Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1267: That's not in the plan!

As the night deepened, the nightlife grew even livelier. Glasses were emptied by the minute, and alcohol intake increased. Laughter harmonized with the loud music as people danced, letting loose for a night of escape.

Known for throwing unforgettable parties, Lily was in her element.

"Ahh... I'm drunk!" Lily announced, flopping down next to Ginnie. Turning to her with a mischievous grin, she exclaimed, "Ginnie, hug!"

Without hesitation, Lily threw herself into Ginnie's arms. "Ginnie, you're so soft... how can you be so soft when your chest is flat?!"

"What?!" Ginnie, equally tipsy, gasped. "Lily, you're drunk, but that's mean!"

"But you are soft!" Lily persisted, tightening her embrace. "Ginnie, let's get married. Even though I said I'd be the rich aunt on holidays, I wouldn't mind not being the rich, single aunt!"

"Hey!" Hugo interjected, pointing at Lily. "Lily, are you crazy!? You promised to be the godmother of my kids!"

"Pffft —!" Grace stifled her laughter, watching Lily with amusement.

"Senior Hugo, don't worry," Lily replied, frowning at him. "Ginnie and I would divorce before you even find someone willing to have kids with you!"

"Oh..." Hugo blinked, scratching his head. "Well, you might have a point. I don't think Ginnie would last long as your lover."

"That's mean!" Lily pouted, looking up at Ginnie. "Ginnie, I think Senior Hugo is bullying me!"

Ginnie, with effort, opened her eyes and glanced between Lily and Hugo. "Oh," she nodded slowly, then changed the subject. "So, what's going on between Hugo and Grace?"

"She's my aunt," Hugo pointed at Grace with his thumb, then turned to her. "Aunty, you know I make bad financial decisions. Can you lend me a penny?"

"I would," Grace nodded, "but only after I get married."

"Oh, wow..." Hugo shook his head, turning back to Lily and Ginnie. "Hey, Lily!"

Lily, barely keeping her eyes open, looked up. "What?"
