C114 Author's Provocation!
Lydia did not notice Reece's presence and drove away after chasing the Author out of the car.
When her car disappeared into the corner, Author's black eyes landed on the luxurious car in the darkness. The temperature on his face turned cold.
He raised his leg and knocked on the car window.
He sneered, "Is Mr. Tillman too full of himself?"
"She is not someone you should covet." Reece turned his head to look at him coldly and spat out a few words.
Hearing this, Author snorted in disdain, "I, Author, prefer to face the challenge head on! Not only do I covet her, I want to turn her into my woman!"
Hearing that, Loran, who was in the car, gasped, "!!!"
Damn it...
Young man, are you trying to provoke me? Do you not want your life?
He swallowed nervously and glanced at his brother. He was shocked by Reece's dark face, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
It's over, it's over...
"Are you sure you want to fight with me?" Reece looked at Author coldly.
Although it was a question, it contained a different kind of pressure.
The consequences of confronting a man like him were self-explanatory!
Faced with the destructive anger in the man's eyes, Author straightened his back without changing his expression. "I'm sure!"
"... Courageous. Let's wait and see the result." Reece smiled, but the coldness in his eyes was incomparably terrifying. "Theo, drive!"
"Yes."
Master Li nodded and quickly started the car.
As the car drove forward, the temperature in the car seemed to have dropped from the hot summer to the cold winter. Even the windows were covered with a layer of frost.
Although the outcome of their confrontation was not pleasant, the man didn't show it on his face when he returned to the Tillyman family.
"Lydia," Old Mr. Tillman said as he took a sip of the porridge. "You dropped your phone at home today. Your second uncle called to tell you that he wants you and Reece to come home for dinner the day after tomorrow."
Hearing what Old Mr. Tillman said, she realized that she had forgotten to bring her phone with her today in order to avoid the presence of Reece.
She pursed her red lips in embarrassment and smiled. "Understood, Grandfather."
However, she was very curious in her heart. Why did her second uncle suddenly have such good intentions to see her home for dinner?
Lydia had always had a bad impression of her second uncle's family. Naturally, she didn't want to attend the banquet either.
After dinner, she rejected her second uncle's invitation with the excuse that Reece was busy recently.
"Then what about the day after tomorrow?" Blain asked, not willing to give up. "Or the day after tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, Second Uncle. I really can't do it these few days …"
"Sister, when are you and Brother-in-law free? I can wait. I want to see you guys."
As soon as she finished her words, Viola cut her off with an urgent and sincere tone.
Even though they were separated by a screen, she could still feel the way she was lowering her head. There was even a hint of pleading in her tone.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a lowly person.
In the past, when she insisted on marrying Reece, she was also doted on by the Ellis family. Although Viola also fawned on her, she pretended to be weak and never begged her like this.
What was going on today?
Lydia narrowed her eyes and suddenly remembered that she had bumped into Viola in a cafe a few days ago.
Ever since she was once again expelled from the family, Viola's life had not been easy.
So, Viola was trying to change her situation by currying favor with him?
Heh!
Lydia's face darkened as she sneered in her heart.
In her previous life, she had seen how vicious this woman was to her.
Naturally, she did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for Viola's miserable state.
She snapped out of her daze and smiled. "Do we need to see each other again?" She did not want to see her.
"Sister... I, I know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance?" As she spoke, her tears fell down.
Lydia's face was filled with tears, and it made her feel disgusted.
As expected, she was here again!
She was acting like a pitiful girl again.
Her face darkened as she hung up the phone. "I'm sorry, but I have something else to do. Bye."
Lydia hung up the phone and smirked.
"..."
She relaxed her eyebrows and turned off the phone, not giving Viola any chance to speak.
"..."
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and a wave of hot air gushed out. Reece, who had just finished showering, walked out elegantly. "You can take a shower now."
"Oh, okay." Lydia nodded and reached out to pick up her pajamas before turning around and walking towards the bathroom.
However, the moment she turned around, the man in front of her widened his eyes in shock. He froze in place.
As she had just finished showering, the water droplets fell onto his smooth chest, then through his sexy six-pack, and finally onto the carpet.
Pata, Pata!
The crisp sound of her voice hit Lydia's heart. Her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
At this moment, the man suddenly moved.
He leaned closer to her, causing her to take a step back. "What are you doing?"
"Get me my pajamas." Reece smirked and bent down to pick up the pajamas by the window.
Seeing that he was about to change into his pajamas, Lydia bit her lower lip in embarrassment.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She quickly entered the bathroom and turned on the shower to wash away the emotions that she shouldn't have.
At this moment, in the bedroom.
Reece pinched his pajamas and tilted his head to look at the washroom. His thin lips curled up in a smile.
After washing up, Lydia purposely dawdled in the washroom for a long time. When she could no longer hear any movement in the bedroom, she quickly went back to her bed and laid down.
...
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
"Beep!"
In the morning, the piercing sound of a car horn pierced through the window and fell into Lydia's ears.
She frowned and turned around in annoyance.
"Lydia?!"
Suddenly, the voice of the author rang out.
In a flash, Lydia's eyes opened wide and she climbed out of the bed in shock. She looked downstairs through the glass window.
"It's time for class. Hurry up and get down."
Seeing her, the author urged her.
Wasn't the advertisement already done? Why was Author still looking for her to go to school?
Although she was puzzled, in order not to wake Old Mr. Tillman up, she quickly replied, "Immediately."
After that, she quickly washed up and grabbed her schoolbag before quickly running downstairs.
Pata.
The moment the door closed, Reece casually opened his eyes.
He heard the sound of footsteps getting further and further away. He stood up and walked to the window.
At this time, Lydia, who was sitting in the car, entered the car of Author. Author smiled and handed her a breakfast. Then, he turned his head to the man on the second floor and smiled provocatively before driving away.
Reece narrowed his eyes and a cold intent instantly overflowed from them.
He walked back to the bed unhurriedly and reached out to dial Loran's number. "Recently, the Lori family has been bidding for the Beihai International Engineering project, right?"
"Yeah, the Lori family has been preparing for the Beihai project for three months. It seems like they are determined to win it." Loran did not understand what Reece was trying to do, so he answered honestly.
The man looked up coldly at the place where the car had disappeared and added, "I'll give you one and a half hours to prepare a proposal for the department. Then, follow me to the auction of the Beihai International Project today."
Loran was speechless.
What was going on?
