After a brief pause, Lily said, "Xavion helped find the lawyer"
Maryanne was the first person she'd told about her marriage to Xavier. The night before they registered their
marriage, Maryanne took her out for a drink. The latter ended up gating drunk, and sobbed while hugging her,
making Lily promise to find happiness
Since Terence was there that night, he also knew about her marriage to Zavier. After that, Terence suddenly left
the country and did not return for two years. taly was not as close to hom as before, so she felt awkward
bringing up her divorce plans right after seeing him again.
Thankfully, Terence did not as many questions and only commented, "This matter is going to be troublesfor
everyone involved."
"No matter how much trouble it brings, | can't abandon Hayden," Lily replied.
She knew that by representing Hayden, she would likely becthe focus of public attention and scrutiny. Her
every move would be watched, and one wrong step could lead to severe backlash, but Hayden was her brother
after all.
Even if the car accident seemed suspicious, or if it was truly Hayden's fault, she had to do everything possible to
help him make things right. She could not just stand by and do nothing.

Lily stepped out and adjusted her clothes, taking off the borrowed jacket to return it to Terence. "Thank you,
Terence."
Her wrist was visibly red from where the victim's brother had grabbed her earlier, the bruising impossible to
ignore. Terence noticed but pretended not to see as he took back his jacket. He simply stated, "No need to thank
me. Be careful on your way home"
After saying goodbye, Lily headed to the parking lot. She was driving one of the Joyner family's spare cars since
Bobby was still in the hospital and would not need it for a while. Later that night, a Maybach pulled up to the
villa. Xavier stepped out, his jacket draped over his arm as he loosened his tie and entered the house.
The interior was completely dark, and he paused at the door for a moment. He had not been
hfor several days due to work, and the last the was here was the night Lily had their
argument.
Usually, the lights would still be on when Xavier chome, no matter how late. Then, Lily would greet him at
the door with a warm smile. But tonight, there was only darkness, and he felt strange about it..
He turned on the foyer light, removed his shoes, and entered the living room, tossing his jacket and tie onto the
couch. Following his usual routine, he went upstairs to shower. However, having no one to greet him, take care of
his laundry, or attend to his needs felt odd. Xavier frowned deeply as he pulled out his phone to make a call. He
asked, "How's the case going?"
Alan's voice cthrough the phone. "Thanks to your influence, this case is getting a lot of attention. Even
though it's only an animal-related case, there's a good chance of legal prosecution.".
"Good," Xavier replied as he stepped onto the balcony, the night breeze pressing his pants against his long legs.
"What about the Joyner family case?"
Alan's tone turned serious. "According to Mr. Hammock, it's complicated. He only gives it a 30% chance of
success."
