Chapter 272
"Don't ask, just investigate, Xavier's lips barely parted as he spoke. His four words carried an undeniable
authority that couldn't be refused.
"Of course." Timothy could only nod and continue with the Investigation.
Lily drove straight to look for a new apartment. Lupier's sales department was located in a mall, surrounded by
several nice residential areas with plenty of housing available.
In about two hours, she picked a one-bedroom apartment. She signed the rental agreement and paid the rent on
the spot. She then returned to Bayview Garden to move her things.
By the tshe had moved everything over to the new pl
new place, night had already fallen.

As she busied herself cleaning her new home, Lily messaged Maryanne to let her know she had moved.
Maryanne immediately initiated a video call
Lily's phone was still with Xavier, but she had retrieved her SIM card, so communication wasn't affected.
She answered the call, placed the phone on a shelf, and said, "You can cover anytnow. It's a one-
bedroom, and we can share the bed. Most importantly, my mom won't ever show up again."
The most important reason for moving was to escape Hazel and Bobby's clutches. She had no intention of
informing them of her new address, and they had no idea
where she worked.
"What happened?"
Maryanne had been waiting for the good news about her divorce. Instead, what she got was the news of the
move, and was met with Lily's miserable and dejected face on the screen. She knew something bad happened.
Lily summarized what had happened at the courthouse in a few words, and Maryanne responded with one "What
the fuck?" after another. Lily continued to briefly describe her visit to Fulton Manor to clarify the pregnancy and
cheating issues.
"What the fucking hell!" Maryanne exclaimed as she got dressed in a hurry. "Sendyour location right now. We
need to talk about this in person!!!
Maryanne worried that Lily might break down halfway through with no one around to comfort her. Although
Terence always said she wasn't the comforting type, Maryanne thought she could at least give Lily hugs. She
didn't give Lily a chance to refuse, and she hung up the call.
Lily had no choice but to send Maryanne her location, and Maryanne arrived an hour later.
Lily had almost finished unpacking. She had even brought over sof the ingredients from the fridge at
Bayview Gardens. There wasn't much, but it was enough to make two plates of pasta. While Lily cooked the
pasta in the kitchen, Maryanne toured her new apartment. She then went to the dining area.
Maryanne wanted Lily to give a detailed account of the exciting events today. When she saw how focused Lily
was on her cooking, she didn't mention it again. She was afraid it would upset her.
i since he is so adamant about
Maryanne decided to skip the topic and started analyzing Xavier. She wondered, "Tell me, do you think Xavier
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdidn't cheat on you si investigating those photos?"
Lilly placed two plates of pasta on the table, sat down, and poked at her food with her fork, she said without
looking up, "If he didn't cheat, then how do you explain him letting Sarah live in our villa and hiring a lawyer for
her dog?"
In all honesty, the photos didn't prove anything. But when combined with everything Xavier had done, all of it
indirectly confirmed something-
"Then, with Sarah provoking you like that, Xavier must not know, right? Do you think they're probably fighting
right now?" Maryanne said in excitement. She rubbed her hands in glee, eager for a live show.
Lily kept her head down as she ate. As her fork gently clinked against the plate, each sound seemingly struck her
heart. It was hard to put her feelings into words, but she couldn't bring herself to feel happy. Yet, she was
genuinely curious if Xavier would end up arguing with Sarah over this matter.
As she was pondering about this, her phone dinged. A Whatnotification popped up to say her account had
been logged in elsewhere.
Lily panicked as she wondered if that was from the phone with Xavier. Her chat history with Maryanne couldn't
be seen by anyone, especially not Xavier!
