Lily Turner’s arrival was sudden for Nova Lambert and Winson, but for Emily Young standing opposite her, it didn’t feel sudden or unexpected at all.
As soon as she walked over, Emily Young saw her, but out of her own selfish motives, Emily didn’t inform the other two who were gossiping with her.
Hearing the words Lily Turner just said to her, Nova Lambert was actually very, very angry inside, but she appeared calm on the surface, showing no sign of her anger.
"Lily! You really know how to joke, how could I possibly want to be a man?" Nova managed to squeeze out a smile on her beautiful face, albeit with a hint of awkwardness and discomfort.
This woman spoke so spitefully about her just now and could turn around and smile at her.
What exactly is up with this woman?
Nova Lambert is always all smiles usually; if Lily Turner hadn’t heard her say those things with her own ears just now, she would have been fooled by her smile.
"Nova Lambert! You’ve seen me sleep with countless men?" Lily Turner was now very angry; she didn’t hide her fury in her heart as Nova Lambert did, nor did she want to, because the other party’s actions amounted to a personal attack.
Nova still kept her smile from earlier, "I was just joking, don’t take it seriously."
As she spoke, she reached out to pat Lily’s arm, but her hand was slapped away by Lily.
"Did you know Nova Lambert has slept with countless men? I bet you didn’t." Joking? She could joke like that too.
Lily Turner was merely retaliating against Nova Lambert in dissatisfaction, but Winson and Emily Young believed her, both turning their heads to look at Nova with expressions as if she really had been with many men.
"Don’t look at me like that, you two; I have not slept around." Nova was getting a bit irritated, but she directed her anger toward Winson and Emily.
Seeing this situation, Lily coldly smirked, "So you know how to get angry, huh? I was just joking."
Some things she didn’t say didn’t mean she couldn’t, some things not done didn’t mean she wouldn’t.
"Lily Turner! How can you make such jokes?" Hearing Lily say she was just joking, Winson was a bit upset, turning to glare at her in dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Lily got angry too and glared back at Winson without backing down, "What? Only officials can set fires, and the people can’t light lamps?"
Some things she could endure, but some things she absolutely could not tolerate, otherwise people might think she didn’t care and would say even more outrageous things.
"That’s not what I meant."
Being questioned by Lily like that, Winson suddenly felt she might have been impulsive and nosy just now, so she took a step back.
"Then you..."
Lily was about to ask Winson what she meant when she suddenly saw Helena and Freya Yeager walking hurriedly toward them.
She didn’t even have to think to guess that Helena saw her arguing with the three women, worried she might cause trouble, and ran to find Freya, who was in the car.
"Lily! What’s going on?"
Freya Yeager strode over, barely catching her breath, and immediately asked Lily Turner.
