Upon realizing that the meeting had finished, Lily started looking at everyone's expressions.
"You wanted to know what happened, right?" Asked Lucian, which was returned by Lily's over-eager nod.
She hastily clambered on one of the chairs, it took some effort but she wanted to do it herself.
The expression on her face was serious and I think most of us were holding in our laughter. Her head was barely above the desk, but she insisted on sitting alone.
"Now Lily, whatever we're going to say here is confidential, you understand that right?" Asked Uncle Lyle.
"Yes, I can keep a secret!" she replied as if being commanded.
Scooting closer to the table, Aunt Serena clasped her hands before speaking.
"You see, before Eli married your brother, she was part of the Thornhill clan. Similar to our clan, the Thornhills have a long and established history as well as great financial standing."
