Chapter 113 Lily, This Is a Betrayal of the Roberts Family
After hearing this, Lily let out a cold laugh.
The Roberts family really hasn't changed one bit.
She lifted her eyelids slightly, her almond-shaped eyes carrying a hint of coldness: "I know."
"Since you know, why are you still working part-time at Maple Leaf Corporation? If you need money, you can just tell us. Although David cut off your card, Michael and I won't cut off your allowance."
Austin was somewhat angry. After all, Lily was part of the Roberts family, so why would she work part-time at a competitor's company?
Lily stood up directly: "I have absolutely nothing to do with the Roberts family anymore. Where I work has nothing to do with you either."
"Lily, even if you hate David, you can't do this to Michael, right?"
"To me, you're all the same."
Lily's expression was distant and cold: "I made it very clear before - we should act like strangers when we meet in the future."
Michael stopped Austin: "Forget it, let's go back over there. Lily is still angry right now, don't push her so hard."
Watching the Roberts family leave, Lily remembered that in her past life, Michael had indeed attended this investment conference too.
Except back then, Michael had made a big splash at this conference using the AI system she had helped develop.
Sophie, with her sweet talk and people skills, was kept by Michael's side to help with promotion.
But she had once again been forgotten on the sidelines, and in the end, no one knew she was the one who developed it.
This time, Lily wanted to see how far Michael's company could go without her involvement!
Before long, people from the investment conference began taking turns viewing everyone's work.
When they got to Lily's booth, the AI system she developed amazed everyone present.
Someone from the conference looked at Lily: "Miss, did you develop all this yourself?"
Lily nodded: "Yes."
"You're so young yet so talented. Which university did you graduate from?"
Lily paused: "I haven't started college yet."
Someone from a nearby company explained for Lily: "Ms. Roberts got the highest SAT score in Imperial City this year and has been accepted to Empire City University. Her abilities are truly outstanding."
"Really impressive, such a bright future ahead."
Everyone gathered around, praising Lily.
The Roberts family couldn't even squeeze through.
Watching Lily surrounded by admirers like stars around the moon, Michael felt somewhat emotional: "Lily has really grown up."
Austin's expression was also complicated: "Michael, how come I never noticed Lily was this talented before?"
Including how gifted she was at gaming, how she ranked first in the city on exams, and now how excellent she was at developing AI.
By comparison, Sophie was weak at gaming, had poor stress tolerance, and had her exam results canceled for cheating.
With such an outstanding sister, why hadn't he noticed before?
Austin had always thought Sophie was excellent, but now it seemed Lily was the truly outstanding one!
Michael smiled bitterly: "So we owe Lily a lot. We need to find a way to earn her forgiveness in the future."
"Right, we're still family after all. Lily will definitely forgive us eventually."
Michael nodded. No matter what, they had to make it up to Lily.
After the investment conference ended, several companies came to Lily to inquire about future collaboration.
But she wasn't in charge of that content. Eric had gone to the restroom and hadn't come back, so she could only temporarily collect their business cards for Eric to discuss partnerships later.
Lily called Eric: "Hey, did you fall into the toilet or something? A lot of people just came to ask about collaborations."
"I... my stomach isn't feeling well, that's why I was delayed. I'll be out in a bit."
After Eric hung up, he came out of the VIP room and glanced at the conference chairman: "For Maple Leaf Corporation's AI project going forward, Chairman, please help give that young lady a push."
"Don't worry, Mr. Murphy. She's already very talented on her own."
After Eric made the arrangements, he called Dennis: "It's all set up, but Lily is so talented, she could shine on her own."
"But I don't want her to work so hard."
Dennis was currently on a private jet. On his computer screen were photos of Lily attending today's event.
Dennis's phone chimed. He received a message from Lily sharing her good news.
His thin lips curved slightly as he replied warmly: [Congratulations.]
The assistant had never seen Dennis smile so gently. He respectfully reminded him: "Dennis, you've finally finished this business trip. Your grandmother and mother can barely keep covering for you anymore."
No one currently knew about Dennis's affairs in Imperial City.
Or that Dennis had stayed there so long for a girl.
If the Gonzalez family found out, there would be chaos - Dennis had a fiancée!
After replying to the message, Dennis put down his phone, his expression returning to normal: "I'll be home for dinner tonight."
On the other side, Lily received Dennis's reply - just a brief: [Congratulations.]
She couldn't help but sigh. This man really was as sparing with words as ever.
After the investment conference ended, Lily packed up her things to leave.
Michael and Austin walked over, both their expressions carrying hints of caution and flattery.
Michael said carefully: "Lily, you came to Empire City alone and don't know anyone here. School hasn't started yet, and it's not convenient for you to live alone. Why don't you stay with us?"
Austin quickly nodded: "Right, the Roberts family has a house in Empire City, too. We'll save the biggest room for you - Sophie won't even get a share."
In Empire City, without Sophie around, they could be good to Lily alone and make up for past wrongs.
"No need, I just bought a place in Empire City too.
Keep that big room for Sophie. After all, her father did the Roberts family a favor. Austin, you can't be so petty - what would people think of the Roberts family if word got out?"
Lily's face carried a mocking expression.
She was deliberately being sarcastic.
Her words made Austin lose his composure a bit: "Houses in Empire City are so expensive, how could you afford one yourself? Did that school doctor give you the money?"
"Watch your mouth. I earned this money myself. As a top streamer on Crayfish, the signing bonus alone was substantial. What's wrong with me buying a house?"
Lily's words immediately shut Austin up.
He had forgotten that Lily was now a major Crayfish streamer, and the game guides she wrote were being used by many professional teams.
Michael quickly explained, "Lily, Austin is just concerned about you, he didn't mean anything else."
"Stop right there. I don't want this kind of concern that's full of malicious speculation and slander. After leaving the Roberts family, I'll only get better and better!"
Lily grabbed her bag and left, not wanting to deal with the Roberts family.
Before, she had eagerly tried to build good relationships with her brothers and please them, but not one of them would even look at her properly.
Now that she was doing well and had actively cut ties, they were haunting her like ghosts.
The tables had really turned. Why had her head been so unclear in her past life?
Michael stepped forward to block Lily: "Lily, we finally get to meet, let's have a meal together?"
Lily frowned: "Move."
Austin's tone wasn't great: "Lily, is that how you talk to Michael? We've already humbled ourselves to you. What more do you want?"
