Chapter 370
“You know about that?” | was genuinely surprised. ‘How could Nathan let his sister in on a secret like that?"
“I asked him about it, because he used to secretly sketch the back of a woman,” Lily said, sipping her coffee. “He
even toldhe might never get to meet you in this life, but now, he finally has.”
| had to admit, Nathan was really persistent. Who else would secretly be in love with just the back of someone
for years?
After Lily set down her cup, she suddenly asked, “Victoria, could I ask you for something?”
My hand tensed slightly around my glass as | looked up at her.
Lily looked like she wanted to say something, but couldn't quite get the words out.

“Just tell me. If | can help, | will,” | said. ‘For Nathan's sake, as long as it’s not too much to ask, I'll do what I can,’
| thought to myself.

Lily frowned, like she was having a hard tgetting the words out.
“Is something bothering you?” | asked with a smile.
Lily finally took a deep breath, lookedstraight in the eye, and said seriously, “I want to ask you to leave my
brother. Would you do that?”
| was stunned. So that’s what this is about? My smile froze on my face.
Lily caught the change in my face and kept going, “I know it’s a lot to ask, but my brother promised a woman
years ago that he’d marry her. Now that you're here, you've cbetween them.”
Her words hitlike a stone tossed into still water-I was left reeling.
“Your brother has a fiancée?” | asked, keeping my voice steady.
“Not exactly a fiancée, but if you hadn't shown up, they probably would've gotten married in a year or two,” Lily
said.
When | didn’t say anything, she continued, “My brother was willing to marry her before, but now... he’s found
you, and you two are together. It's breaking another woman's heart.”
| frowned, realizing maybe I'd been way too naive. A guy like Nathan-good-looking, talented-was probably
already being groomed by sinfluential family to be their future son-in-law.
So who was | kidding, thinking I could just swoop in and get lucky with someone like him?
But now, I'd still ended up messing up the peace between him and another woman, turning into the kind of girl |
always despised.
“Sorry, | honestly had no idea about any of this. Can you tellexactly what's going on?” | didn’t want to be
like Tracy, and 1 definitely didn’t want to hurt another woman. If | really did, I'd walk away without a second
thought.
“Honestly, | don’t even know how to start explaining this to you. All | know is, as long as you're around, my
brother will never marry her,” Lily said, her frustration clear on her face.
“Just take your time. I'm not in a rush,” | replied, determined to get to the bottom of this. ‘I need to know exactly
what's going on here, | thought to myself.

Lily let out a sigh and finally started explaining, “When my brother first started his company, a work partner
invested two hundred
into his research. That partner has a daughter named Emily Chancellor. He's also my mom's classmate, so our
families have been close for years.”
| froze, finally understanding what was going on.
“Emily’s three years older thanand still studying abroad. She... she really admires my brother. She even
knows he’s been secretly in love with someone for years, so she’s always tried to dress like the kind of girl he
likes. Two years ago, my brother finally agreed that after she graduates, he'd give her a real chance at a
relationship,” Lily said, sneaking a glance at me. “I never thought you'd end up being the one to shake things up
between them.”
