Chapter 978
After all, it wasn’t difficult for those in the company with a bit of knowledge of their director’s past to discover that
Lillian was his ex-girlfriend. There were even many videos of the pair that circulated on the internet back then.
He had straight-off whisked Lillian away when she was swarmed by reporters who accused her of being the other
woman in a relationship. His show of domineering protectiveness had even sparked a
discussion among the company’s insiders as to whether Lillian would successfully secure a position as his wife and
elevate her status.
None of them had foreseen Callum returning to Jacaster all alone.
Therefore, most of the speculators had assumed that Lillian had lost her chance. Yet, she showed up again looking
for Callum.
Lillian blinked her doe eyes at Callum and said, “Well… Why don’t we have our conversation in your office? I’m sure
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou wouldn’t want others to know what things of mine are in your possession.” “What if I don’t mind? Pray tell, what
is it that you’re referring to?” Callum was on a short fuse.
“Are you sure about that?” Lillian hesitated.
“By all means.”
Hence, Lillian cleared her throat. “The things I left behind include the ginger and lemon tea you bought me, sanitary
pads, and-”
“Enough!” Callum’s expression was dour as he interrupted Lillian and raised his hand to massage the corner of his
forehead. “My office, right now!” It felt like his emotions were always on a rollercoaster ride whenever he came
across her.
A victorious smile crept across Lillian’s features as she hurriedly trailed after Callum toward his office. She didn’t
forget to bring the snacks along before departing.
“The free snacks White Maple Group offers their employees are not bad at all!” she commented internally.
The company employees who overheard what Lillian had said, on the other hand, exchanged glances and were
dumbfounded that Callum would actually purchase such things for someone.
It didn’t fit his image at all.
Callum turned to glare at Lillian, who was behind him after entering the office. “You…”
“I said these things as an excuse just to see you. But it was true that I’d left them in your mansion and didn’t bring
them with me initially.” Her voice became softer under his death stare.
“I’ve disposed of them long ago. I hope you don’t expect me to keep them after so many years have passed.”
Callum huffed.
“Have you also thrown away the pillows, cups, and slippers with the couple designs too?” Lillian blurted
out.
It had been her first time being in a relationship. Therefore, she was exceptionally fond of trinkets
designed for couples. She would often purchase and place them in Callum’s mansion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCallum ended up using those things she bought despite initially eyeing them
à di infully.
Case in point, he would drink his coffee using the cup with the couple’s design she bought and prop his back with
the pillow she bought whenever he read on the couch while wearing another one of her purchases, a pair of fluffy
Mickey Mouse slippers. Lillian’s slippers naturally had Minnie Mouse as its design.
She had even joked about bringing their children to Disneyland once they had them.
“They’re gone too,” Callum proclaimed unhesitantly.
Lillian’s face turned pale, and she bit her lip lightly. She recollected herself after a moment and brushed it off
brightly, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll just repurchase them when I get the chance next time.”
Callum was mildly upset. “What exactly do you want? I thought we had already made it clear yesterday. You can
approach my secretary if you need money. Otherwise, leave Jacaster as soon as possible and

return to Strico, where you belong.”
He didn’t want her to appear before him again, as it rattled his feelings severely.
