章 122: The Truth Unveiled

"Oh my goodness, darling!" Sophia's voice rang out, excited as soon as she heard Lily. "Something big has happened, did you know? Your uncle found out you have a boyfriend. He's been freaking out because your phone's been off, and he's so worried he went to the police to report you missing. I didn't know how to explain it to him!"

"A boyfriend? Did you tell him?!" Lily's heart raced in panic.

"Of course not! Your uncle accidentally came across an old newspaper from a while back. He found out you've been lying about being out of town for work, and he's absolutely furious."

"A newspaper?!"

"Yeah, let me remember... It was that issue about the Carter Group chairman being rushed to the hospital. There's a photo of you and your boyfriend kissing."

Lily immediately hung up the phone and rushed to a nearby newsstand, frantically searching through old newspapers.
