Chapter 226: Self-defeating
Chapter 226: Self-defeating
Lily suppresses her discomfort and tries to put a smile on her face, "Miss Stacy, are you done talking
yet?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then it's my turn to speak." Since the opponent despises her, Lily doesn't want to make her look
good too. "The biggest difference between you and me is probably in our family background."
"Yes, your parents are outstanding. You can have your bread buttered for life since you were born. You
can have anything you want. But in terms of individual ability, I don't think that anyone in the job market
would want to employ Miss Stacy."
"You…" Stacy Adams is pissed off but she still pretends to be weak.
Lily sneers, "I'm giving Miss Stacy advice again. Pretending to be helpless doesn't work in all
circumstances. Pretending in front of me is of no use at all. How about you showing it to the person you
like. See whether it works on him or not."
"Miss Stacy, if you're bored, why not going to the library and find some books to read. Any kind of
psychology or behavior analysis books may be helpful for you to pursue some guys."
"Lily, you're such a dismissive person!" After being criticized, Stacy stops pretending anymore and
stares at Lily furiously. "Do you even know who my father is?"
"Wait for me awhile."
Lily takes out her phone and searches for those who are close to the Lou family. She is looking for
someone surnamed Adams. "Oh, so Mr. John Adams is your father. Quite impressive."
Stacy thinks that Lily is afraid and sneers, "Yeah, my family is powerful. Having you exiled from Country
Z is just a matter of time."
"Explain yourself to the media about your relationship with Daniel following this draft. If your attitude is
good, I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'll make your company unable to get any contract, and let your brother
be expelled from school. It would be difficult for your brother to find any job in the future if he had a
stain in his studies!"
Stacy throws a document onto the table with an arrogant attitude.
Lily picks up the document, and after a flick through, she laughs out, "I'm shameless. I even try to get
on to Mr. Daniel's bed? Miss Stacy, you're brilliant! Making up such a great story!"
"You don't need to care about the content. Just read it out loud." Stacy is displeased with Lily's attitude.
This woman doesn't give a shit about anything Stacy has said.
Lily smiles slightly, "Let me make a call, and then I will decide how to deal with you."
Lily can't stand it anymore.
Coffey answers when Lily dials him. Lily asks, "Coffey, would you be afraid if someone colluded with
your school's teachers and accused you?"
Coffey laughs disdainfully, "Those teachers are even begging for my help. How would they dare to
expel me?"
"Are you that powerful?"
"It's the same reason as prestigious schools enrolling top scorers from each province." Coffey says,
"Besides, I will be recruiting into MS soon in the future. Even local top brass will have to respect me."
Lily understands the first half of the sentence, but she is confused in the second half. "What is MS?"
"I can't tell you about that." Coffey breaks the topic and asks, "Sister, what happened to you?"
"It's just a small matter, but I can handle it. Okay, I'll hang up now." Lily hangs up the phone feeling
relaxed.
This time she has no qualms about offending Stacy anyone.
Stacy has already run out of patience, "You're so rude, talking to me and still calling."
"You were rude to me first. And why should I be polite too." Lily shreds the document, "I can't read this
disgusting draft."
"Lily, you're picking on me, aren't you!" Lily's action has made Stacy turned gloomy, "It seems that you
don't care about your family and your brother."
Lily pats her forehead, "Ah, I should have just put the speakerphone on so you could hear it too."
Lily leaps to her feet while bracing her hand on the table. She approaches Stacy, "Miss Stacy, if you
like Daniel Lou, go and find a way to pursue him. Don't take it out on me."
"Nowadays, money makes the mare go. If you dare to touch my family, I'll let you suffer the
consequences."
Lily's temper is appalling. Her threatening look has scared Stacy until she collapses into her chair, not
daring to move.
Lily takes out some money and leaves it on the table, "I'm spending you on this cup of coffee, Miss
Stacy."
Lily takes her bag and leaves.
Stacy has already gone bananas! When she sees Lily leaving, she takes out a brown bottle from her
bag and rushes towards Lily while shouting, "Lily!"
Lily smells the pungent odor of acid when she turns around. She swiftly smashes her bag at Stacy
when she sees Stacy throwing the bottle at her.
Stacy is caught off guard by the smash and falls down. The liquid from the bottle spills over her arms
and cheeks.
"Ah! Ouch! Ouch!" The burning sensation on Stacy's face and hands makes her scream. She rolls over
on the ground with her hands wanting to touch her face but could not.
Stacy screams in pain, "My face! My face!"
Lily is shocked, not realizing that this woman was carrying acid! Her face would have been ruined if she
hadn't reacted quickly just now.
Stacy's scream has gained attention from the customers in the cafe as Lily dials 120.
"Lily, why are you doing this to me?" Stacy cries and pretends to look distressed when she saw so
many people around her. "You stole my boyfriend. I begged you to leave him, but you threatened me?"
"Oooh, my face hurts. How could you be so cruel?"
"I'm begging you. Leave Daniel. You don't even really like him."
"Stop fooling Daniel."
Stacy says mournfully. Her hands and face being ruined, making it startling when people look at her.
Her feebleness really did touch those spectators.
The crowd begins pointing fingers at Lily, glazing at Lily with a mean look. "This home-wrecker is so
arrogant! Stealing other's boyfriend and splashing acid at her. How vicious!"
Lily looks around and has to say that Stacy is really brilliant. She has chosen a dead spot for the
camera. She has expected that the conversation will not go well and planned to take action on her.
"Miss Stacy, I have underestimated you." Lily sneers, "It's a pity that you are not being an actress."
Stacy is still crying, "I'm begging you. Please give Daniel back to me. As long as you give him back to
me, I won't bother you about today's matter."
Just then, the cafe door is opened, and Daniel Lou walks in. He pushes away the crowd and sees
Stacy on the ground. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Daniel helps Stacy to get up. "What's going on?"
"Daniel." Stacy is frustrated and cries even louder when she sees him. "I asked Miss Lily out for a talk,
but she threw acid at me. My face hurts!"
The surrounding people all bear witness for Stacy.
Lily purses her lips, "Mr. Daniel, do you believe me when I say that she tried to throw acid on me?"
"Daniel, my body hurts." Stacy cries weakly to gain Daniel's attention. "Will my face be ruined?"
"I'm taking you to the hospital," Daniel says.
He isn't stupid. He knows how foolish Stacy is. She must have attacked Lily but was countered
back.
