Alice secretly remembered these words in her heart.
She loves Josh, but it's a disease that ends in sadness.
?
The education she received from an early age made it impossible for her to do things that ignored manners and morality.
Maybe, adding mustard to Lilia's cake was the most 'evil' thing she's ever done.
Perhaps Alice felt relieved by those words.
When the two of them returned to the dining room, everyone immediately turned their attention.
Alice caught a watchful eye, she pretended to furiously step forward and raised Lilia's arm. "What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a beautiful woman?"
She is a girl with a big heart, and no matter what outsiders think of her, she will still join hands with Lilia.
Glen nodded in relief. "I've seen beautiful women, but I've never seen a woman who can beat your beauty."
When Alice raised her eyebrows and pulled Lilia to the buffet area, she couldn't help muttering, "Ignore them, I'll give you another meal. There are some Parma signature dishes that are mild in taste, you should try."
...
In the middle of dinner, three bottles of wine were already empty on the table.
The red wine bottle that Antonio brought had been emptied for a long time.
At this time, Glen rubbed his brows and lifted his chin towards Jean. "Josh, are you going to take over your company? I've been helping you run it the last few years, and at least, the profits have been preserved."
Lilia looks to the side, did he just say that her husband still owned a company in Parma?!
"Just let it go." The man said nonchalantly.
Glen grabbed the wine glass from the table and shook it. "Give it up? There are hundreds of millions of profits every year, but you want to give it up instead?"
The man took a sip of red wine. "If you like it, you can have it one day."
Glen couldn't reply, he was speechless.
Hearing this, Antonio twisted a strand of hair from the back of his head and put it on his fingertips to play around. "Josh, if you have a lot of money, why don't you give me that tech company?"
Vincent squinted. "What company were you talking about again?"
He knows Josh has a lot of investment in Parma, but how come he hasn't heard of any tech company?!
At this time, Antonio explained, "It's a global network interaction platform, typically an information company that can provide all the information we want."
Glen gave Antonio a strange look. "How do you know?"
When Josh left, no records of this company's existence in the industry had been handed over to him.
Seeing everyone confused, Antonio had a smile on his handsome face. "I heard Josh and Uncle Hans say it at the start."
To be exact, he overheard it.
At the end of the speech, everyone looked at the calm and patient Jean.
Even Lilia was a little surprised, she put her hand under the table and gently scratched it twice.
At that moment, the man opened his eyes then looked at Antonio. "Impossible."
The company is the big information network behind it.
He gave Glen everything about Parma, except for the information network, which he held in his hands.
Antonio pouted his lips angrily. "I know you're reluctant to sell your tech company for money. I estimate its annual turnover is in the tens of billions."
The man pursed his lips and answered in a soft voice, "No matter how high the flow is, it can't be compared to the mineral resources you have."
This is true!
Antonio felt relieved somehow.
At nine o'clock that night, the cruise ship sailed back.
When Lilia and the man returned to the city center, she asked curiously, "When you were in Parma, did you also run a lot of business?"
The man drives the car and turns to her. "Not many, some were invested by Uncle Hans."
Lilia clearly remembered the old man lying on the hospital bed at that time, he must have occupied an important position in Jean's world.
That night, when they returned to the villa, Lilia saw Clifford, Dina and Rini making a barbecue in front of the artificial lake.
Strand of blue smoke filled her surroundings at night, and she stood at the door looking at the scene with a smile. "If I had known they were going to cook, I should have eaten less!"
"Do you want to go over there and join them?"
The night in the city of Parma is very comfortable, unlike the coolness of the sea, the lake is full of warmth.
"No need, I want to sleep..."
"Then I'll accompany you!"
...
Lilia fell asleep earlier that night.
The time difference between Parma and Indonesia is only six hours, but on this day, a scandal broke on the Internet and stirred a storm in Lilia's birth country.
The news was about her adoptive father.
She didn't know where the news came from. Lilia's adoptive father, Robert, is currently being treated at Minerva Hospital.
They said that his condition was serious, but Lilia never appeared from beginning to end.
There are disagreements on this issue online.
Lilia's fans responded to the rumors.
Some people also pointed out that the two of them have the same surname, but Lilia somehow chose to be? with the Mayer family from the capital, and abandoned her relationship with her parents who had taken care of her since childhood.
Although the rumors weren't credible, they were somewhat terrifying.
Gaia Entertainment immediately took care of the matters with their PR department and revealed Lilia's ID.
But people did not buy it, they even released photos and evidence of Lilia's presence in the Pangestu family's house.
No wonder people didn't believe it. Ever since Lilia entered this industry, her life had been a mystery. Even if she was previously rumored as the daughter of the Mayer family, she still has the same surname as Robert, which was Pangestu.
After all, the Pangestu surname was extremely rare.
When Lilia learns of this news, she is driving with Jean, planning to visit the mayor's house.
She received a call from Harold and learned about the situation, but she felt nothing. Honestly, she even wanted to laugh.
During Chinese New Year, some people couldn't help and started attacking her, they really couldn't hold back and let Lilia catch a break.
"Don't worry, we'll be home tomorrow."
The man beside her looked at her cold eyes, then took her hand and whispered soothingly.
Lilia was dumbfounded. "Aren't we going home on the seventh day? Tomorrow is still the fourth day."
The man raised his eyebrows and looked out the window. "It's time to come back."
Jean took her to Parma just to introduce her to his brothers here, and also to explain his five years of absence.
Right now, the people in their country of origin are becoming increasingly restless, but it's time to teach a few lessons.
Lilia's eyes showed a stern expression seriously, and as her five fingers spread across her husband's, she was joking, "Are you worried that public opinion will get out of hand?"
"I'm just worried about you!" The man answered softly, but a gloomy cold light appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lilia curled up then lowered her head and stroked the man's fingertips. "Don't worry, my stomach will enlarge soon and I don't plan to attend any more events."
"As for this matter, since the entire network wants to morally attack me, then I'll just slap their faces with facts. You haven't returned to Parma in years, so you better not rush back home. Besides, this only shows that someone was deliberately targeting me, and I'm used to it!"
