Spoiled by Mr Russell

Chapter 622
“Hehe...” she chuckled.
The abrupt laughter startled everyone in the room, as doing so was unseemly amid the solemness of the mourning hall. It gave
the impression that Lily did not take the deceased or the elders seriously.
As the eldest, Jonathan darkened his face and said solemnly, “Lily! Don’t be so rude in front of your grandfather’s casket! How
dare you laugh? How do you honor your grandfather who raised you?!”
“Granduncle Jonathan, how could I not laugh at this ridiculous soap opera at my grandfather’s memorial? If Grandpa is in
heaven right now, he’ll have a good laugh at this. Don’t
you think so? He just passed away, and some people can’t wait to make waves.”
Henry glared at her. “Who do you think is making waves?”
“I’m sure the one that’s making waves knows best!” Lily turned the tables on him by boldly staring into his eyes and slowly
approaching him. “Uncle Henry! While I call you uncle out of respect for your age and experience, I advise you to be honest.”
“Everyone here knows how many years you’ve been kicked out of the Lodge family by Grandpa, and no one mentions it for the
sake of your reputation. Do you think we don’t remember? It’s reasonable for you to come home for Grandpa’s funeral and
nobody objects to it. However, if you use this to make waves, I’m sorry, but please get out of the Lodge family!”
She admonished him harshly and pointed at the door with one finger.
Henry’s eyes widened as he took in the formidable young woman who stood before him, her height barely reaching his shoulders
as she attempted to command him.
Henry stumbled backward before he regained his senses and stood firm. “What a joke! My surname is Lodge which makes me a
true blue Lodge. You’re just an outsider with the surname. Christian. What right do you have to tell me to leave? Lily, when your
grandfather was alive, he thought you were a young and helpless orphan. That’s why he raised you in the Lodge family, but don’t
forget. You’ll never be a Lodge!”
“What year is it, Uncle Henry, if you’re still here discussing family surnames? In this reality, surnames have no bearing on the
closeness of a relationship. It’s hard to predict human behavior!” Lily glanced at Justin and smiled. “You said that I poisoned the

scented candle. Sure, where’s the evidence?”
Reaching out to Henry, she said, “In a law–abiding society, everything requires proof. If you think something was wrong with the
scented candle, please show me the lab
report that says I’d poisoned it. Show me the evidence, too. Even with murder and arson, there would be at motive. Why would I
do this to myself?”
Did he want to convict her with baseless allegations?
“I knew you’d say that!” Henry was not at a loss for words in response to her probing, but looked as though she had fallen into
his trap.
With two claps of his hand, someone came up to present him with what looked like a document. Many copies were also given
out to the elders at the same time.
Henry shook the document in his hand. “Did you think I’d stand here and lecture you without evidence? I’m your elder. Won’t I
know how to be convincing when I do things? Keep your eyes open and take a good look at this!”
Slam!
The piece of document was slammed down. Lily reached out for it and then looked down. It was the lab results. Henry also got
the scented candles for examination. He was fast as he came. prepared!
Although there were a lot of technical terminologies, she could quickly grasp the findings with just a few glances. To sum up,
there was a lethal toxin in the scented candle. Long–term exposure to even a tiny amount through inhalation was fatal.
“Elders, you’re all aware that my father wasn’t in good health recently. Although I was abroad, I was concerned about the Lodge
family and searched for a capable doctor to treat my father. I didn’t expect it to be a step late,” Henry said to the crowd.
His face was pained as he continued, “If my father died of an illness without a cure, then I have nothing to say. I’d just hate
myself for not being able to see him one last time. However, if my father was murdered, I’ll never forgive the culprit! No matter
who that person is!”
