Chapter 952 Sincerity, the Ultimate Weapon Anthony glanced briefly at Violet, then turned slightly and reached out to wrap his arm around a petite woman's waist, whispering, "Come here." Lisa blinked and reluctantly glanced at the small windmill in the corridor above the private room.
It seemed like a good idea to pluck it and let Lilly play with it! Anthony understood her thoughts and sighed, saying, "You're such a child, even at your age." With his strong arm, he led Lisa inside.
Lisa pouted and muttered, "Speechless, you just don't understand!" Lilly saw Anthony and Lisa, immediately stood up, and enthusiastically exclaimed, "Uncle Anthony, Aunt Lisa!" Lisa immediately freed herself from Anthony and lifted Lilly, spinning her around. Her eyes sparkled like a constellation, filled with brightness.
"Lilly!" She affectionately nuzzled Lilly's cheek.
Seeing this "family of three," Violet suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
Three years ago, there was never a woman by Anthony's side! Even though he had two sons, there were numerous speculations, but Violet didn't see it as an issue.

Yes, a fool! It was said that Anthony had been taking care of her, patiently teaching her how to speak.
He even took her to parties, despite the many embarrassing incidents caused by that foolish woman, Anthony had always been understanding.
Violet thought, how could someone like her be deserving of Anthony? Therefore, seeing the scene before her, she felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if her boyfriend had been stolen away, and her heart was filled with sour jealousy.
"Mr. Anthony and Ms. Lisa seem to have a great relationship!" Violet pretended as if nothing was wrong and jokingly laughed.
But when someone has a bias in their heart, how can their words not have a flaw? For example, most people would address Lisa as Mrs. Crawford, but she referred to her as Ms. Lisa.
Anthony calmly said, "This is my wife, you should address her as Mrs. Crawford—don't make the same mistake next time." Violet fell silent.
Her silver teeth were grinding, and then she awkwardly smiled, saying, "Oh, it's all my fault. | was careless!" She made a gesture, appearing gracious and polite, saying, "Mr. Anthony, Mrs. Crawford, please have a seat." "| apologize for the trouble this time, especially arranging a welcome feast for my teacher..." She wore a smile and spoke courteous words.
She wanted to outclass Lisa in every way...
Anthony didn't even lift his head, just looking at Lawrence, he said, "No trouble at all. Mr. Lambert is also Lilly's teacher, and we have been neglectful as the Crawford family." Implied in his words was that he invited Lawrence to dine not because of her but solely because of Lilly.
Violet felt instantly embarrassed and mortified.
She tried to show her elegance and superiority, trying to outclass Lisa, but at this moment, Lisa completely ignored her as if she didn't exist.
While Violet engaged in hidden rivalry, Lisa remained indifferent.
Lilly leaned in close to Lisa's ear and asked softly, "Aunt Lisa, someone has taken a liking to Uncle Anthony..." Before she could finish her sentence, Lisa widened her eyes and said, "Who?" Laying eyes on Anthony meant laying eyes on the Crawford family's wealth. Coveting the Crawford family's wealth meant coveting Lilly's wealth...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was something that had to be stopped.
Seeing her strong reaction, Lilly held Lisa's hand immediately, signaling her to calm down.
Lawrence, being an elderly person, also sensed that something was amiss.
He furrowed his brow and glanced at Violet, scrutinizing her with his gaze.
Violet felt a sudden panic, hastily assuming a puzzled expression, "Mr. Lambert, what's wrong?" Lawrence waved his hand and didn't say anything.
But his heart sank, saying, "I remember you had an art exhibition today. Why did you suddenly come here? If you're busy, go take care of your matters!" Violet was momentarily speechless and stuttered, "It's nothing. Jay is taking care of the exhibition..." That might be true, but deep down, she felt unhappy. Lawrence, in Anthony's presence, actually wanted to send her away.
It shouldn't be like this...
Among Lawrence's many students, she was always his favorite. She didn't know what Lawrence had discovered, but subconsciously, she felt...
Even if Lawrence found out something, he should support her. After all, she was his proudest student! Violet composed herself, slightly annoyed, and said, "Mr. Lambert, it's been so long since | last saw you. Why would you chase me away as soon as you arrived? What could be more important than your return?" Lilly exclaimed, "That's right! Why didn’t Auntie Violet come to pick up Master Lambert earlier if there was nothing more important than him?" Wasn't everything less important than Master Lambert? So why didn't she appear at the beginning? Lilly, with her large eyes, looked at Violet in confusion.
It must be said that sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
Violet's face stiffened, unable to come up with a response for a moment...
