Halfway through the banquet, Lily suddenly wanted to go to the washroom. She told Edwards and then headed in the direction of the washroom.

As she sat in the lattice room, Lily suddenly heard the footsteps of several women coming in from outside.

Immediately after, a slightly sharp female voice angrily threw her bag onto the azure stone platform, and grinded her teeth in anger: "I just saw that dead woman Lily, she really has some skills! She eats from a bowl and is still staring at the pot, she's too shameless."

"Be quiet, this is a public place. What if someone hears ..."

"So what if she hear it? Didn't you see the pretentious look on her face as she showed off her love to Edwards with a sweet and beautiful face? But who knows how many men she's actually thinking about in her heart." That girl seemed to have suffered great grievances and injuries, and her words always carried thorns.

Lily who was in the cubicle had a stunned expression. Why was she shot when she went to the washroom?

She actually heard someone scolding her behind her back.

"Bryant and she are childhood sweethearts. It's normal for them to be connected in private, there's no need for her to hold on to him!" Another female voice was trying to persuade her.

"I also want to be neighbors with Bryant. I also want to grow up together with him, but I don't have this life, Lily should be seeing her current life. What is there left for her to be unsatisfied with? Why is she still going to hurt Bryant?" The woman was getting more and more agitated as she spoke.

"What's wrong with Bryant? How did Lily hurt him?" Another woman asked in a gossipy tone.

"Yesterday, I heard my cousin say that Bryant was drinking and missing her again. He even cut his leg on the glass. It's killing me." When the woman mentioned Bryant's name, her tone softened. It could be seen that he loved Bryant very much.

"It can't be. Bryant is really such a rare spoony, no wonder he could play every role to the bone, in reality, he is such a good man." The woman said in surprise.

"I pity him so much, so I hate Lily even more. She must still be hanging on Bryant's neck, unwilling to let him go." The woman gritted her teeth in hatred and started to pin the crime on Lily.

"That's true, every single woman hopes to have more men loving and going crazy for them. Although Lily married Edwards, she does have a heart of vanity." Another woman mocked in an indifferent tone. "I'd like to ask her, won't her conscience hurt when she does this?" The woman clenched her fists and said.

At this moment, a booth behind them was pushed open, and a clear and cold female voice sounded out, "Does my conscience hurt? It doesn't seem like there's a need to tell you."

The moment the two women, who had been venting their anger, turned around and saw Lily; they all widened their eyes in shock, their expressions filled with fear.

Lily walked in front of the washstand at the side, opened the water cage and slowly washed her hands. Then, she took out a piece of paper to wipe them off, her voice was still cold. "Is it right for you to gossip behind my back?" "Lily, let me ask you, are you still not willing to let Bryant go?" A younger girl immediately glared at her.

The older girl quickly pulled the girl over and advised her, "Don't argue with her in front of everyone. Do you still not know her current identity?"

The girl immediately looked as if she was discouraged, and she fearfully took two steps back, showing an expression that she didn't dare to take any further movement.

Lily looked at her coldly, and then sneered: "Who are you? Why should I explain this to you? Bryant is my friend. As for the matters between him and me, we are clear about it. It seems that we do not have any obligation to explain it to others."

"I am... I love him!" The girl seemed to be unwilling and immediately confessed loudly.

"Oh, so it's like that. You should just confess to him. Whether or not he can move his heart onto you will depend on your ability, but don't target me. I'm not in your way!" Although Lily was angry at what she had just scolded her about, she didn't care too much about it, seeing that she had fallen deeply in love with Bryant.

"How could I know if you're in the way or not? If you're secretly in contact with him ..."

"What did you say?" Lily's expression instantly changed and her tone became somewhat colder: "If you continue to create something out of nothing, I will make you take responsibility for what you have said." The girl was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything else.

Lily calmed her anger down and said with an indifferent expression: "I can only tell you, Bryant is my friend, so stop messing with our relationship."

The girl was shocked by Lily's words.

Lily walked a few steps before she suddenly stopped and turned back to look at her: "You said that Bryant's leg was injured because of me?"

The girl scoffed, "If it wasn't because of you, who else can be? He drinks almost every night when he gets back because of you!"

Lily didn't know whether or not she was speaking the truth, but the bottom of her heart was still greatly shaken.

Why would Bryant keep drinking because of her?

As if her heart had been pierced, Lily turned around and left with a hurried pace.

She didn't lie to her conscience just now. She had only contacted Bryant a few times during the period of time she had been backing home. After that, because she had to move, Bryant had said that he would help her and wanted to rent out his house for her.

Apart from this, they really have very little contact.

But now that she suddenly heard those words, Lily did not care if it was fake. She really hoped that Bryant could return to his own life and not think of her again. She hope he won't be bothered by her again. Lily returned to her seat nervously. Edwards was in the middle of a conversation with a person beside him and did not notice that something was wrong with her expression.

After the charity event ended, it was already past nine o'clock. Lily sat in the car, leaned on the man's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

Edwards thought that she was a little tired from work and gently reached out his hand to pull her into his embrace to sleep.

Smelling the man's familiar scent, she couldn't fall asleep any longer. However, she didn't dare open her eyes, afraid that she would meet those gentle and loving eyes of Edwards. If Edwards were to replace out that she was still suffering from a mental trauma because of another man, it was unknown whether or not she would stab him in his heart.

Alas, the human mind is sometimes too complex. What we should not think, we think it again and again.

Suddenly, the injured place on her head felt a stabbing pain, causing Lily's entire body to tremble.
