Chapter 865
After dinner, she asked Jerick to accompany her to walk around. She claimed it. was to help with digesting her food, but it was also so she could pick some gifts for Aiden, Guillermo, and Jennifer.
At the same time, Lillian also talked with Jerick about Zekiah. “You don’t even know how many bruises I saw on that child when he took off his clothes. I can’t. believe that family. Even though he’s adopted and not their biological son, they can’t beat him like this! I was so angry! If he were my child, I would be falling over myself to dote on him!”
“You will be a good mother in the future,” Jerick said.
“I don’t know if I have the chance to be a mother in my life.” Lillian shrugged. After all, she was already 33 years old, and women had a limited childbearing age. Although many women over 40 years old still had children, they were part of a minority.
Perhaps in a few years, she would be able to move on from Callum, but she already wouldn’t be able to conceive.
“And I’ve always liked children! I even thought that if I had a child, the child would look like… she thought.
The image of Callum as a child suddenly appeared in her mind. He was so cute. and delicate as if he were a beautiful doll.
“Goodness gracious. What am I thinking?” she thought.
Lillian quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the image of Callum as a child. in her mind.
At this moment, a woman suddenly rushed out and slapped Lillian.
Before Lillian could react, her face was burning. After hearing the sound, Jerick realized what was going on. He grabbed the woman who hit Lillian and said, “Who are you? How can you hit someone?”
“Let go of mel” The woman struggled and stared at Lillian viciously. “Lillian, how can you do this? Yes, I secretly took photos and put them on the company forum. Then I sold the pictures of you and Callum entering and leaving the hotel to: others, but L… I don’t know who that person is. Someone contacted me and bought those photos at a high price. I have no reason not to sell them, right?” Hearing this, Lillian was stunned. She really didn’t expect Rebecca, her former colleague, to be involved in her photos being spread online on the company’s Internal forum.
Rebecca always liked to mock and ridicule heri But after the incident ding Li

soon as they met.
“In the end, you got the company to fire me using Callum’s authority, and now I can’t find a good job outside. Lillian, are you even human? You’re so vicious…”
Rebecca was still cussing her out. Lillian’s expression darkened, and she walked up to Rebecca, raised her hand, and slapped her back.
Slap!
The crisp and loud sound of a slap rang out, and Rebecca was stunned. She didn’t expect that Lillian would directly slap her in the face like this!
“You… How dare you hit me?” Rebecca said angrily.
Lillian sneered, “You already hit me. Why can’t I hit you?”
“I hit you because you did something horrible to me! I just sold a few pictures of you, but you made my life a living hell!” Rebecca said angrily.
“Do you have any evidence to prove that I’m responsible for the company firing you and you still not being able to get a job?” Lillian retorted, “But you just admitted what you had done to me. Rebecca, we were colleagues once, but you insisted on targeting me in every way you could. What did you gain in the end?”
“You…
“What? Are you still going to embarrass yourself?” Lillian said, “I can tell you clearly that I have never told the director to fire you or let others not hire you. I’m not that capable!”
“You aren’t, but Callum is!” Rebecca shouted, “It’s you. You asked Callum to take revenge on me!”
Lillian’s face darkened. She stared at Rebecca and sneered, “If I really have the ability to do this, how do you think I’ll take revenge against you for slapping me and saying all this to me? No matter what I say, Callum will do it for me, right? By then, it’ll be easy to make sure you don’t have a place in Strico.”
Rebecca’s face turned pale with fear.
Lillian said to Jerick, “Jerick! Let her go.”
Jerick then let go of Rebecca.
At this moment, Rebecca was no longer as aggressive as before. Instead, she seemed to be a little nervous.
Lillian ignored Rebecca and said to Jerick, “Let’s go back.
Jerick nodded, but he seemed to be worried. “Aren’t you afraid that she will come to you again?”
If she was really afraid of Callum, she would not come to trouble me again. There was an escalator next to Lillian, At this moment, there were few people an

force pushed Lillian from behind. She staggered and fell toward the running escalator.
“Lillian!” Jerick shouted and subconsciously reached out to grab Lillian’s hand, but someone else grabbed her faster than he did.
Then, Lillian fell, and the momentum took the person who had caught her hand with her.
Jerick only heard the sound of bodies falling to the ground. Then, he heard the screams of passers–by.
Jerick quickly squatted down and pressed the emergency stop button beside the escalator.
It was only a few seconds, but Lillian felt as if a long century had passed.
The pain she had expected didn’t come. Someone’s arms were tightly wrapped around her, and she leaned against their wide chest. That person suffered all the pain instead of her.
And the scent that poured into her nose seemed to tell her who it was!.
Callum!
It was Callum!
Even if Lillian didn’t see Callum’s face, she was sure that the person hugging her was Callum!
The escalator stopped running.
“Does it hurt anywhere?” That familiar yet strange voice sounded above her head.
