Lily Hernandez was amazed by what she saw. As she turned around, she saw Ethan Lee, dressed in a wine-red suit, walking out of the hotel.

It seemed that the scumbag and the bitch had finally found each other on this day...

It appeared that yesterday's incident was most likely planned by Ethan Lee and Emily together.

What kind of deep-seated grudge did she have against Ethan Lee that would make him go through such great lengths to take revenge?

The Hernandez Group, her father falling from a building, her brother getting into a car accident...

Ethan Lee, you will pay the price for this!

Lily Hernandez clenched her fists tightly in secret.

Ethan Lee completely ignored Lily Hernandez and hugged the fragile Emily into his arms, patting her gently on the shoulder and whispering soothing words to her.

Then, with a look of disgust on his face, he looked at Lily Hernandez and spoke in a frivolous tone, "Lily Hernandez, you're no longer the heiress of the Hernandez Group. Instead of holding onto your worthless pride, why don't you kneel down and beg me? Perhaps...I might consider helping your half-dead brother live a little longer."

"Hmph~"

Lily Hernandez let out a cold laugh, her eyes slightly red as she looked down on them, and said indifferently, "Ethan Lee, I hope you won't regret what you've done."

"You dare to look at me with that kind of gaze! What gives you the right!"

Ethan Lee despised nothing more than the disdainful look that Lily Hernandez gave him.

Clearly, she should be kneeling down, begging him with a lifeless expression...

A surge of anger rushed to Ethan Lee's head, and he raised his hand high.

"Ethan Lee..."

A low, cold voice sounded, and Ethan Lee's face turned white as the hand that was about to land on Lily Hernandez's face was retracted.

Emily turned her head and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes come out from the door.

The man's right face had a terrible burn, and although he was sitting in a wheelchair, the chill in his eyes still made people not dare to offend him.

"Mr. Lee..." Ethan Lee respectfully greeted him.

Lily Hernandez directly threw herself into the man's arms, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, "Michael brother, they bullied me... I'm so scared."

Ethan Lee sneered inwardly.

This woman really doesn't know what's good for her. Since he returned to the Huo family, any woman who gets close to Michael Lee disappears the next day.

He glanced at Lily Hernandez's stunning face and couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

Later, he would still ask a favor for this woman and let her serve him well...

Emily's eyes flashed with resentment. This woman, Lily Hernandez, had actually climbed onto Michael Lee!

She gritted her teeth and said with a smile, "Mr. Lee, please don't believe anything Lily Hernandez says. Just now, I just wanted to clarify the engagement with her, but I didn't expect her to curse at me..."

"You dare to look at me with that kind of expression! Who do you think you are?" Ethan Lee detested the disdainful look Lily Hernandez gave him.

She should be kneeling down and begging him right now...

A surge of anger rose up in Ethan Lee, and he raised his hand high.

"Ethan Lee..."

A deep and cold voice sounded, causing Ethan Lee to turn pale and retract the hand that was about to slap Lily Hernandez.

Emily turned to see a man in a suit and tie coming out from the door. The man had a terrible burn on his right cheek and was sitting in a wheelchair, but the coldness in his eyes still made people afraid to offend him.

"Mr. Li..." Ethan Lee respectfully greeted him.

Lily Hernandez rushed into the man's arms, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, "Michael brother, they bullied me... I'm so scared."

Ethan Lee sneered inwardly.

This woman really didn't know any better. Since he returned to the Huo family, any woman who got close to Michael Lee disappeared the next day.

He glanced over Lily Hernandez's stunning face and couldn't help feeling a bit regretful. He decided to do her a favor later and let her serve him properly...

Emily's eyes flashed with resentment. How could Lily Hernandez climb onto Michael Lee like that!

She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Mr. Li, please don't believe what Lily Hernandez said. Ethan just wanted to talk to her about the engagement, but she unexpectedly cursed at Ethan..."

"Exactly," Ethan Lee echoed, "she's a promiscuous woman. After we got engaged, she was still involved with other men. I couldn't take it anymore, so I had to break off the engagement. I didn't expect her to come and pester you, Mr. Lee."

In just a few sentences, he painted himself as a good man who was deeply hurt.

"Let go of her," he immediately moved to pull Lily Hernandez away from Michael Lee.

But the next moment, John, who was standing behind Michael Lee's wheelchair, grabbed Ethan Lee's wrist, as if ready to crush his bones.

"Mr. Lee?" Ethan Lee frowned and looked at the man in the wheelchair, wondering if...

Lily Hernandez buried her head in Michael Lee's chest, hiding her disgust.

Ethan Lee had just been trying to please her family when he was first accepted by the Lee family, and now he was turning the tables...

"I didn't..." she whispered, trying to explain.

Michael Lee reached out and rubbed her head, his cold face softened with tenderness. "Don't be afraid."

Ethan Lee froze. When did Lily Hernandez board Michael Lee's ship?

"Ethan Lee?" Michael Lee looked at him with a dark expression. "You're feeling pretty bold lately?"

Ethan Lee's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Stuttering, he said, "It's not my business, Mr. Lee..."

He had just established a foothold in H City and couldn't afford to offend Michael Lee.

"Emily, apologize to Miss Hernandez now!"

A flicker of contempt flashed through Emily's eyes.

She couldn't believe Ethan Lee was acting like a mouse in front of Michael Lee.

Pathetic!

But she had heard about Michael Lee's methods and had to endure for now.

"Lily, I'm sorry," Emily said sincerely, "please don't hold a grudge against Ethan for my mistake."

Michael Lee was now a useless person, and eventually the Lee Group would fall into Ethan Lee's hands.

She would take all the blame and Ethan Lee would surely like her more.

"In that case, the Lee Group will find someone else to collaborate with on the project outside the city," Michael Lee said indifferently.

"Mr. Lee!"

Ethan Lee never expected that after three months of hard work and effort, the collaboration he had fought for was now gone.

"Get out..."

Ethan Lee unwillingly watched Lily Hernandez nestled in Michael Lee's arms, gritting his teeth.

If it weren't for this woman, the company would have been able to reach a cooperation agreement with the Lee family and achieve great success!

But now, with Michael Lee supporting her, Ethan Lee had to swallow his pride and leave with Emily in the car.

"Are you done acting?" Michael Lee asked in a gentle voice.

Lily Hernandez immediately stood up and drew out the last syllable, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Lee~"

Michael Lee lifted her chin and squinted his eyes.

As expected, some things were addictive and hard to quit.

He stared at Lily Hernandez's red lips and said meaningfully, "All of this requires compensation..."

Compensation? Lily Hernandez's ears turned red and she inexplicably thought of last night.

"Mr. Lee, you should be careful with your indulgences as you get older..." She broke free from Michael Lee's grasp and hurriedly left.

Her small frame couldn't bear it anymore.

Michael Lee watched Lily Hernandez, who ran away faster than a rabbit, and couldn't help but laugh.

"John..." he thought of what Lily Hernandez had just said and asked, "Am I old?"

......

Lily Hernandez went to the school to collect her graduation certificate and arrived at the hospital in the evening. Standing at the door of the ward, she looked at her brother, Song Mingzhe, who was sleeping on the bed and sighed. Her brother's waking hours were becoming shorter and shorter.

Earlier, she asked the duty nurse and was informed that David Hernandez had only been awake for four hours today.

Suddenly, a small ball of glutinous rice cake, barely half her height, appeared out of nowhere and hugged her thigh, calling out in a soft and tender voice, "Auntie..."

Lily's face brightened upon hearing the voice, and she immediately squatted down and hugged the glutinous rice cake. The little one was named Chenchen, David Hernandez's biological son, who was just three years old.

Chenchen was very cute, with delicate features and purple-blue eyes that were quite unique. However, David Hernandez had always refused to reveal his mother's name, and judging from the child's eyes, it was likely that he had been born out of wedlock while David was studying abroad.

Chenchen was also very sensible and never asked who his mother was...

Chenchen's purple-blue eyes were now filled with mist, and he softly asked, "Auntie... is Daddy... is Daddy..."

"No, he won't!" Lily wiped away the tears on Chenchen's face gently and softly said, "Auntie met a good person who will help us cure Daddy's illness..."

Chenchen was more precocious than most children. Lily took a long time to calm him down before he stopped crying.

After putting Chenchen to sleep in the small bed in the corner of the ward, Lily gently closed the door and walked to the balcony, where her phone rang.

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Go get the marriage certificate."
