Chapter 272


    Eloise snorted and said, “She is not an orphan!” Facing Nathaniel’s confused expression, she


    continued slowly, “Have you heard about what happened to the Lodge family of Brown City?”


    “The Lodge family? Are you referring to one of the biggest families in our country? ording to rumors,


    they know an older form of kickboxing and are very secretive. ‘That’ Lodge family?” Nathaniel asked.


    Of course, he had heard of the well-known family. The country had four famous families. They were the


    Richards, Tanner, Russell, and Lodge families.


    The Lodge family of their city was active in politics and had been for several generations. Theter


    generations produced many good politicians. The family culture was strict, and their foundations were


    firm.


    The Tanner family of Ruby City and the Russell family of Sapphine were from the business world, but


    each had its domain. The Richards were in property development and construction, whereas the


    Russell family was in entertainment. Although they were in different industries, they had a rtionship.


    Word on the street was that they were working together.


    Nheless, the most secretive of the four influential families was the Lodge family of Brown City.

    Some said everybody from the Lodge family was fit and skilled at fighting. They rarely appeared in


    public, and when they did, they looked like gentle academics. Nobody knew if the rumors were true.


    However, Lodge had arge business empire, and nobody in Brown City dared to provoke the Lodge


    family.


    But why did Eloise suddenly mention the Lodge family?


    “Are you saying that Lily has a rtionship with the Lodge family?” Nathaniel asked carefully. He could


    not believe it.


    Eloise did not say anything. The look in her eyes gave him the answer.


    “Impossible!” Nathaniel said resolutely. “Sh*t, perhaps you don’t quite understand Lily as a person. She


    is an ordinary girl who is a talented perfumer. How could she be connected to the Lodge family? She is


    a gentle and fragile girl. Furthermore, her surname is Christian, while the Lodge family is the Lodge


    family. What connection could they have?”


    He refused to believe it.


    He had gone to university with Lily, so they had known each other for a long time. Over all these years,


    he had never met nor heard about her family. If she were connected to the Lodge family, he would


    indeed have met or known about them.


    ‘It must be a mistake.’


    Eloise could onlyugh at his objection. “That doesn’t mean anything. I’m from the Neville family, and


    you are from the Hall family. Aren’t we still rted to each other?”


    “That is not the same. You are my mom, and I…” Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned.


    “Are you saying that…”


    That was right. It did not mean Nathaniel and Eloise were unrted because he and his mother had


    different surnames.


    He thought about it calmly, ‘Does Lily know kickboxing? That day in the alley, she was agile and even


    used a knife to threaten me.’


    When Nathaniel thought about it, he felt a shiver.


    ‘Did that mean that Lily was from the Lodge family? Is she rted to the Lodge family?!’
