checked the time. "It's getting late, Mrs. Pearson. I have to go home now. I will come back again tomorrow."

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, Frances couldn't keep her here anymore.

She nodded and said, "Martha, go see Miss Bradley off."

Starry said with a smile, "Don't bother, Martha."

Since she had said so, Martha had to sit back.

Florence spoke, "Let me see you off, Miss Bradley."

Starry took a look at Florence. They weren't close, but they weren't enemies either. However, being raised up by Frances, Florence was indeed an honest and just person.

Since she had said so, it was obvious that she had something to say to her.

Starry didn't refuse. "Thank you then."

Florence smiled. "You're welcome."

Then, she walked Starry out.

Starry's car was parked outside the mansion, Florence walked her to the gate before she spoke, "Miss Bradley, I heard that you came today to massage for my mother. She's old now and she hasn't been sleeping well. The masseur who had been doing her massages went abroad last year. Only you know his skills. Thank you for coming.

Starry smiled, "It's nothing. Mrs. Pearson has always been nice to me."

Hearing this, Florence signed. "I have no problem with you and I really think you and Filip were a perfect match. But unfortunately, he didn't cherish you."

Starry lowered her eyes. "It's all in the past now. I have also made mistakes."

Florence looked at her and said, "Both my mother and I know that you are a nice person. Lilly has been spoiled and she went to a university abroad. She's not a bad person, but she can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

I'm sorry about her disrespect for you just now, I apologize to you, Miss Bradley."

As Florence said, she took a step back and bowed to Starry.

Starry pursed her lips before she said. "Miss Pearson, Lilly has apologized to me, you don't have to do this."

"I failed as a mother. I should apologize."

Florence looked at starry and smiled. "It's getting late, you should go home now, Miss Bradley. Travel safe."

"I'm leaving, Miss Pearson."

Starry had nothing she wanted to say about Lilly.

The Pearson family had made their attitude clear and Frances had held justice for her. Although she didn't like Lilly's words, she wasn't really angry.

Starry nodded her head and got in her car.

However, as soon as she got in the car, she saw a black Maybach driving slowly over.

It was Filip.

Starry turned on the AC in the car and drove away.

Seeing Filip home, Florence was a bit surprised.

But when she saw the direction in which Starry drove away, she smiled, turned around and walked into the house.

Lilly had stopped crying. Florence glanced at her and said, "Go reflect on yourself in your room. You are not having dinner tonight. And you are not allowed to walk out of your room before 10 in the evening. Otherwise, you can stop dreaming about being an actress!"

As soon as she finished her words, Filip walked into the house.

Seeing Lilly crying, he frowned. "What's wrong?"

Florence looked at him. "She said something disrespectful to Miss Bradley."

Filip's face darkened. Lilly had been expecting him to back her up, but when she saw the look on his face, she dared not say a word, lowered her head and went back to her room.

It was not until Lilly left that Florence looked at Filip. "You are quite free today."

"Yes."

Filip answered, ss if he didn't understand. the hint in Florence's words at all, "Where's Grandma?"

"She should be back in her room for rest," Florence answered.

As they were talking, Martha came downstairs.

Seeing Fillip home, she was a bit surprised. "Mr. Philip, you are back."

"Yes."

Fillips said. "How's Grandma?"

"Mrs. Pearson said she wanted to take a nap. She has just played chess with Miss Bradley and she felt sleepy."

Hearing her words, Filip was stunned.

Before they divorced, Starry would always play chess with Frances. Every time Martha called and asked him if he was coming home for dinner, she would always bring it up.

Later, they got divorced and Frances hadn't played chess with anyone for a long while, and he hadn't heard that as well.

Florence was eating the desserts. "The desserts Miss Bradley made are indeed very delicious."

As she said, she glanced at Filip. "Do you want one?"

Filip didn't refuse and picked one up.

The dessert was not very sweet and it was yummy.

Back then, Starry would always make desserts for them, although he had never had any.

Martha added. "Mrs. Pearson loves Miss Bradley's desserts. They are just as sweet as Mrs. Pearson want them."

Fillips swallowed the last one and said, "I'll be in the study."

Florence looked at his receding figure and said, "Now he's missing her?"

Martha couldn't help smiling when she heard this. "Perhaps Mr. Filip is just slower when it comes to love."

"He can be slow in other things, but not love. Love won't wait for him."

Florence ate another cupcake. She felt it such a loss that Filip lost Starry.

Martha shook her head with a sigh. She agreed with Florence's words.

Filip pursed his lips and quickened his steps.
