"It's not a matter of kindness." Eric turned his head and looked into Lily's eyes. He gently touched her
face to avoid the wound and said, "I wish I could kick Frank out of the company immediately. It's not a
punishment for him if I don't. If possible, I really want to break the tendons of the hands and feet of him
just like the two men who attacked you and Anna last time in Nathan."
After saying that, Eric's eyes became sharp.
Speaking of this, Lily remembered that the two men had a miserable ending. Well, it seemed that Eric
was still irritable.
With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, she touched his hand and said gently, "Don't be angry.
Harry said that there would be no scars on my face."
"But I feel sorry for you." Eric's face was full of pity.
"Okay, I know." Said Lily in a low voice, and her eyes softened. "But we can't act rashly these days. You
also said that grandpa can't bear the stimulation, so we can only endure it. Besides, we can't hurt
people against the law. I don't want you to get involved in anything against the law."
Eric smiled, "I know, I will never do anything illegal."
Lily felt relieved.
Seeing what the two were doing and listening to the conversation between the two, Richard also
smiled. He really liked Lily more and more. She meant too much to Eric, and she was also teaching him
how to behave.
Besides, she was two years younger than Eric.
"Ahem..." With a dry cough, Richard stood up and said to the two, "I'll go to the company first."
Eric looked away from Lily and turned to his father. "Dad, remember what I said. It's the best time to
deprive Simon's power in the company."
"I see." Richard nodded.
"And..." Eric continued, "You just focus on the projects that Simon has. You will definitely succeed."
He said the last few words affirmatively.
"Okay," Said Richard with a smile
After Richard left, there were only two people left in the room, Lily and Eric.
"Eric, why don't you go to the company to help uncle?" Lily asked in confusion. Eric almost told all his
plans to Richard today, but he had no intention of going to the company at all.
Eric turned his head to look at her and said, "Dad has never fought for anything in his whole life. He is
not very tough in dealing with the company's affairs. Now it's a chance for him to exercise."
Hearing his explanation, Lily suddenly had a feeling that Eric was the real senior of Richard. As a son,
he was teaching his father and giving him a chance to exercise…
"I just think uncle will be very tired if he is busy alone."
Eric shook his head with a faint smile, "The Gu company will eventually be owned by him alone. It's
good for him to adapt to dealing with business alone now."
"What?" Lily frowned in confusion.
Seeing her like this, Eric said, "It's not that I'm unfilial. I'm worried about grandpa's current physical
condition. I don't know how many years he can live. After a hundred years, I will definitely kick Simon
and Frank out of the Gu company. And I have to take over my grandfather's business, and then I have
to create my own career. I have no time to care about the Gu company at all, so in the end, the Gu
company can only be taken over by my father."
It turned out that he had such a plan. Lily finally understood and nodded, "Yes."
"I'll call Noble first." Eric let go of Lily's hand, took his phone from the tea table, found out the number of
Noble and dialed it.
The phone rang for a long time, but it didn't answer for the first time, so it hung up naturally.
Eric frowned and looked at the screen, confused.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked, noticing his difference.
"He didn't answer the phone." Eric replied, "It's rare that he doesn't answer my phone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he dialed another number.
"Maybe he is busy now." Lily said casually.
"Maybe."
This time, the phone kept ringing. Just when Eric thought he was going to hang up naturally again, the
phone was connected.
"Anything else?" Noble's voice came from the phone.
"What happened to you?" Eric asked subconsciously. He could tell that there was a little impatience
and anger in his voice. As his cousin, he had known him for so many years, so he could naturally feel
his difference.
Hearing Eric's question, Lily also turned to look at him.
"It's not a big deal. If you don't have anything urgent, I'll hang up. You can call me later."
"Brother." Eric frowned and said, "I want to know what happened to you."
"Alas..." A helpless sigh came through from the phone. "Anna hit someone at school. I'm dealing with it
for her."
Eric was stunned for a while and then regained his composure, "You go to deal with her?"
"Well, if you don't have anything else to say, I have to hang up. I have a headache too."
"Wait… Where are you now? I'll come to you and tell you what happened here."
"I'm still at school."
After knowing what was going on with Noble, he hung up the phone. Then he turned to look at Lily and
said, "I'm going to the school to find my brother. You… Do you want to go?"
Seeing the wound on her face, he asked hesitantly.
"Who hit?" Instead of answering Eric's question, Lily asked him a question.
"Anna, brother seems to be helping her." Eric replied.
Lily raised her eyebrows, and then a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Yes, why not?"
Eric was confused why she smiled, but since she said she wanted to go, then let's go together.
The two of them soon went out and directly drove to the school. When they arrived at the school gate,
Eric called Noble again and asked where they were exactly. The answer was that the matter had been
settled and they were about to leave the school. Therefore, they agreed to meet at the school gate.
Therefore, the two of them didn't get out of the car and waited for him to come out.
About five minutes later, Noble, dressed in a well cut suit, walked out, followed by Anna, who was
lowering her head.
"Brother." Rolling down the window, Eric poked his head out and called out to him.
Following the sound, Noble saw him and said, "Go to the villa."
After saying that, he walked towards the direction of the parking lot. He didn't forget to urge Anna who
followed him. "Hurry up and follow."
"Okay." Anna nodded and followed him in a hurry. She didn't even dare to look up at Eric.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Lily didn't say anything. But she saw the interaction between Noble
and Anna, with a deep smile in her eyes.
Eric knew that the villa was his residence, so he rolled up the window, started the car and drove
towards the villa.
Of course, he didn't drive away quickly. Instead, he waited for the car of Noble to follow and then go
with them.
"I think he has the potential to be a father." Lily suddenly said in the car.
"What?" Eric didn't react for a moment and looked sideways at her.
"Don't you think their age gap is… A little cute?" She asked with a smile.
Eric suddenly smiled and then realized, "Yes, a little."
"I don't know why Anna fought with others. But judging from their performance when they came out of
school just now, it seems that… Brother is very unhappy."
"If I were him, I wouldn't be happy." Eric expressed his opinion, "Don't you see my brother's expression
when he came out? He is angry and helpless."
"Well, I didn't notice it, but… I think there are still a few years left before he gets married."
Eric just smiled and said nothing, because what she said was right.
If he had to wait until the legal age of Anna's marriage, according to the possessive character of Noble,
he had been worried about her in the past few years.
Half an hour later, the two cars stopped steadily in the parking lot of the villa.
Eric and Lily got out of the car almost at the same time, and the atmosphere between Noble and Anna
was a little strange.
Noble got off the car first, and Anna sat in the car, not knowing whether she didn't want to get off or she
didn't dare.
Instead of urging her, Noble leaned against the car and waited quietly. On the surface, his expression
seemed to be normal, but his tightly closed thin lips and dark eyes showed that he was in a very bad
mood.
Eric and Lily looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
"Go and have a look." Lily whispered.
"Okay." Eric nodded.
As soon as they came to them and stood still, they heard what Noble said. "I'll give you three more
seconds to think about it. If you don't get out of the car now, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Hearing this, Eric and Lily were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other again. What Anna
had done today seemed to make their brother very unhappy.
"One..." He began to count, but the people in the car didn't respond.
"Two..." The people in the car still didn't respond.
"Three..."
"I'll get off the car!"
Before the third sound could be heard, Anna said in a hurry. Then she opened the door and got out of
the car. She walked to the front of Noble, lowered her head and twisted her hands uneasily.
His dark eyes stared at her for a long time before he said, "Let's go inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the gate of the villa first.
