Chapter 171 Tearing Off the Mask of False Sibling Affection
Lily's expression was calm, yet it made Sophie break out in a cold sweat.
This was too abnormal.
After all, Lily had never been so obedient before. She must have kept something in reserve.
David, however, was somewhat satisfied, "It's best that you can come to your senses now. Don't think that just because you won once, you're so capable. If you want to establish yourself in Empire City, you'll ultimately have to rely on us, the Roberts family."
Lily laughed mockingly, "Rely on the Roberts family to starve? Your esports team failed, and the AI project failed too."
David's expression became unsightly, "Didn't Michael say he'd give you the company? This time, when you go back, quit Maple Leaf Corporation and tell Aubrey that they made you scheme against our Roberts Group, causing Maple Leaf Corporation to lose bidding qualifications!"
"Mr. Roberts, you're delusional if you think I'll do that." Lily's gaze was full of mockery.
Seeing Lily's expression, David was somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean by that? All these arrangements I'm making are for your own good. After you get Michael's company, working for the Roberts family is what you should do.
Not going to work for outsiders, or even competing with the family company!
Call Aubrey right now to explain clearly, then have the lawyer withdraw the lawsuit!"
Lily laughed out loud, "When did I ever say I would withdraw the lawsuit?"
David was stunned, then somewhat angry, "Are you playing with me? Didn't you just agree?"
"Did I agree? Don't be so presumptuous." Lily said disdainfully.
"Then what did you mean when you said my words made sense? Wasn't that acknowledgment?"
Lily's tone was relaxed, "Ah, yes, I did say that. You want me to withdraw the lawsuit - that's impossible. But I can sue only one person."
David's eyes showed wariness. "What do you mean?"
"Literally. Choose between Sophie and Austin - I can sue only one person, and naturally, the other will be fine."
The smile on Lily's face intensified, "Before the court session, you decide among yourselves. Who exactly will stand up to bear all the charges and go to prison?"
"Lily, are you crazy?"
Hearing Lily's words, Sophie's expression instantly changed.
She knew this wretched woman wouldn't agree so easily.
Actually making them choose between two!
This choice was so disgusting!
Lily wanted to drive a wedge between her and Austin's relationship!
Lily said, "I'm doing this for your own good. One person going to prison is better than two people going to prison, right?
I'm only reluctantly agreeing to this method for the sake of being family.
If you don't agree, then go as a team together.
Then your siblings can look after each other inside, which would be quite nice too."
After Lily finished speaking lightly, she turned and walked toward the stadium.
David was furious, "Lily, stop and explain clearly! How could you think of such a vicious method!"
Choosing between siblings - wasn't this making them turn against each other?
Who would be willing to go to prison?
Of course, Lily didn't turn back this time. She showed a slight smile.
Since they had deep sibling affection and were family with blood thicker than water, they should make a good choice.
After Lily entered the venue, it was very lively inside.
After sitting down, she glanced at Zoey, "Do you think the method I suggested is very vicious?"
"No, I think your method is excellent! It perfectly tears off their hypocritical family mask and directly faces their hypocritical hearts! Only when they get burned themselves will they know it hurts." Zoey had heard the entire process and originally wanted to speak up and argue.
But Lily didn't need her help at all.
Lily nodded, "Right, only when they hurt themselves can they experience what I felt before."
Let them experience it once, too.
She also wanted to see if their so-called sibling affection would still exist when facing interests!
The competition started soon.
After Lily saw both teams' players appear, her gaze fell on Mark, her expression somewhat dazed.
After all, Mark hadn't appeared in her previous life.
If Mark had also participated in this final in her previous life, her chances of winning at that time wouldn't have been great.
But this time, she refused to join Austin's team, and the team stopped at the semifinals without a chance to participate in the finals.
Yet Mark appeared again during this final.
If Mark was that person from her previous life, he should know how much she wanted to win that competition.
So did he withdraw from the finals to let her win that competition?
Looking at Mark on stage, Lily fell into confusion.
So that person from her previous life was Mark?
The competition started soon.
But Lily watched somewhat absent-mindedly, thinking about things.
Suddenly, her phone chimed with a message: [Watch the competition seriously]
This was a message from Dennis. Did he come too?
That made sense - Dennis and Eric both knew Mark, so it was normal for them to come watch the finals.
Lily looked around, but the stadium was huge; finding one person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lily couldn't find anyone and replied: [Where are you sitting?]
Dennis: [Interior rest room]
Actually, in the interior area.
Lily had participated in the finals in her previous life and knew the interior restroom had windows where you could see outside.
But with such a large area outside, how did he see her?
At this moment, in the interior restroom.
Eric poked Dennis, "Give me the binoculars. Haven't you seen enough? When I asked if you wanted to look earlier, didn't a certain someone say no?"
After he said he saw Lily, Dennis took the binoculars away.
These days, even friends aren't reliable!
Dennis turned sideways, threw the binoculars back, took out his phone, and zoomed in the camera to take photos of Lily.
After taking one photo, he sent it to Lily.
But she didn't reply. Dennis smiled at the corners of his mouth.
Eric leaned over, "What did you send her? You're smiling so happily?"
Dennis turned his phone face down, obviously not intending to say.
Eric held the binoculars, "The lawyers have everything arranged. The court hearing will take several months, but we'll definitely win! Send the Roberts family people to eat prison food and send that despicable woman in too!"
This way, Lily's life would be peaceful.
No one would disturb her life anymore.
"Without Sophie around, the Roberts family, I wonder if Lily's brothers will become more normal!" Eric speculated.
Dennis's expression was extremely cold, "They don't need to stay around Lily. They don't deserve it!"
"You're right. After doing so many things to hurt Lily before, they absolutely cannot be forgiven!"
Dennis's phone chimed.
He opened the chat box and saw Lily had replied with a frantic emoji. His stern eyebrows softened slightly.
Lily was very angry.
This guy actually took a candid photo of her ugly picture!
From such a distance with such blurry quality, the snapshot made her look like an idiot!
Too much!
Lily angrily typed: [Delete that photo!]
He raised an eyebrow and replied: [Deleted.]
Lily: [I don't believe you. I want to check your phone later!]
Dennis paused his fingertip: [Only my girlfriend can check.]
Only his girlfriend could check?
But wasn't he single?
