Spoiled By Mr. Russell By Luminous Night Chapter 630
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âMaybe the news hasnât got out yet,â Lily smacked her lips and added, âOlivia, I need you to be the one to spread this news.â
âSpread whatâ¦â Oliva hesitated, then asked, âWhy do you need me to spread the word? The Lodge family wonât be releasing this news to the public?â
This should be something the family had to announce to the public, especially when it was about Wilfred, an important figure in the country. News about him would surely be published newspapers, and all the prestigious families in the country would attend his funeral.
Olivia had nothing to do with the Lodge family. Wasnât it a bit strange for her to be the one to release the news to the public?
âThereâs a problem back at home, which is whyâ¦I need your help,â Lily clarified as she heard a knock on the door.
She turned to look, and in came Alexander, followed by Edward behind him. Alexander had planned to tell her something but saw that she was talking on the phone, so he refrained. Instead, he turned to Edward and instructed softly, âYou can leave now.â
âYes, Mr. Russell,â Edward replied.
Lily wondered how Olivia could have heard Edwardâs voice through the phone when he was not even loud, to begin with, âLily, I thinkâ¦I heard Edwardâs voice.â
âYeah, thatâs Edward. Heâs also here. Why? Do you have something to say to him?â Lily said while walking toward Edward.
When Edward heard his name mentioned, he turned back to Lily.
âNo, no, I donât have anything important to say to him,â Olivia quickly denied. However, moments later, she could not help but ask, âErm⦠I was just wondering if his cell phone is still not working.â
âHis cell phone?â Lily glanced briefly at Edward and then at her own phone. Then, she smiled. and said, âThereâs someone curious about your phone, whether it is working or not?â
Lily had intentionally raised her volume so that Olivia could hear her over the phone.
Edward frowned but nodded honestly, âYes, itâs still not working,â Then, he quickly explained to Alexander, âIt happened just yesterday. Iâm using the backup cell phone now, but Iâll get it fixed as soon as possible.â
Alexander nodded, âYou donât have to explain yourself to me.â In other words, Alexander thought, âI was not the one who asked, so you should be explaining to the one who asked. instead.â
Lily spoke into the phone, âDid you hear that? His cell phone is still not working properly. Do you have anything else you want to ask, Ms. Olivia Hart?â
Lily intentionally called out Oliviaâs full name to tease her. Olivia was flustered and immediately explained, âHey, I was only asking! Lily, why are you teasing me? YâYouâre so mean!â
Then, Olivia hung up.
When Lily was done teasing Olivia, she immediately handed the phone to Edward, but they heard Olivia hang up before he could answer. Lily and Edward could only look at each other in awkward silence.
âErmâ¦â she took her phone back and asked Edward, âWhatâs your backup number? Could you tell me?â
