Chapter 416 The Lie About the Hairpins

Chapter 416 The Lie About the Hairpins.

“Mom, things were so dangerous last night. Why would you go back just to grab those cat–shaped hairpins you gave Lily?”

Bodger furrowed his brow, looking at his mother with a mix of confusion and pain. “I know you can’t let Lily go. Those hairpins were her birthday present. You didn’t want to see them destroyed in the fire.”

“But come on–how could a pair of hairpins be worth your life? How could you…”

Hairpins?

When had she ever gone back for a pair of cat–shaped hairpins?

But hearing Bodger say that brought the memory back. She did remember those diamond cat hairpins.

She gave them to Lily for her eighth birthday.

But when Lily turned eighteen, she had seen it herself–Mathilda, who had just returned to the Ginger family, snatched them from Lily’s hands.

“Mom, you really shouldn’t have gone back for those hairpins.”

“If you hadn’t gone back for them, you wouldn’t be this badly hurt. You care so much about Lily, and she doesn’t even care enough to visit you…”

Listening to her sons vent their anger at Lily, Luna finally began to piece things together.
