Chapter 300 You Have NoMoral Standards

Chapter 300 You Have No Moral Bottom Line

Thinking about this, Harrison couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Lily naturally noticed Harrison's dilemma too.

She knew it was time for her to make her move.

Nestled in Harrison's arms, she said in a sweet childlike voice, "Okay then, since Gloria insists on having dinner with you, Daddy, you should go with her."

Hearing Lily give in, Gloria's face lit up with a bright smile.

She had a plan - as long as Harrison had dinner alone with her tonight, she was confident she could make Harrison remember their time together in school.

Harrison's feelings for her would naturally grow closer step by step.

Given Harrison's personality, it wasn't impossible that he might choose not to marry another woman for her sake.

"Lily, you're such a good girl. How about I ask Simon to take you home, okay?"

Gloria reached out, wanting to gently touch Lily's cheek, but Lily dodged, avoiding Gloria's outstretched hand.

She said to Gloria, "Gloria, are you really sure you want Simon to take me home?"

Gloria looked puzzled and said, "Why not?"

Lily's little hand stretched out, pointing at several young people outside dressed like reporters.

She said, "Gloria, my dad is the CEO of Frost Industries, and his fiancée is Ms. Reed from The Ella Johnson Medical Team - that's my mom. They're both public figures, and wherever they go, paparazzi follow them."

"If you go out to dinner alone with my dad this late at night, aren't you afraid these paparazzi will make you tomorrow morning's front page headline in Pinewood City?"

"By then, who knows if the media in Pinewood City will blast you as a shameless homewrecker destroying my dad and mom's marriage?"

Lily's words were partly meant to scare Gloria. Actually, she didn't really know much about these things.

She had just overheard Connor and Mia chatting and learned that public opinion could control a company's fate and destroy a person's reputation.

As for those young people who looked like reporters, Lily really couldn't be sure if they were actually reporters.

However, Frost Industries was a major corporation in Pinewood City, so having a few reporters constantly lurking around the Frost Industries office building wasn't anything unusual.

Gloria already felt guilty, so Lily used this to scare her.

Unexpectedly, Gloria, who had just been enthusiastically inviting Harrison to dinner, immediately turned pale with fright.

After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Hall family. Although her family's business was no longer based in Pinewood City, if having dinner with Harrison really caused a scandal and damaged the Hall family's reputation, her father would never forgive her.

Besides, she came to Pinewood City to seduce Harrison. If she failed to seduce Harrison and ended up damaging her own reputation instead, that would be terrible.

Harrison had his own calculations too. Previously, Mandy's behind-the-scenes manipulation had led to a flood of negative publicity that had already affected Frost Industries.

If it weren't for the strong collaboration between Frost Industries' PR department and The Ella Johnson Medical Team's PR department to suppress the matter, the negative impact of public opinion on Frost Industries would have been unimaginable.

If something happened again, his position as CEO of Frost Industries would be in danger.

More importantly, he didn't want Elena to have any misunderstandings about him because of these things.

Thinking of this, Harrison picked up Lily and stood up. He said to Gloria, "Gloria, I'm really sorry. Lily's health has never been good, and I really can't feel at ease letting Simon take her home."

"As for dinner, let's talk about it another time."

After Harrison finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Gloria looked at Harrison awkwardly. She knew that because of Lily's appearance, her dinner plan with Harrison had completely failed.

But she was unwilling to just let Harrison leave like this.

Thinking of this, she said, "Actually, this dinner isn't absolutely necessary, Harrison. You should put your child first."

"When you have time, we can meet up again. I'll message you anytime."

Seeing that she really couldn't stop Harrison, Gloria had to let him go.

Harrison politely nodded at Gloria, then left holding Lily. Nestled in Harrison's arms, Lily looked at Gloria with a somewhat disdainful expression.

Gloria was so angry her head hurt, but there was nothing she could do. She never expected that her carefully laid plan would be ruined by a little girl like Lily.

But at least she had already added Harrison's WhatsApp contact.

If they couldn't have dinner, so be it. She could use WhatsApp to flirt with Harrison in various ways.

As long as she worked hard, she refused to believe Harrison wouldn't fall for her.

Harrison carried Lily and got into the car Simon was driving.

As soon as they got in the car, Lily started lecturing Harrison like a little adult.

"Daddy, I need to give you some feedback."

Simon, who was driving, was delighted to hear Lily say she wanted to give Harrison feedback.

While driving, he perked up his ears, wanting to hear what feedback Lily was going to give Harrison.

Harrison said to Lily, "Okay, go ahead."

"Daddy, tell me, how can you have such low moral standards? You and Mom are about to get married, how can you still go on dates alone with other women?"

"By doing this, are you being fair to my mom? Have you forgotten how much effort and energy you spent to win my mom over? If my mom knew you were getting so close to another woman, how heartbroken would she be?"

Listening to Lily's accusations, Harrison's mind went blank. He had just met with Gloria, but in Lily's eyes, this meant he had no moral standards?

He was somewhat speechless.

"Lily, I have to tell you, I am a person with moral standards. I don't like that Gloria at all, so even if I had coffee or dinner with her, nothing would come of it."

"I advise you not to tell your mom about this. Let's just keep it as our little secret, okay? If your mom finds out and decides not to marry me, we father and daughter would be in big trouble."

Harrison explained himself in various ways to Lily.

Lily was simple and innocent. After Harrison's persuasion, she finally agreed not to tell Elena about this for now.

However, Lily warned Harrison not to have any more contact with Gloria.

Faced with the assertive Lily, Harrison could only agree.

Harrison and Lily arrived home at the same time. Lily quietly went to her room through the back stairs, and no one in the house noticed she had already snuck out for a trip.

As soon as Lily got home, she went to find Connor and Mia.

Upon seeing them, she immediately started complaining pitifully, "Connor, Mia, I have to tell you something."
