Chapter 6

I thought Lily would be patient.

But to my surprise, just a week later, she came to find me.

My mother had an entertainment company, which she had handed over to me to manage before I graduated.

Perhaps one of Lucas's friends had let it slip.

Lily waited for me at the company entrance when I came to work.

I glanced at her and walked straight into the company building.

Lily followed behind me, looking as if she wouldn't leave until she talked to me.

So I instructed my secretary:

"Get a cup of tea for that young lady."

After I finished dealing with some urgent matters, I finally had time to see Lily.

Her face was already displeased, but she still didn't say a word.

I laughed at her: "You're quite patient."

She finally spoke: "Lucas's card has been canceled by his dad. Can you tell his dad that you voluntarily gave up the engagement, so he'll unfreeze the card?"

I was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing:

"Is this how you ask for a favor?"

Lily said: "What's the use of holding onto him? If this continues, he'll only hate you more."

Seeing that I didn't respond, Lily played her trump card:

"Don't worry, I'll just make a quick buck from Lucas and leave. He'll still be yours in the future."

Lily's words made me laugh.

I asked her:

"Are you sure you just want to make a quick buck and leave?"

"Isn't it because Lucas's card was canceled, making it impossible to pay for your brother's medical bills, that you came to find me?"

"Or are you trying to completely ruin Lucas to avenge your brother?"

Lily's face turned ashen the moment I mentioned her brother, and when I spoke of revenge, she turned pale.

The next second, her face flushed red as she slammed the table:

"You investigated me?"

I shook my head: "I just thought you looked familiar, didn't expect to dig up something big."

She asked me: "You remember my brother?"

In my mind, I recalled the boy who always sat in the back row, his eyes hidden behind long bangs.

Probably because his bangs were so long, it was hard to see his face clearly, which is why Lucas couldn't see the resemblance between Lily and Felix.

A tear fell from the corner of Lily's eye:

"Then why didn't you help him back then? If you had said something, Lucas and the others would have listened, right?"

I said: "At that time, Lucas and I weren't that close anymore. Boys and girls needed to keep their distance. I had other friends to hang out with, and although we were in the same class, I didn't interact much with Lucas and his group."

"I'm sorry about what happened to your brother."

Lily collapsed onto my desk, sobbing.

A moment later, she raised her head, looking at me with tear-filled eyes: "Can you help me?"

"Help you with what?"

Her eyes turned cold: "Help me bring down Lucas."

"But what's in it for me?"

"You can take over his company. Isn't that good?"

I raised an eyebrow: "That's not a bad suggestion. After all, who doesn't like more money?"

Lily added: "But after it's done, you must ensure my safety."

I pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly:

"Alright, I'll make sure you're well taken care of."
