Kicked Out, She Came Back To Rule - Chapter 231: Chapter 231

Devin opened his mouth. He seemed to have guessed what Tobias was thinking, but he didn't want to ask or say anything, because he was afraid of being forcibly force-fed his display of affection toward Kaia.
Just as Devin was thinking this, Tobias suddenly looked up and, with a glance, signaled him to hurry up and ask.
Devin wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Um, boss, what... What are you thinking about?"
Tobias showed a rather satisfied expression, "I was just wondering how Kaia is doing in the Bennett family now? Is she being bullied?"
Hearing this, Devin's lips curved into an acknowledged smile.
"With Miss Bennett's ability, she shouldn't be bullied. Besides, Frank went there, didn't he? With him there, nothing will go wrong."
"Frank..." Tobias muttered.
Devin's heart skipped a beat, and then began to pound.
"Frank, what... What's wrong with him?" Devin asked.
Tobias narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "He's not simple."
Devin tensed up, muttering in his heart, 'Of course he's not simple. He's Joel.'

Penny's mother, Lilian's birthday approached.
Kaia went to the Sharp family early in the morning.
"Kaia, come on, my mom has been wanting to meet you for a long time." Penny happily pulled Kaia to Lilian.
"Kaia, you're finally here. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."
Lilian took Kaia's hand, her eyes full of affection as she looked at Kaia.
Lilian said, "As you can see, I am rather frail and often unwell, so I rarely attend gatherings within our circle. That is why, until now, I have only heard of you but have never met you."
Kaia laughed. "I have a bad reputation."
"What nonsense?" Lilian frowned. "I don't believe what outsiders say. Rumors are groundless. I only believe what my family says.
"Penny likes you, my husband also appreciates you, so that means you are a good person. As for those who distort the truth or gossip without knowing the facts, they are the ones who are truly bad."
Although this was the first time Kaia met Lilian, she was deeply touched by these words.
"Come and sit at the main table with me." Lilian pulled Kaia down to sit.
Penny deliberately pouted, "Mom, now that you have Kaia, do you not want your own daughter anymore?"
"You, are you even jealous of this?" At this point, Lilian suddenly turned to look at Kaia. "Speaking of daughters, Penny mentioned to you before that I wanted to take you as my goddaughter, right?"
Kaia nodded. "She said that before."
"Well, what do you say?" Lilian stared at Kaia with her big eyes, looking expectant.
Kaia could see that Lilian really liked her. Considering Penny, and considering Lilian's words just now, Kaia nodded again.
Kaia said, "Mrs. Sharp, if you don't mind, I would like to be your goddaughter."
"Great! Great!" Lilian waved her hands excitedly, looking at Penny and Donald.
Lilian said, "Penny, honey, did you hear that? Kaia wants to be my goddaughter. Now I have two daughters. This is great!"
Seeing Lilian so happy that she lost her composure, Donald helplessly rubbed his forehead and said, "There are still so many guests here; please be a little more mindful of your image."
Lilian retorted, "I have a daughter—what kind of image am I supposed to maintain? Can't I express my happiness? Mind your own business. When you smoke and drink, I never interfere with you! And last time—"
"Fine, I was wrong," Donald said.
