His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1322

Stunned, Lily did not expect that the two had come together.

Since he was already inside, she was unable to reject him in front of her guests even though she had only instructed the maid to let Anastasia's aunt in.

Lips curled, Lily looked at him and said, "Well, I never expected to be dogged by misfortune even at home. When one is unlucky, not even their own home is safe, is it?”

The moment they spoke, they were already exchanging hostile remarks.

Although Maria had no idea what was happening between them, she could vaguely sense that the vibe was not right. She had thought at first that since Austin was acquainted with Mrs. Russell and knew where she lived, the woman should be a friend of some kind.

However, when he told the maid his family name, and she returned to tell him that Lily did not want to see him, Maria thought otherwise.

‘Now that the two have met, they seem ready to quarrel. How bizarre!’

She looked at Austin, who was smiling despite his anger, then at the house owner. Maria suddenly let out a yelp. “Oh, you’re… Aren’t you that woman who splashed Mr. Fike’s face with a drink?”

Thinking she looked familiar, Maria kept staring and remembered who Lily was. ‘During the symposium, she splashed Austin’s face with fruit juice, and if not for her, I’d be able to squeeze through the crowd to talk to him.’

She did not know whether Austin got mad then, but he did not stay long afterward and left in a hurry. After blurting out the question, she remembered she was in Lily’s house and clapped her hand to her mouth.

Glancing at both of them, Maria now knew why Austin let out such an odd expression when he said he knew Lily.

‘They’re not friends but enemies! Oh, no! Why is Tasia hanging out with Mr. Fike’s enemy? If he gets angry and refuses to treat her, all my efforts would be for nothing!’
