Chapter 617
Lily looked around and asked, “What do you want to do?!”
These people were obviously instructed to do this. They just surrounded them and did not make any
subsequent move. Edward stood guard in front of the two of them. He seemed ready to attack at any
time.
“You’re not members of the Lodge family. What are you planning to do on the Lodge family’s ground?”
Lily looked around and noted that they were not members of the Lodge family and reprimanded them.
“Who said they’re not members of the Lodge family?” A man’s voice could be heard coming from
within. A figure walked out of the house, and they automatically gave way for him. It was a familiar face
with some added wrinkles.

be balding. Lily could still recognize he was Henry despite some differences in his look.
“Uncle.” Lily addressed him.
Henry laughed and said, “Good. You still remember me. At least the Lodge family did not raise you for
nothing.”
Lily would have been surprised to see him and thought he came back to mourn if Alexander had not
told her the news on the way here. She now knew that his appearance was not at all what it seemed.
“Uncle, you’d been away without any news for many years. Today is my grandfather’s funeral. What
are you planning to do? Are you planning to use force here?” She squinted at the of people. None of
them were weak.

“I don’t want to use force, but father’s sudden death was strange, and we need to find out why. Lily,
your grandfather raised you and treated you well. Although he was strict with you, that’s not a reason
for you to be so cruel and kill him,” he said emotionally.
Henry’s tone was carefree, but toward the end, he suddenly looked at her sharply as if he was judging
her.
No. Henry was not judging her. He had already convicted her.
“Uncle, I don’t understand. How could I be charged with such a crime when I didn’t do anything? Even
a prisoner has the right to appeal. I agreed with you when you said that my grandfather’s death was
strange. Since we have doubts, we should report it to the police and ask them to investigate.”
He should report to the police to find the real culprit and let the forensics department examine what
happened if Wilfred’s death was suspicious.

“Report it to the police?” Henry sneered and said, “What a joke! Think about the status of the Lodge
family. Wouldn’t it be a joke if I let the police intervene with matters of the Lodge family? Do you think I
don’t know what you have in mind? You’ve likely bribed the police. It doesn’t matter as I had found Dr.
Rollins to do the examinations. Lily… stop looking for excuses!”
Dr. Rollins was the Lodge family’s doctor. He was the person in charge who performed various physical
examinations and provided daily health care for everyone in the Lodge family. It was unknown what Dr.
Rollins’s exact words were.
“You think there was another cause of grandfather’s death, but you did not call the police or look into it.
Instead, you pinned it on me.” Lily stared at him with cold eyes, “Uncle, you’ve been away from home
for so many years and prepared such a big gift for me upon your return?”
Henry nodded, “Yeah, I hadn’t expected that you have become so ruthless during the years. that I was
away!”
