A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 222

“Lily!” Absalom roars angrily as he raises his hand, “What kind of attitude is that?”

Before he can slap her, his hand is suddenly grabbed by someone.

Lily never expects someone to intervene on them. When she takes a good look, she freezes when she realizes that it is Louis.

“President Smith.”

Louis mumbles a response while asking her, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Even if you didn’t make an appearance, he won’t be able to land a slap on my face.” Lily replies as she stares coldly at Absalom. “Absalom, if you have that much time to pester me, I would advise you to spend some money to look for a suitable candidate before your son’s condition worsens. You could probably get what you want if you do that.”

Absalom replies angrily, “I admit that I am in the wrong in the first place. I shouldn’t have abandoned you guys, but in the end he is still your younger brother. Blood is always thicker than water!”

“My only younger brother is Coffey.” Lily rebukes with indifference, “Besides, my mother was divorced since a little more than twenty years ago. We have no relationship whatsoever, mind you. If you are so great you can try suing me to the court.”

“You, you…”

This witty yet cold-hearted daughter of his has succeeded in causing his anger to flare up with a hideous expression on his face. He feels like he is going to have a heart attack soon as he is speechless for a while.

“The security guards in this area is not doing a good job at all since they just simply let anybody in. I am going to lodge a complaint tomorrow.” Lily says sarcastically before turning around to leave the scene.

Louis tightens his grip on Absalom’s wrist, and he warns in a low voice, “Never come here again.”

Absalom is being pressured by someone his junior, and his face is writhing with pain as the pain in his wrist intensifies. He doesn’t have any choice but to nod before Louis lets go of his hand. Then, he leads Rich into the apartment.

Lily is waiting for the elevator.

After a moment, Louis follows her into the elevator. A German shepherd is being led by him.

“Is this puppy only a month old?” Lily curls the corner of her lips as she discovers that the German shepherd is somehow afraid of Louis, judging from the way it is keeping some distance from him. “Nowadays, who would walk a puppy like that?”

Louis answers, “It is too weak, I’m just bringing it out to train.”

“…”

The German shepherd is barking while wagging its tail. It is also rubbing itself against Lily. Although it is quite dark in colour, Lily still thinks it is quite cute, so she can’t help caressing it in her embrace.

“You smell so good! Did you just have a bath?” Lily coos while rubbing it and planting a kiss on its head without any reserve, “You are so cute!”

Rich is cute?

Louis is doubtful of her perspective on such things.

When he sees Rich rubbing itself against Lily’s breast, he suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. With a pinch of his fingers, he picks the puppy off Lily’s arms and puts it down on the floor coldly.

In order to prevent Lily from carrying and hugging Rich again, Louis tries to change the topic, “Is that your dad?”

Lily mumbles a response as she begins to explain, “He’s a selfish and arrogant bastard. He abandoned us a long time ago because he couldn’t get himself to love us. After he remarried, his son was contracted with leukemia not long after, and my bone marrow matches his son’s. He proceeded to come look for me and pestered me for a few months in order to get me to donate my bone marrow. He’s even harassing me in my apartment now.”

Louis’ eyes are shrouded in darkness.

He can see that Absalom is full of hostility and bad-tempered. If he’s desperate, it is highly possible that he would do something terrifying.

“I will inform the security to tighten their inspection for non-residents coming in and out of your apartment.” Louis promises her, “Remember to prepare some self-defensive tools in your bag.”

“I know that.” Lily nods in response to his worries.

“Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

“What about that?”

Louis shoots her a sideway glance as he replies noncommittally, “I have seen the morning news. It seems that you have met Daniel’s mother, and she has given you a present.”

“That is no present, the whole fiasco was disastrous!” Lily recalls the events this morning as she somehow feels a throbbing pain in her wrist, “His mother is too scheming. She even planned for the reporters to wait outside.”

Louis asked, “Why did you want to see Daniel a while ago?”
