Chapter 185
Loid’s kiss was passionate and a little domineering.
Lily’s body stiffened, and her face was flushed. She could also feel her heart pounding.
There was a hint of tobacco in his mouth. He also started breathing heavily as Lily responded to his kiss, albeit a little awkwardly.
Suddenly, his hand reached under her shirt, and her skin grew hot from his touch. She froze in shock and even stopped breathing as she stared intensely at Loid.
It was like Lily had a magical allure. Loid went into a trance as soon as their lips touched. He could no longer control himself, and his kiss became more forceful.
His hands slowly reached for the hem of her shirt and pulled it up, exposing her bare skin. His mind went blank. There was only one thought going through his head.
He wanted her. He wanted her to be completely his.
The doorbell suddenly rang as he was about to take things further.
He stopped what he was doing while his breathing was labored. He looked at Lily and lamented his lack of self–control.
He gave her a peck on her lips and said hoarsely, “You’re too young. You have to grow up faster.”
He adjusted his clothes and went to open the door, but he still felt hot and bothered.
Lily cleared her throat and put her shirt back on properly. She leaned back on the couch. Her face was still bright red.
Liam walked into the room. He immediately noticed that Lily had her head lowered with an awkward expression. The atmosphere in the room was a little strange.
Lily patted her burning cheeks and tried to regain her composure.
After a while, she raised her head to look at Liam and greeted him, “Hi, Mr. Martinez.”
Liam didn’t expect Lily to be so polite and was a little shocked. He smiled awkwardly and said, “I’ve come to pay you a visit.”
Lily nodded. “Please sit.”
Loid went to the kitchen to get two glasses of water for Liam and Lily.
Liam was shocked by his hospitality. Meanwhile, Lily took her glass very naturally. Her fingers reflexively shrunk back when she touched his hand.
Liam took a sip of the water. Then, he looked at Lily hesitantly and said, “Lily, I apologize for what happened at the banquet in Shannon’s stead.
“I failed to educate her properly. I know I do not have the right to ask you to forgive her. I’ve sent her away from Lagersfield. Can… Can you please let her off the hook, for
Lily raised her head and smiled. “Sure.”
Liam didn’t expect her to agree to his request so easily. He looked at her in surprise. “Are you really willing to forgive her?”
“Mr. Martinez, you’re the only person I respect in the Martinez family. You’re a good man. Your son is a good person, too.
“The Martinez family shouldn’t be controlled by your mother. Your family will definitely flourish if you’re at the helm.”
my
sake?”
Liam smiled bitterly. “I’m a failure of a father. I raised a good son, but I spoiled my daughter. I’m not happy about the family’s current state. If Jason were still alive, he wouldn’t want to see the family he tried so hard to support in shambles.”
He sighed and continued, “But I have no choice. My mother has always been the head of the family. She also favors my brother more. He’ll probably be the next head of the family. When that happens, the Martinez family will probably go bankrupt really quickly.”
If Loid was willing to offer an investment, the Martinez family could hold on for a little longer, but he had already withdrawn his investment.
With what happened at the banquet, it would be very hard for the Martinez family to find another investor.
Julia was bedridden because of Shannon’s antics. The company was completely in Lionel’s control. Liam knew Lionel all too well. The company probably wouldn’t last two months.
Loid lazily leaned back on the couch and placed Lily’s hand on his thigh. He glanced at Loid but didn’t say anything.
Lily took a sip of her water and said slowly, “I’ve already transferred the 20 percent shares given to me by the Martinez family to you.”
Liam looked at her in shock. “Why… would you do that?”
He had only known Lily for a few days. He thought she was a cold person with a bad temper because she was abandoned by her mother at a young age.
She probably came to the Martinez family filled with hatred in her heart, Also, she never got along with Susan or anyone in the Martinez family. It was clear she didn’t like the Martinez family.
So, when he got here to plead for Shannon, he thought Lily would make things difficult for him.
But she was extremely easygoing and even gave the 20 percent shares she took from the Martinez family back to him.
All of a sudden, he didn’t understand what Lily was thinking.
Lily looked at him and pursed her lips. Then, she stood up and said, Let me take you to a place.”
