Chapter 85 Lily’s Daughter
Memphis breathing quickened, and his eyes betrayed his mounting pank
“N–No, it wasn’t me! It’s a misunderstanding!”
Tooked at him and sighed softly.
“Memphis, with your experience, you could easily find a director position elsewhere. We’ve been colleagues, and I know you’re not the mastermind behind this. Why ruin your life for the sake of others?”
Ena, standing beside me, kept signaling me to call the police, but I shook my head.
it the police got involved, uncovering the truth behind the scenes would become difficult, and it might alert those behind this.
Ineeded to extract more information first U Luca was indeed behind this, I needed concrete evidence.
Meniphis squinted and pondered for a moment, then looked at me.
“Eva, you’re Mrs. Harmon. Can you guarantee you won’t call the police?”
“Why should t
I didn’t want to give any guarantees to someone like him.
He seemed defeated, collapsing onto the floor.
“I’ll condess. It was Lily who made me do all this. She said that if I could bring you down, she would become Mrs. Harmon, and I would be the Design Director. She previously bought the design drawings and tried to use my name, but didn’t go along with it, so Tom took the blame.”

It seemed like the lead was lost, but maybe not entirely
if Leonard was the only heir to the Harmon family, who could this mopterious person be?
Emma,siting beside me, frowned. She was clearly puzzled as well
Memphis looked up at me, and his eyes were bull of desperation.
“Mrs. Harmon, considering we’re colleagues, please let me go and don’t call the police. Just consider it a small mistake and let me potreally won’t do it again!”
“One last question–why did you trust Lily so much? You must know that Leonard has many women around him. ”
There were indeed many women around Leonard. I had seen at least of them since our marriage.
This didn’t even account for the small–time celebrities and models he didn’t bring back. How could Memphis trust Lily so completely?
“I Lily from before. When she was in school she worked as an escort and hostess in a karaoke.”
“What?” Emma exclaimed in shock
Apparently, Lily had been working as a hostess even before graduating, making a lot of money. She had also worked as an escort, and Memphis was a regular customer “She gair a couple of years ago Theard she got pregnant and had a daughter, so we lost touch after that. But she has photos of us from back then. She blackmailed mel÷
The abductor’s daughter being abducted, the person being threatened–how could Lily manage to take the little girl alone? it seemed too strange
