Chapter 250: Is This Ring Yours?
Lily feels much better after two days' rest, but Louis forcefully asks her to rest another more days
because her ankle is still swollen.
On Monday, she goes to the police station.
The two policemen who gives Lily a ticket is discreet and respectful when they see her arrive. Then,
together with around seven people who have run the red lights, Lily has a lesson on traffic education in
the classroom.
On the way back, Louis calls her and teases, "Is the traffic education class over?"
"It's over." Lily takes a deep breath. She can't be angry with this man. She has to go to work in the
Smith Group. "I'll go to the hospital to see my mother and then go to the Smith Group."
"Bring me a lunch when you come here."
"Do you have your secretary order it, don’t you?" Lily says angrily, "I'm not a takeout-deliveryman. If I
come over at two o'clock, then you will have your lunch at that time?"
"Yes."
Before Lily can speak, he hangs up the phone, leaving Lily angry and helpless.
Lily takes the chicken soup to the hospital to see Daisy. Daisy has been lying in the hospital bed for
several days, and her complexion is getting better and better. And she even starts knitting sweaters.
Daisy whispers, "The doctor who comes to check on me every day is not bad. He is a 28-year-old man,
who is 1.8 meters height. I believe he is your type."
Lily rolls her eyes, saying, "Who tells you that I like handsome men?"
"Isn't that so?" Daisy asks curiously, "President Smith is quite handsome too. However, it's just a pity NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
that...."
"Eat your meal," Lily stuffs the soup bowl into her hand, saying, "If you want to find something to do,
please care about Joey and Coffey more. Don't focus on me!"
Daisy says earnestly, "You are the eldest sister, so you must set a good example."
"...."
Suddenly, the door of the ward is knocked on. Lily looks over and sees a lady, who is wearing a purple
dress, standing in front of the door. She looks elegant and generous with a pair of gentle eyes.
"Are you Miss Lily?"
"I am," Lily asks, "What's wrong?"
The lady smiles and says, "May I talk with you privately for five minutes?"
Lily nods.
A minute later, they arrive at a beverage shop outside the hospital.
When the waiter brings the drinks and leaves, Lily says to the lady, "Now what do you want to tell me?"
"My surname is Akihito and my given name is Yuna. My husband runs a group in RB," The lady takes
out a gilded business card from her bag and gives it to Lily, saying, "Tokuo is my nephew."
Lily glances at the business card and laughs, "Oh, you're Tokuo's family. What do you meet me for? Do
you want me to donate bone marrow to him?"
"No, the bone marrow that matches Tokuo has been found. I would like to ask you to drop the charges
against Absalom," Yuna says with an embarrassment.
"I know that you are Absalom's daughter. He might have let you and your mother down in the past and
harmed you because Tokuo, but please forgive him."
"He is an RB citizen. If he leaves a criminal record here, it will be very troublesome for him to take over
the group in the future. I apologize to you for him."
"I won't revoke it," Lily says coldly. This woman's attitude is very sincere, but she doesn't accept it. "He
did that, so he has to bear the consequences himself!"
Yuna gets up from her chair and bows deeply to her, saying, "Miss Lily, please forgive him. We will give
you any compensation you want."
"I won't." Lily sees that it is getting late and she has to buy lunch for Louis, so she stands up and says,
"This drink is on me."
She opens her bag and takes out her wallet. The bag strap accidentally hooks to the corner of the
table, and a lot of things get out and fell to the ground. A small thing rolls to Yuna's feet.
Yuna picks up the ring.
The ring holder is exquisitely crafted, and there is an almost perfect sapphire embedded on it. It looks
worth a lot of money.
"This ring, this ring...," Yuna stammers. She grabs Lily and asks her anxiously, "Is this ring yours?"
Lily is in pain from being grabbed by her. "You let go of me," she shouts.
"Is it yours?" Yuna asks anxiously, and then frowns with an extremely painful expression. Then she
tries to take something from her bag.
Before she can open the bag, she has a splitting headache and falls to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Seeing the lady lying unconsciously on the ground, Lily immediately rushes out to
call for a doctor to take Yuna to the hospital.
The doctor says that she fainted from excitement, and she will wake up soon.
"That's good," Lily lets out a sigh of relief. She almost thought that she was going to be seen as a
murderer just now. "Then I leave her to you. I'll pay her fees," she says.
The doctor was confused, asking, "Isn't she your mother?"
"No, my mother is lying in another ward!" Lily is somewhat embarrassed. She doesn't want to explain
this to the doctor and just leaves.
After Lily leaves, the doctor looks at the X-ray film and mutters, "I was going to say that there is a clot in
your mother's brain and ask you should I have an operation to remove it? But she is not your mother...."
Forget it. After all, she is just an outsider for this woman.
On the way to the Smith Group after buying lunch, Lily takes out the ring from her bag and stares at it
puzzledly, thinking of the excited look on Yuna's face.
Something flashed through her mind.
"How much did that pair of earrings sell in the auction last time?" Lily mutters and wants to ask Coffey.
She feels that Yuna also thought this ring is worth collecting, so she was so excited that she fainted.
After all, some jewelry-loving women would be extremely excited when they see good-looking jewelry.
After arriving at the company, Lily sees some reporters standing at the gate. Out of curiosity, she goes
to ask them. Only then does she learn that Louis is holding a press conference upstairs, and Stella is
also there.
The press conference is also broadcast live on the big screens outside of this building and the screens
in the lobby.
"Everyone, President Smith and I are just good friends. It's because Master Smith is in poor health that
we pretended to be married in order to make him happy," Stella says with a smile on her face.
She clarifies that the marriage between Smith family and Scott family does not exist at all.
The reporters don't believe it. After all, the news of the marriage between Smith family and Scott family
has spread like wildfire a month ago, and the people all over the country have known about it.
However, after Louis clarifies, the reporters have to believe it. One person's clarification may be fake,
but both of them are clarifying in front of the people of the whole country. So that must be the truth.
A reporter questioned Stella bitingly, "Miss Stella, I heard that there is a man who will marry you. Can it
be that you fell in love with that man, which caused President Smith to become angry, and you two
secretly divorced??"
"President Smith and I are just friends. We're not married," Stella smiles politely and says, "If you don't
believe me, you can go check with the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"Then what's going on between you and that man? I heard that he's President Smith's eldest brother."
Louis gets up from his chair with a cold and oppressive gaze, saying, "The marriage between Miss
Stella and me is fake. Do you understand now?"
The reporters are scared, and they have to nod.
"Understood."
Under this circumstance, if Louis doesn't make it clear quickly, he won't even be able to keep his
job.
