    Chapter 40 Courtney Tries to Reach Lilian


    Courtney immediately said, "It''s not about that, brother. I''ve been trying to call Lilian, but she doesn''t


    answer. I''ve sent her messages, but she doesn''t reply. Can you call Francis and ask if something


    happened to her?"


    Hearing that it was again about Lilian, he said unkindly, "You can''t even get yourself out of trouble,


    but you want to meddle in someone else''s affair. Don''t you want toe out?"


    "I don''t care if I cane out or not. Please help me find out if Lilian is fine. She''s an idiot. Even if


    Francis bullies her, she won''t reveal a word."


    Lester was stunned. That was right. Lilian was pregnant. If Francis had done something to her and


    she took it to heart...


    "Got it. I''ll call and ask. Don''t worry. Although Francis doesn''t love Lilian, they grew up together, and


    he has some feelings for her. He won''t let her fall into trouble."


    "You must be joking! The detestable man is heartless. Can you really expect him to have any


    feelings?"


    Courtney was right. Francis was heartless. If he truly loved Julian, he would have divorced Lilian


    and married her a long time ago. He wouldn''t maintain a marital rtionship with Lilian while


    keeping ties with another woman.


    "Okay, I''ll ask," Lester interrupted her. Then he hung up the phone and called Francis.


    Francis answered his call, but Lester didn''t know how to start.


    "What''s up?"


    Lester cleared his throat and said in a stiff tone, "Courtney can''t reach Lilian. She wants to know


    how she''s doing."


    After two seconds of silence, Francis said sarcastically, "What? Are the Sachs family so interested


    in others'' affairs?"


    "Don''t talk like that, Francis. Courtney and Lilian are friends. It''s natural she worries about Lilian."


    "Is that so?" Francis smiled, but his tone turned cold, "Lester, Courtney is your sister. I don''t know


    her, but I don''t believe you don''t. You better keep your eye on her, or don''t me me for not warning


    you."


    Francis hung up after that. Lester looked at the disconnected phone and heaved a helpless sigh.


    Courtney was a little too unpredictable, not like a girl.


    In fact, she had not used to be like this, but things changed two years ago. The family arranged a


    marriage for her, and she ran away in anger.


    When she came back, she had short hair, dressed like a man, and dered that she didn''t like men.


    Once this news was spread, all those young men of the noble families in the Linnd City distanced


    themselves from her. But as her elder brother, he didn''t believe her.


    Yet, over the past two years, she had behaved more like a young man-racing cars, hanging out at


    bars, and riding motorcycles. Then he even began to change his mind.


    Francis probably didn''t believe it, either. But the recent events must have made him wary of her.


    This time, she had gotten involved in Francis and Lilian''s affair, which frightened her father, who


    was away on a business trip. Then he rushed back to the Linnd City overnight and locked her inThis content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    her room.


    Lester snapped back to reality and called Courtney.


    Courtney said, "Brother, go to her house and check on her."


    Lester was slightly taken aback. "Are you kidding?"


    "No, I''m not. I''m serious. Go take a look, please. Just take a look."


    Lester immediately refused, "No. Under what name should I go there?"


    "Lilian is pregnant. If something happens to her, can you forgive yourself?"


    "It has nothing to do with me."


    Realizing that she couldn''t persuade him, Courtney deliberately pushed open the window with great


    force. "Then I''ll jump off the third floor?"


    It was a loud noise, which Lester would definitely hear.
