Chapter 188 "Go ahead." John glanced at Lily and hesitated for a moment, but he didn't reject her request.

She was the one that brought Class 18 to the top. He didn't have a reason not to let her take the call. That was a privilege she rightfully deserved.

Lily went to the washroom. She turned on a voice changer before she took the call. "Speak." "The Weiss family will be auctioning the Crimson Leaf on Saturday. When are you coming to Bridgeport? I'll go get you." Elliot's voice was a little cold.

Lily frowned. "Why so sudden?" Saturday? That was in two more days.

"This is the latest information. A while ago, someone went to the Weiss Residence and tried to take the Crimson Leaf from them. They didn't want to hold on to it anymore, so they decided to auction it off." "Understood. I'll head to Bridgeport tomorrow." Lily hung up and went to the principal's office.

"Mr. Woodley." Lily walked into the office and greeted Joseph politely.

Joseph got up frantically and said, "Come. Take a seat." Lily nodded and sat down across from Joseph.

"Why have you ctoat this hour? Is something wrong?" Joseph asked gently as he poured out a glass of water for Lily.

Lily had been a student of Ember Creek High School for over two months. Before that, she had only cto the principal's office once, which was during the first day of school.

"I want to take a few days off school," Lily said slowly.

"You only need to speak to your homeroom teacher about it. There's no need to talk toabout that, right?" Joseph asked in confusion.

"There's another thing I want to talk about." Lily pursed her lips in hesitation.

Joseph looked at her and said, "Just tellif you need anything. I'll help you however I can.” Lily had never asked him for any favors before. It was probably something quite tricky for her to cto him and ask.

Lily lowered her head in thought for a moment. Then, she said, "You've mentioned before that the head of the Weiss family owes you a favor, right?" "That's right." Joseph nodded. "That's something that happened over a decade ago. Why are you bringing it up now?" "The Weiss family is having an auction for the Crimson Leaf tomorrow. Can you please call in the favor and ask them what the starting bid for the Crimson Leaf is?" Joseph's expression turned solemn. "You're taking toff from school to participate in the auction in Bridgeport?" "Yeah." Lily nodded.

"Lily, I can help you with anything else, but I can't do anything for you when it comes to this." Joseph fell silent for a while before adding, "This is the only Crimson Leaf in the world. It's not only those people in Bridgeport that are after it. Even people from the Hidden Families have their eyes on it." After another pause, he said, "I can tell you right now that even if the Weiss family tells you the starting bid right now, the final price will still be way higher, you know?" Lily frowned as she tapped her fingers on the table. "So you mean this incident is linked to the Hidden Families?" "That's right. The public only knows that the Weiss family is trying to auction off the Crimson Leaf because they're having cash flow issues.

"What they don't know is that the Hidden Families have been interested in the Crimson Leaf for quite stime. They basically strong-armed the Weiss family into auctioning the Crimson Leaf." Joseph took a sip and said with a grim expression, “The Weiss family wants everything to be handled publicly. That way, the Hidden Families will vie for the Crimson Leaf among themselves.

"So, it's not that I don't want to help you. I can't. This matter isn't just about the Weiss family swath the (ind) vel.n't website on Gøøgl to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Joseph stood up and patted Lily on the shoulder. "You may not know this yet, but the Four Great Families are in turmoil right now." Hidden Families.

They are also not under the control of the

"So, the hidden families want to help bring less prominent families into power. Things are very messin Bridgeport. You shouldn't go if you don't need to go." Lily stayed silent for a bit before saying, "I understand. Thanks, Mr. Woodley." Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich. women will persue you.
