Chapter 132 Start Doubting Sophie
Michael stared at Hugo: "I'm Lily's brother! I'm her family!"
"What, you're her brother? But didn't Lily say her parents were dead and she was an orphan?"
Hugo was very surprised. Where did this brother suddenly come from?
Michael turned to look at Lily, somewhat helpless: "Lily, do you really hate being connected to the Roberts family that much?"
Lily said directly to Hugo: "My parents are indeed dead, and I don't have any family."
She didn't want to admit any connection to the Roberts family!
"Lily, I know you've been angry at the family, but at a time like this, stop being stubborn."
Michael had a bit of a headache, not expecting Lily to be so firm.
He looked at Hugo: "This is my business card, and my passport. Lily is my little sister, but because of some conflicts with the family, she's been saying this. But she has family!"
Hugo glanced at Michael's business card and passport.
Same last name as Lily, even the same address.
Hugo's expression became somewhat awkward. He didn't expect Lily to actually have family, and it looked like they were pretty well-off, too.
Michael's business card even said he was the president of some company!
So was the rumor about Lily being kept by someone just gossip?
Isaac quietly said, "Probably ran away from home in a fit of anger."
Hugo's face became even more interesting. Didn't that mean everything he just said was proven wrong?
Hugo finally spoke: "We didn't know about Lily's family situation before, so we misunderstood her. But she did install a program and hack so many students' phones, and that's definitely wrong!"
"But those students were indeed spreading rumors and slandering my sister. If they're not happy about it, they can talk to my lawyer. I don't mind suing them one by one!"
Michael's attitude was very firm!
No one could bully his sister!
Now Hugo didn't know what to do, so he looked at the principal, Miguel Franklin: "Mr. Franklin, how do you think we should handle this?"
Lily wasn't some poor student whose parents had died - she was a wealthy young lady from a good family. This was tricky.
Miguel looked at Michael: "But Lily also got into a conflict with business school students this time. Mr. Roberts, you work in business, so you should know how serious this is. If their parents find out about this, Mr. Roberts will probably have trouble, too."
No one could afford to mess with the parents of business school students!
Michael snorted coldly: "But they spread rumors first. The Roberts family absolutely won't back down one bit!"
"Who asked you to meddle? This is my own business!"
Lily looked at Michael: "Just leave. I don't need you handling my affairs!"
"Lily, even if you're angry, wait until I finish handling this."
"I've already cut ties with the Roberts family. You have no right to handle my affairs!"
Lily didn't want to accept charity from the Roberts family!
And she didn't want any connection to the Roberts family!
Michael carefully showed a bitter smile, but when he turned back to look at Miguel, he became especially forceful: "The Roberts family will definitely pursue this matter to the end!"
Lily just felt very irritated!
She looked at Hugo and said, "Didn't you want me to explain my relationship with that man and my source of income? I have proof!"
She was now a signed major streamer and also a key member of Maple Leaf Corporation's research team. She wasn't short of money at all!
Hugo coughed: "Since your brother is here, you don't need to prove that."
"He's not my brother. I'll prove my own affairs myself!"
After Lily said this, Hugo didn't believe her at all and just treated her like a wealthy young lady throwing a tantrum!
So frustrating!
At this moment, Miguel suddenly received a phone call.
Miguel's tone became very respectful: "Okay, understood, I know how to handle this!"
After Miguel hung up, he glanced at Lily and said, "We've investigated and confirmed that the forum content was indeed rumors and has nothing to do with you."
Hugo spoke up: "What about those locked phones?"
That was the key issue now.
The teachers and professors from the computer science department had all tried together, but couldn't crack Lily's program. It felt like being humiliated.
They couldn't even break code written by a freshman.
Miguel coughed and said, "Since the post content was rumors and not true, then those who followed along slandering Lily should indeed apologize!"
Lily was a bit surprised to hear Miguel's response.
Was it resolved this quickly?
After hearing Miguel say this, Hugo couldn't continue arguing, but wasn't this handling too lenient toward Lily's behavior?
At this moment, Isaac came up to Lily: "Lily, what exactly did you hide in that program you wrote on the school forum? We tried all afternoon and evening but couldn't crack your code!"
That was why he came to the office.
He was really curious!
Lily looked over: "It's simple. If there's a computer, I can demonstrate."
Miguel stood up: "Use my computer. I'm also curious how a freshman could stump all the computer science teachers."
Lily walked over and stood in front of the computer. She opened the school forum, then her slender fingers danced across the keyboard.
She directly wrote a code, then analyzed the program she'd written in class!
After listening, Isaac couldn't help but laugh: "So that's it. Your little trick, most people wouldn't think of it. Lily, did your family give you extra tutoring before?"
Miguel looked at Michael: "Mr. Roberts, how did you raise this child? Our school has many talented people, but someone with Lily's level of natural talent - she's the only one I've encountered so far."
Michael's expression was somewhat awkward.
He smiled bitterly: "She probably taught herself all this."
The family never gave Lily any special training!
They even held Lily back!
Lily stood up from the computer. None of this was difficult for her - she'd learned all this in her previous life.
But Isaac was very happy: "Lily, the school has special training courses for talented people like you. Do you want to participate?"
"She's not going!"
Michael immediately refused on Lily's behalf. He looked at Lily and said, "That special course should be in the business school, part of the elite education content."
But Lily had offended the Harper family. If Lily went to classes at the business school, she might get bullied!
"Of course, this depends on Lily's own wishes."
Lily calmly refused: "I really don't want to go."
Miguel still wanted to persuade her: "If you're worried about the previous conflict with the business school, I can help you resolve it."
"Really, no need, Mr. Franklin. I appreciate your kind offer. Even if I don't receive this so-called elite education, I can still be better than them!"
Lily's tone was calm but somewhat arrogant.
She originally just wanted to quietly enjoy university life.
But circumstances wouldn't allow it!
After Lily finished speaking, she left the principal's office, since the matter was already resolved.
Michael followed behind her: "Lily, can we talk?"
"No time!"
Lily's eyes showed impatience!
She quickened her pace down the stairs, but at the landing one floor down, she ran into Sophie.
Sophie had a smug expression on her face: "Lily, did Mr. Franklin give you a punishment? I told you to apologize and admit your mistake earlier, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Lily didn't do anything wrong. Why should she apologize and admit a mistake?"
Michael came down from behind. Sophie's face turned pale with fright!
Why was Michael here?
