Chapter 422

Maybe it was Lily‘s instinct. Although the person did not get down from their car, Lily sensed something unusual. She turned to look into the adjacent car and saw Justin sitting in the backseat, motioning for her to go over with his finger.

She was rendered speechless but got into his car without a word. After looking at Justin, she averted her gaze to her red Porsche and asked, “How did you know that‘s my car?”

“You‘ve been pretty busy lately,” Justin said profoundly, ignoring her question.

“Kinda. I’m sure you‘ve heard about everything.” Lily nodded. Since Justin knew which car belonged to her in this massive parking lot, Lily was confident he had heard about the recent commotion on the Internet.

“I don‘t remember you being this high–key in the past,” Justin said, and this time, he turned to look at Lily.

“It might be because the Lodge family has influenced me, or I‘m just looking for a style change.” Lily lowered her head, brushed out the folds on her shirt, and tugged it when she realized it was not getting any better. “You weren‘t running errands around this area again, were you? Did Grandpa tell you to come for me?”

“Birthday celebration.” These two words explained the reason Justin was here today.

Lily remembered the occasion and nodded lightly.” I knew you came here because of that. I‘ll be there.”

“Have you decided not to come back for real?” Justin stared at Lily as if he could get an answer from looking at her face.

“I‘ve told you before. It‘s not that I‘m not going back. It just isn‘t the right time yet. Plus, does it matter whether or not I return to the residence? Am I that important to the Lodge family?” Lily felt otherwise.

She was not reluctant to leave the Lodge family‘s residence back then as she could finally be free from the depressing and hasty environment. Lily never thought about returning ever since she left, not even when Nathaniel and Melanie tricked her.

It would be a piece of cake for Lily if she borrowed the Lodge family‘s power to get back at Nathaniel, but the rebuke she would have to face would be even more challenging. Hence, she would rather face her problems alone than seek help from them.

Justin had a complicated expression. His lips moved, looking like he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end. He said, “He‘s old now.”

“People from the Lodge family have longevity genes. Don‘t worry about it.” Lily patted Justin‘s shoulder.

“If there‘s nothing else, I‘ll leave now.”

“Wait!” Justin called out and threw a folder to her.

“What is this?” Lily asked, puzzled.

“Some information that may be useful to you. Just look at those when you‘re free,” Justin explained nonchalantly.

Lily raised her brows, feeling that folder in her hand. It was light, so she accepted it. “Okay then!”

Once she exited the car, the car engine started and soon left her sight. She looked down at the folder again, thinking she would open it when she reached home. There was no need to rush anyway.
