Chapter 542


    Lily took out the salve and showed it to her while apologizing, "It''s my fault. Sorry again." Lily was


    acting so grown up. She was polite and courteous. Tilly couldn''t possibly find any fault with that.


    I see. And she seems genuine enough. Tilly felt less nervous now. "No. The fault is all mine. You don''t


    have to apologize." She started smiling sweetly again. "I''ll be counting on that salve the next time I''m


    hurt." She was still covering the corner of her eye stiffly. She didn''t want Lily to look at it.


    "We''re ssmates. We should help each other. That''s what the teacher said." Lily nodded with a smile.


    Lilith was irked that Lily and Tilly were getting along. She mocked, "Oh, you''ve never been so kind to


    me before, Lily. What''s so special about Tilly? You just met her, didn''t you? Are you trying to get


    something from her?" The evil kid was starting to fan the mes again.


    "I think you know why I was never kind to you," Lily answered sharply.


    Lilith disliked that attitude. She snorted and turned away. No point arguing anymore. Still, she couldn''t


    totally hold it back, and she said, "Hey, she might be a snake pretending to be a friend."


    Lily sneered silently. I''m not trying to be friends with her. Still, Tilly was around, so she defended her.


    "Our teacher said we have to help our new friend out."


    Tilly stepped in and half-heartedly tried to stop them from arguing. "We''re all friends here. Don''t fight.


    We gotta work together." She didn''t mean it, of course.


    What a hypocrite, Lilith thought. She refused to talk to them anymore.


    Lily smiled and stopped talking. Tilly shut up as well.

    Yvonne was in her house, clenching her phone tightly. She was reading some online news. "Vania''s the


    author of ''Are You Coming Back''?" The news was trending thanks to Vania''s streamst night. It was


    the top search as well. Of course Yvonne saw it.


    "Did you find anything about her?" Yvonne looked at Lorraine. She bested me too many times. I gotta


    know more about her.


    Lorraine handed the files to her. "Just the stuff online. No more. I think someone''s hiding her details


    from the public eye."


    "Just keep an eye on her." Yvonne wasn''t happy about this, but she couldn''t ask Thomas to help her


    out.


    "I''ve followed all things Vania." That was as much as Lorraine could do.


    "What about the trip?" She was nning on using that to approach Hanson.

    "There''s a new hot spring ce in Hammond called Aqua Springs. There are restaurants and


    entertainment spots there, and it''s super high-end. It''s the perfect ce for you guys." Lorraine showed


    her the interior decoration of the ce. It was resplendent. She whispered, "And everyone''s gonna be


    wearing swimsuits in hot springs. You''re smoking hot, if I may say so myself. Just show it off to Mr.


    Luke, and he might just give you the chance you need."


    Yvonne didn''t want to stoop so low, but she nodded. "Make a reservation for tonight." I''ll invite some


    friends over. Hanson can''t say no to that.
