Capítulo 1806: Chapter 1809: Lily Redington, Don’t Drink It!
“Mr. Chamberlain’s wedding, I should attend it. Considering your mother is my Auntie, giving her some respect is just a small favor.” Lily sat on the sofa, her lips curved into a smile, radiating charm.
The radiant smile on her face made Hannah Ford suddenly feel so humble, so insignificant.
“By the way, where’s your mother? She’s really not doing well now. The only consolation might be that you’re back by her side.”
From the time she came today, she hadn’t seen Bella Scott, Lily asked as if unintentionally.
In normal circumstances, if Hannah Ford is getting married, Bella Scott would undoubtedly be around, handling things personally.
But now, the wedding is about to start, and Bella Scott hasn’t appeared. Something must be wrong.
“Oh… my mom… my mom has been too exhausted from preparing for my wedding. Two days ago, she accidentally fell ill from fatigue. I couldn’t bear to see her work so hard, so I let her rest at home.”
The news of Bella Scott’s death has not been made public.
Her body was casually buried in the backyard of the Presidential Palace by Evelyn Lucas’s orders.
The prestigious backyard of the Presidential Palace holds her mother’s body, yet because it’s the Presidential Palace, no one knows about it.
“Oh, that’s how it is.” Lily nodded thoughtfully, seemingly without any suspicion.
“Yes, yeah…” Hannah responded, suddenly feeling the atmosphere a bit awkward.
For a moment earlier, she almost impulsively wanted to tell Lily Redington the truth.
She wanted to tell her she was forced; Evelyn Lucas is in the room next door, monitoring the situation here.
She wished to ask Lily Redington to take her away, to save her.
But…
She dared not, she was frightened.
“Lily, I’m really grateful you could come today. I know I’ve done many things in the past that were unfair to you, and I know my actions don’t deserve forgiveness. But now, you’re married and have your own family…”
Hannah’s gaze fell upon Lily’s heavily pregnant belly, her eyes obscure.
“I… I’m also about to marry Frank, have my own happiness.”
When she said this, she walked towards Lily.
She smoothly sat opposite Lily, then picked up the juice and liquor prepared in advance on the table, pouring a glass for Lily and herself.
“Lily, I… I know I have no position to ask for your forgiveness. But I’m really glad you could come today. Here’s to you, as my apology.”
Hannah picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
Though it was red wine, she drank boldly, as if wanting to vent something.
After drinking, she pushed the juice-filled wine glass towards Lily.
“You are a pregnant woman and can’t drink liquor. If… you don’t feel inclined to accept my apology, you don’t have to drink…”
Hannah looked at Lily, for the first time hoping she wouldn’t fall for it, that she wouldn’t take the wine glass.
Evelyn Lucas was watching through the monitor, she dared not be too blatant, so she deliberately used this method to urge Lily to drink the juice already spiked with drugs.
This was Evelyn Lucas’s arrangement.
Lily Redington is pregnant, and in this room, she was the only one who would drink juice.
If she was unlucky and drank it in advance, then Hannah wouldn’t need to do anything else.
If she didn’t drink, then it would be Hannah’s turn.
And now, Hannah watched Lily nervously, wanting her to understand the discouragement in her eyes.
Lily Redington, you mustn’t drink!
Unfortunately…
Lily merely smiled and then picked up the juice on the table, drinking it all down.
“Your apology is sincere, I accept.”
