Chapter 402: Does Last Night Matter?
"No. Stay calm." Johnforts her, "I also figure that it''s your younger brother. And I told Victor to look
for him. I won''t let anything happen to him."
"Tell me if you find him," Lily says. Then, she starts ming herself, "It''s my fault. I''m useless. I couldn''t
protect Chloe."
She can''t stand it if Coffey hates her for what happened to Chloe. She feels so guilty that she hasn''t
contacted him for such a long time.
Looking at her sad face, John remembers the call with Victor. If he had told Victor to stop Jonathan''s
people from stalking Chloe, nothing would have happened to Chole.
''It is my selfishness that leads to today''s situation.''
John tries to suppress his guilt and whispers, "I will definitely tell you if I find him. You should try to rest
assured for the sake of the babies."
"Right, I can''t be too emotional. It''s not good for the babies." Lily tries her best to calm down, "Then
how is Jonathan?"
"The bullet was poisoned." John says with a hint of satisfaction, "His right arm was cut off in the
hospital."
Lily sneers, "Then he only has his left arm. I''ll see how he eats with his left hand when he loses it, too!"
"Speaking of which, I remember about Macit." John takes out a document and gives it to her, "He came
to mest night and signed it."
"Really?" Lily takes the document and nces it over, "I''ve been worried about it since this morning. I''m
afraid that you can''t get the right of inheritance. Don''t you care why he''s willing to sign it?"
Lily notices Justin''s signature below. It seems to be a little different from the signature that she asks
someone to imitate.
When she thinks of that man, she understands everything.
He''s powerful, and he''s the only person who''d help her secretly.
He''s so affectionate, which brings tears to Lily''s eyes.
Rubbing her eyes, she manages to smile, "You will pass the test since you''ve got enough signatures!"
"Yes." Seeing her bright smile, John feels a little sad.
He has a newspaper in his hand, which was given by Victor not long ago.
John hesitates before he hands it to Lily and says, "You should see this."
"What is it?" As Lily unfolds the newspaper, she asks, "Is it about Jonathan being shot...?"
Staring at the newspaper, she purses her lips tight.
John leans over and points at the intimate couple in the newspaper, "This woman is called Sofia Jones,
general manager of the R department at the Smith Group."
"Hasn''t R Department been disbanded?" She doesn''t realize how tight she''s holding the newspaper,
and her hands are trembling.
Lily continues, "Little Fairy told me that after I broke up with Louis, he ordered that R Department be
disbanded and the staff be transferred to other departments."
"Perhaps Louis thinks that this woman is excellent enough to take the responsibility." As John speaks,
he watches her face, "It was said that after Sofia became a member of the Smith Group, Louis took
good care of her."
"He brings her with him whenever he''s on business and allows her to deal with several important
partners on her own. Besides, Louis is the only person that''s powerful than her in the Smith Group. If
she''s just her subordinate, it''s fine. However, when Louis is with Sofia, he doesn''t care if they will be
photographed."
After a pause, he continues, "You were Louis’ girlfriend, and you knew that he didn''t like to be in the
limelight. He even hid you from the media, didn''t he? When he brings Sofia out, though, he doesn''t stop
the media from taking pictures."
Lily seems to ignore him and fixates the newspaper with her eyes.
''Does he have a new girlfriend?''
''If he doesn''t love me, why would hee all the way here to help me? Doesst night matter?''
''Does he think that he can sleep with me and send me away with a little money?''
Somehow, Lily feels anxious. Seeing the man and woman in the newspaper, she can''t help but wonder
if the woman would move to live with Louis.
Probably because she doesn''t have breakfast and the car is poorly ventted, a wave of nausea
sweeps over her.
She covers her mouth.
"What''s wrong? Are you throwing up again?" Seeing her like this, John brings over a wastebasket.
Holding the basket, Lily vomits up nothing but water.
A sour smell spreads in the car, but John doesn''t mind. He doesn''t want Lily to feel cold, so he only
lowers the window a little. Then, he opens a bottle of water and hands it to her.
"Thank you." Lily drinks some water and feels much better.
She also smells the smell, so she looks embarrassed, "Why don''t you open all the windows?"
"It''s a little cold outside. You could catch a chill since you are wearing so little." John hands over two

tissues and says, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes."
John nces at her and says in a gentle voice, "I saw Louis at the partyst night. Did he contact
you?"
"No." thinking about the cash left by the man in the morning and what she saw in the newspaper, Lily
feels upset. She doesn''t want to recall him.
John knows that she''s lying, and he just moves towards her and says, "Lily, you saw the news. You
have broken up. It''s obvious that he doesn''t love you anymore."
"He may be a sessful businessman, but he won''t be a good father. If he wants, any woman,
including Sofia, can bear a child of his. He won''t treat his children well."
" ... I didn''t tell him about the babies." Lily lowers her head.
She wanted to tell Louisst night, but she was too tired to ask or say anything.
She thought that the man taught her with patience out of love and that she was unique to him.
However, it turns out that it''s her wishful thinking.
He has produced a Lily, and he can also produce another woman.
Lily feels so painful that she wants to ask him who the woman in the newspaper is right now.
However, they have parted ways. She has no right to do it.
"Don''t cry." John wipes away her tears with his thumb. It is painful for him to watch the girl whom he
loves the most crying. And he also feels angry that she always puts that man first in her heart.
"Lily, I hope you will forget about him and love yourself more. You can always count on me. And I will
give you everything that I have."
If he hadn''t taken the wrong step, Lily would have been his. There would be no Jason or Louis.
"It''s not about him. I just can''t help but shed tears." Lily still refuses to admit that she cries because of
Louis, and her voice is hoarse, "It''s easy to feel sad after I get pregnant."
Then, she looks out of the window, trying to change the subject, "How soon will we get to the manor?
I''m a little hungry. It doesn''t seem to be the way back to the manor?"
"You haven''t taken any exam for almost four months. Don''t you want to know if your babies are
healthy?" John looks at her with a helpless face, "Jonathan is in the hospital. His people are too
worried about him to deal with us. We can go to the private hospital where Victor''s brother-inw is
working."
