Before Lily could react, someone hugged her. She looked up, only to see Duncan's annoying face.
"You're a heartless person. You didn't tell me you were in Bridgeport, and when I asked you which box you were in, you ignored my message. Lil, you've changed…" Then, Duncan slung an arm around Lily carelessly.
Seeing that, Loid looked upset. He grabbed Duncan and pushed him away intimidatingly. Loid said coldly, "Go away!"
Duncan was very angry after being pushed away by Loid. "Fuck! Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"
Loid gave him a look. He tried to kick Duncan, but Duncan dodged swiftly. Tension immediately filled the air. "You're courting death!"
Subsequently, Duncan lunged at Loid.
Seeing this, Lily frowned in exasperation.
When Daniel saw Loid and Duncan fighting, he frowned as well. "Ms. Brooks, should I stop them?"
Since he was Loid's subordinate, Daniel would help him. However, he wasn't a fool. Duncan seemed to be close friends with Lily. If Daniel helped Loid, Lily might become unhappy. It wouldn't make the situation better.
Lily looked at Loid and Duncan coldly. "Let them fight."
She understood that Loid didn't want other men to be close to her. She didn't know what Duncan was thinking either.
But since they wanted to fight, she'd let them.
"Alright." Daniel stood at one side and watched the fight with Lily.
Two minutes later, Duncan was on the losing end. Loid forced him to a corner and almost punched him.
At this moment, Duncan hurriedly dodged and said, "Stop! Loid, I'm sorry."
All the while, Lily had been staring at Duncan in silence.
Loid stopped fighting and adjusted his clothes before glancing at Duncan calmly. "When did you return?"
