Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658

Lily knew who Jonathan meant by ‘outsider’ as he had always viewed Alexander as one.

"What I want to announce today is very important to the Lodge family," Jonathan started.

Though he was not loud, he made sure everyone in the hall could hear him clearly, "Our family has more than a hundred years of history in Sapphine city.

We have always done our part and respected the family's rules.

"However, we did not expect my dear brother, Wilfred, to leave us so suddenly.His sudden passing is a great loss to our family, and we're all very sad about it.Unfortunately, this was no mere accident.It was, in fact, a planned murder!"

He looked at Lily as he finished his sentence.It was as if he was implying that she was the murderer.

Since Jonathan was so crude with his statement, Lily did not shy away.She stood up and said, "Granduncle, I think you’re wrong."

"Oh?"

Jonathan smirked coldly, "Do tell me what I said was wrong?"

"You’re wrong about two things.Firstly, you said everyone is here, but obviously, that’s not true.Justin is my grandfather’s oldest grandson, the most important person here, but he hasn’t arrived.How could you start without him?"

Jonathan smiled calmly in the face of her accusations, "Justin is indeed the oldest grandchild of the family, but Henry is your uncle.As your grandfather’s son, don’t you think he should be in charge, not Justin?"

"This is the second thing you’re wrong about,"

Lily paused before continuing, "You said everyone here today is from our family, and there are no outsiders, but the last I checked, he’s not a Lodge anymore."

"What?"

The others in the room looked at her in bewilderment.

They turned to each other as if trying to figure out who the stranger could be.

"Now, I’m confused.Since I have been a part of the Lodge family for so long, I’m familiar with every member, from the most senior to the youngest.Tell me, who isn’t a Lodge here?"

Lily pointed her finger at Henry while stressing the word ‘banished.

Naturally, when everyone heard the term, most gasped in surprise.Some were unaware of this and those who knew about the incident did not expect her to bring it up.

Everyone in the family knew that Henry was Wilfred’s beloved youngest son.

No one knew exactly why he had left the family many years ago and where he was all those years.

However, for some reason, he came back at this time.

They could understand why he chose to return now, but what would have caused Wilfred to banish his youngest son from the family?

"Lily, stop your nonsense.You’re just trying to draw attention away from what you’ve done! Whether I was banished from the family or not has nothing to do with you.What gives you the right to question me? Besides, this has nothing to do with what we’re meeting about today!"

Henry was flustered as he tried to argue his way out.
