After Alfred left the room, Lilia shot a knife-sharp gaze at her brother.
"Daniel Pangestu. Explain what happened." She didn't bother hiding the anger in her voice.
"Sis, at that time we were both drunk! I don't really remember what happened, and it looks like we did sleep together, but I didn't force her! I know she likes me, that's why we did that! Otherwise, she won't go out drinking with me at night! Trust me!" Daniel explained at length with a passion.
Lilia patiently waited for Daniel to finish before smiling sarcastically, "In short, that girl is really pregnant because of you?"
"Well ..." Daniel hesitated for a moment, "I know she is pregnant. But Sis, I don't think it's my son. This isn't her first time having sex, and I heard she's dating several guys at once. Plus, the gestational age didn't match."
The longer Lilia listened to Daniel's words, the more her irritation grew. Since when did her younger brother become this stupid?
"Then? You already know that she is lying and you still give her your credit card?" Lilia asked coldly.
"G-Gone, when she said she was pregnant, I panicked! She promised not to tell anyone as long as I paid for her abortion, so I gave her my card. I didn't know that her parents would come to campus and cause trouble. Sis, I didn't mean… " Daniel lowered his head and couldn't continue his words.
Lilia sighed, "Did mom and dad know about this?" Lilia asked again.
Daniel shook his head with a grim expression, "Not. I don't dare to tell them. Father will kill me if he finds out! Actually, if you didn't meet Mr. Alfred today, I wouldn't tell you either."
'This kid really…!' Lilia gave Daniel a murderous look. Luckily, Alfred came back before Lilia did something she would regret to her brother.
The young lecturer took turns looking at Lilia and Daniel, "Miss Lilia, how are you going to solve this problem?" He asked politely.
Lilia turned to Alfred, "Do you have any suggestion for us?"
Alfred gave the glass of water he brought to Daniel before responding, "If Miss Lilia doesn't want news about this case to spread, how about you try to negotiate with the student's family? If this case can be resolved properly, I'm sure the campus will not make an issue."
Alfred sat back in his chair, joining his hands together.
"However, Daniel will be representing the university in a basketball game in two weeks. The university certainly doesn't want to lose the basketball team captain at a time like this."
Lilia nodded. She also came up with the same idea, but she needed cooperation from the campus for her plan to work. With this, Alfred had given Lilia the answer she needed.
"That is a good idea. Can Mr. Alfred help me contact the student's parents?" Lilia asked with a confident expression.
Alfred studied Lilia's face and smiled faintly, "Looks like Miss Lilia already has a solution to this problem."
Lilia smiled too. She looked like a predator ready to pounce on its prey, "Precisely. Since this is a sensitive issue, we need an honest and fair third party to be neutral in the negotiation process. Are you willing to fill that position?"
Alfred was secretly amazed by Lilia's calm attitude. He had never met such a tough and independent young woman as the woman before him, "Okay, I'll contact the victim's family and arrange a meeting time. Can I have Miss Lilia's phone number to give updates?"
After Lilia gave Alfred her number, she said goodbye to the man and left the room with Daniel. Lilia walked towards the campus gate to go home and rest. Her younger brother trailed behind her like a dog that just got scolded by its master.
"Um ... sis ... about the money..." Daniel tried to get Lilia to talk, but his big sister ignored him and hailed a taxi. Before entering, she threw one of her credit cards at Daniel.
"…Don't make trouble anymore.." Lilia said coldly.
