Chapter 988: Chapter 991: Lily gets tough, slapping back at the old lady (1) Chapter 988: Chapter 991: Lily gets tough, slapping back at the old lady (1) Madam Ford, adopting an elder’s authority, patiently instructed Lily.

Her tone sounded sincere and patient.

But between the lines, there was an unmistakable distrust and disdain for Lily.

It was as if it had already been confird that Lily Redington could not possibly have acquired these jewels on her own, and that they were all gifts from Ethan Wilson which she then passed on to others.

“I understand,” Lily said, lips curving into a smile after listening to Madam Ford. She wasn’t angry at all.

Her composure was so perfect that even Aidan Lucas furrowed his brow.

Just as he was thinking of seeking justice for the woman, he heard her, sitting next to him, ask delicately, “But Madam Ford, how can you be so sure that what you just said isn’t embarrassing yourself?”

“Young lady, watch your words. Explain to what you ant by what you just said!” Madam Ford was sowhat angry. After giving a long, heartfelt talk, the child had the nerve to talk back.

“There’s no hidden aning. If the gifts truly ca from Ethan Wilson as you suggest, then your words would be reasonable. But if they didn’t, doesn’t that an… that the one who gets slapped in the face, who speaks rudely, with only a superficial view, turns out to be you, Madam Ford?”

“In that case, it would really put in a difficult position. Should I preserve Madam Ford’s dignity, or insist on telling the truth…?”

As she spoke, Lily looked up at Aidan Lucas beside her and batted her eyelashes, “Ethan, what do you think I should do?”

Her beautiful, peach-blossom eyes twinkled with mischief, showing no sign of discomfort.

Lily had always disliked Madam Ford’s attitude towards Ben Lucas and wanted to teach this presumptuous old lady a lesson.

Moreover, except for Emily Taylor, how other people viewed her didn’t bother her in the least.

Even if it was her grandmother, so what?

Ha, doting over Charles Taylor’s unspeakable product, without seeing what it really was!

The man received the woman’s inquiring gaze, his cold eyes softening.

He spoke lightly, “Of course, the truth is more important.”

Lily pressed her lips into a smile, “Alright, if that’s the case, I can only speak the truth.”

She turned her head to look at Madam Ford, her eyes bright and clear.

“Ben had already said that the jewelry was mine, not Ethan Wilson’s. But since Madam Ford doesn’t believe that, insisting that I’m superficial and pretending to be sothing I’m not, I can only present the evidence here for everyone to see.”

“The sapphires in each of these pieces of jewelry have engravings on the back. Not just behind the sapphires but also on the backing mounts, there are engravings. You need not worry that they were inscribed by recently. Those marks are old, and anyone not blind can tell they are not newly made.”

Upon hearing Lily’s words, Emily Taylor imdiately flipped over the necklace in her hands.

Indeed, behind the large sapphire, two symbols were engraved.

One symbol was incomprehensible, but the other was the character for ‘Redington’.

Lily smiled with a touch of pride. The collectibles of their family naturally bore their family’s marks.

The Reddington family’s crest and the character for ‘Redington’.

It was said that originally, the collectibles of the Reddington family only had the family crest and not the ‘Redington’ character.

Later, the Duke, in pursuit of his wife, had the notion to engrave a ‘Redington’ character on all gifts for his wife, hoping that whenever she saw a gift from him, she would think of him.

Over ti, the Reddington family developed a new tradition.

To not only engrave the family crest but also the ‘Redington’ character.
