When one of the nurses finished speaking, she dragged the nurse who had cursed Lily to die quickly and ran away.
After a while, things were delivered here.
Lily stood in front of the mirror, using a moistened cotton pad to wipe off the thick foundation and lipstick on her face little by little.
Ever since Rose told Lily that her brother Robert liked charming and sexy women, this silly girl put on heavy makeup every day and wore clothes that didn't suit her age and temperament. She made herself look like a fool and even got the title of the number one ugly girl in the socialite circle.
Looking at the true face completely exposed in the mirror, Lily was stunned again.
Her face was plain and white, and there was no vivid expression. A pair of big eyes were as black as thick ink.
She was still breathtakingly beautiful.
What shocked Lily was not that she was more stunning than others, but the familiarity of this face.
Not only did they have the same name, but even did they have the same appearance.
Lily blinked her eyes and suddenly smiled. She didn't even need to explain when she back.
She stared at her face in the mirror. Her eyebrows were slightly curved, and there was a unique glamorous coldness on her eyes and brows, "Lily, I will avenge you."
Since she had occupied her body, she had an obligation to seek justice for this kind girl who died innocently.
...
"Bastard! Are you going to piss me off? Do you know that Lily's mother left her with a 20% stake in the Defoe family before she died? With that money, we can take the Whitman family to a higher level and we will have better development!"
When Mrs. Whitman heard the news, she was fairly sad because the Whitman family could have received the money immediately, but they did not receive it.
It was all the fault of that bitch Daisy!
Robert was tall. He wore a luxurious high-end custom-made suit, which made his whole body full of elite atmosphere. Hearing this, his face darkened, "Mom, where did you hear the news?"
"Lily said it personally. It can't be false!" Mrs. Whitman sneered, "I had told you a long time ago that no matter how beautiful Daisy is, she is the daughter of a mistress. Lily is the eldest daughter of the Defoe family and her mother has a powerful background. Her mother may leave her something. However, you were fascinated by Daisy, and you even regretted the marriage in public. I am really mad at you!"
Mrs. Whitman gritted her teeth. Her chest trembling with anger. She pointed at Lily's ward and said, "Go to see her right now and get the marriage certificate with Lily as quickly as possible. I don't care whether you coax or lie to her!"
Robert frowned imperceptibly, and said coldly, "I told you that I won't marry her!"
"How dare you?!" Mrs. Whitman became angry when she heard this. But her tone softened when she thought about Lily's normal appearance and the scene that she had "fucked" with so many men.
"Robert, I know you like Daisy. But Lily had a 20% stake in the Defoe family. If you work harder, you will become the largest shareholder of the Defoe family."
Robert's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say anything. He felt disgusting when he thought about marrying an "impure" woman.
Moreover, he had sworn that he would never marry her. It would be a breach of his promise to get a marriage certificate with Lily at this time, right?
Mrs. Whitman said angrily, "Have you thought about it? With Lily's 20% shares and the merger of the Whitman family and the Defoe family, we are expected to surpass Emperor and become the biggest business overlord in Chicago. Besides, maybe we could directly enter the Capital for further development. With such huge interests, it's not a big deal to temporarily make Daisy feel wronged. What do you think?"
Robert narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mom, what do you mean..."
Mrs. Whitman touched the shawl on her shoulders, and snorted coldly, "Currently, marriage and divorce are common for people. She has her faults first. When you get married, she dares not say anything even if you don't touch her. For the sake and reputation of the Whitman family, we won't announce the news that you obtained the certificate with her to the public. No one would say that you break your words."
"She is so devoted to you. As long as you say a few sweet words to coax her, she will take the initiative to give up the 20% of the shares to you, right? As long as you get the 20% of the share, Lily will be useless. At that time, you can treat her whatever you want."
Lily was lazily basking in the sun on a bench in the garden. She looked a little sleepy. She looked at the blue sky and white clouds above her head, and she let out a sigh of relief.
A nurse ran over and handed over the things in her hand, "Miss, this is what you want."
The sudden voice attracted Mrs. Whitman and Robert's attention. They looked over and saw a person sitting on a bench not far away.
The person had long hair and wore a pure white silk dress, revealing two smooth and jade-like legs. Probably because she was afraid of the sun, she was wearing a sun hat, covering most of her face.
They could only see her chin which was as delicate as jade.
Even though they couldn't see her face, her quiet and noble aura made them dare not be disturbed. They didn't know who she was.
There were several milk tea cups on the seat beside her. It was obvious that she had been sitting here for a long time.
Mrs. Whitman and Robert didn't dare to take a closer look. They turned to leave.
Before leaving, Robert suddenly looked back for some unknown reason.
The woman raised a plain white hand and took something from the nurse. The red cover was a household registration book.
Should she have gone to get a certificate?
Robert suddenly thought of this and felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. He frowned and pondered for a moment. He couldn't figure it out, so he took a last look and left.
"Lily, what are you doing with your household registration book?" the nurse asked curiously.
Lily smiled at her. Her eyes were dark, "I get it to register for marriage."
...
It was five o'clock.
At the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Lily sat on the bench, watching the sparse crowd.
The former Mrs. Defoe did leave 20% of the shares to Lily, but she could only use the money after marriage.
Given her current situation of being alone and weak, finding someone to get married to was the fastest and most effective solution.
She would go home eventually, so there was no need to waste time in Chicago. She didn't have any extra requirements for her partner's name written in the household registration book of the Defoe family.
After all, she was not that original Lily. When the matter was settled, she would compensate the so-called husband for the corresponding spiritual loss. As long as he was willing to cooperate with her, she could give everything in Chicago to him for free.
Today didn't seem to be a white day. Only a small half of the people who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau got the certificate, and more than half were divorced.
Lily was drowsy. She waited for a long time but she couldn't find a suitable man. At 5:50, the newlywed couples who got there to register for marriage or the couple who divorced all left.
Lily stood up from the bench and was just about to leave when she saw a slender figure walking toward her.
She paused in her footsteps, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
