Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 

“Yes” Lexrence could no longer contain his curiosity. “Ms. Lynde, what exactly is Lily’s background?» 

Sarah gritted her teeth. “She’s just an insignificant nobody!” 

She wouldn’t expose Lily’s identity nor let anyone think she took Lily seriously. 

He didn’t believe her. If Lily was truly just an insignificant nobody, why would Terence and Sarah personally get involved? 

“What about the competition?” He hesitated. 

“Let it be for now. We’ll deal with it after the next round,” she snapped, ending the call with a sharp click. 

So, what exactly was going on between Terence and Lily? No wonder the Devereux Group suddenly sponsored the Avelon Designs Competition. 

Sarah had researched Lily and knew about her connection with Maryanne. But she didn’t believe that Terence would go so far for a friend of his sister’s. 

Sponsoring the Avelon Designs Competition wasn’t a small deal. There was a limit to helping 

After thinking it over, she called Lawrence back to ask for Terence’s contact information. She planned to meet with him. 

When Terence answered her call, he was initially surprised but politely declined her request for a meeting until she said, “I want to talk to you about Lily. 

“Ms. Lynde, I think you have the wrong person. I’m not close with Lily,” he replied, not directly agreeing to meet. 

Sarah asked, “Il you’re not close, why did you step in for her?” 

There was a long pause before his calm voice came through, “I just want to ensure the fairness of the competition. I hope you won’t disrupt the rules of the design field.” 

“What if I insist on breaking the rules?” She probed further, testing his limits. “Mr. Devereux, aren’t you worried about offending Nova Group over Lily?” 

Terence’s tone turned icy. “Rules are rules. Whether it’s you personally or Nova Group, I won’t stand idly by!” 

He hung up immediately after speaking. 

Just a few words of probing, and she felt like she had figured something out. 

She truly couldn’t understand what was so special about Lily. What made Terence like a woman who was not only powerless but had also been married before? 

Although Sarah’s background wasn’t high, she had been supported by the Fulton family since childhood, instilling a deep sense of pride in her. 

She knew the rules of the upper circles well, and Lily didn’t deserve Xavier, nor did she deserve Terence! 

woman, Sarah didn’t just want to break up Lily and Xavier; she also didn’t want Lily to have anything to do with 

Perhaps it was out of jealousy as a woma Ierence! 

Given the mess of the Joyner family, Lily being married to Xavier for two years was already a great blessing. How could she possibly belong in this circle? 

She made another call “Keep an eye on Lily’s every move. 

Lily’s cold lingered for three or four days. She went to the hospital for her daily IV drip in the afternoon and then went upstairs to help Hayden with his 

treatment. 

His condition had deteriorated further. He sat listlessly on the hospital bed, showing no reaction to anyone who came in.
