Chapter 26 She Was the Extra One
Lilian bit her own lower lip and looked at Francis.
Francis just stared at her silently with his face darkening.
Lester also got a bit angry and chided in a low voice, "Courtney, can you stop making trouble? That's her private affair. What has it to do with you?"
Courtney refuted, "Lilian is my friend, so her affair definitely has something to do with me! I'm going to take charge of it. They have to divorce today!"
"Enough!"
"Pa!"
A crisp slap rang in the office, making the entire room completely quiet.
Judging from the visible palm print on Courtney's face, Lester used all his strength to slap.
Courtney looked at Lester incredulously. Lester's eyes were filled with anger as well as a hint of imperceptible guilt and complexity.
Lilian stared at Courtney in shock, and broke free from Courtney's hand after realizing what had happened.
Courtney didn't say anthing and just stared at Lilian's back.
Lilian walked towards the door and came to Francis. She looked up at Francis and then at Julian next to him.
Julian was holding Francis tightly, as if afraid that he might run away.
Lilian couldn't help but curl her lip and thought Julian and Francis were a perfect match and she was the extra one.
Lilian crossed over the two and walked away without looking back.
Lester then dragged Courtney away. When passing by Francis, Courtney sneered, "Francis, you'd better not regret it in the future."
It was still raining outside, drizzling like mist floating above the city.
