Chapter 163

Lily’s eyes were downcast, and she looked as if she was unhappy about something.

Maxwell stared at her for some time before patting her shoulder and saying, “Don’t dwell so much on what happened back then. No one could have foreseen something like that would happen. You can’t keep holding on to the past.”

Maxwell’s thoughts drifted. He felt a little stiled and lit a cigarette. “I’m responsible for that incident as well. If you can’t move on, I

„Hfeel very guilty.”

Lily looked up and pursed her lips. “Don’t be. I’ve moved on long ago.”

“Are you sure?” Maxwell looked at her. “Since you started taking over the underground world of Aeston, you haven’t thought of letting this go. You want to replace those people to avenge the Grahams. But it’s not that simple. We’ve worked on it for seven years and found no trace of a clue.”

Lily turned and looked at the street outside. Her voice sounded distant. “They’ll be found someday. They must pay for the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Graham.”

Maxwell asked, “Do Bobby and Poppy wish for you to replace them?”

Lily pursed her lips and didn’t reply.

“If they don’t want you to keep looking, why are you still at it? Maxwell fell deep sympathy for Lily

She was only 19 years old. At this age, she should be in school, doing things that she liked. For example, she could dance well. If they found her a good dancing teacher, she would have a bright future ahead.

However, she kept putting herself in dangerous situations and couldn’t leave that kind of life behind.

Lily rubbed her temples, feeling a bit lazy to deal with this. “Mr. Lane, I won’t insist on holding on to anything else. But this is the only thing that I won’t let go

She opened the car door and said, “Please take care of Bobby and Poppy. When it’s time for them to go to the University of Bridgeport, I’ll take over and care for them myself” “Lily” Maxwell still had more to say, but Lily had already gotten out of the car.

He sighed and started the car. Soon, he drove away.

Not far behind the car, shannon looked at the photos on her phone with a vicious glint in her eyes. She smiled sinisterly, thinking of how Lily would have to explain herself to Loid. Early the next morning, Melanie came to Anmer Heights. Loid and Shaun had some business to attend to, so they left early. Therefore, only Lily was at home.

As soon as Melanie entered, she pulled Lily toward the bedroom. “I bought you an evening gown in your size. Go try it on.”

Lily pinched the bridge of her nose. “There’s no need to try. I’ll just wear it tonight.”

“You must try it on. Otherwise, how would you know whether it fits you?” Melanie pushed Lily into the room. “I dropped everything else today so that I can come and dress you up. I’ll take you out for a facial and get your hair styled later. I want you to shine and be the center of attention!”

Lily didn’t know what to say to that. She didn’t want any attention!

Holding the gown, Lily hesitated for a while before going in to try it on. She never rejected any of Melanie’s requests.

After some time, Lily came out wearing the evening gown

Melale was looking at her phone. When she looked up, she was stunned.
