Chapter 48
âBridgeportâs Weiss family?â
Lily pursed her lips. âHow do we get it?â
âItâs not for sale. Apparently, the Weiss family plans to auction it off. The Weiss family isnât doing as well as they once did. Their funds are running low. They want to recover more of their money through the auction,â Elliot said
After a pause, he continued, âI heard that when the Weisses put the word out, many expressed interest in the auction right away. Furthermore, all of those individuals have high social standing. Even certain elusive families are on the move.â
Lily narrowed her eyes, her expression cold. âHow many does the Weisses have?â
âOneâ hot browned. âThe exact time of the auction is unknown, but the starting bid has been leaked. Itâs one billion dollars.â
âIs it possible to acquire an admission ticket? Lily looked down. Her voice was somewhat hoarse.
âAlchos can easily get that.â
âalright, thank youâ Lily nabbed her forehead. She wondered if the amount of money on her card would be enough.
The starting bid was one billion dollars. Even with ten billion dollars, she might not be able to get it
Moreover, those reclusive families had been alerted. That made obtaining it much more difficult
Elbot sighed. âYou donât have to thank me for that. Youâre a member of Alchos, K. Youâre our family. Whatever happens, you have the entire agency to back you up.â There was a pause, and Elliot added, âAlso, you donât need to worry about the money. Weâll put together enough for you.ââ
âNo need âLily forrowed her brows. âGive me all of the work if there is any.â
It appeared that she needed to make some money.
rdays.â
Ar that, Elliot laughed âThe Kknown for treating money like dirt is actually asking for work because of money. If Panther and the others find out, theyâll be laughing for a Llyfrowned. âYou talk way too much.
When she hung up, the class was already over
Lily put her phone in her pocket and walked out.
When she reached the entrance of the bathroom, she bumped into Shannon, who was about to enter
âLily?â Shannon was clearly surprised to see Lily here.
Something came up at home in the morning, so she wasnât at school she had just arrived and hadnât heard about Lilyâs deeds yet.
âDo you need anything?â Lily lined her gaze. Her eyes were quite cold.
Lilyâs icy demeanor annoyed Shannon the most. Shannonâs eyes glinted before she quickly concealed her emotions. With a smile, she said, âYouâre at school. Did Loid help you with the enrollment?â
Shannon didnât believe Lily could get a recommendation letter from Joseph. Besides, Liam had yet to use his connections to help her enroll, so Shannon assumed Lily could get in because of Loid.
Lily said nothing. She quirked a brow as she looked at Shannon
âLoid is quite impressive. Heâs even able to convince the principal. Lily, since Loid helped you get in, you should work hard to prove yourself. Donât embarrass the Martinez family.
Shannon sounded earnest. All her words seemed to be spoken out of concem for Lily.
Lily smiled, yet it wasnât genuine. âThe Martinez family⦠Whatâs it got to do with me
Shannon stiffened. Holding bark her anger, she continued to smile. âI know youâre upset that Mom abandoned you back then. During all those years, Iâve been living a pampered life while you were suffering in the village.
âBut thatâs what our parents did. Weâre still biological sisters. Stop being so distant with me, please?â
Shannon pursed her lips before continuing, âBesides, Mom is trying her best to make it up to you just forgive her. She didnât mean what she said that day.â
Lily lifted her chin slightly. There was a cold glint in her eyes, and her voice was chilling. âWho is she to deserve my forgiveness?â
âLilyâ Tears welled up in shannonâs eyes, making her look pitiable. âEven though sheâs made mistakes, she gave you life.â
Lilycouldnât be bothered to continue this conversation. âMove.â
Shannon refused, so Lily shoved her side and left without looking back
After Lily left, a girl standing beside Shannon asked, âShannon, who is she? Sheâs quite beautiful She seems a bit arrogant, though.â
Another girl chimed in, âYeah You said you were sisters?â
Shannon lowered her head, looking quite aggrieved. âSheâs my halfâsister, Lily Brooks. We share the same mother, Something happened in our family when we were children, so she grew up in a village. She has just been brought back, but she hates me and our mom.â
She heaved a sigh. Iâm not even sure when sheâll forgive us.â
âThatâs not even your fault. As one of the girls spoke, something occurred to her. She exclaimed in shock, âYou said her name is Lily Brooks?â
