Chapter 976

Richard's voice came from behind Lily. She looked back and nodded slightly. "Have you been in touch with Mary lately?" Even though everyone seemed like they were chatting casually, they actually had ulterior motives of their own. Lily responded with a flawless answer, "I would like to, but our relationship has already been marred after something like this happened. She's someone who doesn't hesitate to cut even the bestest of friends off. She's not going to tolerate even the slightest flaw." "That's true." Richard smiled. "The situation in our family is currently unstable, and Mary doesn't see the picture clearly. "But that's okay. There will come a day when she'll be able to see it clearly. As her father, it's not like I'm going to harm her. When that time comes, she will still be a scion of the Devereux family and your relationship with her will be restored…" Richard had it all planned out in his head. In the business world, having many daughters wasn't a bad thing.
