"No. Stay calm." John comforts 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 blaming 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 me last night and signed it."
"Really?" Lily takes the document and glances 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.
