760 Picnic

Harringfort was originally planning to use Lily and her resources. It was supposed to be simple. She would investigate into the Corneels and realize that a particular Cartel were doing child prostitution and human trafficking, then she would ask George and Zhou Jingren to wage a war against them. Using this method, Lily was bound to ruin them.

He frowned as his hand slowly balled into a fist. He was banking on Lily's righteous nature to help the innocent. Why would she suddenly back out? Despite some of the council members discouraging him about it, he still insisted that Lily's righteous nature would win.

Everyone wanted to be a hero. So why the heck would she refuse to become one? He narrowed his eyes as he thought of Lily's smile. Behind her brilliant and beautiful smile was a cunning eye. Was it possible that she figured out the real reason why he chose to route the call to that particular Cartel? Impossible.
