Series 37
Given her family’s influence, wouldn’t it have been easy for her to target a child?” Wren shook her head, her expression serene as she replied, “It can’t be Lily, Mom, you’re overthinking this.”
Seeing Wren’s unwavering trust in Lily, Holley felt a sharp sting of sadness and disappointment. “Wren, do you really hold Lily in such high regard? You seem to trust her so much.”
Wren pursed her lips and responded earnestly, “I like Lily a lot because she’s genuinely kind. Not only towards me but towards you as well. Despite not living at the Wright family estate, you go there frequently, and Lily never speaks ill of you. She simply acts as if you’re not there.”
After a pause, she continued, “She treats me, her husband’s illegitimate daughter, with equal indifference. While she doesn’t embrace me as her daughter, she hasn’t made my life difficult or treated me unjustly. When I first came to the Wright family, some of the maids bullied me. Lily noticed that and immediately dismissed several of them as a warning, and after that, no one dared to bully me again.
So, I don’t believe she would intentionally harm me when I was a child by administering hormones.”
At Wren’s words, Holley’s expression turned dark.
