When Aiden Taylor and Harriet White were discussing Lily Turner’s background at home, Evelyn Taylor accidentally overheard them. She found out that Lily Turner was the daughter of her biological uncle, and a sense of unprecedented crisis filled her heart.
With this connection, she and Easton Holmes had no hope at all, something she couldn’t accept for the moment.
She turned her head and ran out of the house, heading towards the old La house, only to encounter Easton Holmes and Lily Turner taking a walk halfway there.
As soon as she met them, she faced a situation that made her extremely upset, and was even mockingly jostled by the other party, causing her to blurt out those words.
"Evelyn Taylor! Stop causing unnecessary trouble here, I have no patience for you anymore." Easton Holmes slapped away Evelyn Taylor’s hand, which was pointed at Lily Turner’s nose, and glared at her angrily, pulling Lily Turner past her to continue walking ahead.
This was the first time Easton Holmes had ever used his hands on Evelyn Taylor. Filled with rage, he struck without restraint.
Her fair and soft hand instantly bore several red marks from his firm slap.
"How am I causing trouble? This woman was obviously the wild child rejected by the Taylor Family back then, yet you treat her like a treasure." Evelyn Taylor shouted loudly at Easton Holmes and Lily Turner’s retreating figures.
Easton Holmes’ heart skipped a beat. He closed his eyes momentarily to calm himself down. Ignoring Evelyn Taylor, he turned to look at Lily Turner, but could only see her profile.
Just now, upon hearing Evelyn Taylor call her a wild child, Lily Turner sensed something was wrong. But since Easton Holmes had interrupted and pulled her away, she hadn’t had the opportunity to ask anything.
Now hearing Evelyn Taylor say this again, she felt even more unsettled, turning to look at Evelyn standing not far behind, "What do you mean by this? What do you mean by saying I’m the Taylor Family’s unwanted child?"
For years, she had been searching for clues about her background but had achieved nothing due to her limited ability, never expecting to accidentally hear news about her lineage today.
Judging by the expression on this woman’s face, Lily thought this news wasn’t fabricated by her. This woman must know something.
"Don’t listen to her nonsense, she..."
"How would you know if she’s speaking nonsense? Do you know about this too?"
Easton Holmes originally intended to prevent Lily Turner from continuing the conversation with Evelyn Taylor, but contrary to his intention, she spotted the flaw in his words and pointed it out directly.
With her woman’s intuition, Lily Turner felt that Easton Holmes probably knew about this matter. Retracting her gaze from Evelyn, she tilted her head to look at him standing beside her, "You must know, don’t you?"
She looked at him with anticipation, hoping he would give her a satisfactory answer.
"Easton! So you knew about this too? Did Uncle Michael tell you?"
Before she could get an answer from Easton Holmes, Evelyn Taylor posed the question to him first, causing Lily Turner’s brows to knit tightly. She stared at him unblinkingly, "Did Uncle know as well? Have you and Uncle been talking about this these past few days?"
No wonder the two of them had been whispering together secretly these past few days, stopping as soon as they saw her.
She thought they were discussing the wedding, but it turned out they were talking about her background.
