Chapter 417

Callum’s expression changed instantly. He took a swift step forward and positioned himself before Lillian, saying, “Mr. Youngblood, Lillian is only doing this because of her friend. If her actions have offended you in any way, I’m willing to bear the consequences for her.

“Callum, you don’t have to help me. I can handle it myself!” Lillian replied firmly.

“How are you going to handle it?” Callum asked angrily. “Do you really think you can bear the consequences?”

“What’s the worst that can happen? I’ll just let him beat me to death, then! I’m mentally prepared for it!” Lillian retorted.

Callum could not shake the feeling that his usually composed demeanor would waver whenever he faced Lillian.

Meanwhile, Jonathan stared coldly at Lillian. Clearly, he was not planning to let her go just like that.

However, at that very moment, Rosalie, who had passed out from drunkenness, suddenly nuzzled her head against Lillian’s shoulder. “Lillian… Don’t be afraid… I’ll protect you,” Rosalie mumbled incoherently.

Upon hearing her words, tears welled up in Lillian’s eyes. “Oh, Rosalie. How are you still thinking of protecting me even when you’re drunk?” she thought.

Jonathan stared intently at the intoxicated Rosalie. After a while, he turned around and left without saying a word.
