Chapter 652
Alexander was at a loss at her silence, "Did my words make you unhappy?"
"Why do you say so?"
Lily hugged his waist and pressed her face to his chest, "Thank you."
Then she said, "Thank you for appearing in my life.Thank you for protecting me, pampering me, and
walking with me all the way.Thank you for always having my back without hesitation and always
fighting by my side."
"Silly!"
Gently rubbing her head, Alexander hugged her back, "They don't want to let the news get out, and
they’re afraid that the police’s intervention will complicate things.They won’t be able to control it well."
"Lf the police got involved and the son truly murdered his father, this news would be enough to make
the Lodge family lose their reputation,"
Lily smiled bitterly, "That’s why Justin also decided against calling the police."
"What about you?"
He lowered his head and asked, "The public only knows the news of your grandfather's death.The
inside story is neither known nor reported.You don't plan on calling the police, do you?"
"I can't help thinking about the ramifications of this incident.Everything in the Lodge family is my
grandfather's hard work.I won't let it go to waste, but I also won't let go of the person who harmed him!"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Like he put it, the Lodge family has their own rules, and we have our own in our family.I'll wait and see
what tricks Henry has!"
Arianna came home from a tiring day at the company, and Joseph was there as soon as she entered
the door.
They had not seen each other for a long time.
"Hi, Dad,"she smiled and said affectionately, "Why are you back so early today?"
However, Joseph did not return a loving smile to her as usual, instead looked very unhappy, "Arianna,
come here!"
After being stunned for a while, Arianna immediately guessed what it was about.
She still walked over with a smile, ''Dad, you don't look very happy.What's wrong? Did something
happen?"
"Your brother went to see you today, didn't he?"
Joseph cut to the chase.
She could no longer feign ignorance and nodded, "Yeah! He said he wanted to be in charge of the new
project.I told him I had no say in the matter.He got angry and insisted on seeing you.Why? Did he really
go and find you?"
"Damian wants to make progress and make some achievements, which is also good.As his sister, you
should help and encourage him to do so.How could you bring him down like that?"
Giving her a cold stare, Joseph said displeasedly, "Besides, you were the one who proposed the new
project department.Why can’t you make the decision?"
It was still Arianna who got blamed.However, she showed no anger and sat beside him, taking his
hand.
"Dad, you can't blame me for this.I could’ve gone to Uncle Derrick to assist with the favor.
However, this requires a meeting with the other department leads, and Uncle Derrick hasn’t been in the
company lately.
“it's not like you don’t know about the people in the company..."
"Your uncle hasn't returned yet?"
Joseph interrupted her.
