Lily actually considered explaining the reason for Chesley's dismissal to the entire board within the next day or two. But then, after thinking about it for a while, she changed her mind. "Maybe it's better if they don't know the real truth!"After all, what use would it be for them to know her real reason if she believed that all her actions were in vain?A week ago."Miss, the new marketing director has been chosen." In the living room of this house, Albert handed Lily a stack of documents containing Chesley's biodata and track record. "He was also personally selected by Mr. Kent."Lily carefully read the information. It didn't take long for her sharp mind to notice the discrepancies in the report. "He made almost two hundred percent profit just one month after becoming branch manager?" the girl asked, not taking her eyes off the paper."Yes, miss," Albert replied. "Are you thinking the same thing I am?" The old man had already suspected that there was something wrong with this man

After saying that, Lily walked out of the main Astor house, holding back the tears in her eyes as best she could. It was also the last time she set foot in that house and the last time she spoke to her uncle.Lily didn't know, and perhaps she would never know, that Kent had shed tears after she had left the house, something that had never happened to him, not even at the death of River, his father."You're right, Lily! You're absolutely right!" Kent said, unable to hold back the tears that seemed ready to flow from his eyes."Brother, didn't I tell you not to take my car? Why didn't you listen to me?" Kent felt deep sadness as he remembered how Finn had been so insistent on borrowing his car back then.Like Lily, Kent's heart was truly broken when he heard the news of Finn's death.Finn wasn't just a brother. He was a father figure for Kent.This was because River was a very strict, harsh, and cunning figure. He wouldn't hesitate to punish anyone, including his children, if they made

"Darrin!"Lily cried softly, squeezing her palms together in frustration. It was a feeling of desperately wanting something, but not being sure if you could get it. Or it was like being angry at someone who wasn't there for you to vent your anger at.Lily tossed and turned on the bed, her mind filled with thoughts of the young man. She couldn't open or close her eyes because she would only see the same figure. Not knowing what else to do, she sat on the bed and stared at the very old olive tree that grew in her front yard.Closing her eyes, Lily spoke softly, with all her heart and soul. "Darrin, please come! Come to me tonight!"She knew that hoping for Darrin to come might be something impossible. But she remembered what her mother had taught her. "If you want something, ask for it with all your heart and soul, and then pursue it earnestly!""I promise I will never be angry with you again," the girl said again. "I just want you to come. Please come," she said, still with her eyes cl

"Bastards! Let go of me! Let me go!"Lily continued to scream loudly as she saw the two men who were about to kiss her cheeks from both sides.Of course, she didn't stay still. She kept trying to pull her hands away from the men's grasp, but it was useless. Not only did her hands not move at all, but they also felt like they were nailed to the bed."Hmmm, this girl smells nice!" Ignoring Lily's screams and struggles, Kapral murmured again. He couldn't wait to kiss the girl who was only inches away from him. "She's really amazing!"Ignoring the girl, they both slowly moved their lips forward, acting as if they were about to enjoy a very luxurious meal. When they were only about six inches from her face, Mullo spoke again."Younger brother, I can hardly resist this temptation. I want to kiss and lick this girl right now. But do you still want to enjoy her slowly like before?"Kapral took a deep breath, enjoying the intoxicating scent of Lily's body and shampoo. "Why not? Besides, the lo

Before their punches landed on Darrin's face, the young man quickly moved a hand to create a teleportation hole. Then he quickly dodged their fists and stepped into the hole.Woosh!Woosh!Both punches missed. Moreover, since the two men had pushed their bodies forward with great force and speed, they inevitably entered the teleportation hole that Darrin had created.When the two men looked around, it was somewhat dark, making it difficult for them to see clearly. However, they estimated that they were still in Stonehaven, in a rather large desert area of the city.They might be able to see better than normal people in the dark. However, since they didn't have sensory enhancement techniques like Darrin, they couldn't see very clearly."Where is this?" Kapral turned his face from side to side, wondering. He used eighty percent of his inner strength to defend himself against any possible attacks."This young man is really insolent!" Mullo did the same. "How dare he toy with us by bringi
