After hanging up the phone, Lily looked at Deborah and said, "Mom, Edric sounded weird; it seems like something's wrong!"
"Don't worry. Tell him the truth. Steven will be responsible for anything that happens," Deborah said dismissively.
"But I'm still worried," Lily replied in doubt.
"Don't be scared. I'll take care of everything for you." Deborah had a sinister smile. "That little b*tch wants to have Edric? In her dreams! Edric is yours. I won't just turn her and Edric into strangers; I'll make sure they become enemies!"
Hearing Deborah's words, Lily felt relieved and headed out to meet Edric.
Edric's expression looked incredibly livid. "I have something to ask you!"
"What's the matter?" Lily spoke in a meek voice, attempting to elicit sympathy in Edric. She and Deborah had already thought of all the possible situations and came up with countermeasures. She was not panicked at all as she faced Edric.
