Chapter 356 - Returning To The Irwan Family Home
This afternoon, dark clouds covered the sun. A cold, biting wind blew through every corner of the metropolis.
Around two in the afternoon, Lilia arrived at the Irwan Family's house. The car driving him stopped right in front of the gate. The car windows were covered in black window film, making it nearly impossible to see who was inside.
Lilia got out of the car and entered the gate of the Irwan Family house. As soon as he walked through the front garden, the butler of the Irwan Family immediately greeted him with a broad smile.
"Young Miss Lilia, welcome back here!" Greet Hardy with great respect.
Her title is no longer 'Miss Lilia', but now the equivalent of Leila, the 'former' young lady of the Irwan Family. Lilia guessed that this must be something Jenny arranged too.
Before coming here, Lilia had conveyed her wish to enter the Irwan Family house to Jenny. He knew that right now he was still considered an outsider by the servants of the Irwan Family. If he had just attempted to enter, they would have reported his arrival. That's why Lilia asked Jenny for help.
Lilia's aunt immediately agreed and arranged for Hardy, the butler, to help Lilia in. After all, Lilia's purpose in coming here today wasn't to visit relatives or to renew the past. He came here to rediscover his joy.
Uncle Hardy didn't really know Lilia yet, but he trusted Jenny's judgment. In addition, he had seen for himself how Lilia's efforts to expose Leila's identity together with Mellisa. That's why he agreed to Jenny's orders. The old man leads Lilia to the wing of the house where Leila is.
In the last few days, except for Randell and Trisa, no one else has been allowed to leave the Irwan Family home. Of course, Leila who collapsed that night was one of them.
Along the way to Leila's room, Lilia walked leisurely and enjoyed the beautiful garden view. As she crossed the front doorway, Lilia asked, "Uncle Hardy, do you know what activities Miss Leila has been doing recently?"
Hardy was walking beside Lilia with her hands behind her back when she heard the question. Hardy turned and smiled calmly.
"Miss Leila is busy painting every day." Hardy explained. "He knows that Mr Big Simon loves natural paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects. Recently, Miss Leila has presented several paintings by herself! "
"Oh, how dedicated this Miss Leila is!" Lilia commented with a smile, but her eyes were filled with ridicule.
Leila, who has spent her whole life pleasing others, will certainly not give up the opportunity to show off her kindness. In the eyes of others, they would definitely praise Leila as a kind and devoted granddaughter. But in Lilia's eyes, Leila was only doing this so she wouldn't be kicked out of the Irwan Family's house
Hardy glanced at Lilia, and then she added with a sigh, "More than that, Miss Leila knows that Miss Jenny likes jade jewelry and ornaments. Recently, I don't know where she got the rough stone to carve her own pendant. She said that. this is a gift for Miss Jenny. "
Lilia had to suppress laughter when she heard that. So Leila acknowledges Jenny's authority, so now she's trying to win her over.
After some small talk, the eastern wing room where Leila lived was close. Hardy pointed to one of the doors. "This is Miss Leila's room. Please come in, Young Miss Lilia. I am at the door, and you can call me whenever you need to."
"Thank you, Uncle Hardy. Sorry to trouble you." Lilia said with a polite smile.
"It's not a bother at all, it's okay." Hardy smiled back.
Lilia nodded at him before approaching the room one step at a time. Without knocking, Lilia immediately pushed the door open.
"You have to help me find a solution ……!"
As soon as Lilia entered the room, she heard those words from the inner room. Perhaps after hearing the sound of the door opening, the room was shrouded in silence for a while. Then Leila hurriedly appears.
The layout of these wing rooms is not much different from the royal suites in hotels. There is a living room, an ordinary bedroom, and also an private bathroom. Behind the door is a living room with excellent lighting. The combination of several wooden windows creates a quaint atmosphere. On the right side of the room is a row of display racks, and the room behind it is Leila's bedroom.
Currently, Leila is wearing cartoon pajamas made of pink velvet. Her long hair is curled into a pair of balls on either side of her head. Her appearance looks so innocent, like a little girl who is well-behaved and wise in every family.
Leila was still holding the cellphone in her hand when she saw Lilia and the open door behind her. He immediately hung up the phone before hiding it behind his back. Leila glares at the uninvited guest.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded. No pleasantries or smiles from Leila, just direct questions.
Lilia was standing beside the door and the wind outside the door blew the hem of her jacket. He closed the door to the room before saying, "Of course I came here to see you!"
"No need!" When she saw Lilia close the door, Leila immediately showed the alertness in her eyes. "Did my parents know that you came to the Irwan Family's house?" He demanded.
Lilia turned around and walked straight into the living room. He flicked the back of his jacket with both hands before sitting down at the round wooden table in the living room. Lilia put one hand on the table and her fingertips began tapping the surface rhythmically.
"Your parents?" Lilia repeated scornfully, "Oh, are you talking about Mr. Robert and Mrs. Sylvia? I don't think they know about my arrival today. Do you need me to ask Uncle Hardy to call them?"
Leila takes a deep breath and subconsciously squeezes the phone in her grasp. He was standing beside the display rack while glaring at Lilia.
In the room, there was only the sound of Lilia's fingertips tapping on the wooden table in a regular rhythm. Neither Lilia nor Leila said anything.
Leila squints slightly at the wooden window, as if trying to look outside the courtyard. When she caught her movement, Lilia gave a faint smile. "You don't need to look outside. I came here alone today."
"What would you do?" Leila looked at Lilia with hatred and wariness.
This time, Leila didn't bother putting on the ridiculous looks of the crazy woman in front of Mike and the sweet-behaved princess. It seemed that Leila already considered Lilia as her enemy.
Lilia studied the woman in front of her intently for a while. Then he sneered, "There are no outsiders here. Why are you still pretending in front of me? Miss Leila Irwan? Or should I call you Miss Leila Pangestu from now on?"
Maybe Lilia's words just now hit a weak spot in Leila's heart. The fake princess clenched her fists and said angrily at the next second, "My surname is Irwan, not Pangestu!"
"Hmm? Really?" Lilia put on a shocked face. "If you don't have the Pangestu surname, then why do you spend the Pangestu family money as if you deserve it?"
Leila immediately lowered her head without being able to reply to Lilia's words.
