But she went on to discover the truth that their marriage had, from the beginning, been nothing but a conspiracy. The fatal confrontation with her husband sent Lily tumbling down the stairs. She gradually lost her consciousness as she lay in the pool of her blood. As death slowly took her, Lily's final moments were filled with resentment and anger towards all those who had failed her. As destiny would have it, she was reborn and was now back to the time when she was in junior high. It was the place where her nightmares had begun in her previous life, but this time, she was going to turn the tables. She planned to take back all that they owed her, bit by bit. She would have her sweet revenge.

Chapter 1 Death In Heart

"I'm pregnant!" While holding the pregnancy test result, Lily Qiao returned home with joy. She wanted to share the good news with her husband as soon as possible.

They had been married for five years already. The Gu family were looking forward to cementing their love with a baby now.

Lily Qiao had tried every means possible to conceive, but she had failed up till now.

Her husband, Frank Gu, was supportive of their attempts, and he didn't say anything, but her mother-in-law's attitude was steadily worsening. At first, she hadn't openly criticized Lily Qiao, but over time this had changed into real insults.

"Marrying a sow would have been better than marrying you. At least a sow is able to have babies.

If you are unqualified, there are tons of women who could have done this job better than you. Don't you know how many women out there want to have a baby with Frank? Don't occupy this position and do nothing!"

Lily Qiao could not stomach her mother-in-law's harsh words any longer. But for the sake of the family's harmony, she had struggled to endure it.

Finally, she could now satisfy the demands of her family.

As she strode down the passageway to the bedroom, Lily Qiao suddenly heard strange sounds, which were easily associated with passionate lovemaking.

Lily Qiao wondered who was having sex at this time of day. The voices came from her and Frank's room. Did it mean...

She quickly walked the last few steps and opened the door.

How could her beloved husband and sister be so obscenely tangled up with each other on their bed?!

Witnessing this scene of reckless abandon, Lily Qiao felt unsteady and struggled to remain standing. She was so shocked that she could hardly believe her eyes. But this was really happening!

"Frank Gu! Claire Qiao!" Lily Qiao shouted angrily, her voice driven hoarse with pain.

They froze mid-act on the bed. Claire Qiao, wearing a seductive smile, glanced at Lily Qiao. She didn't feel guilt or show any signs of remorse; she was even flaunting it!

"Lily, didn't you go to the hospital? Why have you returned so soon?" Frank picked up a bath towel and wrapped it around his naked body. He didn't feel any shame at being caught cheating on his wife. Instead, he felt impatient with her interruption.

"If I didn't return so soon, how could I see what you have done? Frank Gu, is this how you remain faithful to our marriage? You said you loved me. Is this how you show your love?" Lily stepped forward angrily and glared at him.

"Ha-ha! Love you? Apart from our company's stock you own, what do you have that could make Frank fall in love with you? Why would he stay married to you? I tell you, Frank loves me." Claire giggled, "Today, I waited until you finally signed the equity transfer agreement. Once that is resolved, I'll give you a divorce agreement, my dear sister."

"No way!" Lily couldn't believe what Claire said at all.

"Stop it, Claire." Frank could not bear to see Lily's pale and drawn face. "Let's get a divorce, Lily. I'll give you a sum of money afterward. I won't leave you destitute for the rest of your life."

Looking at their disgusting faces and hearing what they had said, Lily was so shocked that she almost fainted. She grabbed Frank's arm and shouted, "You are a liar! You are a liar! You are all liars! Frank, I'm pregnant. Is it true that five-years' relationship with me is not as good as that of a mistress, and that my child is not as good as a mistress?"

"How could that be possible? I gave it every day..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Claire's shocked voice.

"Lily, are you kidding me? Every time you had sex, Frank gave you a contraceptive. But now, you say you are pregnant? Who can believe that?"

"What?" Lily's brain was stunned.

Claire looked at her in a condescending manner and said contemptuously, "I don't know whose bastard you're carrying, and I can't believe you'd dare to say that the baby is Frank's. Look at your crumpled face, which man could fall in love with you? Oh, by the way..."

She pretended to be surprised as she continued, "I almost forgot to tell you that I'm pregnant too. I'm already four months along. Lily, you are nothing more than a mistress. Now get out of here. Don't always try to occupy Frank."

With these words, Claire snuggled up to his bare chest and said in a spoiled tone, "Frank, my belly is starting to look a little bit swollen. We have to hurry up with planning the wedding or my stomach will get too big to fit into a wedding dress."

Looking at the cuddling couple before her, Lily just felt a tragic sense of irony. She was just a mistress?! It was so ridiculous! The mistress had accused her, a married woman, for interrupting their love!

Now she realized how silly she had been when she had insisted on choosing this man in front of her. It turned out that everything was a fraud.

"One more thing, my dear sister, let me tell you. It was us who orchestrated the accident with our father." Claire continued complacently, "Otherwise, how can you give up your shares without featuring in this scene? So you don't have to be so angry. Even our father is on my side. It's time for you to take a long and hard look in the mirror!"

This was insane! Lily then smiled instead of being angry. What did this mean? She had been at the mercy of their schemes all her life, and everyone she treasured had been dragged into it!

Father, husband, sister... But she had still struggled on, thinking that she would live a happy life as long as she could conceive a child, and that everything would then be better.

Lily raised her hand and was about to slap Frank's face. But before she could hit him, Claire grabbed her wrist, and she slapped Lily savagely. "Bitch, you are just like your weak and incompetent mother. You also deserve to be killed!"

Hearing this, Lily grew even angrier. It turned out that her mother's death had also been planned! Overwhelmed by rage, regret, and resentment, she wrestled with Claire.

She was thinner than Claire and lacked the same power as her. So being unable to beat up Claire, she was knocked to the floor by her.

Claire decided there and then, and she kicked Lily with all her strength, concentrating on her waist and abdomen.

Lily huddled up in pain and hunched over, trying to shield her stomach with her hands. Her mother had died early, and recently even her grandfather, who had loved her most, had passed away. This meant that her only living relative in this world was her unborn baby.

So she had to protect her baby!

"All right, Claire." Frank restrained Claire's arm and looked down at Lily, who was lying in a crumpled heap. "Lily, you should go now. The divorce agreement will be sent to you by my lawyer, and as for the baby in your belly... Do as you like with it!"

Lily smiled sadly, and her eyes were filled with resentment. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Lily struggled to get up from the ground. Although she walked somewhat unsteadily, she still tried to balance her body and resolutely left the room.

Seeing that Lily was about to reach the stairway, a vicious light flashed in Claire's eyes. She hurried up behind Lily and suddenly pushed her.

Lily was about to walk down the stairs when she found that she had lost her footing. However, she was quick enough and grasped the hand that Claire used to push her.

"Ah!" Claire screamed. She quickly grabbed the stair railing with the other hand to stop herself from falling after Lily.

"Let me go! Let me go!" she screamed and tried to shake off Lily's hand.

Lily, galvanized by desperation, firmly clutched her hand with all of her might. Because her whole body was now dangling forward, Lily was unable to find firm footing. Resolutely, she clutched at Claire's hand with one hand and the railing with the other.

"Frank, help me! Frank!" Claire screamed, fearing that she would tumble after Lily and lose her baby.

Frank ran out of the room, grabbed Claire, and savagely kicked Lily. "You evil woman, how dare you want to drag Claire down the stairs!"

Without thinking, Frank kicked Lily's chest, causing her to tumble down the stairs.

Lying at the foot of the stairs, Lily was drowning in a wave of pain. The pain in her chest and in her abdomen was excruciating.

There was warm liquid running out between her legs. Lily reached out her hand subconsciously and tried to hold it in. She screamed in panic, "Baby! My baby! My baby!"

The baby she was trying to save was slowly flowing from her body.

"No, no!" Lily screamed in an agony, sounding weak. There was also a wound on the back of her head that was bleeding.

"Baby, baby..." Her voice faded, becoming weaker and weaker.

Before she lost consciousness, her eyes fixed on the man and woman towering above her on the stairs.

Frank frowned and descended the stairs like a lord. His heart tightened at the sight of Lily's staring eyes. He put his hand under her nose. Startled, he looked up at Claire and replied, "Dead."

Just then, Frank's mother came home. She was shocked by the scene. "What happened?"

"She fell down and died!" Claire pointed her finger at Lily. She was, of course, lying.

"Fell to death? How unfortunate she is! It is, however, great that she's died. How could she stop others form being Frank's wife? Frank is more than thirty years old, but he still hasn't sired a child with the barren bitch. If she died now, Frank wouldn't have to divorce her..." Jade Zhang bombarded Lily with mean-spirited remarks.

However, Lily could not hear these words any more, and she no longer had to endure such humiliation!

Chapter 2 Come Back And Fight Back

"My baby, my baby! No, no, no!" With a scream, Lily suddenly sat bolt upright on the bed.

She opened her eyes and gasped for breath. When she gradually became alert, she found that she was not in a hospital but in a familiar room.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door, mixed with the sharp screech of a car's tires, and a woman's crying.

Lily quickly scrambled out of bed and ran to the window, where she saw a woman was being dragged in the direction of the car by two burly thugs.

Unexpectedly, a very familiar scene replayed in her mind, and without thinking, Lily ran barefoot toward the direction of the stairs.

Lily couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality. She ran down the stairs, taking them two at a time. There was only one thought on her mind, which was to keep her mother with her!

As she ran too fast, she slipped down the last two steps and knelt down. Luckily, she grabbed the guardrail with her hand and managed to stop herself from falling.

Severe pain spread all over her body in an instant, and Lily realized that this was not a dream at all, but a reality.

This was a memory from her early childhood, the year she was in grade 3 of junior high school. The scene she had just witnessed was when her mother was forcibly removed from the Qiao family.

Without even minding the pain in her knees, she got up and rushed out. When she reached there, her mother had already been forced into the car, and the thugs were about to slam the door shut.

"Mom! Mom..." Lily shouted while running, "Let Mom go! Let my Mom go!"

However, those men didn't pay her any heed. When she approached the car, the door was suddenly closed, and the car flew like an arrow from a bow.

The car rushed forward with a crazy curve, and Lily was knocked to the ground. Looking at the direction in which the car disappeared, Lily shouted, "Stop! Stop! Mom! Mom..."

Her past life was cruel and so was this life. She could only watch her mother being taken away. No, this was not something that she wanted to live through again!

"Oh, my! Lily, why are you lying on the ground? It's so dirty. Stand up quickly!" Hearing a familiar voice, Lily was lifted from the ground.

After being set on her feet, Lily frowned slightly when she turned and saw who the woman was. It was Lucia Zhao, a woman that she would never forget for the rest of her life.

"Are you all right? Did you get hurt? Come on, wipe your tears now." Lucia Zhao wiped the tears from Lily's face and said, "From today on, I will be your mother. I will treat you as if you were my own daughter, and our family will love each other in the future."

Lily tilted her head slightly back to avoid Lucia Zhao's touch. She clearly remembered how this woman had treated her "as if she were her own"!

"Yes, sister." At that moment, Claire, who was standing behind Lucia Zhao, stepped forward and affectionately held Lily's hand as she said, "From now on, Mom will treat you as her own daughter, and I will also treat you like my own sister. In addition, our brother will also treat you as his own sister, right?"

When she spoke the last sentence, Claire looked over at Eden Qiao, who was standing not far away, looking disinterested. Claire raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to answer.

Lily followed the direction of her gaze to where Claire was looking. She also held some resentment against Eden Qiao, not because he was a bad person, but because he was the most important person that made Lucia Zhao become the hostess of the Qiao Family, and he was also the reason that her mother had been driven out of the Qiao Family!

Eden's face was devoid of expression. He regarded them indifferently. Finally, when his eyes met Lily's, he nodded.

Seeing his reaction, Claire looked at him reproachfully and turned to Lily as she said with a smile, "My brother is just like this. He doesn't show much enthusiasm to others. You will get used to it."

"Okay," Lily said in a low voice. She lowered her head with a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, but her voice sounded very grateful. "Thank you for not disliking me. And thank you for treating me as your family."

"What are you talking about? We are family." Lucia gave her a reproachful look, but her words seemed to be full of tenderness.

"Mom is right," Claire smiled. "By the way, have you ever eaten at the Westin Hotel? It's good. We'll take you there for a meal next time. Don't you have Dior's clothes? Next time I'll buy an outfit for you, and a LV bag, and Pomellato jewelry. I will give it to you if you like..."

While Claire's mouth spilled forth the names of luxury brands, Lily sneered. She had already known the "flattery" schemes of this mother and daughter in her previous life.

After a while, Claire finally changed the topic. "Lily, could you do me a favor? Please help me to decorate my new room."

Without waiting for Lily's reply, Claire dragged her away.

As soon as they entered the room, Claire loosened Lily's hand, opened the wardrobe, and said, "Lily, these are all from Dior's clothing line. It's my favorite brand, but I don't think it looks good just hanging like this. Do you have any better suggestions?"

Lily thought of a reply, while a bit of sarcasm played in her eyes. Lily knew this ploy very well. Claire was not really interested in her opinions, and she just wanted to show off!

So she just smiled and shook her head. "I think it looks good."

"What about all my jewelry?" Claire opened her jewelry box and asked for Lily's advice, "Do you think the matching earrings should be placed together with the necklaces or should I split all the earrings and the necklaces?"

"Just arrange them according to your own preferences." Lily still remained indifferent.

Seeing this, Claire felt a little unhappy. She had said so much, but Lily did not appear impressed at all.

Unwilling to give up, she picked up a bottle of perfume from the dresser and said, "This perfume is from Chanel. Dad gave it to me. You have been Dad's daughter for more than a decade, and now, it's my turn to be the daughter. The status of being the Qiao family's daughter is really high class."

Claire finally spoke the truth that was beating in her little heart. Lily sneered and said, "Yes, I was the daughter for more than ten years, and I'm still the real daughter of the Qiao family. What about you? You are only a nominal daughter of my father, but who knows, you might not be his daughter at all."

"You!" Claire glared at Lily and shouted, "Who are you to say I'm not father's daughter? I am Dad's biological daughter!"

"Really? But who can prove it?" Lily raised her eyebrows as she asked.

"Lily Qiao, don't go too far! I've told you that I'm Dad's daughter, so I am father's daughter!"

"Even if you are Dad's daughter, so what? You will not be the lady of the Qiao family in the end."

"You..." Claire was so angry that she hurled the perfume bottle straight at Lily.

Lily had anticipated that Claire would do something like this, so she quickly side-stepped, avoiding the attack. The glass bottle shattered on the ground. At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and Dillon Qiao's voice asked, "What is going on here?"

Hearing her father, Lily's eyes sparkled. She lowered herself to the ground and looked up at Claire, seemingly wronged. "Claire, I was kind enough to help you decorate the room. Why did you throw the perfume bottle at me? If I did something wrong, you could have just told me."

When Dillon Qiao entered the room, this was what he saw. He looked at Lily and then at Claire. "What the hell is going on here?"

"No, I didn't do it. She just sat on the ground by herself," Claire explained fearfully.

"Claire, how can you lie?" Lily's eyes turned red as she enlisted the aid of her tears. She covered her injured knees with her hands and turned to her father. "Dad, it hurts..."

Hearing this, Claire reacted immediately. She folded her arms and looked at Dillon Qiao, utterly aggrieved. "It was she who started the fight. If she hadn't hurt me, I wouldn't have thrown the perfume bottle at her."

"Let me see," said Dillon Qiao with concern.

"Dad, look!" Claire lifted her hand, revealing a wound, and she smiled smugly at Lily when Dillon Qiao wasn't looking.

Lily said indifferently, "Claire, you have a strange physique. The wound you just suffered seems to have made a scar already."

Claire's face turned pale. When she was about to refute the accusation, she heard a rebuke from Dillon, much to her unhappiness. "Claire, you are so thoughtless."

After starring at her, Dillon turned around and helped Lily up. When he saw her scuffed and bleeding knees, he felt a touch of guilt. He could not help but scold Claire, "You should admit your faults and not try to frame others. Lily is your sister. How can you do this to her?"

"Dad..." Claire looked at him, feeling wronged, but she could not say anything.

"Claire didn't mean to do it. It's no big deal. My knees were only scratched. Don't blame her, Dad." Lily tried to persuade him. She pulled her hand out of her father's and said, "Dad, I'll go back to my room and have my wound treated."

Looking at Lily limping out of the room, Dillon felt guilty, and he couldn't help but stare back at Claire.

Back at her room, Lily took out the medicine chest and swiftly treated her scrapes. The scene of her mother's eviction was still fresh in her mind.

'Gosh!'

Lily screamed in her heart. After her mother had been kicked out of the Qiao family in her previous life, she had been informed of her death that night. The hospital had said that she had suffered a myocardial infarction that had been caused by excessive stress. This would be listed as the cause of death.

Thinking of this, Lily immediately got up and went downstairs. As soon as she reached the stairway, she heard Lucia's voice drifting up from below. "I'm going out to relax. Don't wait for me to come back for dinner."

Relaxing?

Why did she need to relax at this time? Thinking of the time when her mother would die, Lily immediately understood what Lucia was going to do.

Lily went into a state of panic, and she concluded that she must stop Lucia, or else, all her efforts would be in vain!

'Oh, yes!' Lily's eyes brightened as an idea formed in her mind.

Chapter 3 A Strategy To Save Mother

Hurrying to the back garden, Lily quickly collected the pollen of two flowers and dashed back to the bedroom. Time was running out, and she had to stop Lucia before she left.

Recalling from the past life, Lily remembered that Claire had an allergic constitution, especially to pollen. At the last minute, Lily had thought of this.

After taking a bottle of perfume from her bedroom, Lily deliberately wiped the pollen on it. Then, she went to Claire's room.

The door was open. Lily walked straight in and said, "Claire, shall we make up?"

Claire had been unhappy because of what happened earlier, and she didn't look any better when Lily entered.

"Are you still mad at me?" Lily walked to Claire with a smile on her face. Then she took Claire's hand and tucked the perfume into her hands like a peace offering. "This perfume is my gift to you. Though it can't compare with the one you gave to me, it's my gift to you. Please forgive me, okay?"

After all, Claire was a child. It was still easy for her to get angry and equally easy to cheer up. Besides, Claire's heart hadn't wanted to quarrel with Lily when she initially entered the Qiao family. Therefore, she also smiled. "All right, Lily. Let's make up."

"Great!" Lily nodded with a smile and returned to her room, allegedly to rest because of her knees injury.

However, as soon as Lily left, the smile on Claire's face immediately crumpled with contempt. She glanced at the perfume bottle in her hand, opened the window, and threw it out in disgust.

Lily didn't return to her room. She went to the window instead and watched over the situation in the front yard, while also paying attention to the movement in Claire's room.

Time passed. Lucia was about to get into the car, but Claire still had not reacted.

Just as Lily felt her anxiety reach its zenith, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the second floor. Then she saw a servant running to Lucia, gasping for breath and saying, "Oh, my God. Mrs. Lucia, I don't know what's wrong! Miss Claire's whole face is swollen, and her arms are red and swollen."

Witnessing this scene, Lily smiled with satisfaction and turned back to her room.

"What?" Lucia had just gotten into the car, but she immediately climbed out when she heard the servant's words. She turned and rushed to Claire's room.

She made a phone call as she walked. "I have something to deal with. You can go ahead and do as planned."

Knowing that Lucia had been successfully stopped, Lily took her bag and immediately went downstairs. When she arrived at the first floor, she met Eden, who was going upstairs to see Claire.

"Are you going out?" Eden looked at Lily coldly with a slight frown on his austere features.

"Well, Becky just called me. I have to go out for a while." Lily blurted out the name, Becky, which she would never forget in her life.

'Why is she going out at this moment?' he thought. Eden looked at her suspiciously, but didn't ask more, instead continuing upstairs.

Watching him vanish up the stairs, Lily did not stop and ran to the backyard of the Qiao family home.

The backyard was a special place where the servants of the Qiao family lived. Lily walked to the front of a door that she remembered so well. When she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, a slightly surprised voice sounded beside her. "Miss Lily?"

"Uncle Colin." Lily turned around and saw Colin Li. In excitement she grabbed his hand, looked around, and deliberately lowered her voice. "There is something you need to help me with, and you must not refuse."

Seeing her sage expression, Colin Li knew that whatever it was, it was serious. He pledged, "Miss Lily, tell me. No matter what happens, I will do everything I can to support you!"

Lily put the address into Colin Li's hand and whispered, "Uncle Colin, I want you to go somewhere with me."

"Okay," Colin Li agreed without hesitation. He didn't ask for the details, for he knew that as long as Miss Lily asked it, he would not refuse.

Lily didn't even consider that he could reject her. He had been her mother's driver when he was with the An family. He had followed her mother to the Qiao family after she had married Lily's father.

However, when he arrived at the Qiao family, he was treated like a common servant, but he still didn't leave. He was as faithful and loyal as a favored hound.

After arriving at their destination, Lily asked Colin Li to park his car out of sight, and then took him to her mother's house.

As soon as the door opened, Lily walked into the room. When she saw her mother, her eyes immediately turned red. Refraining from jumping into her arms, Lily held her hand and led her out. "Mom, we have to leave here as soon as possible."

"Lily, where are we going?" Tina An was not in good shape, and her face was extremely gaunt, which might have been due to the stress of her expulsion from the Qiao family.

"Let's get out of here first." Looking around the messy room, Lily picked up the key on the coffee table and pulled Tina An away.

Assessing the situation, Colin Li hurried to keep up with them.

It was not until they safely got into the car that Lily heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, she had left with Tina An in such a hurry because she was worried that Lucia might not be delayed a long time due to Claire's allergic reaction to the pollen. Lily feared Lucia's imminent arrival.

"Lily, are you going to take Mom to the Qiao family's house?" asked Tina worriedly.

"No, I'm not." Lily shook her head and gazed at her lovingly. She held Tina's hands tightly, and there were all sorts of feelings storming in her heart. Even though she had a lot to say, now was not a good time to talk.

"Miss Lily, where are we going now?" Colin asked from the driver's seat.

Hearing that, Lily looked at Colin and said, "Uncle Colin, you need to take my mother away for now and find a safe place to live. Remember, don't let anyone else know where she is!"

"I understand!" Colin nodded his head solemnly and asked, "What about you? Why don't you come with us?"

Lily shook her head. "You go ahead. I have something else to do first."

"Lily, you..." Tina was flustered. When she was about to say something more, Lily interrupted her, "Mom, listen to me. Go with Uncle Colin now."

Having spoken, she released Tina's hand, opened the door, and got out of the car. She urged Colin to drive away as she waved her hands.

It was not until the car had disappeared from sight that she turned her eyes away and began to walk in another direction.

Lily remembered from her other life that there was a black market nearby, which sold all kinds of controlled and banned items.

Lily quickly went to the illicit market and when she returned to the house, she was dragging her purchases with her.

She looked around the room and saw that it was quite dirty and messy. Then she turned around and walked through to the bedroom. She remembered that when her mother had been kicked out of the Qiao family, her father had given her some cash.

As she expected, she found a wad of cash on the bedside table. She took the money and returned to the living room. Putting the cash together with the things she had bought from the black market, Lily left the room immediately.

However, she did not go far; instead, she hid nearby. Along the way, she called the police and waited for Lucia to come over.

Following the address provided by Lucia, Wade Zhao arrived with two bodyguards. The house's front door was opened on a crack, and it seemed that it was not fully closed. He pushed the door open and walked in without thinking.

"Tina, come out!" Wade Zhao entered the room and shouted, while the other two began to search every room in the small house.

"Sir, no one is in the bedroom," one of them said after searching the bedroom. Then he glanced at the kitchen and bathroom before adding, "There's nobody here."

"Tina..." While Wade Zhao shouted angrily, he was interrupted by the ecstatic call of someone else. "Sir, look at all this money!"

Wade Zhao smiled happily as soon as he saw the money. "I haven't found her yet, but it's more efficient to find money."

The other man was also attracted. "How much do we have?"

The three started to count the money, completely forgetting what they came here for.

However, while they were still counting happily, a group of policemen rushed in. "Don't move! Raise your hands!"

The policemen quickly surrounded them. The three were stunned, and while their faces had previously held delight, they now featured panic.

"Sir, I, we..."

"Shut up!" Wade Zhao was still stammering something when a police officer shouted at him harshly.

At that moment, a policeman said seriously, "Sir, we found a box of controlled substances and nearly 100, 000 in cash."

The ranking policeman, glanced around the room with his sharp black eyes and stared at the pile of money and controlled goods. He ordered, "Two of you stay here and check everything out carefully. Take away this lot!"

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing the group of thugs being escorted away in hand-cuffs, Lily left her hiding place with a sneer.

On the way home, Lily went to the YS Pharmacy. She remembered that they bought medicine for Claire here when she had an allergic reaction.

It was late at night, but the house was brightly lit. Almost everyone was waiting there, sitting around nervously.

Claire's face was swollen, and her hands were red and bloated. Although she had been treated with medicine, it didn't seem to have worked.

Lily obviously noticed the unhappiness on Lucia's face, and she wondered whether it was because of Claire's allergic reaction or because her henchmen had been caught.

She went up to Lucia and handed her some medicine. "Aunt Lucia, you don't have to worry about Claire any more. This medicine is specially used for treating pollen allergies. A friend of mine has the same pollen allergy as Claire. She uses this medicine, and the effects are really fast."

Without accepting the medicine, Lucia glanced at her and countered, "I don't know what medicine that is. What if her face is disfigured? Who will take the responsibility?"

"Aunt Lucia, this medicine is from YS Pharmacy." Lily felt a little aggrieved and said, "Trust me! This medicine will definitely work. Otherwise, I would not specially buy it for my sister."

"It works? Can you guarantee it is 100 percent effective and safe?" Lucia was angry because her subordinates had not accomplished their task.

"Lucia..." As Dillon was about to say something, his phone rang, and he had to answer the call first.

"Doctor Song, you have no more medicine? What brand is it? YS Pharmacy's? Okay, I'll send someone to buy it early tomorrow morning."

After saying a few more words, he hung up the phone, looked at Lucia and said, "Doctor Song said it is very effective to treat pollen allergies with YS Pharmacy's medicine. However, the drugstore is now closed, and we will have to wait until tomorrow..."

Suddenly, something occurred to him. He turned to Lily and asked, "Lily, did you just say that the medicine is YS Pharmacy's?"

"Yes." Lily nodded and handed the medicine to her father. "Here it is."

After taking the medicine, he smiled and praised, "Lily, you are so thoughtful."

Lucia felt embarrassed, but she still managed to praise Lily, "Yes, Lily, you are really good. You went to buy medicine for your sister. With this medicine, Claire will recover by tomorrow."

"That's right." Lily smiled and added, "She has to take an exam tomorrow. If she doesn't recover by then, she can't take the exam."

Thinking of the exam scheduled for the next day, Lily couldn't help laughing in her mind as she thought, 'Good things will happen tomorrow. How could Claire not be there?'
