Miles' face immediately darkened. He turned to Liliana and demanded, "Is what Mr. Lloyd said true?"

Liliana felt her chest tighten and snapped at Andrew, "You seriously ran off and ratted on me?"

Andrew chuckled coldly. "Nope. I said it right to your face. Didn't hide a thing."

Liliana choked on her words. "You..."

Miles' voice dropped, razor-sharp. "Liliana, pack your things and get your ass home. Then, go straight to Dad and tell him what you did. And after that, you'll buy something decent and take it to Mr. Lloyd's house to formally apologize."

Liliana felt utterly humiliated and screamed, "Miles, I won't do it! Even if this guy is some kind of chairman, I'm still the heiress of the Peck family. Who is he to demand an apology from me?"

Miles flew into a rage and slapped her hard across the face. "Shut up, you stupid brat. If you insult Mr. Lloyd again, I swear I'll stop treating you like a sister and beat some sense into you right now."

Holding her stinging cheek, Liliana was completely in disbelief as tears poured from her eyes. "You hit me? Even Dad couldn't bear to hit me, but you actually hit me? Miles, you might be afraid of him, but I'm not. Just wait and see!"

Sobbing hysterically, Liliana turned and ran back into the club, tears pouring down her face.
