On the other end of the line, Emma then smiled. "Lily, we are best friends after all. I will certainly give you a helping hand!"
Not long after that, Emma gave the numbers to Lily, and Lily cried when she got them. Lily had actually already realized that she had been used by Emma all this while. Lily had originally thought that she was the woman with unmatched power in Kidon City because she was Alex’s girlfriend. Therefore, even if Emma was part of the Poole family, she also could not be as reckless as Lily. Lily had once thought that Emma was a servant to her. She would often mock and oppress Emma. However, being in this small pitch -black room in a foreign land made Lily realize that she was nothing in Emma’s eyes.
Emma would absolutely not call Lily and let her return when Lily was no use for her, and would even call her t o tell her that her boyfriend had already been snatched away by someone else. The reason why Emma called her and asked her to hurry back was that the position of Emma's father, Axel, had been threatened. Lily, on the other hand, was just a pawn for them to counter Sebastian and Alex.
Perhaps everyone in the world had already known that Alex loved Jane deeply. Emma was even more clear about that, but she still notified Lily to return and let her implement the battle to get Alex back. In
the end, Lily had lost terribly. Other than having a dead body at the moment, Lily had already been a creature that was neither human nor ghost. However, Emma still wanted to use her to harass Jane, Alex, Sabrina, and Sebastian. Lily, who was locked up in a small room by Holden, already fully understood Emma's true intentions. She had no choice but to willingly be used by Emma. This was because Emma was the only person that Lily could count on. If she had rejected Emma, then Lily would possibly have no way to seek revenge in this life anymore. Therefore, she could only endure it. She had to endure it even if could not do it.
Fortunately, an opportunity had arisen that day. Holden, who was drunk as a skunk, came to vent his anger at her. He kicked and cursed her like usual." You d*mned woman! What’s so great about you? Ten thousand of you are no match for one Sabrina! Never mind that the child carried was not mine, even if it was mine, that child also would not be a hundred times better than Aino!"
Lily dodged. "No matter how great Aino is, she is also not your daughter. She is your love rival's daughter! Don't forget that it was Aino dad who had married Sabrina! They are a family of three! You are just a pitiful soul like me."
"He is not my love rival! No! That is my...my brother..." Even when he was drunk as a skunk, he would still have an incomparably painful expression on his face, when Sebastian was mentioned.
"Ha!" Lily sneered. "Your brother? Would your brother not give a single penny of the property to you? Would your brother drive you out of South City? You think he is your brother? Do you believe that if you dare to return to South City again, your brother would let you receive the most severe punishment possible?"
"I'll let you have the most severe punishment possible now." Holden grabbed Lily by the hair and violently beat her up. Lily curled into a ball and was screaming i n pain. It was not until her voice became sore and Holden was tired from beating her up that he kicked her aside. After that, he downed more than half a bottle of the alcohol and dispiritedly sat on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the bright moonlight outside the room. His tears suddenly failed him and streamed down his face. Immediately after that, he let out a wail. He took out his phone from his pocket after he was done laughing and dialed a group of numbers with his swaying fingers.
It was already late at night on the other end. Sebastian was afraid he might wake up Sabrina, who was sound asleep, so he got up and went to the large balcony with his phone in hand, then only he answered it. "Hello?”
"Sebastian! You have been happy and well!" Holden's sorrowful, hateful, and drunken voice could be heard coming from the other end.
