Chapter 888 Lily Is Crazy
Hestia hummed. "Yes, the last name is Cunningham."
"Hey Hestia, you know that the president of the Cunningham Group is named Nolan, right?" Marlon took a deep breath.
"Yes, it was mentioned during the onboarding training." Hestia was a bit confused as to why he was asking.
"The Cunningham family has three heirs who can all manage the company, but major decision-making power lies with Mr. Nolan Cunningham." Marlon coughed. "The three heirs are named Nolan, Edward, and Edgar."
Hestia was silent. She didn't react for a long time.
"Edward is one of the heirs of the Cunningham Group?" Hestia asked again.
"Yes." Marlon took a deep breath.
"If it's Mr. Edward Cunningham, we only know that he's on a business trip. With my abilities, I can't find out his itinerary." Marlon apologized.
"Thank you, Marlon. Maybe I remembered the name wrong?" Hestia thanked him, hung up the phone, and ran to the bedroom to find their marriage certificate. She looked at it carefully; it was indeed Edward.
She recalled that Edward could take her to The Velvet Orchid Dining and knew Ethan and Jasmine.
Jasmine even added her on Facebook, and Ethan was so polite.
Hestia took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and after thinking for a long time, sent a message to Ethan: [Mr. Douglas, hello, do you know my husband Edward?]
Ethan quickly replied, with a strong sense of self-preservation: [I know him, but not very well. What's up?]
Hestia took a deep breath: [Is he an heir of the Cunningham Group?"]
There was silence on the other end, no reply for a long time, but the typing indicator was on: [Yes, he is, but I think you two should have a good talk.]
These few minutes made Ethan feel a lot of pressure.
Hestia was silent for a long time before asking: [Do you know his flight today? I can't reach him, and I'm a bit worried.]
Her fingers were trembling, feeling like she had been played.
But Edward had married her.
Why would he lie?
Did he think she was easy to bully? Or was he afraid she would take advantage of his wealth?
Her fingers trembled, and Hestia wiped away her tears, not knowing why she was crying.
Ethan quickly replied: [Don't worry, I'll help you contact him.]
[Thank you.]
Putting down her phone, Hestia sat on the sofa, feeling like she had lost her soul.
Ethan soon called back.
"Hestia, Edward is in trouble." Ethan called her "Hestia" with some guilt.
Hestia tensed up and stood up abruptly. "In... trouble?"
"The Cunningham Group is currently in the spotlight. The Powell family and the Cunningham Group's cooperation had issues, and Edward went to Kerea, where he encountered some trouble. He's not in life-threatening danger, so don't worry. My wife and I will go there tomorrow." Ethan tried to reassure Hestia.
But how could Hestia not worry?
"Can... can I go with you?" She asked worriedly.
"Yes." Ethan agreed.
Anyway, Edward's identity was exposed.
Whether he lived or died was his own responsibility.
Kerea.
Lily targeted Edward through the Powell family, intending to severely damage the Cunningham family by losing Edward and Nolan, leaving only Edgar, whom they thought was easier to control, and then gradually devour the Cunningham family.
It was clear that Lily was now dealing with the Cunningham family.
Her ambition knows no bounds. Now, at this height, she's backed into a corner, a prisoner of her own success, forced to meticulously plan her way forward.
"Hestia, don't worry. Edward was in a hurry to come home to you and narrowly escaped." Jasmine softly comforted Hestia.
Hestia felt like she was dreaming. Her husband suddenly became the president of the Cunningham Group, which was a bit hard to adjust to.
Jasmine took Hestia to the hospital first. Edward was already awake and eager to call Hestia, but she didn't answer.
Edward, worried about Hestia, called his assistant.
The assistant went to the legal department and found out that Hestia had taken leave.
Edward became even more worried.
Just as he was about to get out of bed and leave, Ethan and Jasmine came in, followed by Hestia.
At that moment, Edward knew he was in trouble.
"Edward, rest well and explain everything to Hestia." Jasmine gave Edward a look that said "good luck" and patted his shoulder before leaving with Ethan.
The Powell Mansion.
Lily came back from the company with a severe headache. Her two kids were still noisy, making her headache worse.
"Take them out. I need some peace." Lily leaned on the sofa and instructed the nanny to take the kids away.
The nanny quickly took the kids away, and the butler ran in. "Mrs. Powell, your friends are here. It's Mr. Douglas and his wife."
Lily's expression changed, knowing exactly why Jasmine was here.
Those useless people even couldn't get rid of Edward in Kerea.
Lily feared Edward the most, not Nolan. She had previously worked with Edward to deal with Sophia when helping Jasmine, and she knew Edward's intelligence and capability. That was why she first collaborated with Rhett to try to eliminate Edward. Unexpectedly, Edward didn't follow the planned itinerary, catching them off guard.
Frowning, Lily knew she and Jasmine could never be friends again. She made up her mind and decided to go all out. "Let them in and prepare a meal."
Ethan and Jasmine entered, and Lily greeted them with a smile. "Jasmine, long time no see."
Indeed, it had been a long time.
Jasmine didn't speak and slapped Lily.
"Jasmine, you..." Lily looked shocked.
"Stop pretending!" Jasmine asked Lily.
Lily smiled, knowing it would be foolish to fall out. "Jasmine, I don't know what you're talking about. Since you're here, why not have a meal before you go?"
Jasmine sneered. "Lily, you're walking down a path of no return."
Lily stood up straight and looked at Jasmine indifferently. "A good background makes all the difference. Now you speak with such confidence—a stark contrast to when you were falsely accused as a fake heiress and thrown into prison."
"Yes, having a good background makes me confident. Do you want to compete with me?" Jasmine raised her hand to stop Ethan and smiled. "If I mess up, my husband, my mom, and my brothers will back me up. What about you?"
Lily was clearly provoked. She was now insanely jealous of Jasmine.
Clenching her fists, Lily smiled. "Mr. Douglas really loves your wife. I hope you two stay this loving forever."
Ethan looked at Lily coldly. "You don't need to worry about our relationship. If you dare to have any bad thoughts, you'll regret."
Lily couldn't smile anymore. She had to be wary of Ethan's threat, but she had no way out now.
If she wanted to gradually dismantle the Cunningham family, she couldn't let Jasmine go either.
