Having been with Lily Turner for more than ten years, how could Alice Turner not hear that Lily Turner on the other end of the phone was pretending to be relaxed? Lily Turner had just fled from her wedding, and then the incident of Henry Thompson withdrawing his investment happened. Anyone could see that these two events were unavoidably connected.
"Lily! Do you still consider me your sister?" Lily Turner's repeated concealments made Alice Turner even more worried. She was even a little bit angry about it, angry that Lily Turner didn't see her as a person to confide in.
Alice Turner's words were clear to Lily Turner. Although she understood what her sister meant, she still firmly replied, "Of course I consider you my sister."
"Since you consider me your sister, then tell me the truth. What's really going on between you and Henry?" Alice Turner was convinced that something serious and unpleasant happened between them, despite them telling her it was a small misunderstanding. How could she believe it was just a small misunderstanding?
Hearing Alice Turner say this, Lily Turner let out an almost inaudible sigh. She knew she couldn't keep it a secret any longer as things had developed to this point. She paused for a moment, and then opened her mouth to tell about the affair between Henry Thompson and Jenny York.
"Silly girl! Why didn't you tell me earlier about suffering such a grievance? If I hadn't pursued you today, would you still have planned to keep it hidden?" After hearing Lily Turner's account, Alice Turner finally knew what had happened. She had suspected something bad happened earlier, but she never thought in this direction. She had watched the two of them go from acquaintances to lovers.
After revealing the truth, Lily Turner felt a bit relieved from her gloomy mood, "Sis! I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't know how to tell you."
What she said was true. The incident between her fiancé and her best friend happened too suddenly. She couldn't process it in her mind for a while. This was part of it, and she also didn't want to add a burden to her sister's heart.
"What is there to not know how to say to me? Of course, it's the truth." Alice Turner let out a long sigh and continued with righteous indignation, "When exactly did the two of them hook up? How can Jenny be so shameless? She is supposed to be your best friend. Are there no more men in the world? Why does she have to steal your man?"
"Sis! Do you think a man who could be taken away can still be considered my man?" Although Lily Turner was experiencing something like this for the first time, she had acted in several films about it. From the films, she learned a truth: infidelity is never solely the responsibility of one person. Both the man and woman involved in the affair have issues. It's not just a case of the woman seducing the man. If the man wasn't willing, could the woman succeed?
Although she understood rationally what was going on and could see clearly the reasoning behind it, emotionally she couldn't accept it so quickly.
The two people who betrayed her were the ones she once trusted deeply. She had given her all in dedication, but in the end, this was the kind of return she received from them.
Alice Turner pondered for a while, then shook her head, "He doesn't count! We don't care about that kind of scumbag. Our Lily is so outstanding, she will definitely find a good man who truly loves her."
Alice Turner was saying this to Lily Turner on the other end of the phone, and also to herself. She firmly believed that the two sisters will find men who truly love them.
