Chapter 230 - Lily's punishment

Lily who was getting bored and uneasy can't help but slightly open the door of her bedroom. She didn't peak or dare to listen to what Lance and her brother was talking. She just put her mouth in the small opening of the door to make sure that her brother would hear her.

"Um... brother... are you done yet? My sister-in-law is kinda sleepy and she looks tired. Don't you think it's time for you guys to go home and rest. If mom found out that you are keeping my sister-in-law awake until dawn, she would nag at you. You know how she is when it comes to sister-in-law, especially now that she wants the two of you to have a baby, keeping her awake late is not good for her body. Mom said that in order to boost her fertility she should have enough rest. Have you forgotten?"

J was flabbergasted. What the heck is she talking about? She pinches the area between her brows. Lily, if you want to live a long life you should pretend to be dumb.

Upon hearing Lily's words, Jacob's temper became worst. How dare she use Jenny just to escape her death?

"What? You... you guys are trying to... baby?" Lance was surprised. Jacob gave him a deathly glare which made him gulp and tensed up.

"Come out there." Jacob said in a cold tone that made the whole room's temperature dropped to several degrees.

Lily's whole body trembled. Oh no... did I made it worse? She steps out of the room stiffly. She was followed by J.

"From now on, you'll be staying at my house." Jacob said in a callous tone.

"What?!" Lily exclaimed belligerently. "No! You can't do this to me! Brother, please..."

"One... you get drunk in a club... " Jacob started counting in his fingers assertively without looking at Lily. "Two... you drink with a male investor." He then turned to look at Lily with a smirk. "You deliberately violated two of the rules that I gave you before entering the entertainment industry."

Lily started to panic. "But... but... I didn't intentionally get drunk. I came with my friends. I just met Mr. Kho at the club. I didn't go there with him. I swear!"

"Still... you get drunk with a male investor." Jacob stood up and seemed to be ending this conversation. "If you don't want to stay with me and your sister-in-law. Either you stay at the Parker's Mansion or retire from the entertainment industry. Up to you." Jacob said plainly then walked towards J.

He strokes J's hair affectionately while staring at her face. Lily was right, she seemed sleepy and tired. He felt guilty. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lead her out of Lily's apartment. "Let's go home."

"I'll see you at the headquarters tomorrow. Don't get followed." Jacob said to Lance as he passed him.

Lily weighed the options that Jacob gave her. She definitely can't just leave the entertainment industry. However, if she chose to stay at the Parker's Mansion, her mom will never give her peace. But if she chose to stay at Evergreen Villa, at most, she will be seeing her brother at night since he works all day at the hospital and she will be having more time to spend with her sister-in-law.

She dropped her shoulder in defeat. "Wait! I'm coming with you!" Then everyone left Lily's apartment.
