Chapter 224
In the Fulton family, Sarah wasn't even considered a guest,
When the word "outsider" was used, the stark contrast in status between Sarah and Lily becglaringly
obvious.
However, Lily couldn't take any satisfaction in it. She prepared to stand up, but Edith ordered her to stay.
"Lily, you handle it," Edith said.
Lily pressed her lips together and glanced at Xavier. Before she could gauge his reaction, Xavier made it clear
with his actions that he didn't need her.

He grabbed the medical kit, placed it in front of Sarah, and rolled up his sleeve, extending his hand. "You do it."
"okay." Sarah squatted beside him and cleaned the wound with an iodine-soaked cotton swab.
Lily's gaze remained indifferent, her face calm as she glanced at them momentarily before turning away. "I'll go
help in the kitchen."
Avoiding them seemed like the best approach for her.
Edith got up to follow her, and as she passed Xavier, she scolded him without concem for Sarah's presence.
"How are you still alive with that wound?"
Xavier was left speechless. He didn't mind the harsh words-she was his grandmother, after all.
His gaze shifted to Lily entering the Idtchen. She wouldn't dare confront him, only sulking silently in the
background.
"Xavier, Grandma still doesn't likemuch, are you sure we should stay for lunch? Sarah had finished treating
his wound, packed away the medical lit, and now turned to ask Xavier for confinnation.
She had been careful lately, avoiding provoking Lily. But Xavier had been the one to make moves, like arranging
that dinner together. And now, bringing her to the Fulton Manor.
She knew today was meant to be a family gathering. Xavier must have planned it so the family would be ready
to accept her, so he wasn't bothered by the rumors and brought her along,
"Of course," Xavier replied firmly. After briefly pausing, he added, "Did you bring the contract with Mr. Mckay?"
Sarah nodded. "Yes, I did."
"Good. Later, explain the details of the collaboration to my mother."
Bringing Sarah here was partly to annoy Lily. But it also happened to be a good opportunity to handle swork
matters. Xavier had a sense of propriety and didn't act reddessly except when it cto Lily. Half an hour later,
Tamara and Shane returned, and the meal officially began.

The atmosphere at the dining table was somewhat tense. Shane exchanged a glance with Edith, wondering how
Sarah had ended up here.
Edith glanced at Xavier briefly, silently signaling that Xavier had invited her, but Tamara didn't seem to notice
anything amiss and casually engaged Sarah in conversation about work
Suddenly, Sarah changed the subject, pointing at Lily. "Mrs. Fulton has been managing the company for so many
years, so she's very experienced in business matters. Ms. Joyner should learn more from Mrs. Fulton to gain
workplace experience. It would be beneficial for your career."
The room fell silent in an instant.
"Lily, you're working?" Edith put down her utensils and wiped her mouth with a tissue, looking at Lily in surprise.
Shane and Tamara shared her reaction as well. "Yes." The question cso suddenly that Lily quickly swallowed.
Her mind raced, unsure how to explain. "Absurd!" Tamara's expression darkened, exuding an overwhelming,
oppressive aura.
Sarah secretly smirked. She suspected the Fulton family didn't know Lily had been working, Wouldn't this be a
major embarrassment for them?
