Lily Turner's words instantly infuriated Jenny York, who started jumping up and down on the other end of the phone, angrily shouting, "Lily Turner! Don't get so smug. I won't let this go easily."
"I'll be waiting for you!"
No matter how the person on the other end of the line would react, Lily Turner finished speaking and rudely hung up the phone. After hanging up, she was so angry she was practically panting for breath.
She must have been blind to have become best friends with someone like that, and they had been friends for seven years. In those seven years, she didn't see at all what kind of person her best friend truly was.
It seems she wasn't just blind, but her heart was blind too. Otherwise, she wouldn't have failed to see what kind of people her best friend and fiancé were.
And now she says she won't let it go? Lily would like to see about that...
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Lily Turner raised her right hand and slapped her forehead hard. Look at her, the pig-brained fool; she'd forgotten the most important thing.
Not thinking any further, she flipped through her phone's contact list, quickly finding the number labeled Easton. She hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to call.
"Sorry! The number you dialed is turned off!"
Lily Turner was already prepared for scolding and blame, but what she heard was the notification that the other person's phone was turned off. She dialed again, only to hear the same message.
Does that man turn his phone off when he sleeps at night?
After trying twice and getting the same result, Lily Turner assumed it was just like that and stopped trying that number. She switched to dialing Luke Crowe's number.
However, to her surprise, she again heard the notification that the other person's phone was turned off.
What was going on with these two? Had they planned this in advance?
Lily Turner glanced at the time on her phone; it was already 6:30 in the morning. She decided to try again in half an hour.
Unbelievably, half an hour later, the result was the same: both phones were still turned off.
She waited another ten minutes before trying again, but she still heard the same notification, and by this point, she couldn't stay calm.
Even if they turn their phones off while sleeping, they should have turned them on by morning, right? Could it be that they've put her number on a blacklist?
Recalling the scene from the last time she saw Easton Holmes, Lily Turner was almost certain of her suspicions. With this thought, she rolled her eyes dramatically.
How could a grown man be so petty? Besides, she hadn't said anything wrong that day. She hadn't even gotten mad at him, yet he was mad at her first.
He doesn't want to deal with her? She would love not to deal with him either, but she couldn't. If she didn't resolve the issue with the apartment, the accusation of being kept as a mistress would definitely stick.
What on earth should she do?
If Jenny York really went to investigate, she would quickly find out about that apartment in Scenic Garden Apartments. The paperwork from the property transfer is the most genuine and direct evidence.
With such ironclad evidence, people wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity to expose everything online. At that point, she wouldn't be able to explain herself, no matter how many mouths she had.
Thinking of this, Lily Turner could no longer stay in her room. She grabbed her phone and walked out, heading next door to borrow Alice Turner's phone.
Without knocking, Lily Turner pushed the door open and walked in. She'd never had the habit of knocking for years, but the same went for her and Alice; neither of them ever knocked before entering each other's rooms.
