Chapter 468: I'm Not His Student!
Leigh says impatiently, "She and Daniel are not married yet. If something happens to her, you shall go
to the Scotts for help. It's no use looking for me. I too have a lot of troubles to solve!"
" ... Something happened to Mr. Daniel too."
Leigh immediately turns to look at David. Putting on a long face, he asks, "What do you mean?"
David whispers in his ear.
Leigh's face darkens after he hears his words, and he can't help frowning.
He shoots a fierce glance at Lily and then uses great strength to push her away. "Lily, I'll deal with you
after solving this matter!"
His unexpected move startles Lily, who immediately loses her balance and bangs into a desk.
Hitting her belly on the sharp corner of the desk, she gasps in pain.
David hurries over to help her up. "Ms. Lily, are you alright?"
Lily's belly is still against the corner of the desk.
Noticing that her lower abdomen is noticeably swollen, David widens his eyes in surprise.
A few seconds later, he seems to think of something and looks at Lily in shock. "Ms. Lily, you..."
"I'm fine." Lily shakes his hand off and manages to stand up.
It takes a long while for the sharp pain to disappear.
"Tell me more about this. Why did Mr. Daniel and Stella both have an accident?" Lily changes the topic.
"Well ... I'll tell you about this after we get into the car." David doesn't ask about her swollen belly
anymore. Instead, he says with a serious expression, "You need to come with me to the Long Peace
Group now."
"OK." Upon realizing that this matter is serious, Lily does not dare to delay.
She gives the assistant who has been kicked by Leigh a few days off. After arranging today's work for
her subordinates, she leaves with David.
On the way to the Long Peace Group, David tells Lily everything.
It turns out that Daniel's father is not injured. It is a lie fabricated by Mrs. Lou to deceive Daniel into
going to Country XL. She asks her husband to help lock Daniel up as soon as the latter arrives in
Country XL.
When Daniel goes to Country XL, he doesn't bring many of his subordinates. There are all his father's
people over there, so he can't fight back. Later, Mrs. Lou sends Francis' daughter to Daniel to drug him.
Ten days ago, Francis' daughter found out that she was pregnant.
Mrs. Lou knows about this, so does Stella, who is also in Country XL.
Mrs. Lou cherishes her unborn grandson a lot. Afraid that Stella will make a move against Sophia's
child, she finds someone to fake a car accident to kill Stella.
Although Stella doesn't die on the spot, she is at her last gasp. The doctors are trying their best to save
her life.
The whole matter is so complicated and unimaginable that Lily feels she is listening to a made-up story.
How can all this be true?
After a while, Lily says, "How can Mrs. Lou be so immoral? Daniel is her biological son!"
David, who is driving, replies with a sigh, "Ms. Lily, you also know that Stella is Mr. Scott's illegitimate
daughter. Mrs. Lou hates her a lot and after knowing that she gets back with Mr. Daniel, she couldn't sit
back."
"Even if that's the case, she shouldn't use such despicable methods!" Wearing a gloomy face, Lily grits
her teeth and says, "How could she send another girl to Mr. Daniel and even make her pregnant..."
She is sure that Stella must be on the verge of a breakdown after knowing that Sophia is pregnant.
Stella has been separated from Mr. Daniel for nearly five years, and she has sacrificed a lot to finally
get back with him.
Before they can enjoy their life after the reunion, another woman has Daniel's child. How can Stella
accept this?
If Chandler knows about this as well....
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lily immediately asks David, "Is Louis in Country XL now? Has
he called Chandler to tell him about this?"
"Mr. Smith won't mention it," David says.
"Chandler is still young, so Mr. Smith will not drag him into this mess. He is trying to find a way to save
Mr. Daniel."
"That's good." Lily breathes a sigh of relief. "Then I'll get my visa as soon as possible..."
"Ms. Lily, there's no need to do this. You may not be able to go abroad."
Lily is bewildered. "What do you mean? Is Leigh trying to stop me? Or..."
"You also know that Stella has full control of the Long Peace Group. The news of her having a car
accident in Country XL has been known by all the higher-ups. Everyone was panicking now."
David continues, "Mr. Scott wants to use his identity as Stella's biological father to obtain her equity and
regain control of the Long Peace Group. He is going to discuss this matter at the meeting of the board
of directors today."
Lily says with a look of contempt, "Her daughter is not dead yet. It's so despicable of him to think of
taking her equity! If Stella hadn't got hold of the Long Peace Group, she would be under the thumb of
her father for a lifetime!"
"Ms. Lily, don't worry. When Stella was abroad, she arranged everything in place. If anything bad
happens to her, she will give you all the shares of the Long Peace Group."
"What?" Lily is shocked. "Why did she give them to me? I am an outsider..."
After thinking for a moment, David says, "Probably it's because she trusts you very much."
"After opening the documents to see the content, I was also shocked. Later on, I thought that apart
from Mr. Smith, you are the only capable one she can trust to manage the Long Peace Group."
"Why didn't she hand the Long Peace Group over to Mr. Smith?"
"Perhaps it's because Mr. Smith is too busy and she doesn't want to trouble him. It's also possible
that..." David gives his assumption, "Ms. Lily, you are the best candidate in Stella's view, so she trusts
you to take control of the Long Peace Group."
Lily has never been so trusted by a friend, so she is kind of lost for words. "But my ability is not as good
as hers."
David looks at her through the rearview mirror and says with a smile, "Ms. Lily, you are Mr. Smith's
student, and you are also the vice president of a company. So you must be the best candidate."
"Bullshit! I'm not his student!" Lily's face freezes as she says coldly, "Focus on driving and don't
mention him!"
David is rendered speechless.
Ms. Lily's temper is almost the same as Mr. Smith's now.
When David and Lily arrive at the Long Peace Group's conference room, the meeting is halfway
through.
Everyone turns to look at them.
Mr. Scott recognizes David first. Putting on a cold face, he says unhappily, "David, this is the Long
Peace Group and the Scotts are having a meeting now. Why did you barge in like this?"
"I'm so sorry." David smiles as he brings Lily in. "This time, I was entrusted by Ms. Stella to handle
some matters for her." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
One of the directors says, "Just drop the act. We all know that Ms. Stella had an accident abroad."
"She's still in the hospital now. How can she entrust you to deal with the company's affairs?"
"You are truly well-informed." David nods. He takes out a document and places it on the table.
"However, Ms. Stella entrusted this matter to me before she left the country."
Mr. Scott, who is sitting in the main seat, takes the document over.
After taking a few glances at its content, Mr. Scott shouts at David, "How dare she? I'm Stella's father,
and if something happens to her, I should have all the shares. How can she hand them over to an
outsider?"
David replies politely, "Sorry, I don't know. However, Ms. Stella has signed the share transfer papers, so
they have legal efficiency."
He adds, "Mr. Scott, if you don't believe me, I can call Lawyer Roger over. Ms. Stella also told him
about the equity."
The directors pass on the share transfer papers one after another.
After finishing reading the papers, the directors react the same way as Mr. Scott. They can by no
means accept Stella's decision.
"Since Ms. Stella had an accident, the shares should be handed over to her biological father."
"That's right. How can an outsider manage the Long Peace Group? We don't agree!"
This unexpected news indeed causes quite a stir among them.
