A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 209

Daniel clearly has the intention to ask more questions. Lily, however, at the thought of Chandler’s secret identity, starts to talk before Daniel can say anything.

“He’s my middle school classmate’s kid, and my mom lives in the same neighborhood with him. So, I take him out when I have time. Mr. Daniel, do you like this kind of child?”

“Your classmate?”

Lily nods her head and continues to make up the story with a straight face, “His mom teaches art, and his dad was a member of the National Ping Pong Team. But he retired last year.”

It’s hard to miss the disappointment felt by Daniel.

Daniel has no clue why this child’s black eye kernels have left such a deep impression on him. He knows what he thought is impossible, but he has to ask.

If Stella had his child, he would know, right?

Lily immediately changes the subject for fear of his suspicion, “Mr. Daniel, does Miss Stella know you have such deep feeling for her? Letting your ex marry your own buddy, you’re such a generous man.”

Daniel casts a cold glance at her.

But Lily isn’t afraid at all. She sees some letters vaguely hiding between his fingers, so she grabs his hand, “These letters must have something to do with Miss Stella.”

Miss Stella! Miss Stella!

Daniel is not in a good mood tonight, when Lily keeps bringing up this name, his rage goes uncontrollable. He clenches her wrist and throws her against the wall.

“Lily, you got what you want; now you can keep your mouth shut.” His eyes are radiating fierce, as if he wants to kill her.

“I didn’t say anything. You’re the one who is throwing a fit.” Lily keeps on picking on him, “I suspect Miss Stella broke up with you because she couldn’t stand your shitty tamper.”

Daniel clenches even harder.

Lily gasps for pain. She thinks her wrist may be broken at any time.

“Daniel, you don’t want to do this to me.” Lily stares at him with growing rage, “I know exactly what you did.”

Daniel sneers. He pushes his head towards Lily and asks with sarcasm, “Well, what do you have on me?”

Lily chills out of fright.

It’s freaking scary.

Her heart is pounding faster as if something is pressing on her chest. Lily gets sweats on her forehead and looks so pale. Without any sign, she just falls into Daniel’s arms.

Daniel pushes her away the next second, trying to keep a distance with her.

“Lily?”

Seeing Lily’s pale face, Daniel is shocked for a moment. He picks her up, the second he lifts his head up, he finds Stella is holding on to the wall. Stress flies all over his stomach.

He says nothings and leaves with Lily in his arms.

Stella scratches her fingers into the wall, feeling a little bit breathless.

She knows Lily feels nothing for Daniel, but seeing such intimate scene, she’s still jealous.

Right after she calms herself down, she goes to Louis and tells him everything.

“Lily passed out?”

Louis strides to guest lounge with Stella without any hesitation, and calls Justin.

The phone dials, then Justin’s voice appears, “Daniel called me thirty seconds ago. I’m on my way here. You can check her out first.”

“ASAP.” Louis says.

Louis enters the guest lounge, and Lily is lying on the sofa, looking all pale, breathing fast.

He asked Daniel, “What happened?”

“We were talking, and she just suddenly fainted.” Daniel is explaining the situation, “First, she was sweating, and now her heart is racing.”

Louis lowers his body at once to see if Lily is fine.

He’s no doctor, so he can’t describe her symptoms, and he can’t touch her causally neither. He only can tell Lily is breathing hard, and the sweats are all over her forehead.

It feels like his heart is being pinched.

He calls Justin again to ask him come quicker.

His tone is fretted, but he doesn’t realize that. Daniel glances at him and purses his lips.

Is he worried about Lily?

Then why he married Stella?

Louis can’t help himself but checking Lily. Finally, Justin arrives in his anxious wait.

As soon as Justin sees Lily, his face turns gloomy.

He puts on gloves right away. While examining Lily, he asks Louis to open the med kit and make up the prescription according to his order.

When Louis finishes drawing the meds into the syringe, Justin injects it into Lily’s body immediately.

Three minutes later, Lily’s breath becomes stable, and her face gradually turns red. Knowing she is getting better, Louis is relieved.

“What’s wrong with her?” He asks Justin.

“Find out what she has eaten and who she has interacted with tonight.” Justin takes off the gloves, somehow still looking shocked, “Fortunately you called me after she passed out, otherwise …”

Louis’s face clouds as he orders Leigh emotionlessly, “Give me a copy of tonight’s cctv.”

Someone did this under his nose. How dare.

Shorter than ten minutes, Leigh comes with the copy.

In the surveillance video, there had always been people trying to talk to her. Some of them even wanted to take advantage of her by standing really close to her and touching her hand.

Lily didn’t have much but two glasses of champagne. When Louis was having the speech on stage, she followed Daniel to the corner.

Everyone is shocked when seeing Daniel pushing Lily against the wall.

Leigh looks in Daniel’s direction and teases him, “Damn, I can’t believe you’ve done that.”

Louis kicks him hard, looking all gloomy.

Daniel shows no embarrassment. He explains shortly, “She was joking.”

Joking?

Who would do that intimate shit because of a joke?

Leigh has a lot in mind. He looks at Daniel and then Louis because he wants to be in this mess desperately. Stella, who has been quiet, stands out and changes the subject.

She asks, “From what we have seen, nobody did anything to her. So, what actually happened?”

“She was drugged, some kind of hard drug.” Justin says with a serious face, “It’ll cause heart stroke. Once the drug is absorbed by the body, it won’t show in drug test. Unless you cut open the body and examine.”

“If the death cause is defined as heart stroke, people will automatically think of fatigue.” Leigh thinks with hand on his chin. Then he looks at Louis, “Didn’t a senior manager of Smith Group die of this?”

Looking at Lily’s pale face, Louis grunts assent. He says with a cold and hard voice, “It’s her manager who died, heart stroke on the ride.”

Justin sneers, “If being tired can cause heart stroke, countless population will die every year. What a nice plan. Leaving no trace.”

“Who killed her manager?” Leigh wonders, “And why do it to her too?”

Louis plays his fingers on the trousers, “I heard Leon was secretly doing money laundering for someone. Then he wanted to quit and take his wife and child to New York. I suppose those people killed him, but I can’t find any evidence.”

When Louis got the report on Leon’s death, he had suspicions. He also asked Clyde to investigate, but nothing was found. Later he had to deal with the business in the Smith family, so that was set aside.

That person wants to kill Lily in the same way.
