Chapter 523 - Lessons From Lilia

"What do I want?" Lilia asked while licking her lips.

Hugo lifted his chin up high and met Lilia's gaze, but the man quickly felt embarrassed and looked away.

Lilia chuckled, she then looked at Daniel who had a dull face. "I told you not to show off our relationship as siblings everywhere, but I understand. You're just proud of your sister."

Daniel realized that Lilia was helping him.

He pulled the corner of his mouth too far and tried to give his sister a smile, but he realized that smiling at a time like this was difficult for him. So he ended up with a grimace on his face.

Lilia stepped forward and tapped him on the shoulder. She then looked around and said in her firm and clear voice, "Sorry, I'm so busy all the time with my job as a model, I don't have the free time to visit my brother at school.

"I just want to tell you, regardless of my relationship with him, there's no reason for anyone to make fun of him. All of you are classmates, are you proud after making fun of him?"

She didn't straight up scold them, rather trying to open their mind and let them realize their mistake.

'Even if you have a lot of anger in your heart, you can't go around and bully people.' And that was the meaning behind her words.

Lilia could've just let Daniel and Hugo fight, she'd be gladly paying their medical expenses until they recovered.

But if she did it, Daniel would definitely face an even more difficult situation in the near future.

Lilia's gaze finally fixed on Hugo. She stepped forward and stared at him flatly. "My name is Lilia, Daniel's older sister. If my brother did something wrong, I can ask him to apologize to you."

"Sister!" Daniel exclaimed anxiously, he would never want to apologize to Hugo.

Lilia raised her arm slightly and gestured for him not to speak.

Hugo was a little absent-minded this time. In fact, he had never faced this kind of situation. 

He held a grudge because his position had been taken away and Daniel took all the fame that should have belonged to him before. Apart from that, he didn't have any deep hatred.

He looked at Lilia with his absentminded eyes as he didn't know how to answer her.

Lilia's eyes swept across Daniel's three classmates in front of him. After a while, she vaguely said, "Since Daniel did the wrong thing, as his big sister, I will scold him and teach him again. But how about you? Even if the Pangestu family went bankrupt, why did you harass and humiliate him?"

"You are also an adult, you should be able to take responsibility for your actions and words. 

Since you bullied and insulted my brother, I will consider bringing this matter to court. I'm going to ask my attorney to come forward and take all the videos from the cameras in this cafe as evidence of your defamation and contempt for Daniel, and then..."

At this point, Lilia deliberately stopped.

She wouldn't actually do all that. After all, she was only dealing with teens. Hearing she'd bring the case to court or the police would eventually make them scared and panic.

Who wouldn't be afraid when someone held them accountable and threatened them with a lawsuit?! 

Sure enough, Hugo panicked after hearing those words.

He just wanted to embarrass Daniel and made him desperate, he never thought that Daniel and his sister would sue him for that!

"I, I ..." Hugo broke into cold sweat,unable to complete his sentence and stuttered for a long time.

Today he and his friends found out that Lilia was really Daniel's sister.

Had they known this for a long time, they wouldn't definitely taunt him.

When the name Lilia the supermodel came to his mind, he thought of people who dared to insult her on the Internet. All of them didn't have a good ending!

A few days ago, it was just revealed that Lilia was the daughter of a powerful family in Jakarta, so wouldn't that mean…. Daniel was also the son of the same family?!

'Oh, my God! What kind of situation am I in!' He gritted his teeth, cursing his own stupidity.

Hugo had actually reached a dead end. He could imagine living a miserable life behind the iron bars because of what he did to Daniel.

Lilia looked at Hugo who was consumed by her bluff with a satisfied look. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Daniel.

If she hadn't come to school today, what kind life would her younger brother lead?!

She stared at Daniel and let out a helpless sigh. "I told you to save money because I didn't want to see you spend them lavishly and end up like this. But why did you go to work? Do you think our family really has no money? You better focus on studying and leave this matter to your sister."

The corner of Daniel's mouth opened slightly as he heard the words, a hint of bitterness was seen crossing his eyes.

At this time, Lilia took out an ATM card from her wallet, and when she handed it to Daniel, she smiled and said loudly, "I've opened a savings account for you. Your allowance is 15 million per month, this should be enough for you. Remember, don't spend it all! But if you feel it's not enough, you can tell your sister anytime."

Daniel was still standing surprised when he saw the ATM card in his sister's hand, he did not reach out to take it.

Lilia couldn't help but put it in his hands.

The sight made people around them look confused.

Hugo secretly glanced at Lilia's face. Before he could speak, his friends slapped him on the arm. "Hugo, hurry and apologize to him. If you don't apologize, don't expect to be friends with us. Everything you did today has nothing to do with us!"

"Right! Aren't you bothering Daniel because he took your position as the captain? You shouldn't have the right to be angry because you got a leg injury so we were forced to replace you. Why are you blaming someone else?!"

Everyone looked for a way out and avoided trouble. Regardless if they had to shamelessly take back their words.

His two friends might have been very good to Hugo, but as soon as Lilia mentioned lawsuit and lawyer, who in their right mind would want to be dragged to the bottom of the abyss?

The woman was a celebrity and had a powerful family supporting her. If anyone dared to disturb her, then they must face the consequence for their actions.

Hugo looked at his two best friends with a sullen expression, he scolded them inwardly for not defending him. After glowering at them, he said angrily, "I... I'm sorry."

He was really helpless, he shouldn't have been the one getting humiliated.

In the end, Lilia's attempt to educate them was successful.

Daniel looked at the three of them with indifferent eyes. "No need to apologize, stay away from me in the future. Also, I've never bragged about anything. I am just proud to have Lilia as my big sister!"

Hugo looked at him with difficulty and muttered, "Tch, I know it."

The three people turned around and walked past them, they immediately ran and hastily disappeared.

After what happened today, none of them dared to bully Daniel again.

They were worried that Daniel would retaliate against them. The three were scared that they would be  taken to the police station for today's incident!

Alas, that was just their exaggerated imaginary.

...

The awful joke really ended after they left.

Lilia led Daniel and sat down at a table near the window. At the moment, the waiter coincidently brought coffee and salad they ordered earlier.

He didn't say anything, but Daniel put the ATM card in his hand on the table and pushed it slightly towards Lilia.

"Sister, thank you just now for helping me!" Daniel seemed to have grown up overnight.

After this incident ended, the tough look he'd painstakingly put to display disappeared from his face.

Lilia saw her brother shoving the ATM card towards her, so she raised her eyebrows jokingly. "You think I lied about this ATM card?"

When Daniel heard this, his fingers that were still resting on the ATM card trembled a little.
