Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 44

Harlan raised an eyebrow, eyeing Drusilla with a clear warning.

Drusilla knew that talking about his past could risk her standing with Lilith, but if word got out to the Taylor family, her position would be unquestionably at stake!

Staring down Harlan's smug look, Drusilla seethed internally. He was banking on Lilith's favoritism, assuming Drusilla had no leverage over him.

It was his fault to begin with, and neither had gained the upper hand. Yet, he expected her to apologize?

"I won't be apologizing," Drusilla declared firmly. "I work for Mr. Taylor, not you. If you want me gone, you'll have to check with him first!"

Though Enoch was Lilith's uncle, and surely Lilith couldn't make such a decision for him, Drusilla couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt.

Truth be told, she wasn't sure if Enoch would stand by her. After all, Lilith was his niece, and he seemed quite fond of her. But in that moment, Drusilla had no other card to play.

Harlan's smirk widened at her words. Did she really think she stood a chance?

Did she have any clue how much the Taylor family adored Lilith? The sole heir of this generation, coupled with her obedient and sensible nature, made her the family's darling.

Drusilla's attempt to compete with Lilith was laughable.

Harlan, lounging comfortably, watched the exchange with a smirk, clearly enjoying the scene.

Cybele, standing beside Blythe, felt compelled to intervene, "Miss Lilith, could there be some misunderstanding here?"

After all, Drusilla was her recommendation, and seeing her struggle daily, Cybele couldn't help but speak up on her behalf.

Lilith glanced at Cybele, replying, "Cybele, you invited Drusilla here, but she assaulted my husband and shows no remorse. What do you suggest I do? If you were me, could you let this slide?"

Turning to Drusilla, Cybele gently suggested, "Drusilla, maybe you should apologize."
