Chapter 5
The three brothers quickly returned to the living room with Lily.
Before Lily could put on another fake act, James immediately made a phone call.
"Freeze all of Rachel Harper's bank cards right now."
"Pull up every single transaction she's made recently. And go check all of our parents' old properties."
"I want to know exactly where she went and what she spent money on in these three days."
After issuing his cold orders, James abruptly hung up.
Once the records were pulled, he would know precisely where I had gone over the past three days.
Then he would teach me a harsh lesson!
I let out a derisive laugh. James seemed to have forgotten.
Previously, one of his company's strategic decisions had nearly led to bankruptcy, with many shareholders withdrawing their investments.
When James was at a dead end, I had poured all my money into the company to keep it afloat.
This included all the money my brothers had given me, as well as the property our parents had left me.
Now apart from my identity, where would I have any extra money?
William scanned the empty living room and snorted:
"Rachel's really gone too far. While we were wholeheartedly taking care of Lily, instead of suffering together in the cellar, she was out having fun."
"I'll ask around at the recording studios. She better not be hiding there, relying on my reputation."
Henry's face darkened as he said in a low voice:
"I have quite a few art studios too. She might be hiding in one of those."
James snorted, "Well, let's see where she can run to now!"
"We have to find her and make her apologize to Lily!"
With that, William and Henry left in front of Lily.
My spirit remained by James' side, perhaps because he was closest to my body.
Lily watched William and Henry leave, a flash of hatred for me passing through her eyes.
She threw herself into James' arms.
"Maybe big sister still doesn't think I'm worthy of being your sister."
"Should I leave instead? I can come back when I'm worthy of being your sister..."
"Then big sister probably won't target me anymore, right?"
As Lily spoke, her tears fell onto James' hand.
James gently wiped away Lily's tears, saying tenderly:
"Don't worry, Lily. When we find her, we'll make her kneel and apologize to you first!"
"From now on, as long as we're here, she'll never be able to target you again!"
Lily buried her face in James' chest, a sly look flashing in her eyes.
I watched Lily continue her act and angrily tried to kick her, but of course I couldn't affect the physical world.
Just then, James' phone rang. A slight smile tugged at his lips.
