Avenger's coming back

Chapter 24 Truth

When Becky saw them after school, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect them to stay together under such a serious situation of the rumor at school.

Then she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were in the car, otherwise the situation would be worse if others saw it.

"Get in the car." Seeing Becky hadn't got on the car yet, Eric urged her impatiently.

"Ah! Lily!" As soon as she got into the car, she screamed. She couldn't believe what she had seen. "Why is your face so swollen? Who hit you? I will fight with him!"

"Hush." Lily stopped her at once. "All the people outside have heard your voice."

Eric took a look at them from the rearview mirror and then started the car and left.

"Does it hurt?" Becky looked at Lily with a sad face. She stretched out her hand to touch Lily's wound, but she was afraid of hurting her.

"Do you want to have a try?" Lily joked.

Becky glanced at her in blame, "It's so swollen, but you still joke with me. Did your father beat you again?"

"Who else expected him?" Lily sneered. "The dean has invited all our parents."

"Fuck! How vicious he is." Becky couldn't help cursing, "What a bastard he is! How could he hit his daughter?"

Eric looked at Becky in the rearview mirror in surprise. Although she was bluffing, he could saw that she really liked Lily.

When they arrived at home, the first thing Becky did was to take out an ice bag to help Lily's face reduce the swelling, and then she took out the medicine box from her house.

Since it was noon and Alice hadn't come back yet, Becky handed the medicine box to Eric and said, "Please help Lily to apply the medicine. I'm going to prepare the lunch. The dishes are ready and I'll cook it when my mom comes back."

"Okay." Eric replied and watched her into the kitchen.

Lily put the ice pack on her face and sighed, "In fact, I don't want to trouble Becky, but except for her, I can't find anyone to help me."

"Yes." Eric replied coldly. He opened the medicine box and looked at the medicine inside. "You have me too. If you need any help in the future, you can call me."

Hearing that, Lily's heart beaten faster. She was wearing an ice bag on her face, but her face became hot. And she would have turned her head to avoid looking at him.

She didn't know whether Alice was very busy today. Until Eric put medicine on Lily's wounds and Becky washed all the vegetables, Alice still didn't come back.

Afraid that they were starving, Becky called Alice. However, it was her secretary who answered the phone.

"I see. Thank you." Becky hung up the phone unhappily, looked up at Lily and Eric and said, "It seems that we have to eat take out. My mother is still busy. Maybe she is in a meeting."

"I'll go out and buy it." When Eric was about to stand up to go out, he was stopped by Lily. "Don't go, I'll cook."

"No way!" Becky and Eric said in unison, and they looked at each other.

"You are injured. It is inconvenient." They said this at the same time.

"Well, since when you two have reached such a secret agreement?" Lily joked as she stood up and walked toward the kitchen. "It's my face, not my hands. Besides, take out is not clean after all."

"Let me help you." Becky followed her immediately.

The dishes in the kitchen were all washed clean. However, since Becky couldn't cut vegetables, the meat was only unfreezed chicken, and green pepper and other ingredients on the chopping block.

Lily soused the chicken quickly, cut the side dishes and started cooking.

Instead of going into the kitchen, Eric leaned against the door frame and looked at what was going on inside. Lily was so strong and tough that nobody could bear to see.

After a while, he turned around and walked to the balcony. He took out his phone and made a call. A moment later, the phone was connected.

"Hey, Sherry, help me find out one thing..." Eric's voice sounded mature that was inconsistent with his age, "Well, tell me after you find it out."

Just as Lily was about to put all the dishes on the table, Alice came back. She walked in the hallway, put on her slippers and looked up at the room. "Wow, they smell so good Hey, it's Lily. I wondered why there is a smell of food at home before I come back."

"Aunt." Lily called her with a smile, but she lowered her voice because she didn't want the wounds on her face to be affected.

"Ah, why is your face swollen again?" Alice was shocked.

"It's her father! Mom, why do you come back so late?" When Becky walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice in her hands, she complained, "Lily was cooking with wounds."

"Damn it! Did he hit you again?" Alice said rudely.

"Yes." Lily nodded awkwardly. At the same time, she saw another side of Alice. She never thought that the elegantly and graceful designer could be so rude.

When Eric came out of the kitchen with chopsticks, he was shocked to hear the word. He couldn't help but glance at Alice and then at Becky. The two women both like to use foul language.

When Alice realized that there was someone else in the room, she smiled unnaturally and then changed the topic. "I held a meeting in the company today and got everything done. Tomorrow I will go to Paris to see the fashion week there."

"What?" Becky said unhappily, "Then I will be alone at home."

"This is my dream. You have to support me no matter how upset you are!"

"Of course I support you, but I don't want..." With that, Becky's eyes suddenly lit up. "Lily, come here. I don't want to see you upset with your family."

"That's good. I will call Lucia and tell her that I am sure she will agree." Alice made a call.

Before Lily could say anything, they two had already made a decision for her. In addition, Alice hung up the phone with a smile on her face, "Lucia agreed. As long as she agreed, your father would not say anything."

In fact, Lily didn't want to go back either, not to escape, but because the people from that family were really disgusting.

For some reason, Lily took a look at Eric, as if she was asking for his opinion, or as if he was just taking a normal look at him.

"I also think it's better for you to live here for a few days." Said Eric.

As soon as he said this, Lily felt her face hot. She didn't know why, but her face was always hot today. Maybe because she had been beaten.

In the following two days, Lily directly asked for leave and did not go to school. It was really hard for her to see people with a red and swollen face.

Originally, Becky wanted to ask for a leave and stay with her at home, but Lily refused her. She didn't want her to skip her classes because of her. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the afternoon, Eric came with a people who took a laptop.

When Lily opened the door and saw Eric and the people behind him, she was confused. But she still turned her body to let them in and said, "Come in."

After entering the house, Eric introduced Sherry Ran to Lily, "This is Sherry Ran. You can call her Sherry."

Lily nodded to Sherry, "Hello, I'm Lily."

"I know." Looking around with a smile, she nodded and said, "It's so sweet. No wonder our boss insists on coming here."

"Uh, this is my friend's house." Lily explained unnaturally.

"Well, this is not your home." A tinge of disappointment flashed across her face. "I liked the decoration here very much..."

"Sherry." Eric called her lightly, and the tone was slightly invisible, "It's time to get down to business."

"Oh, I know, I know, can't I take one more look?" Although she said so, she still sat on the sofa and turned on the computer.

Lily looked at them in confusion, especially this woman, Sherry. From her name and voice, she thought that she was a girl, but her hair was so short, and she was dressed like a boy. It was difficult to tell if she was a boy or not.

"Come here." Eric said to Lily, who was standing there in a daze.

After she came to her senses, she walked to the side of Eric, but was dragged to sit between him and Sherry, which made her a little embarrassed.

"Here is the Internet bar," As soon as Sherry played a video, she said in a serious tone, "According to our investigation, the public opinion about you two was spread from a computer in this Internet bar. I also copied the video of this Internet bar from that computer, you see... Your school website is open to the outside world. That's why they choose the Internet to send rumor. It's easy to find out in the school."

The people in the video were not very clear, so they couldn't even see the face of the person in the video. However, just from one side, they could recognize at a glance. They were York and Sheena.

"It was them." Lily was a little surprised, but she calmed down when she thought about the bad pictures they had taken.

Eric did not speak, just watching the video with his brows furrowed.

"I didn't expect you to have enemies at such a young age." Said Sherry in a mature tone.

After taking a glance at her, Lily smiled and said, "You look younger than me, don't you?"

"Who said that? I'll be fifteen a few months later!" She emphasized.

"Okay." Lily nodded and said with a smile, "You are younger than me."

"Humph! You even can't find out the truth about such a simple thing. How dare you say that you are older than me?" Sherry gave her a disdainful look.

Lily's eyes were wide open with anger. Strictly speaking, she was twenty four. She didn't expect that she was looked down upon this little girl in front of her!

"Okay." Eric interrupted them, turned to Lily and asked, "What are you going to do with them?"

"Well Let me see." She began to think about it.

Govern him by his own way? It didn't seem to work. Hit them? It seemed that a bit too violent, and asked them to apologize in front of the whole school? Well, this seemed to be the only way that worked.

"Don't think about it. I have already thought about what to do with it." Seeing that she was so entangled, Eric said.

"You are a little silly." Then Sherry added.

"What?" Eric turned to her with displeasure.

"Uh, I'm joking. Don't take it seriously." She said with a sweet smile on her face.
