Chapter 633
“Something happened within the Lodge family. Do you know about it?” Arianna asked.
“You mean that the old man from the Lodge family is dead?” Nathaniel calmly replied as he started to clean up his bottles while studying them closely.
“Of course, that’s not all. Have you heard of Henry Lodge?” Arianna sat on Nathaniel’s chair and looked at him. “Since you’re Lily’s ex–boyfriend, you must know a thing or two about the Lodge family, right?”
Nathaniel sneered mockingly as the fingers that were fiddling with the incense stopped. Moments later, he continued, acting as if nothing had happened, “If it weren’t for Mother telling me about it, I wouldn’t have known she was from the Lodge family. So, how much do you think I know?”
“Huh?” His answer surprised Arianna. “Wow, you were quite a horrible boyfriend then.”
“That’s all in the past now!” His downcast eyes showed no emotions. “Why are you here, Ari? I’m sure it’s not just to lecture me.
Arianna drawled while playing with a pen on Nathaniel’s office table, “Since you don’t know the Lodge family…”
“Did I say I’m not familiar with them?!” Nathaniel snapped.
“Didn’t you…” Arianna was shocked. Just a while ago, he said he did not even know Lily was from the Lodge family, so how much could he possibly know about the family?
“Just because I didn’t know much about them last time doesn’t mean I’m still clueless. Also, it shouldn’t mean I’ll continue being ignorant.” Nathaniel stopped studying his incense bottle. and stared at his sister.
Then he smiled coyly and continued, “Henry Lodge is that old man’s youngest son, but he’s not much older than either Lily or Justin. He should’ve been the one to inherit the family head position, but he left the family years ago, and no one had heard of his whereabouts since. The Lodge family never tried searching for him, so it was as if they’d forgotten that he existed.”
His information was accurate, so Arianna nodded and commented, “That’s right, no one had expected him to return to the family at a time like this. Besides, his timing was impeccable. Who knew something this huge had happened within the Lodge family?”
