Chapter 225 - Lance's Doom

It is almost midnight, and they were now driving back to Lotus City when J asked, "Can we drop by Lily's apartment?"

Jacob was surprised. "Lily? Why? Is she in trouble?"

"No. I've been calling her to ask her if she is free tomorrow so we can talk about the thing that she wanted to talk with me but she is not answering her phone."

"Hmm... Knowing her, it's either she is already asleep or she is at Rendezvous. Don't worry yourself too much about her. She's a grown-up now and she is quite responsible." Jacob smiled. He was moved seeing how concern his wife is towards his sister.

But J felt uncomfortable. "Is it far from Evergreen or out of way?"

"No." Actually, Lily's apartment is just a few blocks away from Evergreen Villa.

"Then let's drop by." J's tone was firm and she doesn't seem like she would accept a no for an answer.

Jacob chuckled. It is true that girls were sometimes quite unreasonable. "Okay then. You're the boss." Then he reached out to pinch J's cheeks. He received a dark look from J after that.

When they reached Lily's building, the guard seemed to recognized Jacob and let them in the basement parking. Knowing that most of the residents that reside in the building were a celebrity, the management was quite strict when it comes to visitors. They would never let anyone without the resident's permit. Jacob owned a unit there so the guard let him in.

As soon as they reached Lily's apartment, they were dumbstruck at what they saw.

...

It has been almost two hours that Lily was asleep and she is now starting to get her consciousness. One of her arms is circled around a man's shoulder while her whole body is leaning towards that person's body. His hand is holding her hand that is rested on his shoulder while his other arm is wrapped around her waist to support her body from falling. And she can hear a familiar voice talks to her.

"Hey, Miss Lily, where is your keycard? Quickly get it and open the door to your apartment." Lance is becoming agitated.

Lily came to her senses when he realized who is holding her. "You... "

They heard someone cleared its throat from behind. Lance turned and was surprised.

"Miss J! Ah... Dr. Jacob." his surprise turned into confusion. "What are you doing here?"

Lily who heard Lance mentioned a familiar name looked at them and felt like a bucket of ice was spilled all over her body. She lowered her head and avoided the dark gaze from the man in front of them. She moved her body behind Lance as if she might be able to hide from them.

Lance noticed that Jacob look at him then to Lily with an icy stare. He felt a chill runs his spine.

"Ah... Miss?" He turned to look at J with confusion to only received a more confusing reply.

"You're doomed..." J said with a smirk. She forced Jacob to come and drop by Lily's apartment to check out on her because she felt something was wrong only to find his best friend with her husband's sister. Is he courting death?

"Huh?" Lance was flustered. Before he could say something, he heard Jacob's deep chilling voice.

"Get in."

Without much hesitation, Lily seemed to forget that she was drunk. She grabs her bag from Lance and takes out her key card to open the door. She entered her apartment with her head lowered.
