Chapter 203
"I'm considering your best interests!" Lily's mother said sternly. "Xander just can't compare to his older brother! Money rules over everything else. Look at how glorious Nina is. She's praised by so many. The moment her name is mentioned, everyone knows how outstanding she is. And how about your daughter? Even if she marries an old man, as long as he's wealthy, she'll never have to worry for the rest of her life!"
"Mom!" Lily disagreed. "I'm not as materialistic as you. You're obsessed with money. Everyone says I'm petty. I know who I resemble now-it's you. You're the one who's led me down this path, and now you want my daughter to follow in my footsteps!"
"How can you say that? What's wrong with that?" Lily's mother retorted angrily.
"Fine, fine, fine! I'm useless then. If that's what you think, then go on, go find your son. Stop bothering me, your daughter!" Lily's heart turned cold. She couldn't understand why she had a mother like this. Nina heard everything from outside the door. She didn't speak, only knocking when their anger seemed to subside.
Hearing the knock, Lily was worried about being ridiculed, so she suppressed her anger and spoke in a pleasant tone, "Come in."
Nina entered the room.
Seeing it was Nina, Lily's expression immediately turned sour. Surprisingly, Lily's mother stood up, quickly putting on a smile, "So it's you, Nina. Come, have a seat."
She acted very welcoming, asking with concern, "Would you like some tea? Let me pour you a cup."
Lily was even more dissatisfied with her mother's behavior. Despite knowing that she had a conflict with Nina now, her mother still flattered her. It was clear that she didn't care much about her daughter. Nina couldn't bear this enthusiasm and said lightly, "I don't drink tea. I'm here to see Lily."
With that said, Lily's mother said, "Alright, then talk to your aunt."
She then reminded Lily, "Lily, don't put on a sour face. After all, Nina is your niece. What's the difference between her and your own daughter? Speak nicely. Don't ruin the harmony." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked at Sue again and said, "Stop crying. We're all family here. Everything's fine."
Sue didn't want to lose face in front of Nina, so she wiped away her tears and remained silent.
"What are you here for?" Lily was already seething with anger, and her tone and attitude were not pleasant.
Nina sat down, her gaze shifting to the sexy Sue behind her, and said softly, "Should I not have come since your daughter did such a thing?"
At her words, Lily's expression became even uglier.
Sue turned pale, subconsciously covering her chest, still afraid of being seen.
"Are you here to mock me?" Lily looked at Nina with a frown.
Nina sat upright and serious. "No, I have other business."
"What business?" Lily's tone was cold.
Nina looked around the room, every brick and tile of which was built with her uncle's hard work, and said, "Xander's car was tampered with and exploded, resulting in his death. That's what the police said. came here to find out who's behind it."
Bringing up this matter was like hitting Lily where it hurt the most. She said sharply, "Don't talk to me about this. It's clearly your doing! Stop pretending to be innocent. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have met with an accident. You're the murderer!"
Nina looked at Lily, understanding her emotions. She was simply unwilling to believe this fact and was putting all the blame on her.
