Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law
Chapter 942 - 39: Making Amends
The next day, Lia hadn't gotten up yet when she heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
Violet replied from outside: "Sis, it's me."
Lia frowned, wondering why her little sister was knocking on her door so early.
Was the lesson she gave her yesterday not enough?
Lia felt annoyed, but got up to open the door for Violet and asked coolly, "Knocking on my door so early, what's up?"
Violet had put on a simple long dress today, her long hair cascading down, which looked quite pretty. She wasn't wearing any makeup, her youth was her asset, she could still look radiant without it, carrying an LV bag.
"Sis, Dad said he's having breakfast at the hotel. I think the food at this hotel isn't great, so the breakfast probably won't be good either. Let's go out to eat?" Violet smiled sweetly, walking past Lia and entering the room.
After being taught a lesson all day yesterday, Violet finally understood that Lia was no longer someone she could bully easily. Well, she never really gained anything from bullying Lia in the past either. Didn't she always lose more?
It's just that she could cry to her parents, complain, and have them stand up for her, while Lia couldn't.
Mom's suggestion was indeed feasible. Violet decided that even if she had to act, she would do it thoroughly. She needed to get along well with Lia so that she could follow Lia into the Horne Family in the future. Even if she couldn't have Ivan, marrying another Horne Family young master wouldn't be bad. As long as she got into the Horne Family, her future of wealth and prosperity was assured.
Lia closed the door and walked back with her sister, speaking in a cold tone, "I'm not picky. The hotel has a buffet restaurant; I'll just grab something to eat there. If you think the hotel's breakfast isn't good, then go eat by yourself. There's a street nearby with quite a few restaurants."
Violet sat down on her own, her voice still sweet, even carrying a hint of a playful tone, begging, "Sis, why don't you come with me to eat? My treat. Going out by myself would be so boring."
"Ring ring ring..."
Lia's phone rang.
She went over to pick up the phone and saw it was Lena calling, so she answered. Lena's voice was immediately filled with grievance: "Sister Lia."
"What's wrong?"
"I got reprimanded by my big brother after you guys left yesterday." Lena said with grievance, "Last night, after he came home, he reprimanded me again. Didn't I just ask him to take care of you when you were in G City? Was it necessary for him to scold me like this?"
Lena was lying. Initially, Ivan felt his sister was a bit cheeky, but after falling for Lia, he didn't blame his sister anymore. Instead, he appreciated her for being supportive behind the scenes.
So, he actually never reprimanded his sister.
Now Lia knew that Ivan was very fond of Lena, so she didn't believe Ivan would punish Lena.
She smiled lightly, "Lena, be honest with me. Calling me so early, what's the matter?"
Lena pursed her lips, "Sister Lia, you're as smart as my brother."
Then she said, "Sister Lia, I admit I deliberately advised you to visit G City just to pair you up with my brother. I did plot against you; it's true you're not angry, which shows your generosity. But I did plot against you, which is a fact, so I owe you an apology. Starting today, I'm on summer break, so I have time to invite you to breakfast and apologize to you."
Turns out it was another breakfast invitation.
Lia chuckled, "No need, I'm not mad at you. The hotel has breakfast; I'll grab something there. Lena, don't worry about it, I'm really not mad at you."
Thinking about it, Lia realized there likely aren't too many people who would be angry about this. After all, Ivan is the renowned heartthrob of T City and is single, with many women probably chasing after him.
"Sister Lia, if you refuse to let me treat you to breakfast, it means you're still mad at me." Lena said petulantly, "Sister Lia, shall I come pick you up? The hotel's breakfast isn't good; my family's breakfast is delicious. I even cooked it myself. Please, come have breakfast at my house, not my brother's house."
Lia laughed, "I'm not afraid of your brother. You can cook?"
Lena is the little princess of the Horne Family, pampered by all her older brothers. The Horne Family is the top aristocratic family in T City, so why would she need to cook?
"Yes, I love cooking. Sister Lia, will you come? I'll come over to pick you up right now. If you don't come, all my effort would be wasted. I got up early just to make breakfast." Lena said in a pitiful tone, as if Lia not coming was a big grievance.
Lia was helpless, "Send me your home address, and I'll take a cab myself. You don't need to come over."
Ultimately unable to resist Lena, that little enchanting devil.
Unknowingly, Lia had come to cherish and pamper Lena as if she were her own sister.
Lena laughed on the phone, knowing that if she personally asked, she would definitely get Lia to agree.
She smiled sweetly, saying, "Sister Lia, I know which hotel you're staying at. I've already arranged for a driver to come over; he's probably arriving soon. Quickly change clothes, apply some makeup, and when he arrives at your hotel, he'll call you, then you can take his car over."
Lena had planned everything thoroughly.
Didn't her brother say that her mission wasn't complete? She knew his real intention was to make her the perfect wingman.
She truly liked Sister Lia very much and hoped Sister Lia would become her sister-in-law.
"Alright."
Lia couldn't refuse Lena's goodwill any longer.
Lena satisfied hung up the phone.
"Sis, who was that? Are you going to have breakfast with her?" Violet had heard the whole conversation between Lia and Lena, though she didn't know who Lena was or what was being said, she knew it was related to breakfast. "Sis, can I come with you?"
Determined to please her sister, Violet boldly asked.
Lia glanced at her, "My junior made breakfast for me; you probably don't want to go." Violet had a look of disdain when she saw Lena yesterday.
Upon learning it was with Lena, Violet hesitated.
Lena's attitude towards her wasn't good, and Violet looked down on Lena as a poor kid. Going with Lia, she'd get nothing out of it. After thinking for a while, Violet said, "Then I'll stay at the hotel and have breakfast with Dad. Sis, you go ahead."
Lia knew this would be the outcome.
She said coolly, "I need to change clothes. Lena arranged a car waiting for me at the hotel entrance. You go back first."
Violet responded with a nod, stood up to leave, then after taking two steps, apologized to Lia, "Sis, I'm sorry for yesterday."
Lia just glanced at her, not responding.
"Sis, I promise I won't treat you like before anymore. Can you forgive me?" Determined to win Lia over, Violet decided to sincerely apologize for her future prosperity, even if temporarily.
