Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Harboring Evil Intentions
James Armstrong’s current expression seemed as though he wanted to devour Lily Armstrong.
"How can you still have the face to speak? Are you aware of the good things you’ve done yourself?
On the very first day the resort opened, you embarrassed everyone by scheming against others in the hotel, causing the entire resort to be implicated.
Now everyone outside is mocking me, saying James Armstrong raised a great daughter who uses her position to manipulate and defame others in her own hotel."
Lily Armstrong bit her lower lip fiercely.
Emilia Woods could barely keep the smile out of her eyes.
Normally, James Armstrong takes great pride in Lily, and with the old man always protecting her, she’s been opposing Emilia constantly. Since her mother’s passing, Emilia moved in for so many years without securing a title, and her daughter still bears the status of an illegitimate child.
Now that Lily Armstrong has made a mistake, Emilia naturally wants to seize the opportunity to stomp her down harshly.
"Exactly, Lily, you’ve made such a mess of things. Do you know how much your father’s lost because of you?"
Lily Armstrong clenched her fists tightly, glaring angrily at Emilia Woods.
James Armstrong still pointed at her nose and scolded, "Treating everyone like fools day in and day out, arranging numerous journalists, deliberately letting them into the hotel, thinking you’re smart, and in the end, failing to harm others, leaving yourself in a sorry state. That’s the definition of failing and losing!"
Last night, James Armstrong received a call from Wyatt Lewis, thinking it was a misunderstanding, not realizing his dear daughter had created such a massive blunder.
Now, the internet is full of negative news about the resort, with people mocking and sneering, utterly disgraceful.
The resort is a billion-dollar investment, and now it’s in such a state. How is he supposed to explain it to the shareholders? noveldrama
Lily Armstrong gritted her teeth, unwilling to show any sign of weakness even when scolded, for fear of being ridiculed by these two vile women.
Emilia Woods advised from the side, "James, don’t be angry. I believe Lily should personally admit it’s her personal fault, clearing the hotel’s responsibility and minimizing the loss."
James Armstrong’s eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly agreeing with Emilia’s suggestion.
Rose Armstrong also chimed in, "Yes, Dad, let Sister apologize, or else the resort will face massive losses."
Lily Armstrong’s heart sank heavily, "Dad, give me five days, I will definitely handle this matter."
Rose Armstrong pursed her lips, looking at Lily Armstrong, "Sister, in five days, how much worse will things ferment? Do you really want to ruin Dad’s hard work?"
Lily Armstrong looked at this vile person constantly adding fuel to the fire beside her, so angry she wished she could strangle her.
Fearing James Armstrong might truly heed their words, Lily Armstrong immediately stated, "Dad... this was my oversight, but for so many years, I’ve never made any big mistakes in other matters, nor have I ever disgraced you, just this once. Dad, I beg you, trust me this time. I absolutely won’t make another mistake, and haven’t you always wanted me to marry into the Knox Family? Trust me, I will make it happen."
James Armstrong narrowed his eyes, remaining silent for a moment.
Lily Armstrong saw his hesitation and wanted to speak further, but Rose Armstrong spoke first, "Dad, Sister’s mistake this time is no small matter, she nearly offended the Lewis Family. Without a public apology, it might not be easy to calm the situation..."
"Enough." James Armstrong raised his hand, feeling annoyed and uninterested in hearing their scheming, "Stop it, five days is too long, I’m only giving you three days. In three days, everything online must be resolved, or any losses can be offset with the shares your mother left you."
Lily Armstrong pressed her lips tightly, looking at James Armstrong, she could only stiffen her resolve and agree, "Okay."
This time she absolutely won’t make another mistake.
Emilia Woods still wanted to say something, but James Armstrong waved his hand impatiently, "It’s settled."
Lily Armstrong looked at them, silently heading upstairs.
No matter what, she must not fail this time.
If she can marry Alexander Knox and become the future mistress of the Knox Family, James Armstrong will value her more, and she won’t be trampled underfoot by these two women.
Emilia Woods exchanged a meaningful look with Rose Armstrong, who nodded knowingly, "Dad, I’ll go check on Sister."
Lily Armstrong returned to her room, took out the video on her phone, transferred it to her computer, and watched it coldly, snorting unconsciously.
She couldn’t believe that Aria Richardson wouldn’t end up disgraced this time, and Alexander Knox wouldn’t break off the engagement with her after seeing this video.
Just as Lily Armstrong watched the video coldly, Rose Armstrong suddenly walked in, "Sister..."
Lily Armstrong hurriedly closed the computer, seeing this, Rose raised her eyebrows and, holding a plate of fruit, walked over and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Lily Armstrong looked at her disdainfully, "Is it any of your business?"
Rose Armstrong’s gaze fell on the closed laptop, feeling the contents inside must be extraordinary to make Lily Armstrong so nervous.
Lily Armstrong frowned, rebuking her irritably, "Get out."
Even with Rose Armstrong’s gentle demeanor, as if she had no temper, she put down the fruit plate, saying softly, "Then Sister, you eat some fruit, I’ll leave first."
Lily Armstrong ignored her.
Rose Armstrong went downstairs, immediately pulled aside by Emilia Woods to inquire, "How did it go?"
Rose Armstrong whispered, "She seems to have some video stored on her computer, I only caught a glimpse, the video’s content seemed to be in a hotel room, she was very nervous and chased me out. Mom, what do you think she’s up to?"
Emilia Woods sneered, "If she dares to be so assertive in front of your dad, it means she has a solution. Whatever she’s planning to do, we can’t let her succeed. It’s rare for her to make a mistake, not easy for us to catch her once, we can’t let her recover this easily. Sophie, our good days in this house are coming."
