Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 342

For a moment, the living room became deathly silent. Everyone was too stunned to speak.

Hayden's actions had angered Francis, sending him into a fit of rage.

"Alright, leave this to me! I'll go talk to him and give him a reality check!" Lily said smugly, seemingly eager to meet Hayden and humiliate him.

Charlotte, Julia, and Anna seemed to have something to say but kept it to themselves. Their expressions earlier had already roused Francis' suspicions.

"Okay, you'll go deliver the message!" Francis said before leaving.

"Lily, I'll go with you tomorrow. I'm worried that Hayden might bully you if he gets angry. I'll be there to protect you. Is that alright?" Morgan asked with a concerned look, watching Lily intently.

"Okay!" Lily nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"By the way, I bought another massage stick. Would you like to give it a try? I promise it'll be very comfortable this time!" Morgan said excitedly, his eyes on Lily.

"That's… fine!"

Having had a massage in his room before, Lily wasn't wary of Morgan. So, she nodded and followed him upstairs.

Only Charlotte, Anna, and Julia were left in the living room. The three of them wore grave expressions as they looked at each other. They were more worried about Hayden's safety.

"Let's go." Charlotte signaled them with one look, then led the two outside.

She only did it to prepare a safety net for themselves. However, the thought of the imminent division of the Sterlings caused Julia to feel a pang of pain in her heart.

It was the family she had grown up with! It was everyone's dream to have a harmonious family, not a broken one.

"Alright. We'll wait another week. Plus, it's about time for the new semester. I wonder if Francis will be going to the capital. Whatever it is, we need to be prepared to avoid getting caught in his schemes," Charlotte said solemnly.

That was her top concern.

Francis had betrayed her. If she didn't prepare a trump card against him, it would lead to her complete, utter defeat.

Since a confrontation was inevitable, it was better to prepare!
