When Lily Gray suddenly heard the words “husband” from Skye Brown’s mouth, she still felt a bit unaccustomed.

She felt the temperature on her face rise again.

“Skye, now that I think about it, you were right… People’s hearts are truly separated by their stomachs.” Lily Gray took a sip of her creamy mushroom soup, and the corner of her mouth inadvertently got a little stained with the soup.

Seeing this, Skye carefully wiped it clean for her.

“You realize now, don’t you? I told you so back then. You always saw her as pitiful and constantly helped her… But what you didn’t know is that not everyone will treat you the same way if you’re good to them. Some people, when you help them, their pitiful self-esteem gets in the way, and they feel like their pride has been hurt. They end up holding a grudge against you.”

Skye and Lily Gray had known each other since middle school.

But Vivian Walters was someone they met later on.

In college, the three of them shared a dormitory. Lily Gray saw Vivian living frugally and would always buy things for her.

Because Mrs. Gray was always very loving and giving to Lily, she gave her the best of everything.

Lily loved her friend and always shared her own things with Vivian in the dormitory.

But Lily didn’t know that her well-intentioned help was seen as a show of wealth by Vivian.

Vivian didn’t have money for college, so she could only endure Lily’s showing off and accept her charity.

But then in their senior year, she got lucky and was discovered by a talent scout. Because she knew how to survive in the entertainment circle, she quickly found a sponsor to promote her career.

After that, she deliberately got involved with Austin Lucas.

“To be honest, I never thought Vivian would turn out like this.” Lily Gray sighed, leaning her head on Skye’s shoulder. “Skye, do you think… was 1 wrong too? If 1 hadn’t been so eager to help her, maybe I wouldn’t have hurt her pride.”

“You silly girl, you better get rid of that idea from your mind soon.”

Skye straightened Lily’s head and pinched her rosy cheek. “Let me tell you, you better not have that thought ever again! Your mother, she’s great in everyway, but she… She protected you too well. Vivian is just the first villain you’ve encountered in your life’s journey, and there might be more in the future.”

She spoke with a sense of experience, “Some people are just born ungrateful. No matter how good you are to them or how much you do for them, they won’t change. Lily, you know about my mother’s situation. Wasn’t my mother good to Gloria Denham?”

As Skye spoke, she casually picked up a piece of bread and took a fierce bite.

“My mom financed Gloria’s education back then. And in the end, how did she repay my mom? She still ended up killing my mom with anger.”

When Lily heard Skye mention her mother, her mood also became low.

But every time she thought of Skye’s mother, she couldn’t help but think of Gloria. And when she thought of Gloria…

“Oh, how could I almost forget about that!”

Lily promptly told the story of accompanying Ethan Wilson to attend the Brown family’s banquet, where Stewart Brown and Gloria Denham drugged them, and how they turned the tables and made them, along with Sierra Hammond, lose face in the end.

“Skye, I’m sorry… 1 didn’t expect things to turn out like that and cause so much embarrassment for the Brown family.” After Lily told the story, she looked at Skye anxiously.

“Pff, 1 thought it was something serious. So that’s what happened. Are there any photos or videos of them online? Hurry, hurry, hurry, find them for me to see.”

Although Lily knew that Skye hated Stewart and Gloria very much, she still worried that Skye would be resentful about revealing her father’s ordeal.

But it seems that she truly didn’t mind at all.

Not only did she not mind, she even happily asked Lily to take out her cell phone and help her look for the video on Twitter.

As a result, they didn’t find the video of Stewart, but they discovered the live broadcast of Vivian’s press conference instead..
