Chapter 1715


    Lily pondered it. She had heard that Leroy had been taken in for questioning recently. Given the size of


    their


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    industry and Leroy''s prominent status, any minor changes in his life would bemon knowledge


    in their


    circle. Furthermore, she had also heard... that Leroy was being framed.


    Lily observed the person in front of her. This was Leroy''s star pupil, but now it seemed that Leroy had


    raised a tiger.


    "Why, Ms. Winde." Lily swirled her coffee. "Don''t be so reserved. Don''t you want to share this news


    with me?"


    "It''s not that..." Amanda chuckled awkwardly. "It''s just that there''s not much to say."


    Lily didn''t press further, her gaze lingering on the handbag beside Amanda.


    "Is this bag to your taste?"


    "Of course, it''s perfect!" Amanda replied excitedly. "It''s a gift from you, Ms. Reyes, so how can it not be


    perfect? I


    use it every day. Only generous people like you can afford these brands. I''ve been thinking about your


    kindness and


    I wanted to reciprocate today, but you..."


    "No need to reciprocate." Lily smiled. "This bag was a gift from someone else. The design is too trendy


    for me. I''m


    getting older, and it doesn''t suit me. But you''re youthful and vibrant, so this bag is perfect for you!"


    Amanda was on cloud nine after being praised. This handbag had been sent to her by Lily after their


    last meal. The


    brand and style were umon, and carrying this bag was a symbol of status.


    Amanda hadn''t expected that Lily would so casually give away a bag worth tens of thousands of


    dors. She had


    been carrying it non-stop and had even ced it on her bedside when she slept.


    "This bag suits you," Lily said, looking at her meaningfully. "But the man you want isn''t as easy to get


    as a bag."


    "Ms... Ms. Reyes, what are you saying?"


    "Don''t pretend you don''t understand," Lily continued. "Daniel may appear calm and intelligent, but from


    what I


    know, he''s never been calm when ites to Maisie. If you mess with someone dear to him, he might


    lose his


    temper and take down the Cumulus Morning Post!"


    "Ms. Reyes, are you joking?"


    "Don''t be nervous. I was just using a metaphor," Lily said with a smile. "You wouldn''t possibly mess


    with someone


    dear to him, right?"


    Amanda looked rather flustered. She ran a hand through her hair, then lifted her coffee cup to cover her


    face.


    Lily stood up and bid her farewell. "Let''s end our discussion for today."


    "But Ms. Reyes, you haven''t even taken a sip of your coffee..."


    "I know this ce is known for its mhiatos, but didn''t the staff tell you? Ie here for the hand-


    brewed


    Yirgacheffe!"


    "What?" Amanda stared, looking dumbfounded. "You''re a... member here?"


    Lily smiled. "I''m a shareholder!"


    Amanda stood there in shock. Unintentionally, she had chosen a cafe belonging to Lily when all she''d


    wanted was to


    save on meal expenses!


    "Alright, this meal is on the house! Feel free to enjoy and order some more drinks. They serve other


    excellent


    beverages too!"


    As Lily left, she patted Amanda on the shoulder twice, leaving her with an enigmatic smile.


    Unbeknownst to


    Amanda, the cafe''s surveince cameras were recording everything.
