Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Lily kept her eyes lowered as she explained in a soft but steady tone. “I didn’t call you because I know you were coming back. Also, they’ve just arrived. I wasn’t sure whether they were going to stay around for long.” “Is that so? Samantha’s chest heaved. Her darkened face hid her impatience as she asked, “Are you sure now?” Lily kept her eyes fixated on Samantha’s feet. “I’m certain. They’ll be living here.” Samantha was hot under the collar. She was extremely unhappy, but it would not be good for her to get angry. A short silence filled the room. “Madam,” Lily lifted her head. She maintained the tone of voice she had been using. “Perhaps the president doesn’t have any hidden agenda.” Samantha gave her a frosty glance. “Zephyr and Dustin? With the sole exception of Michael, they are Jack’s most capable men!” she emphasized tensely. “Jack cares about his grandfather the most, so naturally, he wanted his trusted right-hand men to come here and take care of him. His grandfather goes out often, and safety comes first,” Lily advised. “As long as you don’t pick a fight with them, everything will be peaceful and fine.” “Peaceful and fine?” Samantha rolled her eyes. She turned around to get her bathrobe and shower cap. “Tell me. What else has happened while I was away?”

The first thing Lily thought of was Violet. Nevertheless, she did not know whether she ought to mention her. She was afraid that Samantha would see red if she did. This silence was strange. The middle-aged woman paused and turned around. “Are you hiding something from me?” Her eyes were cold. “Lily?” She began taking steps towards her. “Exactly whose side are you on?” “Madam,” Lily maintained her composure. “Can’t you see whose side I’m on?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“You’ve changed!” Samantha gazed at her frigidly. “You’re no longer the Lily I knew! You’ll betray me one day. You’re already talking to Jack!” She was on tenterhooks. “How can I betray you when we’re both in the same boat?” Lily gave a slight frown. “How can you still feel safe when it comes to me?!” Lily shouted. Shaken up, Samantha’s mind cleared up significantly. “My apologies, madam,” Lily immediately acknowledged that she should not have reacted that way. It was problematic. “Enough, I don’t want to hear about your theories.” Samantha closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Tell me something I want to hear.” Lily thought about it before asking, “Do you know about the president’s wedding?” “It was called off because that girl dumped him. That felt good,” Samantha could not help but sneer when she recalled the scenes on the television. “His humiliation was broadcasted beyond this country, even.” However, Lily did not find it funny. “Miss Yeager had stayed here for a week,” she reported. Samantha’s heart ski pped a beat. She stared at her with rapt attention, doubting her own ears. “What? Here?” “Yes, here,” Lily said, “Jack’s grandfather brought her back today, but Michael then took her away.” Samantha blinked. “What is the meaning of this? Don’t the Yanceys have a score to settle with her? Have they made peace?” she asked in shock. “I heard that she stayed the night at Goldbay Estate yesterday.” Lily did not answer her questions. She continued speaking, “It’s absolutely true.” The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes at her. For a moment, she wondered if she was hearing things. “Michael said that he was followed the president’s orders and had come to fetch Mrs. Yancey,” Lily spoke softly, “Senior Yancey is very fond of Miss Yeager.” “But why did she stay here for a week? She pulled off such a disgraceful stunt at the wedding! Isn’t grandpa angry?” Samantha could not accept this. She thought she was familiar with the old man’s

temper. “It’s impossible!” “Senior Yancey suffered a stroke because of the stunt she pulled. Maybe she stayed to take care of him for a week to atone for what she did. At any rate, the old man brought her home and they’ve been getting along well.” This was everything Lily 1/2 10:51 Chapter 33 knew. “Atone?” “Miss Yeager doesn’t have any intention of escaping. She seems quite at home here. Mr. Yancey came and fetched her yesterday evening.” Lily said. “I don’t know what happened last night though. Her entire body is injured when she came back with the old man today. There are bruises on her face and forehead.” Lily was merely a housekeeper who was tasked with helping Violet apply the medicine on her injuries. Naturally, she had not dared to ask questions.
