On the other end, Marcus sounded confused, "Who are you?"
Lily answered, "I'm Old Master Shaw’s friend. How are the Old Master's affairs going?"
For the past few weeks, Lily was busy trying to reconcile with Alex. He even went to the top of the mountain to deal with Jane. So, even though she was i n South City, she did not pay much attention to Old Master Shaw.
Right until now, Lily still remembered what Emma told her when she asked her to come home. She said there was a foul-smelling force in South City that required the cooperation of both Old Master Shaw and herself to remove.
Now she wondered how Old Master Shaw was doing? Emma did not even answer her calls. These people! They called her back but now all of them were retreating like cowards. Was it public information that she had been dumped by Alex? With Old Master Poole's support and approval, Alex would have a hard time getting rid of her!
On the other end, Marcus asked her impatiently, his tone exhibiting his annoyance, "Who the hell are you?"
”1 am Alex Poole of Kidon City's fiance!" Lily’s tone was arrogant and overbearing.
Alex Poole's fiance? For the past few weeks, because Aunt Gloria was not willing to acknowledge his grandfather, his grandfather fell gravely ill. Marcus and his parents were all busy taking care of the old man, that's why he did not know of the recent events involving Alex.
All Marcus knew was that his grandfather kept in contact with the Poole family, but mostly only with Axel Poole. As for Alex's father, Patrick Poole, Patrick did not concern himself much with worldly affairs. That was why Old Master Shaw was not in frequent contact with him.
However, Marcus knew that Sebastian and Alex were very close friends, as close as brothers. Besides, Marcus himself had entered into a partnership with Alex's nephew, Ryan Poole. The both of them managed a construction company in South City. Marcus hesitated briefly when the caller mentioned that she was Alex's fiance.
His tone softened. "I'm sorry, my grandfather did not meet you because he fell sick recently. Even now, he is lying sick in bed. If you have anything to discuss with him, you can discuss it with me."
"With you?" Lily asked.
