Lilian laughed and said, "Ask your own heart. If Young Master Parish wasn't so deeply in love with me, why would he let me go to the kitchen whenever I wanted, and why would he insist on calling me there on my first day of work?"
Upon hearing Lilian 's words based on "facts," the three men's expressions changed. For a moment, they were hesitant to believe what Lilian said, but they also dared not completely disbelieve it.
The reason they came to cause her trouble was because they were skeptical of the rumors, and more inclined to disbelieve them.
But Lilian 's analysis of the "facts" forced them to believe it... Could it be that young master Parish was really captivated by this girl who hadn't even grown up yet?
The three looked at each other and saw the reluctance to leave in the eyes of the others.
They absolutely did not want to give up their jobs at the Earl's mansion, and none of them dared to take the risk.
“I just remembered, there’s still some work I haven’t finished…” Fiona spoke first, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Lilian .
Abigail and Kelly quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, I also have work to do..."
Seeing that the three were frightened by her, Lilian breathed a sigh of relief. At least she wouldn't have to get into a brawl on her very first day at the Earl's mansion... To be honest, she had never been in a fight before and was afraid she would lose.
But just as Lilian breathed a sigh of relief, she caught a glimpse of someone striding towards her from the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat.
That demon!
—These three maids are so stupid. They didn't even know to stay away from her when they were causing trouble. They dared to act recklessly so close to "Young Master Parish's" residence.
As the three maids turned to leave, they saw "Young Master Parish" walking towards them. They were startled after being bombarded with the "truth" by Lilian . Thinking of the terrible consequences of being kicked out, one of them knelt down one after another, trembling as they tried to say something.
Rock Johnson ignored them and strode past the three to Lilian .
At this moment, at least half of the smile on his face came from himself; he hadn't missed a single word that the human woman named " Lilian " had said.
Just as he had suspected, she was indeed despicable. In his presence, she was as innocent as a lamb, but in front of other women who might threaten her ambitions, she bared her teeth and exposed all her filthy thoughts.
His eyes held disgust and contempt, but Rock Johnson 's smile was one of genuine emotion from Parish: "My beautiful girl, are they bullying you? Are you hurt?"
He paused, then suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity.
He appeared when she was being bullied, and just as she had said before, proposed to her again, satisfying her vanity...
“They don’t know how much I cherish you, and they’ve wronged you, which I cannot tolerate… Lilian , please marry me, then no one will dare to disrespect you again.”
It's one thing for Lilian 's "truth" to be very credible, but it's quite another to hear Young Master Parrish actually propose to you in person. Abigail and the other two were still kneeling on the ground, but as if they had rehearsed it, they turned their heads in unison, looking at this scene with faces full of fear.
The marriage proposal was actually true!
Lilian immediately lowered her head after "Young Master Parish" approached. No matter how many times she looked, she still felt that the demon hidden in someone else's body was terrifying.
It wasn't that the demon was ugly; she had looked at him carefully when she was forced to stare at him earlier. Apart from his goat horns and his gloomy and evil aura, his face wasn't strangely shaped... in fact, it was quite handsome.
So what if she's good-looking? That doesn't change the fact that he's a devil who wants her dead!
“I’m sorry, Mr. Parish, I am not worthy of you and cannot accept your proposal,” Lilian said with a practiced ease, adding a touch of melancholy and hesitation to her performance.
She felt her acting skills were far superior to this devil's. Did he think she couldn't see the coldness and murderous intent emanating from his bones when he proposed to her?
She was certain that once she agreed, he would immediately reap her soul!
If Abigail and her two companions were merely incredulous upon hearing "Young Master Parish's" marriage proposal, they nearly fainted upon hearing Lilian 's reply.
Why could Lilian say "I can't accept" when faced with the young master's marriage proposal? If it were them, they might have fainted from joy!
Upon hearing Lilian 's response, Rock Johnson felt half anger and half a strange sense of entitlement.
After all, she was too ambitious, and she had already rejected him so many times.
Rock Johnson simply looked disappointed and said, " Lilian , you're still so heartless. Oh well, I believe you'll come to your senses someday."
He sighed and left.
Yes, Rock Johnson did not reprimand or warn the three maids, but simply left as if he had forgotten about them.
Why would he warn those three maids?
They continued to pressure that human woman so that she would end her scheme sooner, accept his proposal, and then, ha.
Lilian watched Rock Johnson 's figure disappear, then looked at the three seemingly absent-minded maids kneeling on the ground, and suddenly remembered that this devil seemed to finally know her name.
She shook her head. The devil left so quickly, which was quite unexpected. She had thought he would at least show some more affection to move her—like kicking the three maids out of the Earl's mansion or something.
But he didn't do that, not even a warning. Did he think his affectionate display was enough? But they were bullying her! Shouldn't his display of affection have led him to act impulsively for her sake?
