Chapter 24 - Big Evil Wolf
Lilia turned to Harold and the man immediately handed over the bouquet of lilies in his hand. The model then handed the bouquet to Sara with a friendly smile, "Sara, you better be careful when crossing the road next time. Fortunately, this time your leg only cracked, but who knows what might happen next."
Sara's eyes were fixed on the lily and the corners of her mouth twitched. She could hear the threat behind Lilia's words.
Although Sara was both annoyed and anxious, she didn't dare to show it. William's manager received a bouquet from Lilia and placed it on the table beside her bed.
"Your words are absolutely correct, Lilia." Sara nodded with an earnest face, "I didn't think that I would be hit by a car just a few days after William and I got back here. Looks like we are not destined to get married in Indonesia!"
The two women still wore big smiles as they threw knives at each other behind their words.
William and Harold who listened silently could grasp their hidden intent.
'If you do this again next time, you won't get away with just a cracked leg', was what Lilia meant.
'Are you jealous that I came back here with William to get married?' Sara inwardly replied.
William frowned and glared at Lilia. He opened his mouth to defend Sara, but Harold who was sitting next to him spoke first, "Mr. William, how about we go outside for a moment?"
William shot Harold an annoyed look and wanted to refuse. However, Sara advised him, "Will, can you please accompany Mr. Harold for some fresh air? You've been sitting here all night, surely your body is all tired. I'll have a private chat with Lilia."
William took turns staring at Lilia and Sara before finally relenting, "Okay. If there is anything, please call the nurse." He reminded Sara.
Before leaving, William gave Lilia another sharp gaze. It was as if she were a big and bad wolf who was going to devour Sara, the little girl with the red riding hood.
The two men walked out and Harold slid the door shut. After waiting for the sound of their second footsteps to disappear, Sara started talking, "Lilia, Will told me about the commotion on the internet last night. I am really, really sorry. I didn't think that everyone would blame you for my accident."
Lilia crossed her arms, her lips forming a sinister smile, "If there weren't people who intentionally gave wrong information, they couldn't possibly accuse me, right?"
Sara's white face turned even paler, "Lilia, are you accusing me of lying on purpose? I really don't know… ow!"
Sara grimaced in pain when she accidentally moved her leg.
Lilia sighed, "You are too excited. Please don't forget that your leg is still healing. "
She crossed her arms and gave Sara a cold stare, "Right now, there are only the two of us here, so if something happens to you, I'll be the one to blame!"
"Lilia, you misunderstood! I know you hate me because you feel like I've stolen William from you, and I'm sorry. But in love, there is no such thing as stealing someone else's boyfriend!" Sara tried to justify herself, "Me and William are destined to be a match, so we will definitely be together no matter what!"
The corner of Lilia's mouth twitched in laughter. She winced at the irony that even if she and William were not a destined match, it did not give Sara the freedom to snatch him.
Finally, Lilia couldn't stand it and started laughing, "There is no one else here besides the two of us. Why do you continue to act like a victim who needs pity? You know I won't be fooled by your appearance."
"W-What do you mean?" Sara wore a confused expression, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Do you still remember when you took William from me three years ago? At that time, you were much smarter than now!" Said Lilia aloud.
"...What do you want to say to me?"
Finally, Sara realized that Lilia was not deceived by her acting and gave up her pretense.. Her face that looked innocent suddenly turned sharp.
