Chapter 974
Stephen said to Lillian, “No matter what happens in the end, your mother and I will always stand behind you. Our
pensions are enough to support a grandchild.”
Lillian’s eyes grew moist. She willfully decided to get pregnant out of wedlock and wanted to give birth to the baby.
Even so, her parents had remained her unwavering support from the beginning.
How lucky she was to be their daughter in this life!
After saying goodbye to her parents, Lillian walked toward the building of White Maple Group. “Will I get to see
Callum? Or should I say, will Callum meet me?” she thought, feeling nervous. Now, upon reflection, she realized
how close she had been to happiness. If only she had not misinterpreted the situation when she saw Madeline
leaving Callum’s mansion and continued to believe in Callum’s love for her. Perhaps they would not have separated
if she had approached Callum to ask about the matter and resolve the misunderstanding.
When Lillian arrived at the entrance of White Maple Group, she suddenly stopped and was stunned. Several people
were walking out of the company, and the one at the front was none other than Callum! He was dressed in a suit.
He appeared thinner compared to Lillian’s memory. His black hair was slicked back, exposing his broad forehead.
This accentuated his handsome features, but it also intensified the sense of intimidation he exuded.
His entire presence exuded an air of solemnity. At that moment, Lillian gazed at Callum in a trance, and all she

Callum seemed to notice her gaze. He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Lillian. The moment he
saw her, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his footsteps stopped.
“Cal…”
Before Lillian could finish her word, the next moment, Callum had already taken a step forward and turned his head
away from her without sparing her a glance.
It was as though she was just a stranger to him.
Seeing that Callum was about to get into a black car parked outside, Lillian suddenly came back to her senses. She
hurriedly caught up and grabbed Callum’s arm.
“Callum!” she said hurriedly, just wanting to stop him from leaving so soon. “Give me some time. I have something
to tell you!”
Callum stopped and looked at the hand that grabbed his arm coldly.
The people trailing behind Callum were taken aback by the scene that unfolded before them. Some people began
to speculate about Lillian’s identity. Of course, some recognized Lillian as the woman who had been previously
associated with their director in gossip news.
Callum’s eyes moved to Lillian’s face. His dark eyes were looking at her without any emotion. “Why should I give
you time?”
“Ah…” Lillian choked. His indifferent eyes made her heart hurt.
me.” Even his voice was so cold.
“I don’t like being held by irrelevant people. Let go of
“An irrelevant person?” The words reverberated in Lillian’s mind. She felt as though there was a sharp sword
piercing her heart.
She had once declared that from then on, they had nothing to do with each other!
But when similar words came from his mouth, she finally knew that those words were so hurtful!
Lillian tightened her grip. “Callum, I… I have a lot of things to
few moments.
tell you. Please, give me some time. Just a
“But I have nothing to tell you.” Callum pulled his hand away from Lillian’s finger and walked toward the car that
had been waiting there.

Seeing that Callum had opened the car door and was about to get into the car, Lillian suddenly shouted, “Callum, I
love you!”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing this, not only did Callum’s subordinates turn their heads with curiosity, but even some passersby on
the roadside cast inquisitive glances.
But to Lillian’s disappointment, Callum got into the car without saying a word and then closed the door without even
looking back.
Immediately, many sympathetic eyes fell on Lillian. Of course, there were also some mockers. One of the senior
executives even berated the security guards a few paces away. “What are you doing? How could you allow anyone
to get close to Mr. White?”
The security guard hurriedly responded and then stepped forward to pull Lillian away.
Lillian staggered as she was dragged to the side, but her eyes fixated on the car until the car disappeared from her
sight completely.
The security guard next to her was saying something to her, but she paid no attention. Her thoughts were
consumed by the way Callum had looked at her and his indifferent words.
In truth, she had expected this result. She had undergone thousands of rounds of mental preparation, but when she
actually faced all of this, the pain was still too much!
“It’s okay!” Lillian said to herself silently in her heart. Callum had suffered much more pain before, and the torment
she was currently experiencing was likely only a fraction of what he had gone through.
