A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 198

"Lily, why do you hurt Jason?"

Janet squeezes Lily's throat and tries to kill her, "You've been Louis' woman, why do you hurt my son?"

Lily can hardly breathe, and her neck is bleeding. However, she remains motionless.

As soon as David sees the scene, he rushes over them and pushes Janet away, "Mrs. Janet, calm down. Miss Lily is innocent as well."

"My son is dead!" Janet points at Jason's body, "She kills him. I want her to pay for it!"

She pounces on Lily again.

However, David stops Janet by asking guards to take her out. Then, he says to Lily, "Miss Lily, leave it to me. You can go back now."

Lily asks him, "You knew about Louis' plan and went to New York due to it, didn't you?"

"Yes..."

"Mr. Lou and the others came back from New York because of it as well?"

"Yes."

"It turns out I'm the only one being deceived," Lily laughs at herself, "I am silly!"

David explains, "Miss Lily, Mr. Smith doesn't mean to ..."

"I want to see Louis!" Lily interrupts him and gives Jason's body a deep look before leaving.

David sighs and follows her.

As Louis is at the Smith Group, David takes Lily to the company. When seeing Lily, all the journalists present crowd around her and want to interview her.

Lily pushes them away and goes straight to the interview room.

In the room, Olivia and Louis are having an interview. When the door is opened, all people inside see Lily who wears sullen expression.

Lily looks at Louis and says in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Smith, let's have a talk."

Olivia feels unhappy, "Miss Lily, we are busy. Why do you bother us? Don't disgrace the Smith Group by being so rude."

"Who do you think you are?" Lily sneers and leaves.

All people in the room are shocked.

They never expect Lily is so arrogant.

Olivia's face falls.

She is regretful for letting Lily off easily.

"Auntie, I've finished what I want to say. I'm gonna leave as well," Louis said.

Lily waits for him at his office.

When seeing him on the wheelchair, she finds it ironic. She walks forward and looks down at him with her hands on the wheelchair, "When did you start your plan?"

"Since I came back from Turkey," Louis remains calm, "Lily, I don't want to exploit you. You're smart. I think you are capable."

"Then, why do you lie to me? Mr. Smith, can you be honest now?" Lily sneers and can hardly repress her fury. She grabs the wheelchair tightly.

"Why are you so ruthless? Jason died because of you. Do you know what I felt when he died?"

As she has divorced Jason, they are even.

Why is he so stupid? Why did he protect her?

She is unworthy of his sacrifice!

Not at all!

Lily begins to tremble as her tears dropping on his arm, "Louis, I'll help you if you tell me."

"I didn't expect Richard would hurt you," Louis explains when seeing Lily's reaction. He is afraid of losing her.

He didn't expect Jason would be shot for Lily as well.

Lily laughs and says in a hoarse voice, "Given what you've done to Ellison, Richard will do everything to revenge on you. He even gives his stake to John."

She doesn't come here to quarrel with Louis.

There's no need as well.

Lily wipes away her tears and takes a deep breath before asking, "At the hotel in Turkey, you gave me three promises. Do you remember?"

Louis remains silent for a while and nods, "Yes."

"Alright," Lily continues, "At first, apologize to me."

Lily is serious, and her brown eyes are full of cold.

Louis says, "I'm sorry."

"Secondly," Lily stares at him and says word by word, "Whatever Jason's identity is, I want him to be admitted as a Smith and buried next to his family. At his funeral, all the Smiths have to offer condolences."

"Alright."

"Thirdly, you have to take care of Jason's mother for the rest of her life."

"Alright."

Louis agrees to all of Lily's requests.

"Thank you," Lily asks David to prepare her resignation letter.

Louis says to David, "Go and get it."

Not long after, he comes back with a resignation letter, which has been signed by Olivia.

As Lily used to help Louis, Olivia is glad about her resign.

Lily signs it and smiles at Louis, "From now on, I have no relationship with the Smith Group and you. I wish you will succeed."

When she reaches the door, Lily stops and looks down at the diamond she wears round her neck.

It is bright.

Lily hands it to David and says with her lips tight, "I understand what it means until today."

It is not for her.

Watching her wet back leaving, Louis feels uncomfortable and regretful. He realizes that he doesn't want to upset her.

It seems that she is more important than his imagination.

"Mr. Smith, your phone rings," David says, "It's an unknown number."

Louis answers it.

"Mr. Smith, I admire your courage. I didn't expect you would give up the Smith Group," it is John on the other end, "I feel angry for you when watching the news today."

"Why would Jason appear?" Louis asks in a calm voice.

John continues after having a serious cough, "Mr. Smith, don't try to lie. She will know at last. It's easy to get her sympathy as well as to get her hatred."

"I didn't want to use Jason. He took the initiative to contact me when he saw the news. As you are busy at competing with Olivia and have made use of Lily, I don't think you will mind Jason's involvement."

Louis sneers, "What you did is harmful to both of us. Now, Lily will never forget Jason."

"So what? He's dead," John chuckles, "Lily will never forgive both of us."
