Chapter 401: Is It Necessary to Bear a Grudge?


    Louis closes the door with a poker face.


    Returning to the bedroom, he sees that the bed is in a mess and that the woman is sleeping soundly


    with the nket in her hand. His heart is pounding. Then, he walks towards her, carrying her to the


    bathroom to bathe her.


    After soaking in the bathtub for a while, the woman opens her eyes and looks at him.


    "Louis." She mumbles as shees over to hug him and kiss his throat. Her head rubs against his


    chest, softening his heart.


    He pushes her away and says with coldness, "You can do it by yourself!"


    "No, I''d like you to help me." Lily gets closer and shows off as a child, "I yed snooker with someone


    in a billiard room and got full marks."


    She raises her head, looking at him with hazy eyes and an adorable face, "Aren''t you going to praise


    me?"


    Louis says with an expressionless face, "Give me your hands."


    "Alright." she looks injured, letting go of him and stretching out her hands. Her arms are white and thin


    as if they could be broken with just a little strength.


    Louis looks even graver. He thinks to himself, ''How has John been treating her? Why is she still so


    thin?''


    He helps her clean her body while she''s sitting there and keeps quiet.


    Louis thinks that she has be a quiet girl now, so he looks up. It turns out that she has fallen asleep


    with her head hanging down, which looks innocent to him.


    The man is angry and helpless. After the bath, he wraps a towel around her body and carries her out.


    Right after putting her on the bed, he hears a ringtone.


    It''s from Lily''s handbag.


    He opens the handbag and takes out her vibrating mobile phone. The caller ID says "John", which


    brings him to his senses. His face falls.


    ''Ie all the way here to find trouble for myself!''


    Louis puts on his suit coat. Before leaving, he nces at the woman who is still asleep. His eyes


    darken as he takes out a wad of money from his wallet and ces it on the bedside table.


    ...


    When Lily wakes up, it is the next morning.


    She sits in bed for a while and remembers what happenedst night.


    The nket beside her is cold, and she doesn''t know how long the man has been gone.


    "Damn it. Macit hasn''t signed the document yet!" Recalling the important thing, Lily gets up right away


    to look for her clothes, only to find that her dress has been ruined.


    Then, she sees a brand-new ink-blue dress and a bra on the chair beside her.


    ''It''s nice of him to prepare new clothes for me.''


    Lily smiles. She puts on her clothes and picks up the phone on the bedside table. Then, she sees the


    money.


    It is 888.


    The number reminds Lily of the night when they first met at Z&J Hotel.

    When she woke up in the morning, she also put down 888 before leaving.


    There is a note under the money. She picks it up and reads the beautiful handwriting: Ms. Lily, you''ve


    worked hardst night. This is your reward.


    Lily''s smile dies.


    ''You''re thirty years old. Is it necessary to bear a grudge?''


    However, she has no time for the man since she has more important things to do. While packing up her


    stuff and leaving, she calls John.


    "Lily?"


    "Sorry, I think I messed it up." Lily apologizes, "I was watching Macitst night. Then, I was too sleepy,


    so I found a room to get some rest. I didn''t expect to sleep overnight or miss your call. I''m going to find


    you now. And I''ll talk to your father."


    "I''m d that you''re okay." John is relieved, "Where are you?"


    "I''m going down to the lobby."


    "I just came back to the hotel to get my things. Then I''ll wait for you in the lobby."


    "Alright, I''ll be there soon!"


    Lily isbing her hair in front of the elevator mirror. When she finds that her mouth is broken and dry,


    she curses the man over and over in his heart. Then, she takes out her lip gloss from her bag and


    applies it.


    In the lobby, she sees John sitting in the lounge area and walks over.


    "Your father didn''t scold you, did he?"


    John gets up from the sofa and sweeps over her. When he sees her broken lips and the red mark on


    her neck, his smile fades.


    Last night, Lily said that she saw Louis and he didn''t believe her. But then he saw Louis, too. Seeing


    Lily like this, he figures that they were together.


    He has been worried about her, without expecting that she haspany.


    John clenches his fists.


    ''I have managed to keep her by my side. Now, will she go back to Louis?''


    "John, did, did your father scold you?" Lily doesn''t get the answer, so she bes more nervous, "I''m


    sorry, I''ve slept too much."


    Stopping thinking about Louis, John shakes his head, "No. A lot happenedst night."


    Lily frowns, "What''s wrong?"


    "This is not a good ce to talk." John says. Seeing that the elevator door is open and that several


    men walk out, he takes a few steps and stands beside Lily.


    Then, he takes off his coat and drapes it over her body, "It''s a little cold outside. Put it on. Let’s go back


    and talk."


    "Alright."


    Lily doesn''t notice the men behind her, walking out of the hotel shoulder to shoulder with John.


    "Should we say that Ms. Lily ys her cards well or is heartless?" Justin looks at the couple in front of


    him and nces at the gloomy-eyed man beside him, "John came to the hotel several timesst night


    and was looking for her like crazy while she was with Mr. Smith. Now, she is going home with John as if


    nothing has happened."


    David can''t help but say, "Ms. Lily is cold, so she epts Mr. John''s coat. There''s nothing between


    them. Don''t you see that she still keeps her distance from him?"


    Just as he finishes speaking, Lily stumbles and almost falls.


    Seeing this, John grabs her shoulder to support her and keeps his hand on it.


    David is speechless.


    Justin snorts, shing David a look, "Is there still a distance between them?"


    Louis keeps a straight face. As he walks forward, he says to David, "I''ll go first. You stay here with


    Justin and let me know if you find him."


    Justin''s face falls as he says, "Louis, are you doing this for what I''ve said?"


    "If you think so."


    "..."


    Lily gets into the car first. She doesn''t see Louis get out of the hotel and get into the ck Bentley


    behind because John is standing outside the car.


    After John gets in the car, she asks, "What happenedst night?"


    "Jonathan was shot by a bullet from outside the window in the bathroom."


    "Really?" Lily takes a deep breath, "So many politicians and celebrities were here, as well as people


    from the royal family. The hotel must be on high alertst night. Who would dare to kill Jonathan in the


    public eye?"


    "I don''t know, but he''s an excellent sniper." John says, "Victor has investigated. The sniper was on the


    high observation tower opposite the hotel. And the ground is clean."


    "It must be Coffey!" hearing this, Lily says, "He knew that something had happened to Chloe and


    wanted to avenge her."


    She grabs hold of John, asking, "Has Coffey been caught?"
