Grandpa's Safety Amulet

Haoqin was pleased to see Lisa's expression.

Let us see if she can still continue being smug!

Contrary to their belief, Lisa straightened her back and stopped hiding behind Old Mr. Manoban. She stared at Kun coldly and said, "I have no one to take me in hand."

She was composed and there seemed to be a tinge of envy in her large and watery eyes when she was staring at Kun.

"It's my fortune to have been able to survive until now. Not everyone is as lucky as you to be showered with the love of your parents all your life. You're already 20 years old and yet you're still acting like a child. You need your parents to stand up for you all the time..."

Her voice sounded colder and colder and she even seemed to be smirking in self-mockery.

"You don't have to be beaten to a pulp just for taking an extra bite of food and you don't have to play cute or obedient just to avoid being hit..." Lisa then stared at Kun and continued, "What are manners compared to survival?"

Old Mr. Manoban's heart sank and his eyes turned red immediately.

She could have received excellent education from the beginning and be nurtured into an outstanding heiress of the Manoban Family. Yet, she had to go through unnecessary torment and suffering.

It was all his fault for failing to look after her carefully, thus giving others the chance to carry her away!

That was also the reason Lisa's biological mother developed depression which killed her.

The matter remained as a thorn in Old Mr. Manoban's heart.

Lisa's words had struck a sour note within him.

"Lili, throughout all these years, I've let you down. I won't let anyone bully you again from now on. No one can bully you for as long as I live!" Old Mr. Manoban said remorsefully.

He sounded firm and solemn!

Old Mr. Manoban was a reputable military personnel when he was younger and hence, he was still rather dominant now, even though he was old in his years. There was an icy cold gaze in his cloudy eyes which made him look rather murderous.

Although it seemed as if he were saying those words to Lisa, he was actually directing them at the people standing by the door.

Old Mr. Manoban was undoubtedly giving Lisa a safety amulet!

Haoqin's face grew sullen and he felt extremely indignant.

How did I not think of this? Lisa turned out to have such an ability!

Ever since Old Mr. Manoban arrived, Lisa seemed to be deliberately striking sour chords within him, with the words that she said.

But that's impossible.

I'm Father's son, I know him the best.

This lass has only been brought home for three days!

How could she have become so familiar with him within just three days? Besides, she had been familiarising herself with the environment and hence, did not have much time to interact with him at all. How could that be...

Could this be just a coincidence?

After giving it some more thought, Haoqin reckoned that must have been the case.

Lisa smiled radiantly and exclaimed, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Upon sight of her smile, Old Mr. Manoban said tenderly, "Hurry and go dry your hair. Don't catch a cold."

Kun's mother interjected in displeasure, "Father, she beat Kun up so badly. Are you going to let her get away with it without even apologizing?"

Upon hearing her words, Lisa turned to look at Kun's injuries before saying with a nod, "It does seem a little serious."

Kun stared at her angrily, waiting to hear her apology.

No matter what happened, she would never forgive her easily!

Lisa shrugged her shoulders and exclaimed innocently, "I'm sorry then!"
