After meeting up, Bella and Sabrina drove toward the address Lillian had specified.
As the car turned onto the private roads of Halfridge Villas, the two women exchanged glances.
They had heard of Halfridge Villas before, but this was their first time here.
They never imagined their first visit would be because of Lillian.
"Bella, you know about this place, right?"
Of course, Bella knew. A few years ago, Sebastian had considered buying a property here but eventually opted for a different house.
"Mom, what is Lillian playing at? Why would she have us conduct the transaction here? She couldn't possibly be living here these days, could she?"
Sabrina couldn't figure it out either.
"Living here? Does she even deserve to? How could she afford a place like this? Even if she is staying here, she probably seduced some man to get the opportunity. You know, Lillian really has a knack for seducing men."
Thinking about how Nathan had helped Lillian before, Sabrina seethed.
Her own daughter was so capable, so brilliant, yet her repeated attempts to collaborate with Nathan on an algorithm had been rejected time and time again. To this day, they still hadn't managed to work together.
Yet Nathan was so good to Lillian, so good it was infuriating to watch.
And then there was Victor, who had also defended Lillian and insulted them at her wedding.
Now, who knew what man was backing her, allowing her to live in a place like this and summon them here.
