At that ti, llisa still didn't know who had hurt her. She hadn't investigated whoever was secretly supporting Leila from behind. llisa didn't dare to co back. It's hard to guarantee that she wouldn't die again.
In the Mayer Family, her grandfather's favorite grandkid was her. But there was also a bunch of business in the Mayer Family that needed to be resolved. Even if llisa asked the Mayer Family for help, it wasn't the best way to solve her problem.
What's more, her grandfather had retired from his military service. In recent years, his physical condition had been very poor. All the affairs of the Mayer Family had long been left to their eldest son. From the Mayer Family's point of view, llisa was an outsider.
After that year's accident, llisa carefully considered the next step she needed to take. In the end, she chose to give up on going ho and fought alone in a big world.
To be precise, soone had been helping her secretly in the past five years. But that person never showed their identity to llisa. She didn't know who it was or what their purpose was. That person had indeed saved her from the burning car. They also sent llisa to the hospital to recuperate. Even so, llisa couldn't find any traces of the mysterious helper.
Her savior hid in the dark, and reached out to her in their own way. As llisa thought about this, she suddenly realized that the person had not contacted her in over two months. After llisa thought carefully, the person who had helped her disappeared after she t Lilia. That person sotis asked llisa to do sothing for them, but now they never contacted her again.
At this mont, llisa was silent for a long ti while still imrsed in her deep thought. From Caleb's point of view, he captured his granddaughter's grief.
Caleb sighed heavily as he put his cane on his knee. Then he took Lilia and llisa's hands, and put their palms on his own.
"Okay, llisa, you don't have to worry anymore. Grandpa is here with you now. Let's see who still dares to ss with you! I won't let my granddaughter to be bullied by outsiders for no reason!" Caleb said full of confidence.
His words brought a broad smile to llisa's face.
"Don't give up on the Irwan Family!" Caleb continued fiery. "Incidentally, Lilia was also found again. When Grandpa returns to Jakarta, we will have a banquet for both of you. I want everyone to know that you and Lilia are my grandchildren!"
Caleb's words jolted llisa out of her reverie, as if she had just thought of sothing shocking. Her face was a little pale and her eyes were fixed briefly on Caleb's face. Without saying anything, llisa lowered her head and nodded.
llisa was determined that Lilia's identity must be clarified for her own good. There was a lot of malicious speculation on the Internet, and it's ti to give them a strong counterattack.
Caleb took turns looking at llisa and Lilia. They were his grandchildren. But they had very opposite characteristics.
This old man was a war general. He once had blood on his hands and spilled so blood for the holand. He was an upright and resolute person, the type to be the most uncomfortable with academics and the likes who were full of cunning tricks like the Irwan Family. According to him, the children from the Mayer family must be brave and upright. And llisa had been a tough kid since childhood.
When Caleb looked at Lilia again, the old man's sharp pupils could catch a glimpse of the elegance in the woman's face. That grace felt natural and couldn't be taught by others.
Caleb realized that Lilia's eyes were clear and her gaze was straight. There was no pretense in it like Leila, who deliberately put on a sweet smile in front of others but did so dirty tricks behind their back.
When Caleb judged a person, he looked at their determination and strength. And both were found in Lilia and llisa. After thinking about this, Caleb narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I heard that Leila was sent back to her biological family?"
llisa and Lilia nodded at the sa ti.
Caleb could only sneer, "Sure enough, that is the gentle style of the Irwan Family. Didn't they also leave you without any explanation? Janice has been assimilating in the Irwan Family for years and forgot our family principles! What a disappointing child!"
When Caleb talked about his disappointnt towards Janice, the sisters didn't say anything. Even though she was their birth mother, her style of doing things did not inherit their grandfather's strength and speed. However, as Janice's daughters, the two of them had no reason to badmouth their own mother's na.
*****
After this heart-to-heart chat, Caleb enjoyed lunch at the Lakeside Villa with his two grandchildren. His health wasn't that good lately, so he went to the guest room to take a short break after eating.
On this occasion, Stefani sat in the living room and looked at Caleb's two granddaughters in front of her. Her gaze was fixed on Lilia's figure and they were filled with curiosity.
"To be honest, I was shocked when I heard that Lilia and Young Master Jean were married. When did your wedding take place? Was it last year?" Stefani asked kindly.
Lilia looked up and shook her head in response. "No, unfortunately I've been too busy with my work all this ti, so the wedding party has been postponed,"
She deliberately left out the part that she didn't intend to have a wedding party. Even though the problem with her family background had been resolved, Lilia didn't plan to let the Irwan family be known as the Widjaya family's in-law.
"When will the party be held?" But Stefani did not catch Lilia's aning and continued to ask with an innocent face. "I just heard what the old man said, that he wanted to have a big party to celebrate your sister's return. Wouldn't it be better to announce it when..."
Before Stefani could finish speaking, Jean appeared behind Lilia and imdiately interrupted her. "We have other arrangents for the wedding, so Auntie doesn't have to worry about that," he said in a calm voice.
Even though Jean pronounced the sentence neatly, his aning was clear. This was his business with Lilia as husband and wife, so there was no need for outsiders to interfere.
Hearing that, Stefani's expression froze for a mont. But she imdiately smiled and replied, "Ah, I see. I'm just trying to give you a suggestion. I know young people arrange things on their own so it won't bother an old woman like to talk much."
At this point, the atmosphere in the living room beca a little awkward.
Lilia heard from Jean that Stefani was indeed the aunt of Irene, her sister-in-law. But they hadn't been in touch for nearly 30 years. During that ti, Stefani worked as a personal nurse for Grandpa Caleb.
When his wife died, Caleb unexpectedly used Stefani as her replacent. Even though the marriage between them did not take place, it caused quite a sensation at that ti.
When Caleb took Stefani as a substitute for his wife, the old man was over 65 years old. But Stefani was in her early forties. Of course many people opposed Caleb's decision, but the old man refused to listen to them.
Even the entire Mayer family was full of problems.
Today, Stefani and Caleb were able to appear at the Lakeside Villa because Jean took the initiative to contact his sister-in-law Irene.. It was only thanks to that woman that they could gather in a eting like this.
