After chatting with each other for a while, Lily hung up the phone reluctantly with a sweet smile on her lips.
She put away her phone and was about to turn around to enter the room, but when she turned around, she was shocked by the person behind her. She took a few steps back before she could stand firm.
When she saw clearly who it was, she frowned unhappily and said in a somewhat heavy tone, "Mr. Frank, don't you know it's wrong to frighten people behind?"
Frank looked at her with a sneer, "I'm standing here aboveboard. It's you who are too focused on your little lover on the phone and don't notice my existence."
"It's my wrong, isn't it?" Lily also sneered. Her intuition told her that Frank was here for revenge, because she had accidentally told about his so-called distant cousin.
"Ha ha." Looking at Lily with a smile, Frank said sarcastically, "Don't you know where Eric is? Look at you two chatting happily. Don't you know where he is?"
"Do I have to know his whereabouts to have a good chat with him?" Lily asked with a smile.
"You..." Frank was speechless. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Lily, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent now."
"Not bad." Lily wasn't modest at all. "People are too honest and obedient. They will only be bullied to death. So, occasionally you can be sharp tongued and show your little teeth. It's good to tell others that I'm not easy to bully."
Thinking of the death of such a coward in her previous life, Lily couldn't help but want to slap him. Of course, this was not reasonable. The gap between men and women was too big, and she was not stupid enough to really slap him.
"I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. I really underestimated you." Frank sneered, "Lily, you really impress me."
"You too." Lily retorted, "In front of people, you are the eldest son of the Gu family, with infinite glory. In front of your parents, you are a good son, filial and sensible, but what about secretly?"
The more she said, the more sarcastic she looked at Frank. "Distant cousin? Well, Mr. Frank, how do you feel to be with your cousin?"
"You..." Frank laughed in anger, "I knew you told us on purpose that I was with another woman in the mall today."
"I did it on purpose." Lily admitted frankly, "But you said she was your cousin. I don't think it's a big deal to tell her. After all, she is your relative. Since she is your relative, why can't you tell her?"
"Wow." Frank shook his head repeatedly, "Lily, I didn't expect you to be so scheming to hide yourself so well. You know that she is not my cousin, but you still said it in front of my parents. Don't you want to expose me on the spot?"
"Well, Mr. Frank, I didn't say that she is not your cousin." Lily looked very calm. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure standing behind the stone pillar not far away. It was Claire.
A smile appeared on her lips, as if she didn't notice her existence. She raised her voice deliberately. "You said it yourself. I simply think it is your 'cousin'."
She stressed the two words "cousin".
"Yes, it's me. She's not my cousin." Frank gritted his teeth, "So what? They all believe me, don't they? Lily, don't think that your plan of sowing discord will succeed. They will find out your true colors one day."
Lily blinked innocently, "I always show my true face to others. Do you think I look like you? One in front and one behind?"
"You..." As soon as Frank opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lily. "Mr. Frank, as a man, if you dare to love or hate someone, if you like that woman outside but don't like Claire, just tell her not to hang on to her all the time. It's unfair to her. But if you two date at the same time, you will fall out one day."
As soon as she finished her words, she subconsciously glanced at the direction of Claire. She shook her body, probably because she was angry.
Frank's face turned red and pale. He clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to do it. After all, he was in the Qiao family, so he had to hold back his anger.
"Lily, I warn you. Don't talk nonsense in front of Claire. If she knows it, I won't be polite to you."
"Mr. Frank..." The voice was not from Lily, but from Eden. He walked out of the dark calmly, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked at Frank indifferently.
"You are the first one to threaten the Qiao family. Do you have the self-awareness as a guest?"
Lily looked at Eden in surprise. Just now, she only noticed Claire, but she didn't expect that Eden was also here.
At the sight of Eden, Frank was stunned. His anger and arrogance had already dissipated, but he felt a sense of guilt in his heart. "Eden, why are you here?"
