Chapter 1162

Actually, Tilly could ask Melanie for the one million dollars. But she didn't dare to as Lily would definitely end her. It was better to ask Toby. Toby couldn't stand her nagging. With a resigned sigh, he said, "I'll go with you. I'll check out the emerald first, and if it's really worth the price, I'll buy it for you." Forget it! Tilly was his little sister! What else could he do but spoil her? If he didn't spoil her now, he wouldn't have the chance when she was older. "Alright!" Tilly said, jumping up excitedly. She ran upstairs to change into the beautiful dress Melanie had bought for her, then turned to Melanie. "Grandma, my brother and I are going out. Don't save lunch for us. We'll eat out!" "Where are you going? I'm coming with you. You're so young. What if you get lost?" Melanie hurried out to stop them. "That won't happen. We know the way home. We're going now." Tilly said as she grabbed Toby's hand and headed for the door. "No! You can't go out alone. Even if you don't get lost, what if you run into bad people?" Melanie insisted. "I have to go with you." To prevent Tilly and Toby from running off, Melanie blocked their way and called out to the housekeeper inside, "Polly, bring me my bag." "Grandma, you really don't need to worry. No bad guys will dare target us unless they think they've had enough of life," Tilly said with the demeanor of an adult. "Toby and I are the kind of people even bad guys would avoid." Toby nodded. "Yes, Grandma. You don't need to worry about us. We'll stay safe. Plus, Mommy installed a tracking system in our watches, so if anything happens, she'll be able to find us." "Are you really sure?" Melanie asked skeptically. "Yes, we are!" Tilly said, nodding her little head enthusiastically. "Oh, well, alright then," Melanie replied. After they left, Melanie still felt a bit uneasy, so she called Daniel. "Daniel, go help me look after my two little darlings." Normally, she would just arrange for bodyguards, but Melanie was worried that the ones at home might not be capable enough. Daniel was undoubtedly capable, having worked alongside Loid for so long. She could only feel at ease with him protecting them. After hanging up, Daniel stared at his phone in confusion. Little darlings? Where did these little darlings come from? … As soon as Lily and Loid entered Laurier Group, they ran into two familiar faces. Well, they were familiar to Lily, at least. It was Ida and Sapphire Hutchinson. "Laura, Dad said you've never taken charge of company affairs, so we're here to help," Sapphire said. Sapphire was Neal's adopted daughter. But in truth, she was his biological daughter. Her mother came from a humble background while the Hutchinson family was prestigious and top-tier, which led them to look down on her mother. Neal, a man of great ambition and pride, had felt that Sapphire's mother was beneath him, so he had refused to acknowledge her as his daughter. But she was his own flesh and blood, and as a man with no children of his own, he eventually found having a daughter wasn't so bad after all. So, in the end, he allowed Sapphire to stay in the Hutchinson family as an adopted daughter. After finishing her sentence, Sapphire turned to Loid. "Mr. Laurier, I specialize in sales. I was wondering if your company is looking for sales talent?" Lily narrowed her eyes, sneering coldly. Neal was certainly cautious, sending two people to keep tabs on her. It was clear that he still didn't believe she had amnesia. Loid glanced at Lily, who was frowning and saying nothing. He then turned his attention back to Sapphire. "What's going on here? Has the Hutchinson family's company fallen apart? Why are they sending all these people my way? Do you think Laurier Group is a refugee camp?" Sapphire froze for a moment but quickly regained her composure. She smiled and replied, "Mr. Laurier, you must be joking. Our elders simply want the younger generation to gain more experience. Plus, I'm confident I can bring wealth to Laurier Group with my abilities. Mr. Laurier, I hope you'll consider it."
