This kind of suspicion made Lilia feel like a criminal, but looking at what William had been up to in the past few months, she thought it wouldn't be impossible.
Harold's breath shortened as he replied sadly, "Alright then, what's the third?"
"In the next half month, can you raise Milia's popularity?"
"Why are you trying to help her?" Harold was disgusted.
Lilia didn't answer. "No, I'm just testing the water here."
"Fine then," after Harold agreed, he still couldn't help but be curious. "Are you planning to go independent after registering your studio?"
"Well, I have this plan, but you have to remember not to be caught by the Aphrodite Agency. During my absence, they will definitely continue to fuss about me. I will also post some status in a bit, just watch. Also, don't make any conflict with Albert and just be patient. Wait for me for everything."
Lilia's tone was very serious, and after she finished speaking, she anxiously advised, "Make sure to wait for me to return."
"I see..." Harold muttered. "Is this going to take long?"
Lilia scratched her cheek and smiled lightly. "I don't know how long, maybe more than half a month, or… A few months."
She didn't know when her eyes would be healed..
Even though Jean told her that Vincent's medical skills were excellent, she didn't know if she could trust that guy.
But no matter what, she wanted this child so badly.
She had no other reason to defend the child in her womb other than the fact that it was her child. Lilia couldn't just let her child die.
Mothers around the world might relate with her.
She was still young, she still had many chances in the future.
But if this child died because of her, it would be an irreparable mistake for her to shoulder the guilt through the years to come.
What's more, she had an accident and was injured, but the child in her womb was safe.
After understanding how hard this child wanted to live, it would be cruel if Lilia didn't join the effort for her first child.
After hanging up the phone, Lilia sat on the balcony alone. Even though she was full of thoughts, there was still a calm smile on her mouth.
She didn't know where they were going, but for the sake of her child, it seemed like this little baby really needed a place away from trifles. Lilia couldn't wait to hear the fetal heartbeat.
...
Downstairs, Chris and Alex were seen sitting together.
Chris leaned back in his chair, with one foot on the coffee table. He looked at the man across him and asked, "You mean this is the work of the Ricardo family?"
When he asked this, his eyes darkened.
He had worked with Ricky before, but he didn't expect that Ricky would have the courage to hurt someone he knew.
Jean looked serious as he answered. "He's helping Milia."
"Dammit!" Chris cursed. "Ricky currently has no money in his hands. Most of the Ricardo family property is in the hands of the heir. Ricky is cruel and vicious. He had already killed countless bodyguards in his family. Because of this atrocity several years ago, he was immediately stripped off the Ricardo family inheritance."
"Are you still working together with him now?" Alex looked up from his phone and looked at Chris.
Chris shrugged. "There are still a few small projects, I don't know the details myself. But I will ask my secretary to draft a termination letter and end the contract right away. "
Needless to say, those who dared to provoke him would no longer have a chance to cooperate with his company.
"Jean, how long are you going to be away this time?"
The man then looked at Alex. "At least a month,"
According to Vincent, it would take at least a month for Lilia's eyes to heal.
Chris looked at Jean. "Are you sure you can come back in one month?"
"Not sure."
Chris had never met Vincent before. He just heard that Jean had found a beautiful man from nowhere and asked him to heal Lilia.
This made Chris think of something else.
Being surrounded by members of several big families turned out wasn't good enough. Besides, Jean himself was still a mysterious person.
None of them knew what was the reason for him going abroad ten years ago.
...
That night, after sending everyone off, Jean left his study.
He closed the door tightly and made a call on his cell phone.
When connected, his tone was sharp. "Gather all of Ricky's illegal activities as soon as possible, reveals this across the network on behalf of Alfred."
"Yes, young master!"
After a moment of silence, the man continued, "Send someone to protect Harold secretly and keep an eye on the situation at Aphrodite Agency. And all the news about Lilia on the Internet will be deleted."
At the other end of the call, the other party said in an embarrassing tone, "Young master, Miss Lilia… just posted a status on her social media. Would you like to... delete it too?"
She posted on social media?!
Where's her phone? Why didn't he have it with him?!
The man unconsciously touched his trouser pocket and found that Lilia's cellphone was missing.
When he came out of the calling interface, he logged onto social media and saw Lilia's status.
Lilia: "Good evening everyone, how are you guys? I hope everyone is well. Unfortunately, I will be leaving the stage to focus on healing and the return date is not yet certain. Please forgive me for the trouble. All of my daily work has been completely suspended. If anyone attends the event on my behalf, please report it."
It was published ten minutes ago, which directly led to the news tagged '#Traveling supermodel Lilia' topping the most popular searches.
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but smile.
Aphrodite Agency previously asked many newcomers to attend the event on her behalf, but now that she has published such a status, even if her agency intends to do so in the future, sponsors will report it.
The smart woman destroyed her agency and saved herself.
Genesis Company's official account also retweeted Lilia's status. Jean was no exception.
The comment section was filled with prayers and support from her fans.
However, there was one account with a very catchy name.
@It's been a month since my account was blocked: "Lilia, take care of your body! Uncle will pray for you! [bear hug]"
When the man looked at the account, he thought for a moment then picked up the phone and started talking again.
"Has Reynold's account been blocked?"
The person on the other side of the line was dumbfounded. "Last time, thousands of accounts were blocked at the same time, maybe they blocked it accidentally."
"Restore the account." The man pursed his lips and remembered that the teenager from the Mayer family was indeed a big fan of Lilia.
He was still very young and he idolized his wife, but Jean wouldn't drop his guard.
...
Ten minutes later, the man returned to the master bedroom. Only in this place could there be a rare peace and harmony between them.
However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he found that there was no one in the bed. His passing gaze finally fixed on the balcony outside the window.
The handsome man's face sank!
When the door opened, a chilling night wind blew in. The man stepped forward without a word and pushed her back into the room.
"Have you finished talking?" Lilia's legs were covered with a blanket, and she was only wearing a thin knitted sweater on top of her body.
After the man closed the window, he pressed the corners of his lips and touched her face, feeling the cold on his wife's cheeks....
