Lacy's face turned pale at Lilia's words. Her parents also couldn't reply to her words because that was what happened.
Lilia felt satisfied seeing their reactions. It seemed like her debating skills had improved a lot since she met Jean, "Therefore, the solution I offer is to let Daniel take responsibility and marry Lacy." Lilia continued.
Alfred turned to Lilia. His expression was colored with surprise. The three members of the Iswara Family also looked at Lilia in disbelief. But among all of them, Lacy was the first to show her reaction. Her expression of disbelief turned to joy and relief.
Lilia smiled coldly at Lacy's easy-to-read reaction.
"W-What… Are you serious? Can you really make that decision? How about your parent's opinion?" Freddy's voice trembled. His greedy eyes sparkled as if he could already see the Pangestu Family's wealth falling into his hands.
If their daughter could marry the Pangestu Family's only son, all their assets would belong to him. He didn't have to work hard anymore and could live a relaxed life with all that wealth.
Lilia nodded with a serious face, "Of course, I can decide that. My father has left this matter in my hands. If you don't believe me, I can call him now…" Lilia acted as if she was going to take out her cellphone.
"N-No need! We believe in you! " Fred hurriedly stopped Lilia. The greedy man wanted to formalize this marriage before Lilia's parents could intervene.
"Okay." Lilia nodded. She wanted to praise herself for being able to act so convincingly. "But before they can get married, my family has rules that Lacy has to follow."
"What rules?" For the first time, Lacy spoke up. She had been looking down and making a pitiful face like an innocent victim since earlier, but now the young woman was staring straight at Lilia. It looked like she'd stopped pretending because her goal had been accomplished.
"The rule is very simple. Since you claim that the baby in your womb is Daniel's child, we just need to go to the hospital and find out the truth. If the DNA matches, we will immediately arrange for your marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Iswara, do you agree?"
For a moment, no one was able to answer.
The excitement on Lacy's face faded and was replaced by panic. She glanced at her parents as if asking for help. Seeing her daughter's gaze, Madel immediately spoke in a sharp tone, "What do you mean? DNA examination? Are you accusing Lacy of slandering that ignorant man?"
Freddy nodded beside his wife, "Miss Lilia, your words just now made us doubt whether you really wanted to solve this case."
The man then turned to Alfred, "Mr. Alfred too, why are you silent and let this young lady say whatever she wants? Shouldn't you be the neutral party here? If you really don't want to settle this matter properly, we don't mind meeting in court!"
Alfred just smiled and didn't answer. He did not feel the need to answer someone who did not know the duties of the neutral party in this meeting. Alfred would only speak up when things get out of hand. So far, he could see that Lilia had complete control over this situation.
Hearing Freddy's repeated words, Lilia wanted to take a deep breath, "Aren't you sure that the baby's father is my brother? You just need to do a simple DNA test so we have clear evidence. Unless…" Lilia glared at Lacy, "...You are not sure who the father of the baby is."
Lacy hurriedly lowered her head, but her nervous movements were enough to answer Lilia's suspicion. Daniel's sister smiled coldly. How dare this woman try to trick the Pangestu Family?
Sitting next to Lilia, Alfred's eyes were constantly fixed on her. From the start of the meeting until now, Lilia had never shown the slightest nervousness or panic. Even though the Iswara Family tried to complicate the situation, Lilia's response remained calm and polite. Lilia's attitude surprised Alfred. The man became curious about what made this beautiful model so full of confidence.
Meanwhile, Freddy and Madel ran out of excuses to fight Lilia. Madel suddenly stood up and hit the table, "What are you asking for a DNA test for?! I bet you told us to come today just to slander my daughter! We are victims! Why are you so impudent?! You really don't know the rules! I will call the police and sue you in court!" Cried Madel.
"Mrs. Iswara, please calm yourself!" Alfred immediately got up and placed himself in front of Lilia. He was worried that Madel would hit Lilia if she wasn't stopped.
Lilia wasn't afraid at all. Her lips curved into a sinister smile, "You're right, we should settle this with lawsuits. I happened to call an acquaintance lawyer today. Instead of arguing over who the baby's father is, we better turn the case over to the police. Lawyer Sadana, please come in!" Lilia raised her voice and called someone.
Only a few seconds after Lilia spoke, Alfred's door opened. Kenny walked in looking like a professional attorney, carrying a leather briefcase and a stack of documents.
"Good morning, Miss Lilia." Kenny immediately approached his client, "I've heard everything. Just leave this case to me." The man said in a serious tone while standing beside Lilia.
Lacy's face turned even paler upon witnessing this all. Daniel's big sister had predicted that her parents would complicate the situation and prepared a lawyer! If this case was actually brought to court and the lies were exposed, then…
Lacy jumped up from her chair and immediately knelt in front of her parents, "Father! Mother! Don't take this matter to court! This baby is not Daniel's child!"
