"Send her away!" He said it bluntly.
Lily was shocked.
Although she had her suspicions that Alexander did not know about this, she did not expect that he would want to kick her out just like that.
"About that…"
"Since she hasn’t seen you, just send her away. You don't have to meet her."
"It's just that the maid said she brought a lot of things with her. Maybe she came to congratulate us." She wasn't expecting him to treat his aunt with such hostility.
"Congratulate us? Please, she’s a wolf in sheep's clothing!" Alexander snorted. "Don't worry about it. Just get one of the maids to tell them you're sick and that you've fallen asleep. Get her to come back another day."
"Oh, okay then."
He must have his reasons for saying such a thing, so Lily nodded. "Then, I'll do just that."
"Alright."
Upon ending the call, Lily instructed the maid to send Celine away, citing that she was sick and had just taken her medicine. Although the maid did not understand the reason behind doing so, she still carried out the order.
Olivia, who had been observing, was even more confused.
"Is that really his aunt? How could he ask you to send her away just like that?!"
Lily realized that, despite knowing Alexander for so long, she had never really met any of his family. She would have assumed he was the only member of his family if she had not known that the Russells were actually a large family.
"I'm not sure. All I know is that he doesn't have a good relationship with the rest of his family members." Lily shrugged. She didn't give it much thought as long as she had done what Alexander told her to.
