Chapter 88
Loid, who was fond of Lily, not only helped her to enroll in Ember Creek but also showered her with money. Melanie, too, seemed to like Lily a lot despite her flaws. Melanie seemed to have set her mind that Lily was her future daughterâinâlaw
Now, even the Class 15 students were fond of Lily. Shannon was driven crazy as she slowly lost all her possessions to Lily. She wouldnât tolerate that.
Hence, she bit the bullet and held Lilyâs hand. Smiling, she remarked, âLily, weâre family. Our family will be upset if they learn that we got into trouble at school. Youâve just gotten engaged to Loid, right?
âHeâll be unhappy to learn about this conflict too. Ladmit that Shelby is in the wrong here. Iâll make her apologize to you. How does that sound?â
Lily shook off Shannonâs hand with hostility. She questioned, âAnd how would you know whatâs going on in Loidâs head?â
Then, she added with a sarcastic smile, âOh, right. He used to be your fiance, but I took him from you.â
âLily, thatâs not what I meant I never said anything of that sort,â Shannon argued.
Despite her resentment, she had to take a kind persona
âThat doesnât matterâ Lily spun around and stated into Shannonâs eyes. Putting her hands in her pockets, she towered over Shannon like a queen
âThis isnât the first time Iâve seen the true colors of the Martinez family. Accusing me of stealing your fance? Thatâs nothing. I should count my blessings for not being accused of murder by your familyâ
The look in Shannonâs eyes darkened. Suddenly, tears started falling down her cheeks. She wept pitifully âYou harbor some serious misunderstandings toward our familyâ âWhat misunderstandings? chuckling, Lily revealed, âYour family came to beg my grandma in the hospital to send you to live with the Lauriers. Was that a misunderstanding too?
Are you going to say that you have feelings for Loid, but I pulled some tricks and stole him from you?â
Shannon gritted her teeth, feeling humiliated for being called out in public.
Meanwhile, Lily fixed her unfeeling gaze on Shannon. âDo you need me to remind you that it was your mom who came to the countryside and begged me to marry Loid Laurier? âMy biological mother, who abandoned me after birth, made me marry told in your place so that you wouldnât have to marry a dying man. That happened fairly recently. Donât you remember?â
Shannon lifted her head and glowered at Lily. She thought, âWhy does she have to air our duty laundry in front of our classmates? Is she trying to win their sympathy?â
Lily continued, âTm used to living an easy life. Itâs uncharacteristic of me to fight for anything. Iâm only wasting my time on you today because I need you to pass a message to your familyâ1, Lily Brooks, am in no way related to the Martinez family. I will bankrupt whoever tries to visit my grandma in the hospital â
Then, her eyes glimmered with a threatening look. âDonât take my words lightly. I never joke around people Iâm not close with. My grandma did suggest that you move to the Lauriersâ place, though. If you want to move in with us, go ahead.â
Shannonâs eyes lit up with delight. Juliaâs idea seemed pretty effective. She advised Shannon to speak to Belinda, a surefire way of making Shannon move into Anmer Heights.
Awesome! Shannon was glad to have the chance to meet Loid again. This time, she wouldnât let the opportunity slide.
At the same time, the classmates around them listened on with surprised looks. They learned from the forum post that Lily had âstolenâ Shannonâs flance. Little did they know that there was a juicy, absurd story behind the rivalry.
aughterâs place?
How shocking was it for a mother to dump her eldest daughter and then reach out to the poor girl again just for her to marry a man in the second daughterâs
Ian and Anya, who were in the know, offered no comment. However, they were puzzled by Lilyâs chattiness on that day. The Lily they knew was typically a reserved and cool girl âBut Lily, I know you still care for us. If so, why donât you forgive Shelby for my sake?â Shannon smiled at Lily.
