Lily walked into the house and sat on the sofa before answering the phone. "Olivia, what's wrong?"
Lily had a suspicion in her heart that Olivia would somehow reach out to her after she and Alexander left.
Olivia was not brainless. Although she loved Edward very much, Lily believed Olivia would be able to tell who was lying after the
confrontation today.
Olivia sounded a little rushed on the phone, panting. "Lily, Edward... he went out."
"Went out? What do you mean?" Lily glanced at Alexander, who was subconsciously warming up smilk for himself. As if he
could sense his wife's gaze, he looked in her direction.
"He got up while | was asleep and secretly went out alone. | don't know where he drove off to. Lily, I-I'm scared!" Olivia's voice
trembled as she spoke, sounding like she was about to cry. She was scared of what Edward was hiding from her. She was scared of

Lily frowned and sat up slightly. "He drove out alone? Wait, isn't he injured? Doesn't he need a wheelchair?"
Olivia felt a little embarrassed when Lily brought that up. "His legs are fine. | just found out as well. | don't know what other things
he has kept from me, and | don't understand why he is doing that. Lily, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry | doubted you before this. I..."
"Okay, enough. You don't have to say all this. Don't panic, now. I'll get someone to check on Edward's whereabouts immediately.
Go hand wait for my news. Don't go anywhere, especially since you're still pregnant. You need to take care of yourself, do you
understand?"
Lily sounded severe, and although Olivia was hesitant, she listened to Lily as always. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go hand wait,
but."
After pausing, she cautiously asked, "Lily, can you promiseyou won't hurt Edward, no matter what?"
Even if Edward lied to her, she would give him the benefit of the doubt that he did this as a last resort. She did not want to see him
get hurt.
"Of course. Edward is our friend too!" Lily replied without hesitation, "You should go back. I'll call you immediately if | hear
anything."
"Okay." With that, Olivia hung up the phone.
"Edward went out?" Alexander already picked up what they were talking about but did not interrupt when Lily was still on the
phone.
"Yeah." She nodded and looked at him. "His legs are fine as well."
Alexander nodded thoughtfully. "Honestly, | was wondering why he was in a wheelchair today. Although he did get injured, he didn't
hurt his legs. | just didn't bother questioning it today. Now, it looks like he does have something to hide from us."

"It is strange for him to point fingers at you like this. Someone must've instructed him to do so. What's the purpose behind this? Is
it just to separate you two?"
‘There must be a motive, but is the person behind this controlling Edward and sowing dissension to get rid of Alexander's right-
hand man? Things won't be that simple.’
"We'll know once we find out who's behind this." Alexander raised his eyebrows and handed the warm milk to Lily. "Leave the rest
to me."
He patted her arms lightly, obviously not intending to let her meddle in these things.
"But, I..." Everything was too strange to Lily. She knew Alexander was the primary target, so she could not just sit back and watch
everything unfold.
However, Alexander interrupted her, "What did you say to Olivia just now?"
