A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 230

“Coffey, stop doing that!” Kay feels sorry for his girlfriend and wants to reason with Coffey. After receiving a cold glance from him, Kay remembers that he cannot win against his boss at all. He has to give in.

Then he picks up a piece of stewed pork with brown sauce for Joey and coaxes her like coaxing a kid, “Joey, try this. Just ignore him.”

Joey looks at the meat in her bowl, falling silent.

This dumb guy is even not capable enough to avenge her on her younger brother.

During the chat, Lily learns from Kay that Joey has finished filming a movie abroad. Kay has something urgent to deal with now. He sends her back home because he’s worried about her safety abroad.

Lily asks, “Are you going to be the bodyguard for a bigwig?”

“No, I’m going to Turkey.” Lily has been in Turkey also at that time and experienced the incidents, so Kay doesn’t hide it. “Last week, an explosion occurred in the factory where the villagers were housed.”

“Any casualties?” Lily asks nervously. It’s she who has brought those people out of the village.

Kay heaves a sigh. “A bit serious. Six villagers and three children were killed. In addition, three villagers and a child were missing. I’m going there to find the missing ones.”

“The factory is owned by the Smith family. Ordinary people don’t have guts to make fuss with it,” Coffey hits the nail on the head. “When we went to the village last time, we encountered a few groups of robbers. Remember?”

“Yeah.” Kay touches the back of his head and adds, “I heard it’s because the villagers’ cells can regenerate so they can stay young. Some institutes wanted to extract their blood for research.”

Joey grabs Kay’s arm and asks excitedly, “Then, can you take someone back and ask those doctors to study on the blood? I also want to stay young forever.”

Kay shakes his head to refuse. “No, I can’t. They are local residents of Turkey. No matter how powerful the Smith family is, they can’t intervene in the affairs of other countries. Besides, those villagers don’t always stay young. I heard they die averagely at the age of fifty.”

“Can’t their cells regenerate? Why can’t they live forever?”

“I don’t know.” Kay kisses her on the cheek and says with a smile, “No worries. Even if you are seventy or eighty in the future, you will still be the most beautiful one in my heart.”

“Stop the sweet talk!” Joey pats him, feeling shy.

Lily lowers her head, lost in thought.

At the beginning, she goes to the village with Louis and gets to know the secret of that kind of plant. After so long, she has thought that the matter is over, but she never expects that someone still secretly pays attention to those villagers.

Those plants can regenerate human cells and indirectly increase human life span. Anyone will go crazy about it after knowing its effect.

After dinner, Lily calls Coffey to her room alone and hands him the sapphire ring

“Coffey, you’re the only one I can trust.” After all, he’s her biological brother and a computer genius. Lily fully trusts him. “Please check out this ring for me.”

Coffey flips through the ring. “From the ring setting, it’s quite old, at least ten years. Lily, where did you get this? Why do you want me to check it out?”

Lily casually answers, “I got it from a friend. Because it’s an old ring, I want you to find its origin for me.”

As long as the craftsman who made this ring is found, what to do next is much easier. After all, this type of sapphire shouldn’t be affordable for any ordinary people years ago. There must be a custom-made record that can be looked into.

Besides, in her trip to the temple with John that day, something she has seen also urges her to check out the ring as soon as possible.

“Okay, I’ll investigate it when I have time.” Coffey puts the ring away.

“And this as well.” Lily hands him a photo. “The man on this photo is Carmen, a deputy president in Smith Group. I need his information as well.”

“I know him.” Coffey stares at the photo and continues in a serious tone, “There are two gangs secretly laundering money for him. He’s very cunning and he hides himself very well. We haven’t found any evidence to prove his crimes yet.”

Lily asks, “What are you studying in college? Why are you looking into such matter?”

“You wouldn’t understand it even if I explain to you. Anyway, I’ll find the information you asked,” Coffey says. He takes a closer look at the ring and returns it to Lily after remembering all details.

Then he adds, “Lily, you must wear this ring all the time. Click on it when you are in danger. Stay away from Carmen and don’t get involved with him. He’s cruel and not afraid to do anything.”

Lily nods, a trace of doubt rising in her heart.

On the night that the Smith family hosts the banquet, when she is chatting with Carmen, Lily feels a sudden pain on her shoulder. Then she has blacked out soon. Has he done something to her?

She hasn’t drunk much at that time, and she does feel the sting on her shoulder.

Coffey, Joey, and their dates have no plan to stay overnight at Daisy’s, so they leave pretty soon after the dinner.

After they’ve left, Lily lies to Daisy that her roommate enjoys the food she cooks and asks her to cook two more dishes.

When Daisy is cooking in the kitchen, she keeps nagging, “Dear, you should go out for fun more at your spare time. You can go see movies. Don’t always stay in the company alone.”

“Let me tell you,” she continues, “You must not only look at the appearance when choosing a boyfriend, because you may be easily deceived by the good look. For example, that Mr. Louis is handsome and he knows how to charm others, but he’s too cunning.”

Lily snorts, “I don’t think you look at him in this way before.”

“Thoughts can always change.” Daisy adds, “Besides, Mr. Louis is too rich to be reliable.”

Lily falls silent.

About an hour later, Lily carries an insulation bag, heading to Louis’ house.

Pressing the doorbell for several times, Lily still stands at the door as no one opens it. She recalls that the card has been hidden in the flowerpot when she leaves earlier, so she fumbles for it in the flowerpot and finds the card among the leaves.

She can’t understand why Louis hasn’t put away the card.

Lily is bitching about his laziness when she swipes the card to open the door. As soon as she goes in, she hears a coquettish laughter.

“Oh, be good! Stop licking me!”

Lily stands stunned for ten seconds, and then a monstrous anger surges in her heart.

Damn! How shameless!

She cares about him and deliberately brings him dinner, but he has let another woman in his house. Hasn’t he told her that seldom people know where his house is located?

Lily is upset and about to turn around and leave when Louis comes to the living room. His shirt sleeves are rolled up. He looks as if he’s busy with something, a thin layer of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

When Louis sees Lily standing at the door with a long face, he asks in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing!” Lily answers in a furious tone, turning around and leaving.

As soon as she has walked down the stairs, Louis catches up with her, grabs her hand, and asks, “Aren’t you bringing me the dinner? Where is it? Why are you leaving?”

“No dinner. Ask the woman in your house to cook, will you?”

Louis feels puzzled. “There’s nobody in my house!”

“Stop pretending!”

Suddenly, Louis seems to think of something. Seeing Lily’s cold face and annoyed look, he slightly raises the corners of his mouth. Then he simply bends over to pick her up and strides into the house, carrying her in his arms.

Lily keeps twisting in his arms. “What are you doing? Let go of me! I’m not going in!”

“I have to prove my innocence.”

After entering the living room, Louis puts Lily down and presses a button on the remote control. “I bet you’ve heard something just now.”

As the huge LCD TV has been turned on, a commercial for a pet hospital is played. In the commercial, a staff in is bathing a Husky, but her face is full of water due to the dog’s paddling. She giggles and tries to stop the dog from licking her hand.

The woman’s voice is exactly the same as the one that Lily has heard just now.
