Loid's slender fingers stiffened slightly as his gaze met Lily's. His eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. What a sharp look. Though she appeared calm, her eyes were intensely penetrating, as if she could see through his mask and face. After a long moment of eye contact, Loid looked away with a smile. "Indeed, it's worth more than my necklace." The Martinez family members widened their eyes in shock. What was wrong with Loid? That item was cheap, so why did he say it was worth more than Emerald Love? Loid pocketed the item and looked down at Lily. "Are you leaving? I'll give you a ride." His voice was warm. "Sure." Lily didn't think of herself as an outsider at all. She quickly turned and left without any hesitation. The Martinez family was left feeling both a mess and angry. “Grandma, are you really going to let Lily marry Loid? She's already so arrogant now. If she actually marries him, won't she just walk all over us?" Shelby said through gritted teeth. She was nearly driven mad by Lily just now, but with Loid there, she didn't dare to do anything to Lily. Julia also looked upset. She looked at Shannon, her gaze cold. "Shannon, do you really want to marry Loid?" Shannon bit her lip, jealousy almost spilling from her eyes. However, she hid it before Julia. She nodded, speaking softly, "Yes, Grandma. After all, Lily wasn't raised in our family and has no feelings for us. Now, she'll use Loid to bully us. I can't stand it. As a child of the Martinez family, I should do something for the family." "Good." Julia smiled with satisfaction. "I knew I didn't dote on you in vain. Let's go hfirst. I'll think of a way to handle this." No one in the Martinez family objected to Julia's decision, and they all followed her home. Loid dismissed Shaun and Daniel on the way to sending Lily back. He drove with Lily sitting in the front passenger seat. Lily leaned back in her seat, playing with her phone the entire time. The streetlights illuminated her cold face, adding a touch of radiance. “If you don't want to marry me, I can cancel the engagement," Loid said midway through the drive, glancing at Lily calmly. Lily had just started a new game. Hearing this, she looked up and raised an eyebrow at him. Loid's well-defined fingers turned white as his grip tightened on the steering wheel. He stopped the car and leaned slightly toward her, his thin lips parting. "If you're being forced, you can choose not to marry me." Lily rested her head on her hand by the window and remarked casually, "I heard you're quite rich." "Richer than most," Loid said, opening the window and lighting a cigarette. “And pretty powerful," Lily said softly as if stating a simple fact. “Most people wouldn't dare mess with me." Loid took a drag and exhaled a smoke ring, his deep eyes flashing. Lily nodded, lowering her gaze. "I'm lacking both money and power." Loid paused for a moment before curling his lips. "Alright." He flicked away the cigarette and restarted the car. Instead of taking Lily back to Martinez Residence, he took her out for a meal. Loid guessed she had to be hungry since neither he nor the Martinez family members had eaten dinner. After dinner, he drove Lily back to Martinez Residence. She asked him to drop her off at the gate. She waited until Loid's car had left before squinting her eyes and heading to Lagersfield City Hospital. She stopped in front of an office building behind the inpatient department. The office building's front door was locked, and it was pitch-black inside. Lily glanced up, her lips curling into a mischievous smile. She looked around, then moved to the back of the office building. Pulling her hands out of her pockets, she skillfully leaped onto the wall, grabbing the second-floor window grate and flipping herself up. In a few movements, she climbed up to the sixth floor, opened a window, and jumped inside. The streetlights outside cast faint glimmers of light into the room, where it was otherwise quite dark. She walked directly to a cabfilled with documents. She pulled a small silver pin from her pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. With a click, the cabopened. Lily turned on her phone's flashlight and searched through the files for a while before finally finding the one she was looking for. A moment later, Lily frowned. Her eyes narrowed as her body turned cold. The document she held was the legal document for Jason's organ donation, with Jason's nneatly signed at the bottom. It was his handwriting. Lily's eyes narrowed further, and she radiated an icy chill. Footsteps echoed down the hallway. Lily put away the agreement and jumped out of the window. On her way back, Lily called Duncan. "The donation documents are real!" It was a cold day, and a gust of wind blew, making Lily pull her jacket tighter. Duncan, who was dealing with a tricky situation, looked up in surprise. "Really? You're not joking?" Lily pulled her baseball cap lower, feeling both irritated and annoyed. "It's his signature." "This is strange. He was in a car accident, but he was taken to have his heart donated before his family even arrived. He should've been unconscious at that time, so how could he sign the donor consent form?" Duncan dropped his usual calm demeanor and turned serious. They had always thought the donation agreement was forged, which was how Jason's heart had been taken so quickly. But unexpectedly, it was Jason's signature. Lily's eyes narrowed further with a dangerous glint. "This is not as simple as it seems." When Jason had his accident, the hospital told her he had signed a heart donation agreement and had undergone surgery before being taken for cremation. Only two hours had passed from the tof Jason's accident to her arrival. The hospital couldn't even wait for the family to arrive before rushing him to the crematorium. When she questioned the doctor who received Jason's heart, the doctor evaded her questions. She did everything she could to uncover the truth, but even powerful officials who helped her investigate cback empty-handed. They all told her that this matter could not be investigated. Lily refused to give up, however. She investigated further to find out that Loid had undergone heart surgery at this hospital on the sday. It couldn't be a coincidence that Jason's heart was donated just as Loid had surgery. The Laurier family certainly could cause the accident and then secretly take Jason's heart. But Jason's signature was genuine. What had gone wrong in between? "If you ask me, you shouldn't marry Loid to get the truth. Just poison him and the truth will cout," Duncan said through gritted teeth. “He's not as simple as you think." There was a glint in Lily's eyes, and her lips curled slightly. "Do you wantto cback and help you?" Duncan frowned. "If Loid is really that dangerous, you're in danger!" "No need. I can handle it," Lily said coldly before hanging up.
