It felt terrible. It felt as if stepping out as Xavier's wife in public was a reward from Xavier. It was just a casual

remark when Lilly asked if he was jealous.

but his response felt like a knife that cut right into her heart, and it made her feel incredibly sloward. Her face

reddened and paled, then she turned green as her emotions rolled within her.

Xavier seemned unsatisfied. He enjoyed the sense of control over her. He took a card out of his pocket and

handed it to Lily.

"I'm not happy with Mrs, Fulton's performance tonight, so the allowance will be halved."

"You - "Lily's throat tightened, and tears almost formed in her eyes, but she forced them back.

"If you're not happy, then resign. Cback and be my obedient wife," Xavier sald very seriously as he placed

the card in her palm.

For sreason, he genuinely wanted her to return to the old days. He wanted the docile and obedient wife

from back then, and not the one now who made him feel uncomfortable at every turn. He didn't think he was

being unreasonable when he saw her on the verge of crying

After all, returning to being his wife was something she should be able to do easily. As long as she was obedient,

he would eventually give her a proper

But Lily refused to listen to him, and she did all sorts of little stunts to be formally recognized. She had no one to

blbut herself.

Lily didn't know how she put the card in her pocket. She had to accept his charity with swallowed pride.

"I can't send you home. | need to go to the hospital to see Hayden," Lily said as she reached into her pockets for

the car key, ready to get into the car. Suddenly, her hand was empty.

Xavier hooked the keyring with his fingertip and got into the car first. "I'll take you there."

He sat in the driver's seat and started the engine. He then gestured for her to get in.

Lily didn't mean to leave him behind. At this time, the doctors were still on duty, and she wanted to go pay so

she wouldn't have to take another day off the next day.

But when she thought about it, it would have been wishful thinking to have Xavier take a cab. She walked around

the front of the car, climbed into the passenger seat, bucked her seatbelt, and let him drive.

At 5:00pm, she arrived at the hospital just as the working hours were ending

Lily unbuckled her seatbelt and rushed inside, hoping to get in before Xander left. She had wanted to ask him

about Hayden's condition.

- didn't have tto say anything to Xavier, but she didn't need to guess that he wouldn't wait for her. Lily

hurried into the hospital and didn't notice that Xavier had parked the car by the roadside.

At the comer of the hospital, Sarah walked out from behind a pillar, wearing a black mask. Her expression

darkened when she saw Xavier waiting for Lily in the parked car.

"Is it really true when you say that the murderer is in this hospital?" Jasmine gripped the railing with both hands

and looked up at the hospital building.

Sarah snapped out of her thoughts, and she turned to Jasmine. She said with certainty, "Of course. He's on that

floor, enjoying the best treatment the hospital can offer. Their family is so rich, yet they only gave you 100

thousand dollars. "They made you lose out on the Insurance payout, and both your husband and son are in jail.

Are you okay with this?

"Of course, I'm not okay with this!" Jasmine absolutely did not appreciate the 100 thousand dollars Lily had

compensated.

"If everything had gone according to her plan, she would have received over a million dollars from the Joyner

family's compensation and the insurance peryout combined.

Jasmine examined Sarah, who was in disguise, with caution. She had to keep her guard up around people she

didn't know at all, especially someone who was deliberately concealing their identity. "Who are you? Why are you

tellingall this?"

Saral glanced at her for a moment and pulled out a thick stack of money from her bag. "There's so thousand

dollars here. Go and demand money from the murderer. I'll give you another 50 thousand once you're done."

Jasmine's eyes lit up. Demanding money from Hayden was all gain with no downside, and she could earn another

100 thousand dollars. It was a huge prodit.

Jasmine immediately grabbed the money and hugged it to her chest. But she soon becsuspicious and

asked, "This is real, right?"

Sarah looked at Jasmine with a hint of disgust. "You can get It verified if you don't trust me. Don't act tonight. You

should wait for another opportunity."

To guarantee a successful outcome, it had to be done when Lily wasn't around. Sarah wanted to see if Xavier

would still keep Rowan in the country if something happened to Hayden

Sarah also wanted to see if Lily was still determined to fight with her for Xavier.
