Chapter 396

Just as Hayden's team was about to continue with the photo shoot, Lily came back with Morgan. Both of their faces looked grim, and they sat in the living room in silence. "What happened?" In the living room, Charlotte, along with Julia and Lily, happened to notice them. They assumed something must have happened and immediately rushed over to check on them. "It's... nothing." Morgan, already shaken, was too scared to say anything. "Look at you two. Did someone bully you? Our family will not tolerate anyone bullying us. Tell me. Who did this to you?" Charlotte's voice was stern as she asked. As a mother, she couldn't allow anyone to hurt her family. "I-It was Hayden!" Morgan said, his face full of awkwardness as he looked at Charlotte. He was worried Lily might spill the whole truth, so he spoke up first. If Lily revealed what had really happened, Charlotte and the others would definitely be furious, and they would start investigating. If they managed to track down Logan, then Morgan would be in real trouble. But as soon as he finished speaking, Lily jumped in. "Yes! It was Hayden! He actually bullied us and humiliated us in front of so many people at the studio. I'll never forgive him for this!" Lily clenched her fists, glaring at everyone with fury. Then, she began recounting some of the events that had happened at the medieval town. But these were things that Logan had done, only now they were being pinned on Hayden. Even Morgan was stunned, and he stared blankly at Lily. Holy hell! This was truly a godsend. Lily was really on fire. Now, Charlotte and the others would definitely be even angrier with Hayden and possibly even disgusted by him. But then what? If they went after Hayden, what would happen? Would things escalate to something even worse? What if Hayden told Charlotte the real story and she went after Logan? The thought made Morgan swallow nervously. His anxiety grew. He could only hope that Logan would take the money and run as far as possible. If they discovered the truth, he would be done for. All he could do now was sit quietly and watch everyone's reactions. Soon, Lily was done speaking. She painted Hayden as an evil person, saying that he had gone to great lengths to ruin her, even paying someone to take compromising photos of her. If those photos ever got out, it would be a huge blow to Lily's reputation. That, of course, had been her goal all along. Morgan hadn't solved the problem yet and had let Logan go, but Lily still hadn't calmed down. So, she blamed everything on Hayden. "Now, do you see just how despicable Hayden is? He's willing to do anything to get what he wants! And now, he's done something like this to me. Morgan was right there watching. If you don't believe me, just ask him!" Lily felt a little uneasy, afraid that Charlotte and the others might not believe her, so she immediately turned to Morgan. She even shot him a look. Morgan froze for a second before quickly nodding in understanding. He got the message.
