Chapter 40 Courtney Tries to Reach Lilian

Courtney immediately said, "It's not about that, brother. I've been trying to call Lilian, but she doesn't answer. I've sent her messages, but she doesn't reply. Can you call Francis and ask if something happened to her?"

Hearing that it was again about Lilian, he said unkindly, "You can't even get yourself out of trouble, but you want to meddle in someone else's affair. Don't you want to come out?"

"I don't care if I can come out or not. Please help me find out if Lilian is fine. She's an idiot. Even if Francis bullies her, she won't reveal a word."

Lester was stunned. That was right. Lilian was pregnant. If Francis had done something to her and she took it to heart...

"Got it. I'll call and ask. Don't worry. Although Francis doesn't love Lilian, they grew up together, and he has some feelings for her. He won't let her fall into trouble."

"You must be joking! The detestable man is heartless. Can you really expect him to have any feelings?"

Courtney was right. Francis was heartless. If he truly loved Julian, he would have divorced Lilian and married her a long time ago. He wouldn't maintain a marital relationship with Lilian while keeping ties with another woman.

"Okay, I'll ask," Lester interrupted her. Then he hung up the phone and called Francis.

Francis answered his call, but Lester didn't know how to start.

"What's up?"

Lester cleared his throat and said in a stiff tone, "Courtney can't reach Lilian. She wants to know how she's doing."

After two seconds of silence, Francis said sarcastically, "What? Are the Sachs family so interested in others' affairs?"

"Don't talk like that, Francis. Courtney and Lilian are friends. It's natural she worries about Lilian."

"Is that so?" Francis smiled, but his tone turned cold, "Lester, Courtney is your sister. I don't know her, but I don't believe you don't. You better keep your eye on her, or don't blame me for not warning you."

Francis hung up after that. Lester looked at the disconnected phone and heaved a helpless sigh.

Courtney was a little too unpredictable, not like a girl.

In fact, she had not used to be like this, but things changed two years ago. The family arranged a marriage for her, and she ran away in anger.

When she came back, she had short hair, dressed like a man, and declared that she didn't like men.

Once this news was spread, all those young men of the noble families in the Linkland City distanced themselves from her. But as her elder brother, he didn't believe her.

Yet, over the past two years, she had behaved more like a young man-racing cars, hanging out at bars, and riding motorcycles. Then he even began to change his mind.

Francis probably didn't believe it, either. But the recent events must have made him wary of her.

This time, she had gotten involved in Francis and Lilian's affair, which frightened her father, who was away on a business trip. Then he rushed back to the Linkland City overnight and locked her in

her room.

Lester snapped back to reality and called Courtney.

Courtney said, "Brother, go to her house and check on her."

Lester was slightly taken aback. "Are you kidding?"

"No, I'm not. I'm serious. Go take a look, please. Just take a look."

Lester immediately refused, "No. Under what name should I go there?"

"Lilian is pregnant. If something happens to her, can you forgive yourself?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"It has nothing to do with me."

Realizing that she couldn't persuade him, Courtney deliberately pushed open the window with great force. "Then I'll jump off the third floor?"

It was a loud noise, which Lester would definitely hear.
