In Lily's eyes, there was only Jenny now. She was the one who had crossed her.
Just as Lily thought she was about to slap Jenny, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was Hayden.
He raised his arm and blocked her hand, stopping her slap in its tracks.
Lily felt like her hand had hit a rock. It was that hard. The sound was sharp and clear.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and then pain shot through her hand, making it twitch.
She had hit Hayden's arm.
"You..."
Lily's eyes filled with tears, her anger rising as she glared at Hayden.
She felt wronged, like she was being bullied, consumed by rage.
"First off, she didn't say anything wrong. Those were your words. Second, she's my sister. If you dare lay a hand on her, I'll make you regret it. This is your warning. If you touch her again, I won't be blocking you. I'll be hitting you."
Hayden's gaze was icy, his face dark as he stared down Lily. It was clear that he wasn't joking.
At that moment, Lily was completely stunned. She stood there, dumbfounded, still seething with anger but unsure of what to say.
She was just a woman. There was no way she could take on Hayden.
Where was Morgan right now?
"Morgan, why haven't you come back yet?" Lily thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Morgan had dragged Logan outside the medieval town.
He was acting suspiciously, looking around to make sure no one was watching.
He found a quiet spot and whispered, "Hurry up! Take the money, and leave the city. Come back in a year or two."
Then, he pulled out a bank card, his eyes cold as he stared at Logan.
