Chapter 371: Now, Rules Have Been Changed
Chapter 371: Now, Rules Have Been Changed
There are private designers in Krislier Group, and they live in the east of the manor, so servants take a
sightseeing bus there to fetch clothes.
The gown is rather noble and elegant. With the multiple folds down below, it is quite heavy.
Noticing her small waist, one servant brings Lily a corset, which makes Lily's face turn pale. She
refuses immediately, adjusts her dress slightly, runs away in a hurry.
The corset will put an end to her baby!
Coming out of her bedroom, Lily finds that the space on the second floor is so huge that one can't see
either end of the corridor.
She relaxes her weak feet and turns left along the corridor.
'Why all big shots with few children would like to live in such a gigantic house?'
Lily talks to herself while her gaze sweeps across the paintings on the wall. Apart from the resplendent
collections from the Renaissance, she also finds a dozen pieces of portraits.
She sees at first two little boys, one tall and the other short. In the paintings, they are either playing or
reading. Then she finds a blue-eyed boy with black hair drawn in the rest of paintings who becomes
better-looking as he grows up.
Lily recognizes that the boy with black hair and blue eyes is John, so she takes the other boy in the
paintings as Jonathan.
"Ms. Lily, are you interested in oil paintings?"
Opposite to Lily, Jonathan suddenly appears and interrupts her.
"No, not like that. I find these painters extremely talented." Lily glances at him and then turns to the
paintings again, "Every painting is fascinating."
Jonathan seems to snort as he walks towards Lily. His gaze is cold and hard, but he still maintains his
dignity.
He drawls, "Rumor has it that Mr. Smith went to the hotel to pick up his sister and shot you. After all,
she is your so-called sister-in-law. Aren't you worried about her? Shouldn’t you go back to comfort
her?"
"There’s just the two of us, you don't need to put on airs." Lily is calm, ignoring his provocation, "Mr.
Smith is there for her, I have nothing to worry about, not to mention. I don’t need to go back.
Furthermore, I have more important things to do."
"Like what?"
Lily looks at him, and her red lips curve up, "Your strong interest in games manages to arouse mine."
She is calm, completely different from that furious woman on the phone yesterday. 'She ignores, even
despises me!' this thought exasperates Jonathan.
His expression becomes a little ferocious, and he smashes her against the wall by grabbing her
shoulders.
"Don't you think you can make a change together with that little bastard?" Jonathan turns sinister as he
inches closer to her, "I've already set rules for this game. How to play this game, it's up to me!"
Suddenly, he feels on his neck a chill, even a tingling.
Lily raises her right fist. A thin needle from the ring on her ring finger is being held beside Jonathan's
neck and can pierce into his skin with a slight movement.
Lily looks up at him and warns, "Don't blame me for being impolite if you call him little bastard again!
You also know that your father favors John, and I am John's girlfriend. Imagine, you faint, I take you
into my room, take off your clothes, then we lie on the bed together. What comes next when your father
sees that?"
"Ms. Lily would like to sacrifice yourself for justice!" Jonathan presses her shoulder more heavily.
"Just a lesson from you." Lily smiles, "I'm stupid. I am no match for you, Mr. Seles. You plotted to steal Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
John's connections long ago."
After a pause, she continues, "But in our country, there is a saying, that is, every dog has its day; and
the game is not under your control now, as the rules have been changed."
Jonathan narrows his eyes and threatens, "Ms. Lily, don't you care about your family, your sister?"
Lily panics for a second and calms herself down quickly, "People won't fall at the same spot twice.
Since I dare to come to Country Y with John, I must have made good arrangement."
"Are you sure?"
"You can go ahead and give it a try," Lily says. The needle in the ring is still pressing against his neck.
"Lily!"
The corridor is covered up by a wool carpet, so there is no sound when one walks on it.
Hearing her name, Lily just realizes that John is here.
Seeing Jonathan pressing Lily against the wall, John quickly walks over to them with a long face.
At the sight of John, Jonathan releases Lily quickly. The next second, Lily is behind John, who is
staring at him coldly and defending.
"Your girlfriend, once the girlfriend of Mr. Smith, is amazing." Jonathan smiles and pats John on the
shoulder. "She is much better than those women who need training in a relationship."
John clenches his fists.
Lily dabs his hand with her eyes fixing on Jonathan's arrogant back, and whispers, "Don't be angry. He
just wants to infuriate you and make you lose your mind."
John turns around and scans her carefully, "Did you get injured?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing her pale face, John estimates that all food she ate should have been vomited out due to
pregnancy, so he intends to let chefs cook special dishes for her.
Lily refuses this proposal, afraid that it will attract Jonathan's attention.
She feels sleepy and goes back to rest after a short conversation with John. As time passes by, she is
awoken again.
John is sitting beside the bed. When she wakes up, he helps her up and hands over a bowl on the
bedside table, "I supposed you were in deep sleep and wouldn't hear the knocks on the door, so I came
in directly."
Lily rubs her eyes and sniffs the sour and spicy smell, now she feels hungry.
"Didn't I tell you not to go to the kitchen?"
"It's fine. I sent servants away and went to the kitchen to cook it by myself." John hands her a silver
fork. "No Chinese food here, so there are no chopsticks. Try this."
Lily takes the bowl and starts to eat. The food makes her stomach feel comfortable, "Jonathan won't
know it, will he?"
John shakes his head, "No, his room is at the other end of the corridor. He seldom comes out at night.
No worry. I'm sorry for asking you to come Country Y with me, then you have to suffer all these."
"I'm fine, don't keep apologizing." Lily feels perplexed about his regrets, "You saved me and my child.
Without you, my baby would have already been gone."
John says, "Have you taken pills?"
"No. I was too sleepy and fell into sleep immediately."
Figuring out where her pills are, John brings her another glass of water and pills, "Not many pills left. I'll
try to get some from the hospital later."
"Alright."
"Do you want to do an antenatal care to check if babies are healthy?"
Lily hesitates for a moment before shaking her head resolutely, "No, Jonathan has too many spies.
There is not much time for us to regain the qualification as a successor. I believe my babies will be
fine."
Hearing these words, John does not try to persuade her again.
After Lily takes the pills, he leaves her room with the bowl.
Perhaps because she is too tired and too sleepy, Lily no longer has nightmares as she did a few days
ago, and wakes up again the next day at noon.
