Chapter 1687: You'd Better Tell the Truth

Ignored by her own brother, Athena Linton was still thinking about how to tease her brother a few more times. Unexpectedly, Lily Turner stood up and spoke to her, quickly dismissing the idea of teasing her brother.

“I wanted to give you all a surprise.”

She said as she walked towards the goddess sister.

“Are you sure you’re not here to give us a fright instead?”

Lily Turner looked meaningfully at Athena Linton as she walked towards her. This girl’s arrival was very abrupt, without any prior sign.

This wasn’t like her; whenever she visited Flame City before, she would always inform them in advance.

But this time, she came quietly, without any information to Uncle and Aunt.

Under Lily Turner’s gaze, Athena became somewhat guilty, her eyes flickered, “I’m not the kind of mischievous person who would do such a boring prank to scare you, right?”

To cover up her guilt, she exaggerated her expressions while joking.

“Your sister-in-law is timid, you better not scare her, or I’ll deal with you.” Before Lily Turner could speak, Easton Holmes had already spoken.

Upon hearing her brother’s words, Athena’s heart skipped a beat, did her brother notice something?

No way, she thought she had hidden it well.

“The goddess sister is timid? Bro! That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year.” To conceal her true thoughts, Athena laughed exaggeratedly.

But she didn’t realize, the more exaggerated she behaved, the more it showed her guilt.

Easton Holmes and Lily Turner both noticed Athena’s abnormality, the couple exchanged a tacit glance, and then turned their gaze towards Athena.

“Athena! Did Uncle and Aunt know you came to Flame City?” This was Easton Holmes asking, and it was also what Lily Turner wanted to know, she just gave him the chance to ask.

Athena nodded: “They know.”

Before she came, she left a note to inform them, but her parents hadn’t seen it yet, she believed they would see it soon.

“Uncle and Aunt know? Are you sure you’re not lying to us?” When Easton Holmes learned Athena had arrived in Flame City earlier, he immediately judged that his uncle and aunt didn’t know about her arrival.

After seeing her behavior at home, he became increasingly certain of his assumption.

Upon seeing Athena suddenly appearing at home, Amelia Linton was also surprised, but she was too busy playing with Rosie and Evie to think about it deeply.

Now, hearing Easton Holmes speak, she also felt Athena’s arrival was somewhat suspicious.

Seeing everyone staring at her, Athena, already feeling guilty, became even more uncomfortable, “I’m sure I’m not lying to you.”

“Mom! Call Uncle and ask if he and Aunt know Athena came to Flame City.” Easton Holmes decided not to waste words with Athena anymore, planning to expose her lie directly.

“Okay.”

Amelia Linton responded, took out her phone from her pocket, and was preparing to dial a number when Athena suddenly reached out and seized her phone, “Why are you taking my phone? Give it back to me.”

Amelia Linton, although saying this, didn’t try to snatch her phone back; she just watched Athena take her phone away.

“Athena Linton! You better tell the truth, did you sneak over to Flame City this time?” Looking at Athena, Easton Holmes pressed aggressively.
