Chapter 922
She didn't want to deal with complicated family dynamics, but she knew that by marrying Alexander, it was inevitable. There were bound to
be more situations like these in the future. Did that mean that she would have to turn to him for help each time?
She wanted to stand up for herself so that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, even though he pampered and protected her. To
avoid holding him back or causing him to worry about her, she wanted him to know that she could stand up for herself.
After taking a couple of aspirin and drinking another glass of water, Lily felt a little better and had more strength than before.
"Madame, are you feeling better? Do you want to go to the hospital?’ The maid asked worriedly.
Lily shook her head. "Is there any food at home?"
"I've made pumpkin soup and bread. It's still warm. Would you like some?"

of bread and invite the guests in."
"All right," the maid responded.
Lily supported herself by leaning one hand against the table, feeling her legs a little unsteady as she
stood up. Standing in front of the mirror, she saw she looked a little pale. In the end, she put on some
makeup to make herself look more presentable.
Til just go out and meet them. How bad can they be? If they act like guests, I'll treat them as one. If
they're rude, I'll just chase them out. How bad can it be?'
Outside the door, Celine was fanning herself and Margaret.
It was noon, so the sun shone brightly. It was uncomfortable forthem to be under the sun like this.
Margaret's scowl widened and her expression of impatience became more pronounced.
"See, Mom? I told you. This was the same thing that happened to me yesterday."
Fanning herself, she continued, "At least she didn't send US away directly. However, she's taking so
long to answer the door. If people knew about our family's affair, we'd be the laughingstock of the town.
Surely no grandma would come to visit their grandson only to be denied entry upon arrival. Alex used
to have some manners in the past. I feel like he's becoming more outrageous after being with this
woman!" Celine snorted unhappily.
The dissatisfaction from yesterday had accumulated, and Margaret's face was as dark and cold.
"Are you done? Arent you tired?" She was already upset, and Celine's yapping next to her annoyed
Margaret even more.

grandson? I know what you're up to, little vixen!'
It was obvious. All these women tried to be with Alexander for the Russell family's properties and money.
Margaret initially thought that with Alexander's temperament, he would not spare a second glance at women like Lily and that it was all just
fun and games. Little did Margaret know that someone managed to swoop in and marry him.
Looking back, it wasn't a surprise either. He had been disobedient since he was a child, and he would do anything to go against her.
Alexander's mother was just like him. After she died, Alexander was the only one left to irritate Margaret.
Margaret was interested to see the woman who subdued that disobedient brat. The door clicked open just as she was beginning to delve
deeply into her thoughts.
"Madams, Mrs. Russell would like to invite you two in," the maid greeted.
