Chapter 292: He Stands by My Side
Lily Turner was very clear in her heart that if people who didn’t know or understand her saw the information in the media and online, the vast majority would probably think she was a promiscuous person.
Given her current fame and success, they would likely believe the online rumors and assume she gained them by selling her looks.
On the other end of the phone, Alice Turner tried hard to envision Lily Turner as a stranger, yet in her heart, she couldn’t completely regard Lily as one, and her judgments and statements naturally leaned towards an emotional viewpoint.
"From the perspective of a stranger, I think you’re a very hardworking actress, diligent in work and modest in life." After much struggle, Alice Turner finally reached this conclusion.
"Sis! This doesn’t sound like you’re treating me as a stranger at all; it clearly shows you still see me as your sister." Lily Turner expected this result and sighed helplessly, then said, "Forget it! I won’t make it difficult for you."
After saying this, she sighed again.
"You’re too young to be sighing all the time, okay? Acting like you’re about to..." Alice Turner suddenly realized she was about to say something unpleasant, and fortunately, she caught herself just in time. Otherwise, she would be mad at herself for saying those words, and they would cause her regret.
Before Lily Turner could respond, Alice Turner quickly changed the topic, "What did he say about his mom’s dissatisfaction with you?"
This was what Alice most wanted to know and was her biggest concern.
"He’s on my side."
Although Alice Turner didn’t finish her previous thought, Lily knew exactly what Alice intended to say. She wasn’t offended by such words, especially since her sister on the other line was merely worried about her.
Hearing Lily’s words, Alice Turner visibly relaxed, "That puts my mind at ease."
"Don’t worry too much about Mom; I’ll speak up for you." From childhood to now, Alice has always played the peacemaker between Lily and Sophia Wood, a role she was willing to take on, as both mother and daughter were her family, and she genuinely hoped their relationship wouldn’t be strained.
Perhaps Lily used to have high expectations of Sophia Wood before, but ever since Sophia forced her to reconcile with Henry Thompson, her expectations of her mother seemed to have vanished.
After what happened this morning, she felt nothing but sadness and disappointment. If things continued this way, she feared she would soon fall into despair.
"Sis! Thank you! But don’t waste your effort; I’ve already lost all hope." Her sister was already dealing with a lot of troubles, and she didn’t want to add to Alice’s burdens with her own issues.
"Don’t be discouraged. I’ll figure things out with Mom; you don’t have to worry about it." Alice didn’t understand Lily’s true feelings at this moment. Hearing Lily’s words, she simply assumed that Lily was losing hope in this matter.
This situation was something she hadn’t foreseen; she was only focused on helping the mother and daughter and had completely overlooked her sister’s feelings.
"Sis! You..."
"You don’t need to say anything more. I’ve decided to handle it this way." Before Lily could voice her thoughts, Alice interrupted her. After expressing her decision, she decisively hung up the phone, giving Lily no chance to argue.
