Ruth got the address of the apartment from Demi.Maybe out of curiosity, Demi had dropped in as well…After a pause, Abel added, “I bet there are three or more people in the car.”The atmosphere in the car in front was not too good.There were four people in the car.One of them drove while the other three stared at each other.Apollo sat in the front passenger seat and stared fixedly at Galen. His gaze was filled with scrutiny.Demi sat in the back seat and looked at Lily, who was feeling guilty. Her eyes were filled with pain.In the end, she was the first to break the silence.“So, you abandoned your principles in order to ensnare him?”“No, your brother already said that we didn’t stay together last night. He might not have stayed over at all.” Lily carefully smiled, completely unlike her usual arrogant and domineering self.“What?” Demi raised her voice. “You don’t even know the facts. What’s wrong with you? Why are you trying to protect him?”She had rushed over after
“When did I say that I found it troublesome?” Galen interrupted Demi.Demi paused for a moment, unable to react.On the other hand, Lily’s eyes lit up when she heard Galen. She was so bashful that she forgot to keep up her act. She leaned forward and craned her neck over. “So, you don’t think it’s troublesome? You have feelings for me too?”“Nonsense! If he didn’t have any feelings for you, would he have tricked you into going to his residence last night?” Apollo piped up unhappily.Lily’s face was red, and there was a dark glint in her eyes. “That’s true. Besides, he… was very strange this morning!” Apollo and Demi said in unison, “What do you mean?”After Demi asked, she looked at Lily’s bashful expression, and her last bit of hope was extinguished.Her voice cracked.“No, didn’t you say you didn’t stay together last night? I thought Galen didn’t stay over here last night?”Lily sat back in her seat and tugged at the corner of her shirt. She lowered her head and smiled. “He
Back in the car, Lily watched the people on the road get further and further away. She was in a daze.No one knew what she was thinking.“What did I do this morning?” Galen’s cold voice pulled her back to reality.He had to clear things up with her.Lily blinked. “This morning, you noticed that I was starting to think that you brought multiple women to your apartment and you took the initiative to explain. Isn’t that strange?”Galen frowned. “Does that even count?”“Of course! Otherwise, why would you mention Demi? Didn’t you just want me to stay for breakfast?”Galen was silent for a moment. For the first time, he did not deny what she had asserted.Instead, he said, “Are you aware that what you said can easily make people’s imaginations run wild and misunderstand?”Lily looked innocent. “What do you mean? Why didn’t you explain it clearly earlier? What should I do now? Should I call Demi now and explain to her personally?”Galen said, “Forget it.”Lily leaned against the d
Lily did not move for the time being. “Aren’t you coming with me? Are you just dropping me off here?”Galen said lightly, “I still have something to do.”Lily raised her eyebrows and looked at him steadily. He was clearly on leave and did not have any work.Moreover, it seemed that he was really not interested in her. He used the excuse of dropping her off because he was afraid that she would stay at his place, right?Her lips moved, and her smile was a little self-deprecating.She had never dreamed that she would one day be hated like this…However, Lily did not dwell on it. No matter how much she liked him, she would not pester him. It was the same with her exes.Her friend was right. There were plenty of fish in the sea.She was still young, so there was no need for her to cling to Galen.She picked up her bag and got out of the car.After taking two steps, she suddenly thought of something. She turned back and knocked on the window. When the driver’s window rolled down, s
Starlight Court was the apartment that Lily had stayed in last night.Galen was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he could not escape.He pushed open the car door and got out.Ruth went straight to the point and asked if Lily had spent the night at his place last night.Galen nodded and did not deny it.“What about you?” Ruth asked again.Galen knew what she meant and immediately replied, “I went back to the police station last night and made do in the lounge for the entire night.”Ruth’s eyes moved, and her lips curled up. She was polite but distant. “I’m sorry to trouble you then. I’ll keep an eye on her in the future and not let her run around drunk. However, Lily is quite a good drinker. She didn’t take the initiative to pester you, right?”Galen looked at her for a while. “No, she wanted to go back to the Lovehart family, but the Lovehart family is in a dire situation at the moment, and it would not be wise for Lily to go there.”Ruth smiled. “I knew it was strange
However, why did they not know how cunning Lily truly was?……Lily followed the salesperson in and opened up the wedding favor. Her gaze swept across the luxury cars in the exhibition hall.She said lazily, “Get me a Ferrari. I need the best one in the market. I’ll pay for the difference.”The salesperson took the card from her hand and looked at it with a troubled expression. “Madam, I’m sorry. This award exchange event ended yesterday.”Lily turned to look at him in disbelief. “It’s over?”She had thought that they might refuse to change brands.However, he did not expect such an answer.The salesperson looked troubled. “Yes, I’m really sorry.”Lily sized him up. “There’s no deadline mentioned on the card. There’s no deadline mentioned on Mr. and Mrs. Blakewell’s wedding invitation either. There’s no deadline.”Had they run out of gifts?Even if they could, the store in the Imperial City did not have that many cars in stock. It would take no time to transfer them from othe
The manager’s expression did not change as he replied diplomatically, “This is an order from the higher-ups. We’re not sure. However, you made a promise on behalf of our shop…”“Who’s your superior? Call him over.”Lily did not fall for his tricks and could not be bothered to waste her breath on him. The manager was stunned by her overbearing attitude for a moment, but when he thought about how he had already dealt with several difficult customers in the past two days, he was not afraid of this young lady.“Miss, my superiors are following the orders of the headquarters. This decision was made by the higher-ups of the Blakewell Corporation. It’s useless no matter who you look for.”“Is that so?”Lily tilted her head and looked at him. “Are you sure it was the higher-ups’ idea?”The manager smiled. “Of course, our every move represents the Blakewell Corporation’s image. This also affects the Blakewell Corporation’s interests. The decision made by the higher-ups is based on the a
The manager automatically pictured a certain person.A terrifying thought appeared in his mind. He looked at Lily with fear. “Is your cousin…”Lily’s smile was pure and sweet as she pointed at the video in the middle of the hall. “There she is!”Since this was a place where people could redeem prizes with Ruth and Abel’s wedding favors, a video of their wedding was being played on a loop.The manager turned around and happened to see Ruth elegantly getting out of the car.Her lightly made-up face was cold and exquisite, and she had a proud temperament. Her gaze swept over indifferently. The manager’s shoulders trembled for some reason.“How is that possible? Weren’t they supposed to be in the hospital? Why is Mrs. Blakewell here—”Before he could finish speaking, a figure appeared at the entrance of the showroom.The woman was dressed in a light green dress and had a slender figure. She wore a pair of high heels and looked casual and elegant. As she walked in, she took off he
