Loid laughed out loud with a tender look in his eyes. âOne cent in interest. How does that sound?
âDeal,â Lily readily agreed.
It felt good to be spending her fiancéâs money.
Meanwhile, Shaun felt envious of the coupleâs loving interaction.

Soon, she received a reply âFuck! Who are they? I thought you edited my coordinates.â
Stealing a glance at Loid, she found him enjoying some shutâeye. She looked away and fell into a short silence. Then, she wrote: âTheyâre the people who were after you today.â
Speechless, Venom thought, âUgh, they wonât stop haunting me!â
Venom: âCool I have trust in Haudeâs disguise techniques. Iâll be waiting for them at Alchos. Letâs see if theyâll recognize me. Thanks.â
Lily did not reply this time. She tucked her phone into her pocket and had some shutâeye. She hadnât asked Loid about his grudge with Venom. After all,
It wasnât a conflict she could resolve in person.
Many of her identities had been exposed lately. She would only invite trouble if people found out she was Kfrom Alchos.
After dinner at the Laurier residence, Arthur consumed the medicine that Nell had prepared for him, followed by an acupuncture session. He looked more vigorous after that.
Melanie and Stefan left home three hours later than Loid and Lily, and they just made it to the Laner residence not long ago.
When Loy got home, she saw Arthur chatting merrily with Melanie and Stefan, who had dropped by for a visit. Arthur clearly seemed fond of Stefan and his family, judging from the care smile on his face.
Melanie took Lilyâs hand. âYou must be tired after a day of traveling in the car.â
âIâm okay.â Lily was sleepy but tried her best to be agreeable around Melanie.
Arthur did not know Lily that well, but he had heard about Lily from Melanie. After meeting the young lady in person, he took a liking to her.
He motioned at Lily to come over. âHere, young lady, Letâs have a chat.â
Nodding, Lily took a seat beside him.
âI heard you cured Loidâs illness. Is that true? Arthur forced a smile to make himself appear friendly and warm. Having spent years in business, he carried himself with an intimidating air, which he feared might be offputting for Lily.
Staring at her feet, she replied softly, âYes.â
âGreat Great.â Nodding furiously, Arthur praised her, âYouâre so successful at such a young age! Melanie was right. Loid doesnât deserve you!â
Laid was rendered wordless at Arthurâs backhanded compliment.
Tilting her head, Lily glanced at him with a smile. âHeâs fine, I guess I donât have high standards.â
