Callix Linton’s voice suddenly ca through the phone. Whether it was Sophia Wood at the courtyard gate or Lily Turner in the room, both were startled.
Lily was taken aback and hung up the phone. Without worrying if she was still in her pajamas, she hurriedly left the room and rushed downstairs.
"Grandpa! You..."
"Girl! This is your ho. How can you let your mom and sister stay outside when they’re here?"
Before Lily could even finish her sentence, Callix Linton cut her off. Seeing her running down in pajamas, he knew she had just woken up and was startled by his words.
As Callix spoke, Lily looked around, not seeing anyone else, she got anxious, "Grandpa! Have you already sent soone out to pick them up?"
If her mom ca and made a scene, how could her aged grandfather handle such a noisy situation?
"Yes! I asked Lucas Zimrman to drive out to pick them up."
Before Lily ca downstairs, Callix had already instructed his guard Lucas to drive out.
The speed and the situation made Lily anxious. She turned to chase after them but realized she was still in her pajamas after taking just a step.
She stomped her foot in urgency, turned back around, walked to the phone, and imdiately dialed her sister, Alice Turner’s, number.
"Hello!"
The call was picked up just after one ring.
"Sis! Please take mom back. I’ll contact you later." Lily didn’t care if Callix was sitting beside her; she anxiously urged Alice to take Sophia back, her whole deanor looking more worried.
Upon hearing this, Callix reached out to take the phone from her, quickly putting it to his ear. As soon as he did so, Alice’s voice ca through, "Mom really has sothing urgent to discuss, not here to cause trouble. Please trust ."
Callix knew nothing of what transpired between Sophia and Lily. He hadn’t heard anything about the events of last night.
Now, hearing Alice’s words, he felt nothing but surprise and confusion, but he didn’t show it. His expression remained unchanged.
"You must be Lily’s sister? I’m Easton’s grandfather, I..."
"Oh?! Grandpa! Hello!"
Hearing a voice that wasn’t her sister Lily’s, Alice was a bit surprised. Before Callix could finish speaking, she exclaid.
Compared to Alice’s amazent over the phone, Callix remained very calm, with no change in expression.
"Hello! I’ve already sent soone to pick you up. You should be here soon. Whatever it is, let’s discuss it at ho. It’s not clear over the phone." After Callix finished speaking, he looked over at Lily standing nearby. He didn’t return the phone to her, nor did he hang up, or even cover the receiver, "Your mom and sister will be here soon. Do you intend to et them like this?"
As Callix spoke, he glanced up and down at Lily, who was in pajamas with ssy hair, his face clearly showing disapproval.
Upon hearing Callix’s reminder, Lily instinctively looked down at her pajamas, then looked back at him. She hesitated for a mont before finally turning away from the living room to go back upstairs to change.
