Chapter 407

"Yes, sir!" The assistant nodded quickly before leaving. … Meanwhile, Charlotte took Julia and Anna back home. Their moods were heavy, and their faces were clouded with frustration. As soon as they walked in, Lily and Morgan noticed that something was off. "Mom, Julia, Anna, what's wrong? Why do you all look like that? Did Hayden do something to you?" Lily stood frozen in place, staring blankly at them. Julia shook her head and sighed in frustration. "Don't even get me started! That guy is hopeless! There's nothing I can do about it this time. Just endure it quietly. He's the type who won't change unless he hits rock bottom!" She was seething with anger over everything that had just transpired. "I knew it!" Lily gritted her teeth as her frustration grew. Hayden was utterly beyond saving. Even when Julia and the others tried, it didn't work. Not even Charlotte, his own mother, could rein him in. "From now on, try to stay away from him. We don't need more arguments. As his older sister, you should try to be more patient. Don't stoop to his level. Is that alright with you?" Charlotte turned to Lily, her face betraying a flicker of hesitation. "Be more patient? Is this even something that requires patience? Hayden is beyond redemption. He's completely lost his morals! "You want me to avoid him? No way. If I get the chance, I'll make sure he ends up in prison!" Lily said furiously, her voice rising in anger. Her face was twisted with rage, her hatred for Hayden overwhelming. This wasn't something that could be solved with a few words. "You…" Charlotte parted her lips to speak but stopped herself, unable to find the right words. She could feel Lily's anger. This wasn't something she could talk her out of. "But… are you sure Hayden is the one behind this? If you want justice, I'll call the police right now. We'll have them investigate the film studio. Once the truth comes out, he won't be able to escape!" Suddenly, Anna stepped forward, her sharp gaze locked onto Lily. Lily replied, "This… isn't that serious, is it? We don't need to call the police. We'll just teach Hayden a little lesson. There's no need to investigate the film studio either. What do you think?" Lily's expression shifted slightly, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Anna. There was something off about her gaze, a cautious tension that only made Anna more confident of her suspicions. There was definitely something wrong with what Lily had said. And it was a big issue. Lily had lied. Everything she had told Anna about Hayden had been full of exaggerations and half-truths. How had she not seen it before? She had trusted Lily too much. That was why she was in this mess now. With a resigned sigh, Anna couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. It seemed that what Hayden had said earlier hadn't been without merit. But why hadn't she trusted him? "Alright, Lily. I understand. If you don't want to investigate, then we'll leave it at that." Anna smiled faintly, exchanging a look with Julia and Charlotte before leaving. Julia and Charlotte shared a glance, their thoughts racing, and followed Anna out. Lily stood frozen in place, her brows knitted together.
