Chapter 524: Lila Was Seeing A Married Man
Johanna furrowed her brows slightly when she thought of something.
After that, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Lila‘s seeing someone lately."To Janet, this was a perfectly normal thing.
Lila was a beautiful grown woman after all.
"Who is the man?" Janet was curious to learn more.
Lila had always given her the impression that she was picky and choosy when it came to men.
Johanna let out a long sigh.She was very worried about Lila.
"I have no idea. I asked her, but she didn‘t tell me anything about him."
Beal was also a little worried and faltered in his speech, "We should ask her again some other time.What if the guy has bad intentions?"
Feeling depressed, Johanna focused her gaze onto Beal and said, "She wouldn‘t tell me anything, so what could I do about it? She rarely even comes home now."
After having said that, she thought it over for a few seconds and then said, "Let‘s not worry about these kinds of things anymore.Lila‘s a smart girl; I‘m sure she‘s dating an excellent man.If she wants to tell us about her relationship, she will.Don‘t bother asking.She‘ll be annoyed if you ask her too many questions."
After mulling it over in his head for a moment, Beal said, "You‘re absolutely right."
Since Johanna had given this order, no one brought it up again.
*******
Although Janet had heard from her mother that Lila was dating someone, she simply brushes it off and didn‘t ask any more questions.
Two days later, she caught sight of Lila again.
As soon as she got off work and headed home, she spotted a sports car parked right in front of their house.
Wearing a floppy hat with sunglasses on, Lila was dragged into the car by a man.
Through the window, Janet could make out that the two were making out passionately.She recalled that she had seen the man in a magazine before.
That man was none other than Eric Torres, the heir of the Torres family, which was one of the most prominent families in Barnes.
The family was involved in semiconductor production.
The semiconductor industry in Barnes had been going on for a very long time now.
The Torres family happened to be the titans in the industry. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
They were different from the White family, which were engaged in regular real estate matters.
The semiconductor sector, on the other hand, was a pillar industry.
As the only heir of the Torres family, Eric‘s wealth and status were incomparable in Barnes.
But Janet also recalled that she had read about him in the news before.He was in his 30s and already had a wife and a son.It seemed like he was happily married.And now, he was locking lips with Lila passionately, which meant that Lila was his mistress now.
Totally shocked, Janet covered her mouth with her hand and tried to calm down.
As soon as she walked into the house, Johanna noticed that Janet had a dazed look on her face.
"Is there something bothering you at work? Why are you frowning?"
Johanna turned to look at her and smiled gently.
Janet shook her head, still in a state of shock.
She didn‘t want to get herself involved in Lila‘s affairs, but her parents still attached great importance to Lila, and she happened to still be the daughter of the White family, her nominal sister.
If someone found out about this, the White family‘s name would be smeared.
After thinking it over some more, Janet decided to tell Johanna about it.
After all, Lila was still a member of this family.
If the news of her involvement with a married man spread out, it would go on to destroy the family‘s name.
"Mom, I saw Lila outside just now."
"Yes, she was just heading out.She said that she was going to a party.What‘s the matter?"
Johanna studied Janet‘s face seriously and suddenly her face scrunched up into a frown.
"Did you see anything?"
"The man she‘s dating is Eric Torres.I saw them in the car earlier.Eric is a married man.I don‘t think it‘s a good idea for Lila to be fooling around with the likes of him."
She had done everything she could to be implicit with her information.
Johanna was furious.She put down the remote control in her hand and said to the servant, "Call Lila home right away!"
"I had initially thought it would be good for Lila to be in a relationship.How could she do something like this? Getting involved with a married man?" Beal said rather unhappily.
*******
Lila was going on a date when she was called home.She was very unhappy about this.She had no idea what had happened.
When she returned home, she snapped at her parents, "Dad, Mom, why did you ask me to come back just now? I was having fun with my friends."
Lila‘s voice sounded a little angry, but when she thought back to the fact that her position in this family wasn‘t as high as before, she held herself back a little.However, the whole White family was silent and no one spoke a word.
Beal and Johanna sat on the sofa with serious expressions on their faces.
Johanna‘s face darkened noticeably.
Beal questioned her, "Lila White! Is there really something going on between you and Eric Torres?"
