Chapter 1438: Chapter 1441: For Charles Coldwell, illegitimate children are like maggots (added 3 more)

"Hannah Coldwell... who is she?"

Over the phone, Richard Coldwell’s voice, cold as ice, drifted through.

"She claims she’s your sister, Marshal Coldwell’s daughter." Lily wasn’t sure if the indifference Richard showed was real or feigned.

After all, Marshal Coldwell had already sent someone to rescue her.

The air over the phone turned quiet for a few seconds, then Richard’s voice, icy as frost, rang out again.

"Oh, her."

Richard remembered—Lily Redington had specifically called him before to ask about his woman.

"Last time I told you, you can deal with anyone posing as a Coldwell. As for our Coldwell family, we absolutely do not acknowledge them. So, you hesitated and didn’t act?"

"I..." Lily paused, choked up by Richard’s question.

In the end, it seemed as if she was being accused by Richard.

"I was trying to extract information from her at the time, so I didn’t act."

In fact, besides this reason, there were two other reasons why she hadn’t dealt harshly with Hannah Ford.

First, although much tougher than before, Lily still could not bring herself to kill at will.

Second, because she knew that Hannah Ford wouldn’t live long—32 was her limit, and she had a few more years to leap around.

Hearing Lily’s response, Richard’s voice came through the phone, not quite approving, "Women’s hearts aren’t tough enough, Miss Redington, you wasted an opportunity."

Lily’s face flushed; she knew Richard was right.

She indeed had wasted an opportunity.

Her heart was too soft, even not tough enough to deal decisively with someone like Hannah Ford, or else today’s circumstance wouldn’t have arisen.

Lily pursed her lips, "Mr. Coldwell is right, I will remember Mr. Coldwell’s reminder. But what exactly is happening now, Mr. Coldwell, you better give me an explanation. You clearly told me this woman was not a Coldwell, why then is Marshal Coldwell sending someone to rescue her?"

"Don’t ask me, I’m not clear about Charles Coldwell’s affairs," Richard Coldwell stated coldly.

"My relationship with Charles Coldwell—if you aren’t aware—you could ask your brother. However, based on what I know of him, he wouldn’t truly care about that illegitimate daughter."

"How is that possible? He sent someone to save her."

"Huh." Richard coldly chuckled, "You probably don’t know, Charles Coldwell detests illegitimate children the most."

"To him, all illegitimate children are no different from maggots. So, don’t worry, let him save her if he wants to. They must have their rationale."

"But..."

Lily felt it was unbelievable and wanted to ask more, but Richard Coldwell hung up coldly before she could finish.

"Cold..." Lily almost couldn’t breathe due to the anger Richard Coldwell provoked.

David knew without asking how his sister had been treated by her ’best friend.’

"It’s alright, don’t be upset." David took the phone from Lily, stroking her back to soothe her.

"Richard is like that—speaks little and dislikes trouble. Next time I see him, I’ll reprimand him on your behalf, don’t be upset, be good."

"Never mind, I’m used to it." Lily sighed, shaking off the displeasure.

Almost every out of nine times dealing with Richard Coldwell, she was infuriated by his frigid actions.

She wondered how Erina, such an adorable sweetheart, could tolerate this big block of ice.

"But Dave, Richard said Marshal Coldwell loathes illegitimate children the most and wouldn’t possibly like Hannah Ford. So what’s going on now, why is he sending someone to rescue Hannah Ford?"

David frowned slightly, pondering Lily’s words.

He knew more about the Coldwell’s matters than outsiders, having a faint inclination in his mind, yet not daring to confirm it just yet.

At that moment, the interrogation room door opened.

Hannah Ford and the nearly disfigured Vivian Walters emerged from the interrogation room, accompanied by a lawyer and someone resembling a military officer.

Upon seeing Lily, Hannah Ford slightly lifted her chin, looking at Lily with a defiant glare.
