Chapter 1110
Now that things had come to this point, she had to say the words she had kept in her heart.
"Enough, there's no need to save my face. That's not a coincidence. Right now, I want to know if that
secret handbook is still in your hands?"
Ralph said Alexander set a trap for him and that the secret handbook was fake. However, why didn't he
catch the net since it was a trap? He let him steal the fake one and just ignored it? Could he have some
other surprises prepared?
"Grandma, I honestly don't know much about the secret handbook. Why don't you wait for Alexander to
come back and ask him yourself?"
Margaret was frank and straightforward with her words, but what should Lily reply? Would Margaret
believe it if she told the truth?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas she here to check on the situation for Ralph or something else? Lily had to maintain a vigilant
attitude toward her. She would not be too harsh to Margaret but could not completely trust her. After all,
she had been partial to her son but very strict toward her grandson for many years.
"Fine, I won't ask anymore if you don't want to talk about it! What happened before was my fault. As for
your marriage, I know I can't interfere, and I don't want to interfere anymore. It's fine as long as you are
happy. I'm old and can no longer care so much!" She patted the back of her hand lightly.
Margaret suddenly looked much older. Although she was old, she seemed very strong and healthy
before this because of her proper maintenance and positive energy. However, for some reason, Lily felt
that she looked exhausted from the inside out when she saw her today.
"What's wrong with you, Grandma?" Lily asked hesitantly. She had the feeling that Margaret had
something she wanted to say.
"I’m fine! It's getting late. I should go back!" Margaret smiled and glanced at the clock on the wall.
"So fast?" This was quite sudden. She had barely said a few words.
Margaret nodded. "I said what I wanted to say. It’s time to leave! Oh, right, can you... go to the family
gathering on Saturday?"
"Me?" Lily knew of the gathering, but Alexander never let her attend such occasions.
He had no other meaning but didn't want her to be involved in these complicated things. His protection
of her was really all-rounded.
"I'd be happy if you could come. But it's okay if you can't..."
Margaret was very tolerant and kind today. She was different from the person she knew before. Lily
almost thought she was an imposter but knew she was Margaret herself.
"Okay, I'll think about it." She didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either.
Margaret gave her a deep look before she smiled and left. Lily was left in deep thought as she watched
her go.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander was worried and hurried back. When he opened the door, he saw Lily lying on the sofa alone
with her eyes half-closed.
His heart tightened as he was unsure if she was asleep or fainted, and he quickly walked toward her.
"Lily, Lily! Are you okay?"
"Huh? You're back?" She felt sleepy and decided to take a short nap but unexpectedly fell asleep.
Alexander's call woke her up.
"What did Grandma say? Don't take it to heart!"
Lily didn't know if she should laugh or cry and glared at him. "Am I such a weak person?"
"Grandma left?" When he returned, he did not see her car and guessed that she must have left.
However, he did not know Margaret's intention for making this visit.
"Yes!" Lily nodded her head. She roughly told him what happened with Margaret and could not help
asking, "What exactly does she mean by saying these?"
