Chapter 890 Lily Plans to Target Hestia
Edward's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Lily warily, pulling Hestia into his arms.
"What's wrong with you?" Edward asked in a deep voice.
Lily covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Hestia. "Sorry, I was just joking. Edward and I did have some rumors going around for a while. I was afraid Hestia might misunderstand, so I came to explain."
Lily could clearly call out Hestia's name, which was a warning to Edward.
It showed that Lily had thoroughly investigated him.
Edward frowned. "There's no need for your hypocrisy here, Lily. You're crazy now."
Lily smiled. "Edward, what are you talking about? I've always been like this, doing whatever it takes to achieve my goals. Don't you know me?"
Hestia looked at Edward, then at Lily. She knew Lily, who was a senior in college.
She had also heard about Lily and the rumors about her and the heir of the Cunningham Group.
She just didn't expect it to be Edward.
"You should be my junior, right? If Edward hadn't been rumored with me and sent me back to school during that time, he wouldn't have met you. How lucky." Lily said through gritted teeth.
She was genuinely jealous of every woman who could find true love.
She really wanted to destroy them, to see them suffer as she did.
"Yes, you are my senior. We were in the same research group last year." Hestia answered seriously.
Lily smiled, what a naive girl. "I remember you."
Edward looked at Lily warningly and pulled Hestia into his arms. "Don't pay attention to her. She's just a lunatic."
"Don't you want to know the story between Edward and me? He probably hasn't told you, right?" Lily said deliberately.
Hestia looked at Edward, then at Lily. "I do want to know, but I don't want to hear it from you. Edward is my husband, I want to hear it from him."
Lily raised an eyebrow and smiled, thinking Hestia had quite a temper.Another lucky girl.
She really wanted to destroy her.
Edward seemed to see through Lily's thoughts and warned her with a dark look. "Lily, if you dare to harm my wife, consider the consequences."
Lily smiled and dismissed the thought. "Edward, I'm not that bored."
"What are you here for? Get out." Jasmine and Ethan returned, Jasmine carrying fruits and snacks. As soon as they entered the ward, they saw Lily.
Jasmine pointed outside the door, telling Lily to get out.
Lily smiled. "Jasmine, you're getting better at cursing. The depression from being switched at birth, bullied, and sent to prison seems to be gone. It's incredible the healing power of love."
Lily looked at Jasmine with jealousy and spoke again. "Since you're all here, I'll leave first. I just came to see Edward. After all, the incident happened in Kerea, and I was afraid you'd overthink. This really has nothing to do with me. I'm just a woman, and in the Powell family, I don't have a say."
Lily was telling Jasmine that it was other people in the Powell family who targeted Edward.
She was still expertly manipulating people, using them as proxies and deflecting responsibility.
"Get out." Jasmine said again.
Lily shrugged and left directly, not forgetting to glance at Hestia before leaving, smiling as she walked out.
Hestia's clenched fingers slowly relaxed, and she lowered her head. "Mr. Douglas."
"Hestia, don't be so formal." Ethan felt embarrassed for Edward, and it made him feel embarrassed too. "This matter has little to do with me and my wife. If you want to blame someone, blame Edward. It was his bad idea, afraid you'd run away if you knew his true identity."
Ethan shirked responsibility cleanly.
Jasmine wanted to speak for Edward, but in this matter, Edward was indeed in the wrong. "Edward, you were wrong. How could you lie?"
Edward lowered his head and cautiously glanced at Hestia.
But Hestia didn't ask anything else, just one question. "How did you get into a car accident?"
"Lily is the president of the Powell Corporation. The Powell family and the Cunningham Group have a project conflict. They used some tricks to lure me over and wanted to get rid of me because they feared me." Edward explained softly, in simple terms.
Hestia was surprised. "She's actually the president of the Powell Corporation, that's impressive."
Edward brushed his forehead. "Honey, are you serious? She wants to kill me."
"Did you keep any evidence?" Hestia asked.
Edward shook his head. "The person who hit me was caught by the police, but this is Kerea."
"The laws of both countries have many common points. Even if we can't trace it back to her, we can put pressure on their police. Wait for me to handle it." Hestia took out a notebook and pen to jot down some notes.
Hestia, working seriously, had quite an aura.
After finishing, Hestia asked again. "What was your relationship with Lily? I heard rumors about you two at school."
"I'll explain it!" Jasmine quickly raised her hand. "Here's the thing, our biological father is a scumbag. He had an affair and kept a mistress outside. The mistress was bad and used Lily to get close to the Cunningham family to do bad things. We played along and sent Edward as bait because he was the smartest in our family."
Hestia was stunned for a moment and looked back at Edward.
Edward looked cautious. "Absolutely nothing inappropriate."
"If Lily deliberately tried to harm you, then she's involved in illegal activities. We can try to gather evidence. In the upcoming project, I'll keep an eye on the Powell Corporation. If they try to use illegal means in Silverlight City, I can report them directly. This way, it will be difficult for them to occupy the Silverlight City market." Hestia said angrily.
Although she was angry that Edward lied to her, he was her husband, and they wanted to kill him.
Edward was stunned for a moment, feeling like he had found a treasure.
"You are right." Ethan and Jasmine said in unison.
Hestia scratched her head awkwardly. "You can just call me Hestia. I haven't decided whether to continue with Edward..."
"Honey..." Edward was scared.
Hestia looked at Edward. "I don't care about your identity, but you lied to me, so I still want to think about our relationship."
Edward lowered his head and lay back on the bed, his face pale. "I should have known, better to be hit and killed."
"How can you say that!" Hestia said angrily.
"But you don't want me anymore." Edward covered his head with the blanket.
Hestia was both angry and anxious.
Who lied first?
Jasmine and Ethan exchanged a glance and quietly left.
At night, Hestia went outside the hospital to get some fresh air. As soon as she sat down, she saw Lily.
She probably came specifically for Hestia.
"Hestia, let's talk." Lily sat next to her.
"Lily, what's the matter?" Hestia asked.
"The Cunningham family isn't as good as you think. Edward doesn't trust you, which is why he hid his identity from you." Lily looked at Hestia. "Girls like us without family background still have to rely on ourselves."
"You're just an ordinary person. Are you sure you want to get involved in our disputes?" Lily asked again.
