Chapter 989 -992: Lily gets tough, slapping back at the old lady (2)
“Auntie…there really is a Redington character.”
The old woman, disbelieving, snatched the item to take a look, and Milly Gray also leaned in.
Bathed in the light from the crystal chandelier overhead, they indeed saw that behind the large sapphire, the character ‘Redington’ was engraved.
Suddenly consumed with jealousy, Milly thought this woman was even more fearsome than Lily Gray.
That this jewelry could actually belong to her, how could it be possible by her alone!?
In the meantime, Emily Taylor was thinking more deeply than the others.
She knew the true identity of Lily, Lily Gray, Lily Redington…Lily Redington, David Redington…
A realization struck her, and with some disbelief, she turned to look at Lily Gray.
Could it be that she and David Redington, they…!
However, at that moment, no one cared about this.
With all the truths laid bare, Lily was busy delivering blow after blow.
“Grandmother, did you see it clearly? If you can’t, I can have someone bring you a magnifying glass.”
“You…who knows if the engraving was done later by someone at your behest. You child, full of lies, I find your words utterly untrustworthy.”
“Tsk, old woman, as I said before, it’s very easy to tell whether these engravings are new or old. If you still don’t believe it, we can always have an expert verify it. However… if it turns out to be true, it would prove that some people are shallow-minded and prone to nonsense. Then the one embarrassed wouldn’t be me.”
Lily spoke with a light and dismissive tone, filled with disdain for the ignorance of some.
The old woman immediately became enraged, slamming the table as she stood up.
“You little girl, so sharp-tongued… that’s not at all what I meant! And as for the Redington family, I’ve never even heard of them. How could someone of your background be connected to European royalty? Hmph, it wouldn’t surprise me if all of this is just nonsense from you! Who knows, maybe even the jewelry is fake!”
“Whether it’s fake is even simpler to determine, just get someone to check it. How about this, let’s get a jewelry expert to appraise it. Let’s see if these pieces are genuinely what they appear to be, their significance, and also determine the age of the engravings. Grandmother, if you’re reluctant to spend the money, I can cover the appraisal costs.”
Lily arched an eyebrow indifferently, her tone dripping with scorn: “Either way, today’s incident must be clarified. I eagerly await to see who will end up being humiliated!”
“You…you…you little brat, how can you be so cruel! This is Emily’s birthday banquet, are you deliberately causing trouble? I am, after all, your elder. How were you raised at home, to speak to your elders with that tone?!”
The old woman felt somewhat guilty and dared not actually call an expert to appraise, so she could only redden with anger, attempting to assert her seniority.
Lily came today only to curry favor with Emily Taylor by giving her a present.
That didn’t mean she was going to silently accept a scolding from this old woman she had never met before.
Moreover, Lily noticed that from the time she and the old woman started arguing, Emily Taylor hadn’t said a word to help.
It was normal for her not to support Lily.
But her lack of support for the old woman implied…
“Heh, I needn’t trouble you to concern yourself with the upbringing I received from my family. If you truly want to know, no problem, I’ll have my father visit someday to listen to your lessons. Just a warning though… don’t be scared, but I doubt you would be able to handle it.”
“What can’t I handle, I…”
The old woman hadn’t finished speaking when she was coldly interrupted by Lily with a sneer.
“Also, if you’ll forgive my frankness… You said earlier that I was being cruel, causing a disturbance at my aunt’s birthday party. But to me, it seems like the truly cruel one is you.”
