Sophia Wood and her daughter Lily Turner were both in a stubborn mood, one trying to punch the other to death, while the other stood there taking the blows without any intention of admitting fault.
Seeing this situation, Alice Turner felt a headache coming on, but she couldn't separate Sophia Wood alone no matter how hard she pulled, so she set aside her fear of embarrassment and loudly called for the housemaid, Auntie Hua, to come help, "Auntie Hua! Auntie Hua..."
"Miss!"
Auntie Hua, who had wisely retreated to her room earlier, answered Alice's call and rushed out of her room.
"Hurry and come help!"
Seeing Auntie Hua rush out, Alice waved for her to come and help without further delay.
With Auntie Hua's help, Alice finally managed to pull Sophia Wood aside to prevent her from suddenly charging at Lily Turner again. Alice wrapped her arms tightly around Sophia and they sat down together on the sofa.
"Mom! Lily is not that kind of person at all. The things online are just baseless rumors." Although Alice knew who the mysterious investor was, she firmly believed in Lily's innocence with that man.
She didn't know that man, but she knew her sister, who had grown up with her all her life. Her sister was definitely not the kind of person described online.
Sophia Wood snorted coldly at Lily Turner standing by, "If there's nothing to gossip about, then why are they gossiping about her..."
"Are you saying that all the things online are true? That I've really been kept by that mysterious investor?" Before Sophia could finish, Lily couldn't help but interrupt her angrily.
In her anger, Sophia blurted out, "Yes."
After she spoke, she regretted it a little, but she couldn't swallow her pride to correct herself, especially since her daughter didn't give her the chance.
"Ha ha! You guessed it right." Lily laughed bitterly in anger, "That mysterious investor did indeed keep me, otherwise why would he invest two hundred million in the film I star in? We are both benefiting from this relationship, he desires my beauty, and I desire his..."
"Lily! What nonsense are you saying?"
Unable to listen to Lily debase herself any further, Alice shouted sternly.
She wasn't angered or irritated by Alice's stern shout; instead, she felt touched and grateful to Alice. Lily stopped speaking nonsense, turned around, and silently went upstairs.
When Alice saw Lily go upstairs, she let out a sigh of relief, and only after making sure Sophia wouldn't chase after Lily did she slowly release her arms.
"Mom! Those things online are really just baseless rumors, that myst..." Alice was about to reveal the identity of the mysterious investor when she suddenly remembered her promise to Lily not to tell anyone about it, so she quickly changed course, "Lily doesn't even know the mysterious investor, how could something like that happen between two people who don't know each other?"
Sophia Wood had gradually calmed down by then. She turned to look at Alice sitting next to her, "Is all this what she told you?"
"Yes!" Alice nodded. "Lily's company is investigating this matter, and when the truth comes out, everything will be clear. At that time..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, there was a loud, rude knock at the door.
