Lily said calmly, "I was too embarrassed to call you, but I would be really happy if you could come and
hang out with me from time to time."
Although Emma and Sophia knew Lily was lying, they didn't nail her lie.
"Call me at any time. When I just came back to Sealand, I didn't have any friends as well. I understand
how boring it could be"
They began talking.
But they were actually on pins and needles.
After they talked for some time, someone came home.
Drake walked in from the outside. When he saw Sophia, Emma, and Lily in conversation, he smiled.
Although he raised no objection to Sophia's promise to Rashad that she would visit Lily often, it
bothered him a lot.
Just now, someone sent him an anonymous message, telling him to come back home and have a look.
Drake knew that the anonymous sender just wanted him to come back and see how close Sophia and
Lily were.
He didn't have to investigate to know who sent him the message.
But now that he had come back, he didn't mind taking a photo and sending it to Rashad.
Sophia turned her head and saw Drake, "Drake, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the company Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
now?"
Drake said, "Someone wanted me to come home; I couldn't let him down."
Everyone knew who he was referring to.
Lily hadn't had time to inform Rashad, so he didn't know what was happening. She said calmly,
"Rashad told you to come home, didn't he? He's always worried about me. Just tell him I'm fine."
Drake recorded her words and sent it to Rashad.
He came over. "It's okay, Lily. I'm not so busy with work recently. Rashad is talented in business and
management. He has helped me a lot. I have much time to visit you now."
He believed Lily could understand the hidden meaning of his words.
"You overestimate him. He doesn't know much. He's only good at operating computers. As he has just
started in business, he has a lot to learn. Besides, it's your grandfather who wants him to run the
company, so he'll do his best not to disappoint your grandfather."
Drake smiled, "Lily, you know very little about my cousin. After a day's observation, I can see he's very
talented. After all, as a member of the Riley family, he's supposed to be very clever.
Lily suddenly did not know what to say. After a long while, she said, "Drake, you have a lot more
experience in business while he's a rookie. I'd appreciate it if you could help him out.
"Of course I will."
They were all very clever with what they said.
As for Rashad, he had been looking at the surveillance video. He could see Sophia, Emma and hear
Drake's words. Things seemed to be out of control.
It seemed that his plans had been seen through.
However, Rashad still sent a message, "Sorry, Drake, I was a hacker and used to sending anonymous
messages. I will change this bad habit of mine."
Drake saw the message, curled his lips into a smile and gave no reply.
When the Old Riley came out after his lunch break and saw Drake here, he didn't look happy. "Drake,
why are you here? You should be at work now. Do you think it's right to leave your cousin alone on his
first day at work?"
Drake casually said, "Grandpa, sorry, but Rashad asked me to come back home. He asked me to
come home and have a look when I had time. This is the message he sent me."
When Drake took out his phone to show the message to the Old Riley, Lily's heart skipped a beat.
She immediately said, "It's all my fault. Rashad and I were the only family to each other before.
Wherever he goes, he worries about me. He asked Sophia to spend more time with me, and later he
asked Drake to come home and check on me. Alas!"
The Old Riley smiled after hearing this, "I see. But Drake, shouldn't you be getting back to work?
Rashad is a rookie in business. He'll need your help a lot.
The look in Lily's eyes changed, and Sophia and Emma noticed it.
"Grandpa, Rashad really inherits the wisdom of our Rileys. Although he's a rookie, he's really
competent. I left him alone because I have great confidence in his ability."
The Old Riley was interested, "You mean Rashad has got used to working there so soon?"
"Yup, he's doing a great job. Don't worry about him. My cousin is awesome!"
He wondered if his grandfather got his implication.
The Old Riley nodded, "Well done! He deserves to be a Riley."
Lily was still frowning.
The three stayed till the evening, and had dinner together after Rashad came back.
During dinner, the Old Riley kept asking about Rashad's work.
"Grandpa, I just joined the company, there are many things to learn and it takes time."
The Old Riley smiled and said, "Don't be so modest. Drake has told me that you're doing great."
He said with a smile, "Although I lost Roman, I have you now. Rashad, keep it up. I believe that you
and Drake will make the Riley Group the best in the world."
Sophia was speechless. He really got ambition.
But it was a good thing that he got ambition.
Rashad took a glance at Drake, who said with a smile, "Yes, Rashad, I have told Grandpa how good
you are at work. Don't be so modest."
Rashad's plan had been going well ever since he returned - until this very day.
After they were gone, Lily and Rashad went back to their room.
Lily said, "Rashad, I think they already know our purpose."
"I don't think so. They are just always on guard against us." Far from his usual gentleness, Rashad
looked grim and terrifying.
Lily agreed with him on this.
After all, they hadn't been home for years. It was not surprising that their sudden return made the
Rileys suspicious of their true intentions.
