Chapter 157 Lily Is Actually a Real Rich Young Lady
"Ow ow ow, my finger's about to break!" Samantha screamed in pain.
Lily was bending Samantha's finger back when Sophie quickly ran over.
Sophie hurriedly said, "Lily, let go! So many people are watching!"
"So many people are watching - Samantha started it first." Lily released her hand, and Samantha fell to the ground.
Sophie quickly helped Samantha up. "Are you okay?"
Samantha screamed hysterically, "What are you standing there for? Go break this hick's fingers for me!"
"I'd like to see anyone try!" Michael strode onto the stage and looked at Samantha. "Ms. Harper, assaulting someone in front of everyone - do you want to get arrested and detained again?"
When Sophie saw Michael appear, she immediately became nervous.
Samantha said coldly, "Who are you? Lily's lover?"
"Watch your mouth. Lily is my sister."
"Lily's an orphan - how can she have a brother!"
Michael answered seriously, "Lily is not an orphan. She's the daughter of the Roberts family from Imperial City. She just keeps a low profile and never mentions it."
Samantha said in surprise, "But isn't Sophie the daughter of your Roberts family? How is Lily the real one?"
Samantha turned her head to look at Sophie - this woman had always called herself the Roberts family's daughter!
Sophie could barely maintain her expression.
Sophie quickly looked at Michael. "Michael, so many people are watching. Let's go down and talk about this."
She couldn't let others know she was just an adopted daughter!
Otherwise, how could she survive in their circle in the future?
"Sophie is just our Roberts family's adopted daughter, the driver's daughter. Lily is my real sister!"
Michael personally clarified Lily's identity.
When Sophie heard this, her face instantly turned deathly pale. It was over, all over!
How could she hold her head up at business school after this?
Samantha was also surprised. Wasn't Lily actually a hick? Was she a rich young lady?
Samantha felt very uncomfortable. "If Lily is the Roberts family's daughter, then why is it the driver's daughter attending business school and not Lily?"
"The business school spot was originally reserved for Lily, but she's excellent on her own and got into Quest University."
Michael's words were heard by everyone present.
It caused quite a commotion below.
"Oh my god, so Lily is the real rich young lady. She's clearly also a business school student."
"Lily keeps such a low profile. That driver's daughter stole her identity and went around showing off being a rich young lady - how ridiculous."
"Right, a stolen identity, and she's so high-profile about it. Hilarious."
After hearing these comments, Sophie was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear.
She looked at Michael with tears in her eyes. "Michael, you..."
Why did you have to embarrass me in public?
Why?
But Michael didn't even glance at Sophie. He turned around and looked at Lily carefully. "Lily, I did many wrong things before. After reflecting during this time, I know the harm I caused you can't be undone. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, I just hope to make it up to you more and not let people bully you!"
Lily's expression was completely calm. "But did you ask if I needed you to do this?"
"I just saw you being bullied and wanted to clarify your identity!" Michael explained.
"See, you didn't ask what I needed. You just assumed everything you did was making it up to me. In the end, you were only doing it for yourself!" Lily didn't want to tell everyone about her relationship with the Roberts family at all!
But today, Michael announced it publicly!
And said he was clarifying her rich young lady status to prevent her from being bullied!
Michael panicked for a moment. "That's not what I meant."
He really wanted to do something.
Lily took the microphone and looked at everyone present. "I was indeed part of the Roberts family before, but not anymore. My longtime fans should know I don't get along with my family. Here I'm clarifying once again - I have nothing to do with the Roberts family!"
After hearing Lily's words, Michael felt terrible but didn't know what to say.
Sophie took the opportunity to speak up. "Lily, Michael had good intentions. Why are you embarrassing Michael in public? You don't know how much I envy you."
Poppy, standing next to Lily, said sarcastically, "Sophie, you're clearly just a driver's daughter, yet you got to attend business school. Whose spot did you take - don't you have any idea?"
"Exactly, a driver's daughter can attend business school - shows how biased they usually are."
"So biased like this, no wonder Lily wants to cut ties with her family. If it were me, I'd cut ties too!"
Sophie was left speechless and could only look to Michael for help. "Michael, I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to help you persuade Lily!"
"I don't need you to persuade anyone. Shut your troublemaking mouth!" This time, Michael didn't fall for Sophie's trick. "If Lily doesn't respect me, I deserve it. Can't blame anyone else."
After hearing Michael's words, Sophie's eyes filled with disbelief.
Strange - this used to work every time she said something like that.
Lily was so disrespectful just now, and Michael really had no problem with it at all?
Michael turned and walked off the stage. Sophie panicked and chased after him.
Leaving Samantha alone on stage.
Lily raised an eyebrow at Samantha, scaring her into running away, afraid of getting beaten up by Lily again.
Poppy stood beside Lily. "Although there was a small conflict, voting continues."
In the end, Lily's votes were far ahead, and she successfully became captain with a huge advantage!
Lily was surrounded by everyone celebrating - her popularity was very high!
But soon, people from the Harper family came looking for her.
Lily went to the captain's office and saw a lawyer wearing glasses, with Samantha also there.
Samantha said smugly, "Lily, this is my lawyer. You're done for now. This time you're the one to go to jail."
The lawyer pushed up his glasses. "Ms. Roberts, finally, we meet. We spoke on the phone before."
"Oh, it's you." Lily sat in a chair and opened her phone. "These are videos from the bathroom last time. Samantha didn't tell you about them, did she?"
Samantha immediately felt guilty - she really hadn't mentioned it, afraid of getting scolded.
Because her mother told her to keep a low profile and not get caught again.
After the lawyer watched the video content, his expression finally changed. He stood up to make a phone call and reported this to Samantha's mother, Freya Harper.
Soon, Samantha received a call from Freya and got badly scolded.
The lawyer looked at Lily. "How do you plan to resolve this?"
"Very simple. Samantha apologizes to me, and I'll delete the video."
"Impossible! I'd rather die than apologize to you!" Samantha jumped up and ran off without looking back.
Lily looked at the lawyer with a half-smile. "I'll give you one day to think about it. I'm quite reasonable."
"Ms. Roberts, I need to report this, but if you insist on going against the Harper family, we'll withdraw the team's investment funding. You'd better think carefully about that too."
After the lawyer left, Lily felt this was indeed something that needed to be resolved.
The only company she knew that could invest and sponsor was Maple Leaf Corporation.
Lily thought about it and sent Eric a message: [Mr. Murphy, do you have time to have dinner together?]
When Eric saw this message, he was shocked.
He looked up at Dennis. "Have you been in contact with Lily recently?"
Dennis had been looking at documents. His expression darkened considerably. "No."
Eric said, "But she just sent me a message asking me out to dinner!"
