Chapter 1157
Chapter 1157 She sat in front of her piano by the window with furrowed brows. Her eyes stared out of the window nkly. Her
grandfather had rightfully scolded her, and it made sense, but she refused to ept it. She refused to ept defeat from Sylvia,
not in this terrible way. Ding.
Her phone rang
Her assistant from thepany called her. Annoyed, she answered the call and put the phone next to her ear. “What is it?”
“Ms. Springsteen, something has happened to the project with Carter Corporation. They just informed us that they have some
problem at their side and are taking back their workers. They said they wanted to pause the project.”
Lily bolted up. “Pause? What happened? Why are they taking back their workers?”
While the Springsteen Corporation might have proposed and be the major stakeholder of the project, the core personnel
and workers were mostly supplied by Carter Corporation. Carter Corporation was needed to solve many of the critical problems,
and the project could not be paused even for a day as it entered the final phase.
The assistant said, “Ms. Springsteen, | asked Cliff about it, but he only revealed that there‘s something important that is holding
them back. He didn''t reveal any more. The workers that were summoned back don''t know what happened either.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Lily‘s face turned pale. “They were summoned back on short notice?”
“Yes, madam.” The assistant continued in a smaller voice, “Ms. Springsteen, did we do something wrong, or did we make Master
Carter mad?”
Lily thought of what happened back at thepetition venue, especially about how Odell had questioned Haytham about what
he did to Sylvia.
She clenched her teeth tightly. “Settle our men first and try to continue as much as possible. I''ll deal with Carter Corporation.”
She hung up the phone and immediately gave Odell a call.
However, all she got was a busy tone. Lily frowned. She went on her social media and searched for Odell‘s contact. She typed a
long message and texted him. Unfortunately, the system informed her that she was no longer on his friend list and that the
message could only be sent with his consent.
Lily''s expression froze.
Odell had deleted her from his contact list. The anger and disbelief made her eyes teary. She smashed the phone on the floor
and started crying on the bed.
She was the eldest daughter of the Springsteens! She lived like a princess who was adored by many, and she had merely taught
Sylvia a lesson, so why would he punish her in return?
How could Odell not consider the profits and losses of bothpanies? Or had he never taken her seriously? She was the
eldest daughter, the heir to the Springsteen Corporation, yet he did not care.
Smashing her phone on the ground caught the attention of her mother and grandmother.
Mrs. Springsteen and Madam Springsteen came to her door and knocked.
“Lily, what happened in there?” “Are you crying? Open the door. Don''t scare us.”
Lily clenched her teeth and wiped her tears away. “I''m fine. Leave me alone.”
Madam Springsteen said, “Lily, she‘s just someone who can paint better. Even if she''s Mrs. Carter, she will never be your equal
or better. You are the eldest daughter of the family, our precious princess. Forget about what
happened in the morning. It''s not worth your time.”
Lily was annoyed by her grandmother. “I know. Stop it. Leave me alone!”
That woman was not just someone who could paint better. In fact, she might be the best painter in all of Westchester.
Even though that woman came from a family that resented her, it should not have be the reason why others looked down
on her. It was out of her control as she could not choose her family.
Lily‘s tears trickled down her face as the words of her assistant echoed in her mind, and she thought of how Odell had deleted
her from the contact list.
She wiped her tears, and together with her tears, her pride. She said in a small voice, “I was wrong...”
