Jonah thought to himself that he might as well let Scarlett play her runaway act since she wanted to.
Only when she had suffered enough would she shed the bad habits she brought with her from the countryside.
Then, she would realize that the best choice for her was to return to the Quinn family.
Even if she wanted to come back later, he wouldn’t let her get her way so easily.
She had truly pissed him off today.
Lily said, “Jonah, don’t be angry.
Maybe Scarlett just lacks money, and that’s why she asked you for the medical fees.
How about we give her a little?
I really can’t bear to see her suffer outside…” She had underestimated Scarlett.
She didn’t even know that Scarlett had once treated Mr.
Hayes’s wife.
Jonah would definitely remember what Scarlett had said earlier today.
Lily couldn’t let Jonah soften and feel like he owed Scarlett.
She had to remind Jonah of how Scarlett had humiliated the Quinn family today.
She casually said, “Otherwise, Scarlett might think we can’t even afford that little medical fee…” Jonah interrupted angrily, “Our family is the richest in Yendale.
Do you really think we can’t afford that small medical fee?
The more she wants it, the less I’ll give her.
Let’s see what she can do!
She’s so heartless and doesn’t care about our family honor.
Why should I care about her?” He turned to Lily and said, “Lily, you’re too kind.
She wants to kick you out of the Quinn family, and you’re still speaking up for her.
I feel so sorry for you.” Lily lowered her head, feeling dejected.
“After all, she’s the real daughter of the Quinn family, and I’m just the adopted daughter.
You all like me so much, so it’s understandable that she doesn’t like me…” Then, Lily straightened her back and said with determination, “I’ve made up my mind.
I can’t keep relying on your protection.
Once I get into university, I’ll move out, and Scarlett can come back.
Jonathan, Jonah, could you try to accept her, please?” Jonah sighed and affectionately said, “You’re always thinking about her.
Why don’t you think about yourself for once?
You’re the heiress of the Quinn family, raised with everything you need.
How can we let you suffer out there?
You should be living under our protection, enjoying the life that an heiress like you deserves.” Jonathan nodded in agreement, saying, “Don’t worry, we haven’t revealed Scarlett’s identity to the public.
In our hearts, you’re the true heiress of the Quinn family.” “We know how to judge things, and liking someone isn’t just about words,” he added with a deep sigh.
“If Scarlett had even half the sense you have, we wouldn’t be so frustrated with her.” Lily joyfully wrapped her arms around both of her brothers and sweetly said, “Jonathan, Jonah, you guys are so good to me.
I love you both so much!
I want to be your sister forever.” Jonathan smiled warmly, “Silly girl, you’ll always be our sister.” Jonah nodded.
“That’s right, Lily.
Don’t let Scarlett’s actions make you overthink.
I swear, I’ll protect you for the rest of your life.
No one can take what’s yours!” Lily felt a surge of satisfaction and pride.
Scarlett must be delusional to think she could snatch her brothers away.
Since Scarlett had decided to run away from home, she should never expect to return to the Quinn family and compete with her again.
Scarlett was nothing more than a country bumpkin.
Even if she were the real heiress, she would still have to leave the Quinn family in disgrace.
Lily guessed that Scarlett was probably still worrying about her future livelihood.
However, Lily was mistaken.
Although Scarlett was worried, it wasn’t about survival.
She was actually stressed over the handsome and almost otherworldly Xavier, who was watching her while she tutored Percy.
Feeling the weight of his intense presence, she was stressed out, but she calmly pulled out a workbook and gestured to Percy beside her.
Percy shook his head.
Scarlett blinked in confusion.
“What’s wrong?” Xavier suddenly asked.
His voice was gentle, yet in the vast hall, it still carried an air of authority.
He noticed Scarlett’s subtle gesture and added, “Percy, take out the book.”
