"Yes" Lexrence could no longer contain his curiosity. "Ms. Lynde, what exactly is Lily's background?>>
Sarah gritted her teeth. "She's just an insignificant nobody!"
She wouldn't expose Lily's identity nor let anyone think she took Lily seriously.
He didn't believe her. If Lily was truly just an insignificant nobody, why would Terence and Sarah personally get
involved?
"What about the competition?" He hesitated.
"Let it be for now. We'll deal with it after the next round," she snapped, ending the call with a sharp click.
So, what exactly was going on between Terence and Lily? No wonder the Devereux Group suddenly sponsored

she didn't believe that Terence would go so far for a friend of his sister's. Sponsoring the Avelon Designs
Competition wasn't a small deal. There was a limit to helping
After thinking it over, she called Lawrence back to ask for Terence's contact information. She planned to meet
with him.
When Terence answered her call, he was initially surprised but politely declined her request for a meeting until
she said, "I want to talk to you about Lily.
"Ms. Lynde, | think you have the wrong person. I'm not close with Lily," he replied, not directly agreeing to meet.
Sarah asked, "Il you're not close, why did you step in for her?"
There was a long pause before his calm voice cthrough, "I just want to ensure the fairness of the
competition. | hope you won't disrupt the rules of the design field." "What if | insist on breaking the rules?" She
probed further, testing his limits. "Mr. Devereux, aren't you worried about offending Nova Group over Lily?"
Terence's tone turned icy. "Rules are rules. Whether it's you personally or Nova Group, | won't stand idly by!"
He hung up immediately after speaking.
Just a few words of probing, and she felt like she had figured something out.
She truly couldn't understand what was so special about Lily. What made Terence like a woman who was not only
powerless but had also been married before? Although Sarah's background wasn't high, she had been supported
by the Fulton family since childhood, instilling a deep sense of pride in her.

Perhaps it was out of jealousy as a woma lerence!
Given the mess of the Joyner family, Lily being married to Xavier for two years was already a great blessing. How

Lily's cold lingered for three or four days. She went to the hospital for her daily IV drip in the afternoon and then

He needed to be fed during meals. Even a bowl of oatmeal took almost an hour to finish.
After finishing her IV drips these past few days, she would buy dinner and feed Hayden while eating herself.
"I'm almost done with the cold, so | won't need an IV tomorrow. I'll go back to work, but I'll still cfor dinner
with you every evening."
She brought the oatmeal to his mouth. "Con. Open your mouth."
He remained expressionless, his eyes vacant, notionless.
"Don't you want to eat? Lily coased gently like she was speaking to a child. "What kind of oatmeal do you like?
Tell me, and I'll bring it tomorrow night, okry?"
She tilted her head, trying to block his gaze from drifting to the front, but Hayden still didn't respond. His
condition, as Dr. Rowan explained, was that he had entered a state of self-isulation. Although the incident with
Jasmine hadn't taken his life, it had caused him to lose his spirit.
