When she realized that the person had stopped walking, Lily instinctively hid her face. She was afraid
of being discovered.
“They won’t be able to see you from there with the distance and height.” Alexander, who had been
sitting calmly, smiled and got up. He walked to her side and wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
Lily glared at him. “You knew that nothing could be seen from here clearly? You said that we’re here to
watch a play. Are you testing my eyesight? I’m not a hawk!”
Alexander’s smile deepened, and he handed her something, “You are not a hawk, but you have better
tools.”
When Lily peered down, she noticed high–magnification binoculars. It seemed that he was well
prepared! She had grown intrigued by this play and did not want to chastise him about. not taking it out
sooner. She used the binoculars to look in the direction of the two cars. Under the binoculars,
everything was crystal clear.
Lily was shocked when she saw the person’s face.
“Nathaniel?!” How could it be him? Why was he at Sapphine City at this time? Moreover… had he not
been missing for a while?”
The man in the other car did not get out, and Lily wished they would do so to answer her doubts. They
began to argue shortly after. The man finally emerged from the car, and they addressed each other.
Henry Lodge!
Haha!
It looked like this would be an exciting play!
If she had not witnessed it with her own eyes, she never in a million years would have believed it was
the two of them.
“Henry framed me because he colluded with Nate? Was it for revenge?” Lily blurted out.
She soon overthrew her previous guess, “No! Nate doesn’t have the ability to manipulate him. Henry’s
ultimate goal is to rule the entire Lodge family.”
“It doesn’t matter what the reason for their collaboration is as long as we know their every move,”
Alexander said nonchalantly. He took the binoculars from her for a look, “If my guess is right, their next
step is to confirm your candle is indeed poisonous.”
“They don’t know my methods even if they know my formula…” Lily paused, then corrected herself,
“No, Nate knows.”
After all, they were together for a long time and Nathaniel knew her well. He could easily replicate her
methods if he could locate some expert help or high–end perfumers.
“He’s despicable!” She snarled. He was willing to frame others for the sake of fame and
fortune.
“A mere candle is insufficient to implicate Justin. That said, Justin can exclude himself from
this as long as he shrugs it off and puts all the blame on you.” Alexander held the binoculars and said
calmly, “You’re not your uncle’s target.”
“Justin wouldn’t do that!” Her mood fluctuated, and she clenched her fist.
Lily was feeling furious and annoyed. She wanted to rush over and expose their conspiracy if it were
possible. However, she knew it was insignificant to expose their lies at that moment. Would she say
they were colluding with each other? Henry could simply explain that it was a normal meet–up with a
friend.
Lily knew she would be at a disadvantage if they were aware of her knowing this. Having witnessed
what had transpired, she also realized that some Lodge relatives were acting in their self–interest and
that some outsiders had infiltrated the family. If it were not the case, Henry would have no leverage.
She was determined to clear her name and put an end to the Lodge family’s disgrace once and
for all.
