Chapter 271 - The News (3)

"Just take care of her. Don't let her get drunk. Jacob knows that you are there as well. So, if Lily gets drunk, you are doomed for the second time." J gave him a chilling warning.

Of course, Lance knew what she meant.

Just like what Lance said, the news about Jacob's marriage quickly spread. Although, the middle class was surprised and delighted at the same time that an outstanding man with a prominent and notable family background choses to get married to an ordinary nurse, the elites became suspicious of the girl. That's because they have never heard of the name of the girl before but that surname is quite familiar.

There were only few people in the country with the surname Do and most of them were not in the business circle. Yet the most prominent and famous people with the same surname is the founder of The Robin hood Society, Elder Do, its fallen leaders, President Martin Do and Madam Victoria Do and the heiress which name is still unknown to everyone but famous as The Missing Do.

Among the suspicious elites is Jack Ogden, as soon as he heard the news and saw the name of the girl, he had someone investigate her background. But, just like Jacob and James, they didn't find anything except for the record of their marriage. But Jack Ogden is almost certain that this Jenny Do is the missing granddaughter of his old friend Alexander Do, after all, the grandfather of Dr. Jacob Parker is the closest friend of Alexander Do, which is Benjamin Parker. These two old friends of his must've arranged this marriage years ago.

After the call, Lance hanged up then turned around to be startled by Lily who was standing a few feet behind him.

"How long have you been standing there?" Lance quickly recovered and asked.

"As soon as I saw you stand up from your seat, I followed you. I knew you were going to call sister-in-law. So, technically I've been standing here since you made the call."

Lance was taken aback. She's been standing there for long. Did that she heard everything I said from the beginning till the end?

"So, what happened?" Lily take another step then asked Lance with knitted brows.

Lance sighed. "Chairman John announced their marriage at the Foundation Gala. It was the decision of your father and J's father."

Lily was surprisingly calm in front of Lance. "Will she be fine?" Lily understands the situation of her sister-in-law. She was told of J's real identity and their involvement with The Robin Hood Society. Ever since she lived at Evergreen Villa, she found out from J that she and Lance were a member of the Society and that she is the granddaughter of its founder. She has also found out that Lance used to be J's right-hand man before she was replaced by Arthur. Now he works as J's business adviser and represents the Do's in the business circle.

Lance gave her a confident smile before replying. "Well, her name is being attached to your brother's. Its as if she received a lifetime immunity from any harm."

Lily was lost in Lance smile for a while. "That's good then."

They stared at each other for a couple of seconds with unreadable emotions. Lily felt awkward so she averted her gaze.

"You should go back in." Lance said after a while.

Lily nodded then she left. While Lance was left staring at the retreating back of Lily.
