"Riley Thompson, Aiden Grant is your brother-in-law. He's the man I chose. I'm more than willing to take on the responsibility of being the Grant Family's matriarch. Your brother-in-law has never once forced me to do any of this." Lily Shaw glanced at Aiden Grant, whose eyes were full of hope, then said each word carefully and clearly, "Riley Thompson, I really did come back to Silvercrest to pay my respects. Your brother-in-law was delayed by some matters, so he didn't come with me. He only came to Silvercrest a bit later. Riley Thompson, I didn't lie to you, and there's no need for me to lie to you."
From the bottom of his heart, Roy Thompson didn't believe what Lily Shaw was saying. He knew Lily must have had her heart broken by that selfish bastard Aiden Grant; otherwise she wouldn't have run back to Silvercrest without even saying a word to him, without a single heads-up.
