Henry did not know what Lily was up to, making him anxious.
"What tricks are you trying to play in front of your elders, little girl?"
"What's the rush, Uncle Henry? What are you afraid of?"
Lily shot him a faint smile, which sent chills up his spine.
Suddenly, a screen projected onto the white wall in the hall.
The others were surprised that Lily had already prepared the projector.
As for the screen, it was playing a video.
Others might need some time to identify the characters in the video, but Henry could almost instantly
tell it was the scene of him making a deal with Nathaniel.
The person who took the video was a distance away, but the video was still quite evident.
Everyone could see that Nathaniel had passed something to Henry and that Henry patted Nathaniel on
his shoulder after receiving the item in his hands.
The elders could see the scene clearly.
Beads of cold sweat had already dotted Henry’s forehead.He had never expected Lily to know about
his meet-up with Nathaniel the other day, and she even had video evidence.
‘How is that possible? I went there alone that day and ensured no one was tailing me.There wasn’t
anywhere for a person to hide at that place either!’ Henry’s mind went blank for a moment, and he did
not have the time to solve the doubts he had right now.
The elders were already starting to see that Henry was one of the characters in the video.
"Isn’t that...Henry?"
"Yeah.Who's the other person, though?"
"what are they doing?"
Lily smiled and explained slowly, "I’m sure everyone saw the footage clearly.One of the people in it is
Uncle Henry, and I believe all of you are curious about the other man's identity.His identity isn't
important compared to another matter I think all of you should know, which is the item exchanged in
their deal."
She moved her fingers and enlarged the video, mainly to focus on the item in Henry’s hand.It was a
box.
At the sight of the box, Henry subtly let out a breath of relief.
Fortunately, the scented candles were in a box, and he could deny the contents as he wished.
"You're right.I met up with a friend of mine a few days ago.What’s wrong? You couldn’t bring yourself to
tell everyone who he is, could you? I’ll make it clear to everyone then!"
Henry tried to push the blame onto Lily and turn the table around.
"He is Nathaniel Hall, my...niece’s ex-boyfriend.I met up with him so he could pass me the evidence of
her evil action because he could not tolerate her behavior anymore.He gave me part of the evidence all
of you saw earlier."
Then he sighed and walked over to Lily’s side.
"Lily, I know you won’t admit to murder because it’s a heinous crime.If you can come to your senses
and admit you made a mistake because whatever reasons blinded you, we will discuss whether or not
to forgive you and decide on an adequate punishment for you according to the family’s rules.If you
don’t..."
"Are you saying he was the one who gave you the candles? The exact scented candles infused with
poison that you used to accuse me of?"
Lily asked abruptly.
