Chapter 630
“Maybe the news hasn’t got out yet,” Lily smacked her lips and added, “Olivia, I need you to be the one
to spread this news.”
“Spread what…” Oliva hesitated, then asked, “Why do you need me to spread the word? The Lodge
family won’t be releasing this news to the public?”
This should be something the family had to announce to the public, especially when it was about
Wilfred, an important figure in the country. News about him would surely be published newspapers, and
all the prestigious families in the country would attend his funeral.
Olivia had nothing to do with the Lodge family. Wasn’t it a bit strange for her to be the one to release
the news to the public?
“There’s a problem back at home, which is why…I need your help,” Lily clarified as she heard a knock
on the door.
She turned to look, and in came Alexander, followed by Edward behind him. Alexander had planned to
tell her something but saw that she was talking on the phone, so he refrained. Instead, he turned to
Edward and instructed softly, “You can leave now.”
“Yes, Mr. Russell,” Edward replied.
Lily wondered how Olivia could have heard Edward’s voice through the phone when he was not even
loud, to begin with, “Lily, I think…I heard Edward’s voice.”
“Yeah, that’s Edward. He’s also here. Why? Do you have something to say to him?” Lily said while
walking toward Edward.
When Edward heard his name mentioned, he turned back to Lily.
“No, no, I don’t have anything important to say to him,” Olivia quickly denied. However, moments later,
she could not help but ask, “Erm… I was just wondering if his cell phone is still not working.”
“His cell phone?” Lily glanced briefly at Edward and then at her own phone. Then, she smiled. and
said, “There’s someone curious about your phone, whether it is working or not?”
Lily had intentionally raised her volume so that Olivia could hear her over the phone.
Edward frowned but nodded honestly, “Yes, it’s still not working,” Then, he quickly explained to
Alexander, “It happened just yesterday. I’m using the backup cell phone now, but I’ll get it fixed as soon
as possible.”
Alexander nodded, “You don’t have to explain yourself to me.” In other words, Alexander thought, ‘I
was not the one who asked, so you should be explaining to the one who asked. instead.‘
Lily spoke into the phone, “Did you hear that? His cell phone is still not working properly. Do you have
anything else you want to ask, Ms. Olivia Hart?”
Lily intentionally called out Olivia’s full name to tease her. Olivia was flustered and immediately
explained, “Hey, I was only asking! Lily, why are you teasing me? Y–You’re so mean!”
Then, Olivia hung up.
When Lily was done teasing Olivia, she immediately handed the phone to Edward, but they heard
Olivia hang up before he could answer. Lily and Edward could only look at each other in awkward
silence.
“Erm…” she took her phone back and asked Edward, “What’s your backup number? Could you tell
me?”
