Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657

It was 9 am at the Lodge family’s residence main hall.

It was a serious meeting.

The elders from the branch families sat on either side of a conference table, with Jonathan at the chairman’s seat.

Jonathan occasionally coughed while holding onto the wooden box that kept the most important thing in the family, the family seal.

Lily had intentionally dressed in black, with a severe and gloomy expression.

Jonathan looked at her and was still angry about what had happened yesterday.

However, he was feeling slightly better as Alexander was not present today.

‘This child is not easy to deal with at all! I should find a chance and banish Lily from the family as soon as possible" he thought.

The people present grew restless since most of the family members were already present except for Henry and Justin.

Someone finally could not wait any longer and asked Jonathan, "We’ve been waiting here for more than thirty minutes.Why are Henry and Justin still not here? So, are we supposed to keep waiting?"

"Any time now," Jonathan calmly replied as he blinked slowly.

Since he had spoken, everyone else in the room continued to wait.

No one knew how long he meant by ‘any time now" so they could only wait.

Lily, on the other hand, just waited patiently.

Though he was not looking her straight in the eye, he noticed her smiling back and was dumbfounded.

His smirk froze as his steps waivered.

He soon regained his composure and continued walking toward the front.

Henry cleared his throat before nodding at Jonathan, "Since we're all here, why don’t we start."

Jonathan nodded in agreement as he stood up using his cane.

Henry was on his other side, helping him stand.

"Since we’ve gathered, let’s start the meeting.Everyone here is a Lodge family member, and there are no outsiders among us," he pointed at Lily as he spoke.
