Chapter 258 Apologize
At the Martins residence, Lily didn’t sleep a wink after her beloved aunt refused to stay at the luxurious His Grace Hotel. She felt betrayed and used.
Her aunt was aware that she had fallen in love with the handsome Xavier Taylor, but she failed to create chances for her to meet him in private.
It was clear to her that her aunt was using her all this time. She lost her parents because of her aunt.
She was aware that the Ebenezer Hotel belonged to the Martins family, but she encouraged her to demand her parents buy her a Private Jet.
Also, her aunt forced her to embarrass Avery at her parents’ funeral service. As a result, the Prince family and the Shelton family turned their backs on her. She regretted not choosing the Shelton family as her guardians.
When Uncle August gave her the Penthouse, her aunt asked her to return it to Uncle August. It was clear that her aunt was trying to protect the Martins family’s assets.
It dawned on her that her aunt was pretending to hate Avery, but deep in her heart was protecting her from marrying poor Jordan. Hence, she broke them up. As a result, Avery managed to marry the wealthiest family in the country.
Her heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. She decided to avenge herself. After that, she took a long bath plotting her revenge.
After she dressed up, she headed to the dining room to have breakfast. When she arrived in the dining room, Aiden was already there drinking coffee. She smiled brightly and greeted him. Aiden sipped his tea, then he nodded his head.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
At that moment, Mrs Martins walked into the dining room. She greeted her beloved niece and said, “Sweetheart, did you sleep well.” Lily flashed her a beautiful smile and replied, “I slept like a log, Auntie. And you?”
Aunt Elizabeth smiled brightly and said, “I slept well, my dearest. Why don’t we go shopping today?” Lily smiled brightly and replied, “That will be great, Auntie.”
Then they started eating. Lily smiled and said, “Aunt Elizabeth, why don’t you divorce Uncle August? It is clear to me that he doesn’t love you, and he has never protected you from Avery. I don’t think Uncle August deserves you.”
Aiden nearly fainted with anger and sneered, “Lily, stop sowing discord between my parents. You killed your parents with your own hands. Now, you want to destroy my family. Over my dead body.”
Tears streamed down Lily’s beautiful face. Aiden’s words hurt her deeply. She was aware that everyone was blaming her for her parents’ death.
When Aunt Elizabeth saw her beloved niece crying, she was so upset. She walked to Aiden and slapped him hard across the face and asked, “Aiden, how old are you? Why are you still living at home at your age?
I don’t see anything wrong with what Lily is saying. There is no love relationship between me and your father. Do you think I don’t deserve to be happy?”
Aiden rubbed his burning face and replied, “Mom, sometimes I wonder who your biological child is between us and Lily. You always take Lily’s side, even if she is wrong. Mom, your beloved niece has ill intentions towards you and Daddy.
One day you will regret choosing your beloved niece over your biological children. Daddy used to love you very much, but you failed to love him back. Didn’t you say you didn’t like children? How come you love Lily but not us?”
The atmosphere became tense. Lily wiped her tears and said, “Stop spouting nonsense, Aiden. You are just a mama’s boy. You have never used your brain in your entire life. You are such a weakling.
You are the heir of the Martins family, but you work in the finance department. There is something wrong with your head. Are you not supposed to be the Martins Group Deputy CEO?
Why are you not heading your own company as Xavier Taylor? You are inferior to him in every aspect.
To tell you the truth, you are also inferior to Jordan Bennet. Even though he came from a humble background, he was ambitious. You are only waiting for the inheritance.”
Aiden was fuming with anger when Lily told him that he was inferior to Jordan Bennet. He swiftly walked across the dining table and slapped Lily twice across her face with all his strength. Lily fell on the floor with her chair.
He looked at her coldly and said, “The first slap was for killing my uncle and my aunt. The second slap was for thinking you were a member of the Martins family. This is not the Parker family.”
Lily’s face swelled immediately. She opened her mouth and cried out loud. Mrs Martins rushed to Lily who was crying sorrowfully on the floor and helped her to the chair. Then she approached her son step by step.
Aiden looked at his mother coldly and said, “I dare you.” His mother was dumbfounded when she heard her son’s words. She looked at her son coldly and asked, “Why are you beating up your cousin, Aiden? Apologize.”
Didn’t he just explain to Lily why he beat her up? Aiden smiled faintly, but the smile didn’t reach his handsome face, and replied, “I will never apologize for speaking the truth.
Mom, you are also responsible for the death of my uncle and my aunt. Why did you buy them the Wedding Anniversary package? Aunt Cathy indicated that she wanted to spend her Wedding Anniversary with her family and friends.
Since when are you forgetful? My father wanted to establish a company for me, but you asked me to turn him down for your own selfish reasons.
You knew that I wanted to work beside Daddy to learn from him, but you asked me to work in the Finance department to monitor the company funds.
Today your beloved niece is mocking me about the decision which you forced on my throat. Am I easy to bully?
I wanted to have my own company and put my degree into use, but you denied me that opportunity. Mom, I have supported you all these years, but what did I get in return?
I even lost my biological sister because of you. In the end, you chose Lily over me. You failed to reprimand Lily for spouting nonsense, but you slapped me without any valid reason. I hate you.
Why did you give birth to us because it is clear to me that you don’t love us?” Then he left the dining room with a heavy heart.
Mrs Martins couldn’t refute her son’s words because she was the one who forced her son to work in the Finance department. She was scared that her husband would give all their inheritance to his beloved daughter.
Lily wiped her tears and asked, “Auntie, why didn’t you stay at His Grace Hotel? I was looking forward to staying at the hotel to see the handsome Xavier again.” Then she cried sorrowfully.
Aunt Elizabeth comforted her niece and said, “Lily, I refused to stay at His Grace Hotel because Avery humiliated us in front of the Spencer family. Also, I wanted to embarrass August in front of his best friend.”
Aunt Elizabeth tried to coax her niece and said, “I will snatch Xavier from Avery. Didn’t we snatch Jordan from her before?” Lily looked at her aunt and shook her head. How could her aunt compare the handsome Xavier to Jordan?
They were far apart in terms of status and handsomeness. Jordan is like an ant in front of Xavier. He could be crushed by Xavier’s intimidating aura alone.
