Chapter 627
Justin’s doors remained open beyond Lily’s expectations. It was as if he was waiting for her. Although
Justin did not close the door, Lily glanced inside the room, raised her hand, and knocked on the door
twice.
“Come in,” Justin’s voice sounded.
Lily noticed only one dimly lit lamp turned on in the room. Justin was sitting on a chair by the window
with a cup of coffee in front of him. It smelled fragrant, but it seemed as if he did not. even take a sip.
“Justin.”
“Sit down,” he said. His eyes remained calm as he glanced at Lily.
Although there was still no expression on his face, Lily thought his eyes looked much better than when
they were in the mourning hall.
“You…” After hesitating, she wanted to ask Justin something but needed to figure out where
to start.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come back? You’re still so stubborn,” Justin started the conversation. Although
he complained, Lily could hear that he was concerned.
“Do you
think I could still escape if I don’t come back?” Lily smiled bitterly in disapproval, and she looked at
Justin thoughtfully.
He just sat quietly, staring at the large forest outside the window. He could only see faint shadows at
that moment, but his eyes fell in that direction. Justin did not speak, but Lily still had a lot of questions
to ask.
She glanced toward the door. Since it remained open, her line of sight was unobstructed, and she
could see at a glance if anyone was outside.
In the mourning hall earlier, Justin interrupted her words, obviously not letting her ask more questions.
She guessed it was because someone might have been eavesdropping. Since they were here now,
there should not be any issues.
“What happened to Henry?” she asked bluntly.
Although he was their uncle, he must still gain respect to be worthy of that title. Otherwise, it was just a
name.
Justin did not respond but instead pursed his lips.
“I kept thinking about it. Was it a big scene just to push you off your seat? In the end, was it for power
over the Lodge family that you had?”
Justin remained silent, and Lily did not give up. She continued asking questions, “I just don’t
understand. Why are you afraid of him? Why did you take the initiative to hand over the Lodge family’s
control to someone else?”
“You think I’m afraid of him?” Finally speaking, Justin glanced at her. He shook his head and chuckled.
Then he stretched and picked up the coffee cup to take a sip.
“It’s been a few years since you took over the family. Even if he comes back and is an elder, he
can’t simply take it away from you. Also, what happened to grandpa? Was there a problem with the
scented candles?”
There was a lab report, but Henry revealed it. Who knew if there was any manipulation?
Still, Lily trusted Justin. After all, they grew up together. Justin seemed indifferent and reserved, but he
was cold on the outside and warm on the inside.
For example, he would help her find out about Nathaniel. Justin would even reconcile and repair Lily’s
relationship with her grandfather. He even called her not to return.
Slowly putting down the cup, he lowered his eyes and nodded lightly. His movements were gentle, but
Lily saw it very clearly. It meant that there was something wrong with the scented candles.
His complexion became solemn. Lily had made the scented candles, and she had absolute confidence
that there were no mistakes in the preparation process.
She added some medicinal materials and carefully checked and researched those materials. The
materials were beneficial for sleeping and calming one’s nerves, and there were no toxic side effects.
She tested them several times, which delayed the whole production.
