Chapter 163 – The Child’s Stay and Fall
“So let go and do what you want to do! Whatever you want to do, Dad supports you unconditionally!” My dad sat there, relaxed and steady as a mountain.
“Dad! So what do you want to do with Hilda?”, I asked, after all, that was my biggest worry & unease.
“Keep it for now! She’s still useful and is the best conduit for messages with Robert!” Dad’s words made me understand his intention at once. Indeed, there were some messages that would only work if she delivered them.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“But you must be careful and careful again, I’m afraid they will do something bad to you guys.” I voiced my fears, Robert was able to get Sherry to drug me, so he’d be even more relentless with my parents.
Dad heard another layer of meaning in my words and looked at me and pressed, “Tell me, what’s going on with your illness?”
I smiled bitterly and took a sip of tea to steady myself before I truthfully told my dad how I found out I was sick.
My father’s hands were shaking with anger, and it was only after a long time that he spoke, “If my daughter doesn’t die, she’ll be blessed! I won’t let this bastard get away with this!”
“So, I was afraid that she would go after you guys, after all, the bad things they do are bottomless, and since they were able to send this woman to your side, they didn’t have any good intentions. We have to be on guard?” I still have my heart set on this Hilda.
“You don’t have to worry about that, it’s a simple matter to want to resign her! Since she’s here, let her play some role before she leaves!” My dad said in a stern tone.
“We have to take some precautions!” I looked over at Dad with some concern.
My dad laughed, “Blake also mentioned once to use some means to spy on her, but not yet, Robert won’t make a move before he gets a feel for my intentions and how much power I really have, not to mention how much financial power we still have!”
“That’s something I’ve thought about, but having a puppet around always makes people uncomfortable inside!”
“When she strikes, that’s when she goes to prison! Just relax!” My dad’s tone was quite decisive.
I looked to my dad there and said, “Dad, I want to leave Oliver with you and mom, one is the convenience of education, on the other hand, this kid is exceptionally understanding, I feel more at ease with him with you guys, and on the other hand is that I really don’t have the time to take care of him, we’ll make a plan when it’s all over!”
“Where’s Lilly?” My dad opened his mouth to ask me.
“Lilly …” I mused, “She’s not very manageable, plus she goes to a boarding school, it won’t affect anything.” This is what I really think, Lilly being at school saves me a lot of heartache.
My dad nodded, “the worse the control, the more you can not let it go, I also observed, this child inherited more of his family’s genes, you can not just let it go. There is another point, to prevent Robert from jumping over the wall, when the time comes to use her to blackmail you, don’t leave a problem. Leave it all!”
I mentally roiled, my dad was right, Lilly did inherit stronger genes from his family.
There were times when that personality was really somewhat similar to that aunt of hers, Emma.
But, what my dad thinks is definitely possible, and when push comes to shove, Robert could definitely do something to use Lilly to blackmail me.
Seeing that I didn’t respond, my dad continued to instruct, “I’m safe here, Charles is a little young to be away from you, take her with you, Edith is okay, be nice please!”
“I’ll have to talk to Lilly first then, she’s a bit of a rebel!” I was a little worried that she wouldn’t agree, and even more so that she would worry the two old men in case she stayed.
“Don’t worry! I have a way of converting her!” My dad said with confidence.
Just then my cell phone rang, I took it out and looked at the screen, it was a number with no name noted, but the number I remembered, it was Amelia’s.
