This is a matter of a lifetime.” When Susan proposed the idea of Lily marrying into the Laurier family, Liam refused. Lily had grown up without a mother, raised solely by her grandmother in the countryside. Liam couldn’t bear to see her life dictated by such circumstances. “No,” Lily answered without turning her head. She simply ascended the stairs with Jenny.

The file contained an image of a man—Loid Laurier. Lily’s lips curled slightly as her gaze fixed upon the photo, her expression steely. After a brief pause, Lily closed the file and took a shower. After her shower, Lily received a video call. She answered it as she dried her hair with a towel. “I’ve been exposed,” the man on the other end said.
