Thinking about his scandal with her, Odell picked up the phone.
Lily immediately asked, “Master Carter, did you see the online article?”
She sounded anxious. Odell replied, “Yeah. I’ve asked Cliff to handle it. The news will be taken down
by tonight.” “I’m also handling it on my side, but I did not expect my family to see it,” Lily said glumly.
Since it had happened because of him, Odell asked, “Do you need me to personally explain the
situation to them?” “No. I’ve tried explaining it, but my grandfather is quite stubborn in his old age and
has refused to listen to me,” She sighed as she said this. “It’s okay. I’ll think of something and not
disturb your rest.” Odell agreed.
Two days later, at the Carter Tower.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOdell sat behind his desk as usual as he went through some documents.
Suddenly, someone knocked on his door.
“Come in,” He said.
Cliff pushed the door open as he walked in and said respectfully , “Master Carter , Miss Springsteen is
here. She said that she has to see you about an urgent matter.”
An urgent matter?
Odell frowned. “Let her in.”
“Yes.”
He continued reading the document.
When the door opened again and Lily came in, Odell put
aside the document in his hand.
His indifferent gaze swept over her. “Please have a seat.”
“Thank you.” Lily smiled at him, but it was clear that something was on her mind. She sat on the couch
that was nearby and said, “Master Carter, I didn’t mean to disturb you, but I have no other choice.”
Odell said, “Please get straight to the point.”
“Okay.” Lily sucked in a deep breath. Her exquisite little face faced him and said, “Let’s get engaged.”
Odell’s brows furrowed. He said in a deep voice, “Miss Springsteen, are you joking with me?”
Lily did not back down from his intimidating gaze and replied, “Master Carter, I’m serious this time. I
want you to get engaged with me.” “I do not plan to remarry.” “I know, but I have no other choice.” Lily
sighed and said, “Do you remember our scandal a few days ago on the Internet?”
“Nothing remains on the Internet now.”
“But my grandfather, as well as some of my relatives, still remember it. They think something happened
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbetween us that night in Lush Heaven, especially my grandfather. You know him. He is conservative
and stubborn and refuses to listen to my explanation. He thinks that I’ve been fooling around outside
and fainted in anger yesterday. He even refused to meet me today. If we do not have an official
relationship, I’m afraid he won’t meet me until he’s on his deathbed.”
Odell was silent for a while. “I can explain it to him.” “It’s useless. Grandfather has shut himself in his
room and refused to see anyone, even my grandmother. I believe he’ll only meet with you if we get
engaged and you ask to see him as my fiance.” Odell frowned deeply.
Master Springsteen was indeed stubborn and conservative, but he did not plan to ever remarry.
Once he was engaged to Lily, marriage would then soon be next on their agenda.
Although Odell had no feelings for her, he was aware of her feelings for him. It was just that he did not
want to bother with it.
Moreover, Madam Springsteen and his Grand-aunt Ramona had always tried to set them up anyway.
However, he was indeed the cause of this scandal.
“Master Carter, do you remember that on that morning two days ago, at Lush Heaven, you personally
granted me a request?” Lily suddenly said.
