Capítulo 861: Lilian herself

Lily raised her eyebrow but said nothing. She let Mr. Neeson continue. "I am here to tell you that we are planning to let you take your grandmother's vacant seat."

"Vacant?"

Mr. Neeson smiled. "We didn't replace her. Rather… no one else was qualified enough to replace her." Making a deliberate pause, the older man stared at Lily's face as he thought of the similarity between Lily and Lilian. It was undeniable that the two were related. Even the way they spoke… had similarities. "Other than you, of course."

"Is that why you are here to talk to me?"

Mr. Neeson pursed his lips as he carefully thought of Lily's question. It was clear Lily already knew he was the one responsible for the poisoning. Or why else would she advise the Duke not to pursue the matter any further? Lily knew that if the Duke pursued the matter, he would only end up dead. He smiled and nodded. "Yes. That is why I wanted to talk to you."

"I see."
