Upon hearing the voice, Lily paused and then opened her eyes, quickly locating the source of the sound. Her surroundings were full of chairs, with no unnecessary items. Right in front of her was a large folding screen from which the voice came.
Lily looked ahead while calmly sitting in the wheelchair. She spoke mockingly, “Aren’t you proud? You think you control everything by manipulating others and making them go in circles?”
The person sighed. “No, that’s not what I meant. I admire you, Ms. Christian.”
"Oh?" Lily raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Do you admire my talent, abilities, or my body?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end. The person seemed to contemplate something before slowly responding, "All of them."
"Well, I'm honored! So, you’ll take my body once it has recovered, right?" Lily glanced down at her body as if it no longer belonged to her but was merely an item she could trade or give away.
"Ms. Christian, I didn't want things to develop into this situation, but there's no other way. I sincerely apologize to you. If you have any wishes or needs for compensation or unfulfilled desires, I can fulfill them." The person spoke politely.
If Lily were a fool, she would think the person was kind and generous. However, she knew what they were planning to do. She sneered and said, “Is that so?”
