Lily was fair and slender. She did not look very strong, but at that moment, the energy that burst out of
her body surprised even herself.
The situation was urgent, and others might not have seen what had happened. Lily knew from her fight
with Apollo that she was at a slight disadvantage from the start and did not take much advantage of
him.
Although she had practiced kickboxing since she was a child, it was mostly for self-defense, and she
had no choice but to learn it. She was unsure of her own capabilities. She had gotten older and
stopped training after she entered college. Besides practicing the moves with her peers, she only
fought with Justin. Even so, it was just a few moves, so she felt her skills were inferior.
The last time she fought was when she got kidnapped in Westwood. At that time, she was also a little
surprised. After thinking back, she speculated that facing a grave threat had stimulated her body, but
did it happen again?
"What are you thinking about?" Alexander looked up and noticed Lily was in a daze.
"I'm thinking about what Justin will do with Henry," she replied, faintly sighing.
In terms of family, Henry was her maternal uncle and Justin's paternal uncle. When Wilfred was still
alive, he expelled Henry from the Lodge family. However, Henry had returned to cause trouble again.
She had no more words to explain how she felt about it.
Since poison was not the cause of death for Wilfred, the authorities did not consider it a criminal case,
so Henry would not be convicted and sentenced to prison. Henry had returned to the Lodge family to
settle other affairs, and he even brought outsiders into the family residence, trying to seize power.
However, these were part of their family’s business.
‘What will happen since no one got convicted?’
After thinking about it, Alexander said, "If it were Justin, he would send Henry abroad."
“Just send him abroad?"
"If not, would Justin kill him?" Alexander smiled and shook his head, "He won't, and you won't either.”
"How do you know I won't?" It was disgusting to think of Henry's arrogant appearance. He even tried to
frame Lily and make a pawn out of her. If the unwarranted crime were convicted, it would completely
change Lily and Justin's lives.
Alexander noticed Lily's unconvinced expression and smiled, "It's because I know you're a softhearted
person.”
Lily was tough on the tongue. It was easy to be ruthless toward her people, especially her relatives,
Henry and Justin. It seemed to be a commonality of the Lodge family. All except for Henry.
"What about you?" Turning around, Lily faced Alexander, looked into his eyes, and asked, "If it were
you, what would you do with Henry?"
She blinked her eyes curiously, purely because of Alexander's "if it were Justin" just now. That was to
say, Alexander analyzed and considered things from Justin's perspective and personality, not from his
own.
"Me?" Alexander raised his eyebrows and gently caressed Lily's cheek. He said warmly, "Do you really
want to know?"
Lily nodded vigorously while Alexander's smile deepened. He thought about it seriously and replied, "If
it were me, I would let him stay in Sapphine forever and never leave. Only in Sapphine. I will leave a
place for him on the boundary of the land, and he will stay there for the rest of his life."
Lily never expected that answer, "I thought..."
"Why? You thought I'd cut him into pieces instead?" Alexander said half-jokingly. He knew what the
public was saying about him. Lily could not help but laugh, "Y-Yeah!"
