Chapter 59
Lily took a step back, her eyes narrowing into a thin line. Leaning against the wall, she looked at Yannick and said with indifference, “Your son wanted to kill my entire family.
Her tone was placid. However, her words ripped through Yannick like a thunderclap. He was instantly stunned.
Promptly, he shot up, slapped Jack’s face, and kicked his leg. “You absolute disgrace! How dare you joke about that? kill? Would you be able to pay the price for that?!
His kick was forceful With one of his legs disabled, Jack could hardly stand. When Yannick locked his other leg, Jack lost his balance and fell to the ground.
“Apologize to Ms. Brooks right now,” Yannick almost shouted that sentence.
He never imagined Jack would have the nerve to say that he wanted to kill Lily’s entire family. Despite his extreme anxiety, he attempted to maintain a calm demeanor.
Jack wanted to cry out in pain. When he lifted his head, he saw Yannick shooting daggers at him. He instantly knelt and prostrated himself before Lily. “I’m sorry, it was my shouldn’t have bulbed other students. I shouldn’t be arrogant and despotic. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me…”
His voice was very loud and reached the classrooms
That floor housed Class 15 through Class 18. Students in those classes were bad at studying. When they heard the commotion, they stuck their heads out to watch.
They were astounded by what they saw
“Woah! Jack is groveling in front of Lily!”
“Where? Where? Let me see.”

“It really is Jack. How is that possible? He’s such a prideful person. The transfer student paralyzed his leg, but instead of taking revenge, he’s kneeling before her? This is unreal.”
The students were in an uproar. They didn’t care if their classes were in session and rushed outside to watch.
The teachers were unable to keep them under control, so they eventually gave up and joined in to watch. Jack was famous at Ember Creek. The fact that he was on his knees before a girl made the teachers quite curious too.
More and more students gathered. However, Jack dared not even glance at them. He continued to grovel in front of Lily.
If this had happened in the past, he would have punished anyone who dared to watch. Nevertheless, he did not have the leisure to care about if others were watching. He had to save himself first.
“Ms. Brooks, I was responsible for everything. It has nothing to do with my family. I was merely joking back then too. I wouldn’t dare to take the lives of your entire family. Please have mercy and forgive me.
”
When Yannick saw Lily standing wordlessly with a devilish smile on her face, he was perplexed.
so, he knelt as well. “Ms. Brooks, my son has been spoiled by his mother. His actions have offended you. I apologize on behalf of him. Our family is willing to give you half of our assets as compensation”
At that, Lily’s eyes brightened. She straightened up and looked down at Yannick “What’s the value of half of the Dalton family’s assets?”
“Excluding real estate, eight billion dollars.”
Jack’s eyes widened. He was shocked that his father would give away eight billion dollars. While he was displeased, he didn’t dare to say anything.
With her arms folded, Lily gently patted one of her arms. After pondering for some time, she said unhurriedly, “It’s not enough.
Hearing that, Yannick instantly felt relieved. “Please name a price, Ms. Brooks. As long as I can afford it, I’ll gladly give it to you in fall.”
It was good that she would accept money. Yannick was afraid that she would refuse.
