At first glance, when Lily Turner t Aunt Li, she left a very good impression, not because Lily was beautiful, but because she looked very approachable and gave off a particularly easy-going and gentle vibe.
"Don’t be fooled by Lily being a big star, she doesn’t have any airs of a celebrity at all." As Aunt Li got to know her more, her impression of Lily Turner improved even further.
During this period of interaction, Aunt Li genuinely saw a fact clearly: Lily Turner wasn’t just appearing friendly and kind—she truly was a considerate, understanding, and kind-hearted girl.
Just a few days ago, this considerate girl even ’forced’ Aunt Li to change the way she addressed her, insisting that she call her by her na. If she got it wrong even once, she would have to accept Lily’s ’punishnt.’
After enduring a few ’punishnts,’ Aunt Li gradually got used to calling her by her na.
Harriet White had just quickly glanced at Lily Turner; as she sat down, she was about to look at her more carefully when Lily got up and left the living room.
Harriet White’s understanding of Lily Turner was solely based on Evelyn Taylor’s descriptions, but she knew very well that, being Evelyn’s rival, Evelyn’s opinion about Lily was certainly not objective.
Today, hearing Callix Linton and Aunt Li’s genuine praise and affection for Lily Turner completely confird Harriet’s previous judgnt. She felt fortunate for not believing Evelyn’s one-sided story just because Evelyn was her daughter.
Even though she knew that Evelyn’s comnts about Lily Turner were excessively extre and unpleasant, Evelyn was still her daughter, and Harriet felt she should help her daughter and support her in pursuing Easton Hols.
"I heard that girl had a fiancé before marrying Easton, and she abandoned her fiancé on their wedding day." The affair between Lily Turner and Henry Thompson was quite the sensation, and with Evelyn in the house, it was hard for Harriet not to know about it.
She only knew about these things on the surface, not clearly understanding the specifics. She thought Aunt Li would surely know sothing, and she took the opportunity to inquire so inside information from her.
Aunt Li never cared about celebrity gossip, so she was completely unaware of what Harriet was talking about. Although she didn’t know about these matters, she now clearly saw a fact.
Harriet’s request for plain water was just an excuse; she rely wanted to seize the opportunity to inquire about Lily Turner.
As for why she would do that, Aunt Li could guess about seventy to eighty percent of it; she was here to gather information for her daughter.
Having seen through Harriet’s true intention of asking her for water, Aunt Li imdiately made a plan. She picked up the cup of water that she had just placed on the countertop and handed it to Harriet.
"Mrs. Ann! The water has cooled a little now, you can take it and drink it." Had she discovered her true purpose earlier, she wouldn’t have co over to pour her water; she would’ve let her get it herself since she wasn’t sincerely drinking water anyway.
Looking at the cup of water that suddenly appeared in front of her, Harriet was taken aback for a mont, but she quickly snapped out of it and reached out to take the cup of water Aunt Li handed to her.
As she accepted it, she didn’t forget to say thanks, "Thank you!"
"I’m sorry, Mrs. Ann! I need to hurry to the restroom, make yourself comfortable." Aunt Li said this and imdiately turned to leave the kitchen, not lingering for a second as she headed straight to the restroom.
Seeing the hurried departing figure, Harriet sighed helplessly and, sowhat unwillingly, carried the cup of water Aunt Li had just handed her as she walked out of the kitchen.
