Bam! The cell phone is not held tight and falls heavily on the ground.
Lily stands there in a daze.
Her long-standing assumption is proved true, and she feels like she is angry but has no other choice.
At that moment, her mind goes blank, and she doesn't know what to do.
Lily's feet goes cold and she stands there in a trance for a while. Then, she takes a deep breath, suppresses the emotions in her heart, and picks up the call that has not been hung up.
She puts her phone near her ear and says in a calm voice, "I'm listening, go ahead."
Coffey says, "I asked the servants who worked in Krislier Manor. She said that Scarlett was married to Bonaire, but she was obviously unhappy. It is more like Bonaire tied her up by force."
"Later, Scarlett gave birth to a child... When she went out, the car suddenly exploded. Everyone thought she was dead, but she escaped from the fire."
Pausing for a moment, Coffey continues, "Scarlett was saved by Takuya and brought back to Japan. I found a private beauty salon in Japan with a large amount of transaction record of Takuya."
"There is a clot in her brain that oppresses her nerves. It is very likely that she has lost her memory." Hearing this, Lily has a rough idea. "Takuya changed her surname and married her."
Kanna remembers the set of jewelry her husband gives her, so when she saw the ring, she is so excited.
Coffey grunts and whispers, "She and Takuya have a daughter. Her name is... Meghan. Louis and she are half-siblings, and..."
"This is too ridiculous, too ridiculous!" Lily interrupts him and says with tears in her eyes as she slowly squats down. "Why is it like this?"
She has thought about Louis’ relationship with John, but she doesn't expect it to be like this.
Lily suddenly feels so uncomfortable that her eyes turn watery and her voice becomes hoarse. "I'm so regretful. If only I don't let you investigate this matter."
This is ridiculous!
Coffey says, "These things are hidden very well. It takes me a lot of effort to find out. All the documents are in my hands, and it will be fine if I burn it. Only you and I know about it."
"Kanna knows." Lily whispers, "She goes to the shop to look for her mother a few times. The clot in her brain must have been removed and her memories have been restored."
No wonder when Kanna gave her the talisman that day, she was so timid.
"Will she expose it?"
Lily says indifferently, "Probably not."
Kanna regains her memories. She knows that Louis is her son, but she does not dare to go to the Smith family to look for Louis. She has no choice but ask her to secretly keep an eye on him.
"Then nothing will happen." Coffey says in a deep voice. "I will burn the documents. I know you cannot take it, so I shouldn't have told you about it. I'm sorry."
Lily looks down at the tiles and says, "I asked you to investigate, and the fault would be mine. Burn the documents and nothing else will happen."
Coffey says, "Lily, knowing that can't change anything. Mr. Smith is still himself. He is related to them by blood, but he is no different from a stranger to them."
"I know. I gotta go."
Lily trembles and hangs up. Her tears are out of control and flood out. And there is soon a small pool of water on the tiles.
She feels so uncomfortable in her heart that she can't breathe anymore and she wishes she can get those things out of her mind.
The two have nothing to do with each other, how can they be brothers?
