Chapter 522 Upon entering the house, Lily was about to change out of her shoes whien Alexander
unexpectedly crouched down and helped her.
Lily was startled and subconsciously retracted her sect. “Wliat are you doing?”
“Let me help you with your shoes,” he raised liis head and answered naturally. However, there was
nothing natural about this, and Lily felt highly uncomfortable. “It‘s fine. I can do it mysell!”
Then, she quickly changed out of her shoes, feeling the pressure from behind her. Looking back, she
saw Brandon and the woman at the door. The woman‘s gaze was almost murderous. If looks could kill,
Lily would have been dead.
The uncomfortable feeling in Lily grew as she frowned slightly. Then, slie put on her slippers and got
herself a water bottle. “Come in,” Alexander ushered casually. Only then did Lily notice that the
servants that usually left after cleaning were still there.‘ What‘s Alex planning? One of the servants
quickly brought over a pot of tea, but only with two cups. They were placed in front of Alexander.
Obviously, the drinks were for Alexander and Lily and not the two guests.
Alexander was doing this on purpose!
Lily stood at the island‘s edge with her drink and shot him a glance. She had no idea what he was
doing. Although she had no idea who the woman was, she quickly pieced it together.
That woman that came with Brandon seemed hostile toward Lily. Looking at how she dressed, Lily
guessed that she must be Brandon‘s younger sister, Brittany. On top of that, the bruises on her face
were still noticeable, although she had tried to conceal them with makeup. It seemed that Olivia wasn‘t
exaggerating when she said she had the upper hand.
Ever since Brittany entered the front door, lier eyes had been fixated on Lily. When Brittany noticed Lily
was looking back at hier, hier gaze became more vicious and hateful. Lily believed that if the two men
weren‘t around, Brittany would have rushed over and punched Lily until she was black and blue, given
that she still had the strength.
Once Lily pieced the puzzle together, she understood what was going on. However, with how Brittany
was acting, were they really there to apologize?
“Ah, Fourth Russell...” Brandon smiled, trying to close the gap between them by calling Alexander his
nickname, However, Alexander was cold. “I don‘t think we‘re at the level of calling each other by our
nicknames.”
Altliough he looked polite, he drew the line between himself and the two very clearly. Alexander was far
from happy. He did not need Brandon‘s friendship.
Brandon let out a dry cough, a little embarrassed. Then, he continued smiling, “Don‘t be like that. I
know that this time Brittany went a little too far, but... your wife––”
Before she could finish speaking, Brittany pinched him hard, causing him to groan in pain. “What do
you mean ‘wife‘? What nonsense are you talking about?!” “Brittany!” Brandon was helpless. They had
come over to apologize, yet she was still acting like this. “Seeing that you‘re not here to apologize, i‘ll
get my servant to send you off,” Alexander said coldly with a wave of his hand.
“That‘s not–”
Brandon was about to speak, but Brittany interjected, “Why should I apologize? It‘s me who was beaten
up. Alex, can‘t you tell?!” She then stood up abruptly and took a few steps forward, almost touching
Alexander‘s legs.” Look! Look at my face! I‘m almost disfigured! Can‘t you see?! How could you be so
heartless?! Alex, we grew up together. Now, you‘d push me aside for another woman?!”
