With her face buried in her hands, Shannon sobbed pitifully. “Mrs. Laurier, Lily said she doesn’t want me to stay here. She only agreed to let me shy to leave a good impression you I just said 1 wanted to take care of her, but she hit me!!
Shannon’s petite frame and delicate features made her seem myn more vulnerable as she sobbed uncontrollably. However, the people around her saw through her act
“Lily, you used to get into fights and skip class back at school, and our family would always clean the mess up for you. But this is someone else’s home. You can’t just let your temper get the better of you” Shannon sobbed even harder.
“Then just pack your things and go back home,” Melanie sald Melanie was no fool. She saw right through shannon’s act.
She couldn’t even be bothered to expose such a poor act, Shannon was stunned, her face filed with disbelief.
she had never expected Melanie to be so fond of Lily
Shannon assumed that a family as prestigious as the Lauriers would never tolerate any blemishes on their daughter–in–law’s reputation. That was why she deliberately
chestrated things this way, hoping to make Melle despise Lily.
Little did she know that Melanie wouldn’t even bother confronting Lily. Meknie simply dismissed her without a second thought, which was completely unacceptable
Now that she had finally secured her place in Laurier Residence, she was determined not to let the tated scheme force her out.
Suppressing her emotions, Shannon hastily replied, “Melanie, 1 forgive Lily even though she hit me. We’re sisters, and we should help each other. I’ll make sure to be more obedient and take care of Lily’s needs from now OIL”
Lily furrowed her brows in experti
Was Shannon taking them all for book?
It was clear that everyone disked her, yet she persisted in staying and caning trouble.
Shannon’s mood swings ledi Melanie speechless. Just moments ago, Shannon accused Liyothirring it, yet none she was acting as if they were the closest of sisters.
Hanning encountered many manipulative people in her life, Melanie quickly recognized Shannon’s scheming nature. This was the first time someone had been so open about it Thus, Melanie wondered what could possibly be going on in Shannon’s mind
“ne, you can help your sister more on in the futurelanie decided to keep Sharon around.
It was clear that Lily had a fiery temper, and Shannon would have a tough time she stayed
If Shannon wanted to make things difficult for herself, then Melania would be happy to oblige
After charting briefly with Lily, Melanie decided to leave.
Just as she was about to depart, something suddenly came to her mind. She turned back to Shannon and said, “Oh, by the way, your sister isn’t just someone else. She’s part of the Laurier family, the daughter–in–law of the prestigious Laurier family”
Shannon immediately lowered her head, biting her lip tightly.
Loid had originally intended to show Lily around the area, burshe declined.
“I’m going to the hospital,” she said. It had been the six days since her arrival in Lagersfield City, yet she had not visited her grandmother.
Lihrilled out her cap and put it on. She often recaps to keep her face hidden from others.
,“Loid said without hesitation, reaching naturally for taly’s bied.
“I go with you,”
Lilypaused for a moment as she lowered her gaze. Loid’s hand was warm while hersey. As he held her hand, a comforting warmth spread over her skin, bringing a strangely soothing sensation.
Without a word, she lingered for a few seconds before following Loideut. Neither of them acknowledged Shannon
As they reached the door, Shannon suddenly spoke up, “Why, I’ll go with you to visit Grandma. She’s been in Lagersfieldfor so long, and I haven’t visited her yet.”
Shannon’s intentions were far from puer. She simply wanted to be around Cold at all times.
“Get list “Lily snapped, her brows furrowing in annoyance.
Lily had been in a relatively good mood earlier, which was why she went along with Shannon’s charades. Moreover, Shannon was the one courting disaster, so she was more than willing to indulge her
Now, Shannon wordenly expressed a desire to visit her grandmother. Lily was taken aback. “With what audacity Does she even deserve to?” she thought.
“Lily?” Shannon was stunned, tears welling up in her eyel
She couldn’t believe that Lily would humiliate her in front of Lald.
Lily lowered her head without even glancing at Shannon, then turned around and left.
Lokd cast a cold glance at Shannon, his thin lips parting slightly as he said in a flattane, “Ms. Martinez, if you’re fine, please start preparing dinner.”
When Lold paused, Shannon assumed he was about to speak up for her. Instead, he instructed her to prepare dinner.
A surge of anger welled up within Shannen, but she forced a smile and replied, “Alright.”
Lily and Leid had just settled into the car when a luxurious vehicle pulled up to the villa’s trance Shan and Daniel erged from the ear
“Loid,
old, where an
are you guys off to?”
who had business with Loid, noticed they were about to leave as soon as he arrived.
“The hospital,” Loid replied, his eyes lifting slightly. “Something up?
“You’re going to visit Lily’s grandmother?1’ll come along.” Shaun knew the moment he heard the word ‘hospital‘ that they were going to visit Lily’s grandmother.
Yesterday, Lily demonstrated remarkable medical skills that left Loid utterly astounded. Furthermore, Loid’s life seemed to hang precariously In Lily’s hands, prompting him to feel compelled to appease her.
Perhaps one day, Lily would be willing to cure Loid’s illness.
However, Lily had a bad temper. She was frequently cold and agitated, and even her smiles carried a hint of unsettling malice. Her laughter seemed to portend impending
misfortune for someone.
This trait eerily resembled Loid’s Whenever he smiled, it meant something was about to happen.
“These two are really made for each other. They have the exact same personality,” Shaun thought.
“Count me in,” Daniel agreed with Shaun.
Without waiting for Loid’s response, they both hopped into the car. “Loid, I’ll drive,” Daniel declared, snatching the keys from Loid’s grasp.
Loid raised an eyebrow but made no objection.
Lily barely acknowledged Shaun and Daniel as she engrossed herself in her phone.
Halfway through their journey, Shaun suddenly remembered something and asked, “Lily, your medical skills are so impressive. Why didn’t you treat your grandmother’s illness?” Lily’s ability to cure the Bloodbane poison suggested she possessed the means to heal her grandmother’s illness as well. However, Lily seemed to prefer letting her grandmother stay in the hospital rather than treat her illness. This choice puzzled those around her
Lily’s fingers paused for a moment, her gaze lifting slightly. Her voice was cold and firm as she replied, “I can’t cure her.”
“What? There’s a disease you can’t cure?” Shaun exclaimed in disbelief.
As Shadowbane’s apprentice, Lily must have inherited his medical skills. If she couldn’t cure the illness herself, she could always seek shadowbane’s help. How could she not be able to cure her grandmother’s illness?
If Shadowbane couldn’t cure this disease, then the doctors in the city center were even less likely to succeed.
Lily lowered her gaze. Her eyes were now clouded with a dark determination.
Shaun felt intimidated by Lily’s demeanor. He swallowed nervously and asked,
- “What illness does your grandmother have?”
“She was poisoned,” Lily said, her voice as cold as ice as she lifted her head
