Chapter 328 - Second Plan (2)

"Ma\'am she is sitting on the inside lawns. The function is about to get over. We must hurry up to catch her," Bree replied breathlessly. She was still feeling very weak. "She is such a nightmare. She insulted me, she insulted you when I said that this course belongs to you and then she was so jealous and angry with me that she went ahead to poison me. Can you imagine? That girl doesn\'t understand that she was kicked out of the family!"

Lily didn\'t speak a word but she hurried to the lawns as much as her feet could take her. Bree was walking beside her only as slowly. When they reached the lawns, they saw Dawn sitting in the front and Daryn was still giving his speech.

Lily said in a strict voice, "Here, hold my hand and take me to Dawn."

"Yes Ma\'am," said Bree. "You must give her a good one. The way she insulted you in front of the media—it was simply horrible. She doesn\'t have any regards to the Wyatt family. I am so sad as to how she has brought down everyone over a period of a few months only because she wanted to avenge you all. I still feel so gloomy about Helena and Anne. They were such lovely people." Bree wanted to add as much fuel to the fire as possible.

Dawn was watching Daryn speak and was mesmerized by him. Her mate always made her feel like he owned the world. His tall and broad frame and dominance that oozed out of every pore of his body were some of the reasons why she was attracted to him. When the man spoke, the crowd was silent. Her trance broke.

"Hello Dawn," a familiar voice made her turn sharply to the left. When she saw who the person was, she had a knot in her stomach. And when she saw who had accompanied her, her face twisted into a mocking smile.

"Hello Grandmother," she replied exhaling heavily. So Bree had informed Lily Wyatt about her presence.

Bree gestured to a server to bring a chair for Lily. When Lily sat down, she looked at Daryn speaking. He was about to finish the speech.

"So how are you doing?" asked Lily as she leaned her stick on the table. All the other people on the table looked towards her. They all knew who she was. Wyatt\'s family history was no secret.

"I am doing good," replied Dawn in a clipped tone, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Why are you talking like this to your Grandmother?" said Bree. "You are so shameless!"

People on the table were aghast at this change of behavior of Bree. They stared at her.

Bree continued, "Ma\'am you can see how shameless this girl is? She came here only to show that she gives a damn to you and to her father\'s legacy. You should throw her out of this place immediately. None of us here like her. It\'s only because of Mr. Silver that we are tolerating her." Bree spoke brazenly because she knew that Daryn\'s speech was about to get over. The function was about to finish and all the money was already paid, so speaking like that to Dawn wasn\'t going to make any difference. Lily\'s reaction was her second plan.

Lily took in a deep breath and snapped, "Will you shut up?"

Bree stared at her for a minute and as if not believing what she had just asked, said, "Dawn is here to insult you and your legacy. She is here to insult Luke Wyatt. You must surely not allow this ma\'am. I have been working here for so long and I haven\'t seen a day like this. No one has dared to insult you like this woman here!" Bree pointed at Dawn.

Daryn\'s speech ended.

Suddenly Lily Wyatt got up from her place and she slapped Bree across her face. "I asked you to shut up, Manager Bree!"

Bree held her cheek as she looked at Lily with bulging eyes. Her body movement froze as to what happened just now. In a shaky voice she said, "Ma\'am… wh— what was th— that?" She didn\'t know where to look, feeling utterly embarrassed and insulted. "I just told you that she insulted you. You must ask her to leave this premise and never return."

Another slap. This time Bree staggered. "What are you doing?" she shrieked. "I will sue you!"

Lily lifted her finger and snarled, "If you speak one more word, I will sue you for spoiling my Granddaughter\'s reputation."

Bree blinked blankly at Lily as if to reaffirm what she was hearing. Had the old woman gone mad?

Lily looked at Dawn who had tilted her head to watch the drama. Dawn quipped, "You look pale. Something wrong?"

There was a deathly silence in the lawn. Daryn walked over to them and he stood behind Dawn as if to protect her. He removed his dark shades for the first time during the day and glared at Bree. He had heard what she said while he was giving his speech and he was short of taking his claws out and gutting her.

"Forgive me Dawn," said Lily when she saw the scowl on Daryn\'s face. "This Manager here doesn\'t know that you will be taking over the reins of the Wyatt Empire soon."

"What?" Bree sounded incredulous. Lily\'s statement was so shocking that she was winded. She held the chair in front of her for support.

Lily gave her a sharp glance as she clenched her jaw. "Dawn is the owner of this place and will soon be taking over as the CEO of the Company. And you dared to insult her?"

Whatever blood Bree had on her face, drained. She looked past Lily to see Niall who was hiding behind a pillar, but even she was just as stunned.

Lily turned to Dawn and her eyes softened. "So when are you joining?"

Her disposition lessened Daryn\'s tension and his shoulders relaxed. He held his wife\'s waist in a gesture of possession.

Seeing the situation, the emcee asked the guests to have lunch. However, since the function was over, most of them bade goodbyes to leave.

Ever since Bree had called her, Lily had been extremely eager to meet Dawn. She had been avoiding her calls and it was important that she took over the business. With her health not improving, Lily was waiting everyday to talk to Dawn. So how could she let this golden opportunity go? She rushed to the golf course to meet her.

Dawn bit her lower lip and chuckled seeing Bree\'s expressions.

Lily intervened, "If you want we can throw this Manager out at this instant."

The second plan failed miserably. Bree was hoping that Lily would hold Dawn\'s hand and drag her out of the golf course and then the media would click pictures, but it went just the opposite. Now Lily recommended Dawn to throw her out instead. And Dawn was the owner of the golf course?

Dawn ignored that statement and said, "I will join from tomorrow." She was aware that the main reason why Lily even showed up was because her business needed to be steered.

And she was the rightful heir.

There was a huge smile on Lily\'s face.

"As for Bree, let her be the Manager for now," said Dawn. Because this way she would be able to make her life miserable for what she had done to her so far.

Lily scowled at Bree. "You may leave now!"

Shaking like a dry leaf, Bree left with tears flowing down.
