Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 155

On the way to Alice's company, Lily was in a good mood with a smile on her face. She sat on the passenger seat, humming a cheerful song.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Eric was in a good mood. When he drove the car, he glanced at her from time to time. She smiled, and he laughed too. While she was humming the rhythmic music, his hand on the steering wheel made a rhythmic click.

For Lily, she can help someone as long as she can in this life, not to mention Alice and Becky. This life can make up for the sins created by the previous life.

Alice didn't have a big company and she didn't own any independent high-rise buildings. She just bought two floors in one office building as her working place.

Although her working place was a little small, it was warm. Perhaps because it was designed by a fashion designer, there were a lot of young girls coming and going in the company.

Lily and Eric were quite familiar with the way. When she saw the people passing by, she looked down subconsciously at her chest. Well, it was not a competition at all!

Probably because they were connected to the designers, they were wearing different kinds of clothes… especially.

Yes, that was special for Lily. But one thing was that the slender waist and plump breast wore by the young women would certainly show their advantages to the most extent.

Eric didn't pay attention to her little movement. His eyes swept over the floor and everyone was walking back and forth. He saw one man shouting with clothes in his hand and then shouting in the other side. They were highly active in working and seemed to be so busy that no one noticed two strangers entering the company.

"They don't seem to be affected at all. They are active." He whispered to Lily.

"Yes." Lily nodded and said, "Maybe they believe in aunt. That's why they are fine."

Eric agreed with her on this point. If the employees of a company didn't have confidence in their leader so if the leaders' scandal was spread, they would have quit the job and never tried their best to work here.

"Why are you here, Lily, Eric?" Alice walked out. A trace of surprise flashed across her face when she saw them.

"Aunt." Lily then smiled and said, "We are here to talk about something with you."

"What is it?" She walked to them and asked.

Lily took a look at the person following her. It was not Ken, but a person she did not know. It should be one of the employees. She was holding a folder in her hand, and it seemed that she had something to tell her.

"Aunt, how about we talk after you finish your work?" Lily asked tentatively.

"Wait a moment." Then she turned to the person following her and said, "if that person wants to leave, let her go. I don't need a subordinate who doesn't trust me."

"Okay, I know." Said the man.

"Yes." Alice nodded and said, "You can leave now. If anything happens, let me know in time."

"I see, Miss Alice. I'm leaving now."

"Yes."

After the man left with the folder, Alice turned to look at Lily and Eric. She smiled apologetically and said, "I'm in a special period now. The company is shaking because of this incident. I'm afraid that it will be lost one day."

Lily knew what she meant. She could even tell from her voice that Alice, who used to be confident, was dejected.

"No, aunt Alice. You must be confident in yourself. I totally believe in you." Then she gave a mysterious smile to Alice and continued, "Believe me, the truth will come to light soon."

Alice was totally confused by her words.

Seeing Lily, Eric shook his head and reached out his hand to hold her hand. He said in a spoiled tone, "Okay, don't tease aunt. Let's go to the office."

The two's behaviors were very strange in the eyes of Alice. She looked back and forth between the two people in confusion and asked, "Did you know something?"

"Yes." Lily admitted with a big smile, "But, aunt, I think it's better for us to go to the office and have a talk."

Her mysterious expression aroused Alice's curiosity. She said, "Okay, let's go to my office."

"Yes." Lily nodded her head, held Eric's hand, and followed behind Alice towards her office.

The three walked across the working area, heading towards Alice's office. On the way there, many employees looked at them from the corner of their eyes, and some even whispered to each other. It seemed that they wanted to get information from any strangers in the company at this special period.

As soon as they entered the office, Alice closed the door, completely blocking those curious glances outside.

"Can you tell me now?" Then she turned to them and said, "You two look so mysterious, which aroused my curiosity."

"Of course." Lily smiled. She let go of Eric's hand and handed the other file bag to Alice. "Aunt, you can check it first. You will know what happened."

"What's this?" She asked as she took the folder.

"You'll know when you see it." Lily kept her in suspense.

Unable to get an answer from her, Alice had to open the envelope and read the contents herself. Then she sat down in front of the desk, opened the folder and took them out.

In the meantime, Lily and Eric were at ease. They went straight to the couch in the middle of the office where they were waiting for the guests to be seated, and waited for Alice to see her performance.

They sat next to each other. Lily had nothing to do, so she just played with Eric's hands quietly. Sometimes she pinched the back of his hands, sometimes she rubbed it in his palms, and sometimes wrapped his hands in both of hers.

The more Alice looked at the things in her hands, the angrier she became. Her hands were even trembling because of anger, and her face suddenly changed.

Slap!

She slapped so hard that everything on the table was shaken. "I trusted him so much, but I didn't expect that he was the one behind this!"

Lily was startled by the sudden slap, and trembled a little. Meanwhile, Eric reached out calmly to pat her back. It was not because she was too timid, but because this happened too suddenly. She knew well about Alice's character, which was simple and violent.

"Aunt, you scared her." Eric raised his head and looked at her. There was a trace of blame in his tone.

But Alice didn't come to herself until a while later. "I'm sorry. I was too angry," she apologized.

"Yes." Eric answered indifferently. As he patted on Lily's back, he said, "This thing may be a surprise to you. Lily told me that Ken has always been your most trusted man, and also your most capable assistant. So when we investigated him, we didn't tell you in advance."

She was grateful for their help to her. But there was one thing that she didn't understand. She looked at the two in confusion. "Why do you suspect Ken? And you have never met him before."

Hearing this, Eric did not answer her question. He turned to Lily and said, "Well… You'd better let girl tell you by herself."

"What?" With a confused look on her face, she shifted her eyes from Eric to Lily. "Lily?"

Seeing that she was asking her, Lily straightened herself and looked directly into her eyes. "Aunt Alice, do you still remember what I told you the first time I met Ken?"

Alice frowned and seemed to be recalling something in the past.

It had been a long time since then. Lily knew that she was still in a daze, so she continued, "One day, I had an accident. When I was in the hospital, you went abroad with Becky. The first thing you did when you came back home was to see me in the hospital. I told you that he was not a trustworthy man, so I asked you to be careful."

"Oh, I remember." "But it was also the first time you met him. How did you know that he was not a reliable person?"

She was confused. She had been working for him for so many years, but she didn't notice there was something wrong with him. It was Lily who sensed it at the first time.

Lily's eyes flickered. She couldn't tell the truth, so she thought about it for a while and said, "Perhaps the sixth sense. Aunt, you know, the sixth sense of women is strange. Many times, when you meet something or meet someone for the first time, you will have a feeling that you can't explain it clearly."

She didn't doubt the authenticity of her words, because at this moment, she was completely focused on the fact that Ken had betrayed her.

This investigation material was very clear. It was his secret did something. He handed over all the drafts she had intended to participate in the contest to the competitors in advance. After being revised and polished, the competitors handed in the drafts before her, which caused the plagiarism.

However, she was so stupid to ask Ken to help her solve this matter and find out who framed her. Wasn't it just his intention to give him the opportunity to completely ruin her reputation?

She is such a fool. She have cultivated him for so many years in vain.

Seeing that she was lost in her own thoughts, Lily turned her head and looked at Eric, without saying a word.
