Chapter 39


    Chapter 39


    There was even arge number of fans dering online that they were going to leave the fandom, and


    swore to hate Lily forever.


    Meanwhile, several of Lily’s loyal fans expressed their disbelief and suspected that there had been a


    mistake made during one of the investigative stages.


    Simrly, Lily was also skeptical.


    The police had actually issued an investigative report, and yel she had found out about it at the same


    time as the other online


    users.


    A shiver ran through Lily’s body. How could this be?!


    Did it mean that the public image she had built up these past few years and the career she fought so


    hard for would be ruined in a day?


    And yet, the worst had yet toe…


    At the Reed Group, Jason’s personal secretary, Terrence directly called both the Atkinson and Stevens


    families to inform them of his employer’s non-attendance at their engagement dinner.


    Everyone naturally associated it with Lily’s current negative press.


    When Grace saw the police-issued investigation report, she was somewhat surprised.


    She had not been expecting it to be released so quickly and that both Sean and Lily had been unable


    to brush this under the


    table.


    “That Lily sure is detestable. That day, she wanted so many of us to look for the ring, and ultimately,


    she hadn’t really lost anything!?” In the Sanitation Service Center, everyone was wildlymenting on


    the incident.


    “It’s no wonder this is going viral-she’s heinous.”


    “But this really doesn’t make any sense. I mean, she’s such a huge celebrity, why would she im that


    she lost a ring and want us to look for it?” Someone asked confusedly.


    “She has nothing better to do.”


    ire pulled Grace aside and asked, “That day… I noticed Lily speaking with you for quite some time.


    Do you know her?”


    Farah Steele, who happened to be walking past at that moment, heard the question and mockingly


    replied, “ire, are you joking? Grace might know Lily, but how would Lily know Grace? She’s a


    socialite from a respected family.”


    “But I saw Lily and Grace talking the day of the incident.”


    “Maybe Grace offended Lily. That’s why such a huge celebrity would intentionally im that she lost a

    ring,” Farah replied.


    Then, she continued as if she had captured the culprit, “Well done, Grace. It turns out that you were the


    one who dragged everyone into looking through the rubbish with you.”


    Farah persisted in finding fault with Grace because Chase had a


    crush on her.


    “That’s not true nor is it fair,” ire said. “Why would you me this incident on Grace?”


    Grace’s cold gaze swept across Farah. “So if someone is being deceitful, you don’t shame that person


    but me someone else for hurting that deceitful person? Your perception of right and wrong sure is


    interesting.”


    Farah’s face turned red and she had no way of refuting. She could only re at Grace with hatred


    before stomping away.


    In the Atkinson family mansion, Lily and her father stood with bated breath in therge hall as they


    waited for Jason.


    “You immature girl, how could you have stirred up such trouble? Grace is currently just a sanitation


    worker. There’s such a huge difference in both of your social standings. What is there topare?”


    Harold med his daughter.


    “Why did she have to murder my sister? If it weren’t for her, Jason wouldn’t have taken his anger out on


    the Stevens family. It’s all her fault! And what about the projection ads that Seanmissioned -did


    you forget about those? Jason Reed had all


    of those taken down too!” Lily shouted.


    Harold’s expression shifted. His lips moved slightly but he


    ultimately remained silent.
