Eloise snorted and said, "She is not an orphan!" Facing Nathaniel's confused expression, she continued slowly, "Have you heard about what happened to the Lodge family of Brown City?"
"The Lodge family? Are you referring to one of the biggest families in our country? According to rumors, they know an older form of kickboxing and are very secretive. 'That' Lodge family?" Nathaniel asked.
Of course, he had heard of the well-known family. The country had four famous families. They were the Richards, Tanner, Russell, and Lodge families.
The Lodge family of their city was active in politics and had been for several generations. The later generations produced many good politicians. The family culture was strict, and their foundations were firm.
The Tanner family of Ruby City and the Russell family of Sapphine were from the business world, but each had its domain. The Richards were in property development and construction, whereas the Russell family was in entertainment. Although they were in different industries, they had a relationship. Word on the street was that they were working together.
Nonetheless, the most secretive of the four influential families was the Lodge family of Brown City.
Some said everybody from the Lodge family was fit and skilled at fighting. They rarely appeared in public, and when they did, they looked like gentle academics. Nobody knew if the rumors were true. However, Lodge had a large business empire, and nobody in Brown City dared to provoke the Lodge family.
But why did Eloise suddenly mention the Lodge family?
"Are you saying that Lily has a relationship with the Lodge family?" Nathaniel asked carefully. He could not believe it.
Eloise did not say anything. The look in her eyes gave him the answer.
