Lilia was still thinking for a moment, but Jean's cell phone suddenly rang next to her.
He glanced at the caller ID, his pupils shrank slightly, and his tone was weak when he connected. "What is it?"
"Has he contacted you recently?"
On the phone, the other party's low and unpleasant voice showed obvious exhaustion.
Hearing this, the man's thin lips slightly parted, and he handed his phone to Lilia.
"Looking for me?" She was suspicious and when she looked at the phone, her eyes were bright. Then, when she put it to her ear, she said with a smile. "Hello brother-in-law!"
The caller was Leonard!
It had been a long time since she had heard from him!
Unexpectedly, that man is still in touch with her husband..
Leonard felt comfortable when he heard Lilia's words earlier.
He coughed, lowered his voice, and repeated, "Has Mellisa contacted you recently?"
Lilia and the man looked at each other for a moment, and then answered honestly, "We text every now and then, what's wrong?"
Leonard closed his eyes and took a deep breath, 'You damn woman!'
"Give the phone to Jean!"
Leonard sounded angry.
Lilia felt that the matter was unclear, so she handed the phone back to Jean, and then quietly leaned closer to his ear, hearing Leonard's nagging.
He said, "Did you really reveal my information to Mellisa?"
Jean raised an eyebrow, as if not in a hurry. "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate!"
Leonard. "..."
If he could do this, would he still be cooped up in his family's house?!
On that day, he asked Jean to reveal his condition on purpose, he even asked him to describe his situation as being in a tragic prison.
He worked very hard, and the result ... Mellisa was not moving at all!
That woman was just too apathetic!
Even if she heard about his house arrest by his family and got caught up in the battle between the heirs, what did she do?! Did she really not care about him?
At this time, Leonard choked on Jean's words.
He licked his lips and twisted his eyebrows. "Of course I believe you. Since she's related to Lilia, may I ask you a favor?"
"Of course!" Jean didn't refuse Leonard's request.
On the other end of the phone, Leonard thought for a moment and decided to take the next strong medicine. "Please find a way to let Melisa know that I'm getting married!"
Lilia who heard this sentence was shocked in disbelief. The future brother-in-law… would get married?
How come?!
When the man heard his words, he also asked meaningfully, "Are you sure?"
Leonard hummed. "That's not a rumor anymore, it's a fact!"
He was indeed getting married, it was just… that was a plan!
Jean's eyes reached far, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Leonard sighed sadly. "Jean, thank you."
Lilia saw the look in the man's eyes. She doubted that if Mellisa found out about the news, she was actually worried that it would drive her further away from Leonard!
However, her last contact with Mellisa was a few days after Ricardo's family party ended.
She only asked about her current situation and confirmed that she was fine, but there was no response from her sister yet.
Lilia's eyes rolled, and she was very confused. "Will it be of any use? Since he can't forget Mellisa, why can't he find her himself?"
The man put his cell phone back in his trouser pocket, looked at her, and told the truth. "He really can't get out, but he wouldn't have picked a bad idea if he had a path."
Lilia nodded sympathetically. This was indeed a bad idea. "If this news reached Mellisa's ears, it would only make her want to hide even more!"
When the man looked at Lilia, he looked contemplatively, and his brows were indifferent. "So, what are you going to do?"
Lilia's eyes looked troubled. "I haven't thought about it, but since this is Leonard's request, we have to help him!"
After speaking, she paused for a moment. "Okay, I'll call sis Mellisa later, I'll try to persuade her first, and if that doesn't work, you can carry out the plan right after!"
The man voiced his agreement. "Okay!"
Hearing his voice, Lilia looked at him with a smile, and her clear pupils shone with light.
...
At 9:30 am, Lilia had finally arrived at the lobby of Lilia Studio.
She took the elevator, and when the door opened, she saw a red carpet stretched across the corridor, and both sides of the aisle were filled with baskets of flowers to congratulate her.
"Madame!" Lilia stepped out of the elevator, and Dina was already walking from the door of the studio.
Seeing Dina, she was surprised. "Why are you here?"
She's been living in the Widjaya family's house lately, but it's been a while since she saw Dina and Rini.
Dina nodded and explained. "Young master let me guard this place!"
Lilia seemed to be nodding. When she looked away, she saw Harold in a suit standing in front of Ludwig Technology's front desk and staring at her.
He had also become an invited guest, with a corsage on the chest of his suit.
"Finally, you came!" Harold stuffed one hand into his pocket, joking with Lilia as he came over to her.
He laughed and walked towards her. "Looks like they invited you to Ludwig Technology's opening ceremony too?"
Harold looked down at his suit, and reached out his hand to brush the corsage on his coat."I will be their neighbor in the future, of course I am invited!"
Lilia raised an eyebrow, stood at the door and looked at the Ludwig Technology front desk. "Are there many people here today?"
"Don't know!" Harold shook his head. "But earlier, some property staff came to congratulate them. I heard that several partners have signed deals."
After saying that, he looked at Lilia and said, "You… came here empty-handed?"
"How could I!" Lilia looked at him blankly. "My gift should have been delivered!"
Harold shouted and glanced towards the opposite side inadvertently.
He was worried that Seventeen wouldn't have time to prepare gifts, so he specifically chose one for him and planned to give it to Ludwig Technology.
The present he had prepared was at the studio's front desk at the moment, but now that he heard that Lilia had prepared it, it... had no meaning anymore.
"Let's go, come in and have a look." Harold said, then Lilia followed him into Ludwig Technology.
On the logo in front of the office is the red silk material used for the opening. As they approach the office area, they hear chatter and laughter from time to time.
Currently, Vivi was talking to several people in suits, looking like bosses as they stood near the champagne table.
She blinked, and when she saw Lilia, she couldn't hold back her excitement. "Lilia, you came!"
She then nodded apologetically to the guests, and came to meet Lilia.
"Vivi, congratulations!"
Lilia watched the layout of the office area as she congratulated her.
The staff table is full of various buffet cakes and champagne towers.
Although simple, they can still show the importance of the opening ceremony.
"Miss Lilia!" From behind them, Ludwig walked in in full costume.
He wore a light gray suit and elegant silver-rimmed glasses, which further accentuated his gentle temperament.
Lilia nodded to him in response. "Good morning."
"Lilia, I've received a bamboo tree from you! Isn't it too expensive?!"
