Chapter 609
Kingsland was quite a distance away from Brown City. They would take the plane to Brown. City, then
rush to the Lodge Family’s residence immediately after.
They hurried to the airport in Kingsland. Before boarding the plane, Lily called Justin, and she could
feel that he was much more silent than usual. Upon knowing she was going home, he rejected her right
away. “You don’t need to come back. Just continue with whatever you’re doing.”
“Justin?” Apart from being bewildered, Lily was mad at him too. “How can I not return home at such a
time? Grandpa was doing fine. How did he pass away so suddenly? What happened?” Lily could
understand Justin’s reason for stopping her from coming home if it was in the However, their
grandfather had passed away. How could she not return home? Moreover, she past. thought they had
resolved all their issues the last time she returned to the Lodge family’s residence, but why was Justin
stopping her from returning now?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe silence was getting unbearable. A moment later, Lily could no longer hold it in and was about to
speak, but Justin beat her to it. “Okay then. Come back if you want to. Are you coming back alone?”
Lily turned to look at the man beside her. “Alex is coming back with me too.”
“That’s great.” She could hear Justin’s sigh of relief before continuing, “Be careful on the road. Also,
come back home directly and don’t make any stops on the way home.” After giving Lily some
reminders, Justin hung up.
Lily was stuck in her thoughts for a long time, pondering over Justin’s words. Something about him felt
off to her.
“What’s wrong?” Alexander asked.
Shaking her head, she replied, “I don’t know. Something doesn’t add up, but I can’t pinpoint. it. Justin
initially stopped me from returning but agreed to it later.”
“It’s good news as long as he agrees to it, isn’t it?” Nodding, Alexander continued, Moreover, his
approval doesn’t matter in this case, where you’re returning because of grandpa’s death.”

“His attitude was weird, though. Also, he told us not to make any stops and just head back. home
directly. I have a feeling something has happened at home.”
Lily could not be sure as she had not yet returned home to see the situation. However, from her
understanding of Justin all these years, he was not someone who would be reluctant when he spoke.
That was why the way he had acted earlier appeared strange to her.
After a moment of silence, Alexander probably felt that Lily’s words also made sense. Edward, find out
who has visited the Lodge family’s residence recently, as well as the people. managing Mr. Lodge’s
funeral and the person managing the Lodge family affairs now.”
Edward nodded and returned to his original position to start working on his task.
Lily found Alexander’s order weird. “The person managing the family? Justin has been doing that since
my grandpa’s health declined, which made him retire.” Lily was sure of this, so she did not understand
why Alexander wanted to check on that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander gave Lily a profound gaze before he explained, looking down at the watch on his wrist, “We
can’t be entirely sure of that. We still have time to look it up.”
Finally, Lily realized there was a hidden meaning behind Alexander’s words. In retrospect, she
remembered her grandfather had always managed the family. It was just that he focused more on the
family’s kickboxing skills rather than the company’s development. That was why the family’s business
went through a crisis once.
At the time, Lily was still young and was living with the Lodge family. She did not know much about the
company’s matters, but she vaguely remembered that the family members were in dispute once, and
she had an uncle who was present.
Her uncle went overseas after that, and Justin, who had just come of age, took over the family’s
business. Fortunately, he was brilliant and managed to save the family from its crisis, which helped it to
be as successful as it was today.
