"It's all because of you! If you hadn't spoiled Vivian, would she have done something that hurt Young Master Firth and Nan?"
Samuel said angrily while kicking Lily.
Lily never expected that Samuel would actually hit her in front of Charlie and Nancy. Caught off guard, she was kicked to the ground by Samuel's kick.
Daniel took two steps to the side and watched coldly as Samuel kicked Lily.
After kicking her, Samuel grabbed Lily's hair with one hand and slapped her face with the other.
With a crisp sound, Lily's cheek swelled visibly...
Nancy, who had her hand placed between her and Charlie's legs, suddenly clenched it tightly. Deep anger welled up in her eyes.
Just as she clenched her fist, Charlie felt it. He turned his head and sighed helplessly at the sight of her blazing eyes.
After all, Lily was Nancy's biological mother. Even though Nancy hated her, she wouldn't want to see anyone else hit her.
"Samuel!"
Charlie shouted coldly, and Samuel, who was about to slap Lily again, suddenly stopped and turned to look at him flatteringly. "Young Master Firth..."
"Samuel, this is the Firth Family. If you want to enforce your family rules, go back to the Mirren Family. Don't act here!"
Samuel quickly withdrew his hand, glared at Lily who was sitting on the ground covering her face and silently sobbing, and bowed to Charlie once again.
"Young Master Firth, it was indeed the Mirren Family's fault. Nan..."
If it weren't for him hitting Lily just now, Nancy would have truly been moved by his "sincerity and care."
He didn't claim to be Nancy's father, which made her unable to find any reason to retort.
"Mr. Mirren..."
Nancy slowly stopped clenching her hands and said expressionlessly, "My husband will help me find my dad. You don't need to bother. If I feel wronged, my husband will seek justice for me. So..."
She glanced at Lily, who was still covering her face, and said coldly, "You can leave now. Don't come here again."
Maid Heather immediately stood up and prepared to escort the three of them out.
At that moment, Daniel, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "Nancy, when you got married, Vivian didn't give you the engagement gifts, right?"
