Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 66

Monday came the day for classes. It was time for Lily to go back to the school. That morning, Andrew drove Lily to the school. After visiting Lily, Eric went back home. His leg needed to rest for a while.

The marks on her neck hadn't been completely cleared up. So she put on a high collar dress. It was late autumn now, so it was not so obtrusive.

After arriving at the school, she got out of the car and waved to Andrew, saying, "Bye, brother Andrew. Be careful on your way home."

"Yes." Andrew smiled and started the car.

Lily didn't withdraw her sight until the car disappeared. She had been living in the manor for two days, and the greatest harvest was to experience the real family.

A mother's love, a father's love, and the care from an elder brother. Although Kerr and Andrew were not real father and elder brother, they made her feel more comfortable than family members.

As soon as she turned around and walked towards her classroom, she heard sarcastic voice from behind.

"Hey, you just left for a few days and now you met another boy!" It was easy to guess who the voice was.

Lily turned around indifferently, only to see the contemptuous expression on Claire's face. At the same time, Eden stood behind her, frowning.

Finally, she looked at Claire's foot and said ironically, "Look! Your foot is recovering quickly."

"You..." Claire's face turned green and white alternately, and then she raised her voice, as if she was showing off, "Of course, with the careful care of my father, it suddenly well. Unlike some people, father didn't even want to take a look at her."

Lily smiled carelessly and was about to refute her. But before she could say something, Eden spoke first. He looked at his sister unpleasantly and said, "Claire, that's enough."

"Brother!" Claire looked at Eden in disbelief. "You always protect her. How many times do you want me to repeat? I'm your sister!"

"You should learn more from Lily. Don't behave like a child in front of others."

"So what? If you like her, you can be her brother. Do you think I really care about you?"

"Claire..."

But before he could finish his sentence, his words were interrupted by her in a huff. "Don't call me like that. Humph! You can be the bitch's brother. I'll never call you brother again!"

After that, she glared at Eden, then at Lily, and turned around to walk towards the classroom.

Eden felt helpless, looked at Lily apologetically and said, "Please don't mind. She's just this tempered."

Lily smiled, "I know. But I think you'd better let your mother teach her better. This kind of personality… No matter where she goes, she will always suffer losses."

Eden was a little embarrassed. What she said was true.

Lily ignored Claire's mockery. These days, Claire was staying at home with an injured foot, and she didn't go to school. Lily guessed that she didn't know that the rumor that she was a mistress' daughter had been everywhere. Even Eden, couldn't escape. However, as a low-key man and a good-looking man, and many girls liked him, he was naturally less likely to be attacked.

But on the contrary, Claire was a competitive and lovable girl. She would go home crying later.

"Your neck..." Eden changed the topic and looked at Lily's neck which was covered by her collar. He asked in an unusual tone.

"Nothing." Lily shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm much better now. Let's go. It's time for class."

Seeing that, Eden didn't ask any more questions. One by one, they walked towards the classroom.

When they entered the classroom, Becky grabbed Lily's hand and looked at her carefully from head to toe. She didn't heave a sigh of relief until she was sure that Lily wasn't hurt.

"That's great. You really scared me."

"Since when are you so timid?" Lily joked, "I'm tough. How could I get hurt so easily and..."

Then she waved her left hand in front of Becky and continued, "And this, you gave it to me. It's my amulet."

Looking at the bracelet, Becky smiled and thought for a while. Then she said in a serious tone, "It is necessary for me to give you a lucky talisman, in case you get into trouble again and again."

"You are superstitious." Lily said with a smile. She was just trying to make her happy just now. She could not repay Becky's kindness.

Lily was right. When the second class was over, Claire rushed into their classroom and walked up to Eden.

"Brother, I want to go home." Her eyes were red and there was a deep nasal sound in her tone. Obviously, she was overwhelmed.

Eden frowned and said in a low voice, "There is still class. Go back to class."

"No class. I want to go home. You drive me home!"

"Don't be naughty."

"No way!"

"Claire..."

"Brother, how can I focus on my study?" Claire interrupted him. She looked at him with her red and swollen eyes and said, "They are all saying that I am the daughter of a mistress. Lily was the one."

"Claire!" Eden unhappily looked at his sister and said, "You're not a little girl anymore. Pay attention to the occasion when you speak!"

"You scold me again." Claire looked at him discontentedly, "Do you really take me as your sister?"

Eden felt a headache. They were in the classroom now, and everyone's attention was drawn by her. His sister was indeed spoiled. She had always been so self willed when she spoke and acted.

He stood up, grabbed her hand and took her outside. Things in the classroom were getting worse.

Looking at them, Lily just smiled. She knew that Claire would be like this after hearing the rumor.

On the contrary, Becky said coldly when Eden was holding Claire's hand passing her desk, "Are you feeling bad now? You were happy when you defamed Lily, weren't you?"

Hearing that, Claire stopped walking, turned around and glared at her. "Who are you? I don't want you to gossip here. Lily is the daughter of the mistress. If it weren't for her mother, I would be the real daughter of the Qiao family!"

"But, according to the law, Lily's mother is Mrs. Qiao, isn't she?" Said Becky with a smirk.

"Now my mother is the one!"

"But it is late."

"You..." She raised her hand and was about to slap on Becky's face.

Becky tried to dodge her hand subconsciously. But before she could take a step forward, Claire was stopped by Eden. "What are you doing?"

"Let go of me. She started it!" Claire struggled as if she really wanted to slap her. She stared at Becky with dissatisfaction and said, "How can an outsider comment on our family affairs?"

"Enough!" Eden roared at her, gave Becky an apologetic look, and pulled Claire out, "Get out with me."

"Brother, let me go!" Claire tried to break free from the grip of Eden, but she failed. He forcibly dragged her out.

"What a wild woman Claire is! How dare she act wild here?"

Someone whispered at the sight.

"Exactly. If I were her, I wouldn't have come to school. How could she do such thing?"

"Do you think she resembles you? With her character, she will make a splash in the whole school."

"Can't she be a little more discreet? When Lily was blamed by others, she never acted like this."

Lily turned a blind eye to the discussions in the classroom. But she felt extremely ashamed of Claire. Media was really good. It was so easy to praise someone and hurt someone.

Now Lily does n't have to do anything to revenge what Claire has done to her in the past, she can kill herself because her mind is too simple and too willful. She never considers the consequences of doing things and she only cared about what she thought.

"Alas, Eden is really embarrassed." With a sigh, Becky sat down again. "How could he have such a sister? It's just too much torture. I don't know why, there is always a kind of personality gap between them as they don't look like having the same mother."

Lily smiled noncommittally and said casually, "I think so."

Lily was picked up by Daniel when the class was over. She had told Joe that she would only stay with Tina for a couple of days, so she had to go to the old house.

However, Andrew didn't know so he also came to the school to pick her up to the manor after school.

When Lily saw his car, she walked over with a smile and knocked on the car window. After Andrew rolled down the window, she said with a smile, "I'm going to the Qiao family's old house today, so I won't go back to the manor. Please help me go back to tell uncle Kerr and my mother."

After glancing at her and then at Daniel's car, he stretched out his hand and touched her head, saying, "Okay, take care. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay." Lily answered with a smile, then waved at him and said, "See you, brother Andrew."

"Bye."

She and Andrew had only been together for two days. Maybe it was because he had saved her life, and he had taken good care of her, she had a sense of dependence on him, which made her feel like he was her family member.

When she returned to the old house, an unexpected guest came into the living room.

As Joe was not at home, only Lucia was sitting in the living room, drinking tea, and Sunny was standing beside her.

"You're back, Lily." Seeing Lily enter the house, Lucia stood up with fake smile on her face.

Lily raised her eyebrows slightly and stopped a few steps away from her. She called her in a low voice, "Auntie."

"I heard from Eden that you were injured, so I came here specially to see you." Her tone showed that she really cared about her. Lucia looked her up and down carefully.

Lily laughed coldly in her heart. 'She just wanted to get something from her.'
