Chapter 1155: 1155. This woman accompanied him throughout his childhood.

Adam Jones asked another question.

Seeing Lily Bankston give a bitter laugh, she said, "It’s not dead, it’s gone. I had a miscarriage."

For a moment, Adam Jones didn’t know what to say.

Lily, it seemed, didn’t need him to respond, as she went on,

"If that child were still alive, it would probably be around your age. So, when I look at you, I think of my own child."

Her gaze was somewhat vacant, and her voice, tinged with the chill of heartbreak.

She looked at Adam Jones and continued,

"My feelings for you are conflicted. You stole the fatherly love that should have belonged to my child. My child was lost because of you."

Back then, when Henry Jones proposed breaking up, he told her that Thompson Shuyi was pregnant with his child and that he had to take responsibility for her.

No matter how much she lowered her pride to hold onto him, it was to no avail. He still resolutely married Thompson Shuyi.

And for her, the day she discovered she was pregnant was the very day Henry Jones held his wedding ceremony with Thompson Shuyi.

She had thought she could let go of Henry Jones, that even if he married another woman, with her abilities, education, and looks, she could still live well.

But she underestimated how deep her feelings for Henry Jones were.

On the day of Henry Jones’s wedding, she still couldn’t resist going to the scene.

Later, when she ran out from the wedding venue, she nearly got hit by a passing car, and in her shock, she lost the child.

Until the day Henry Jones died, he never knew that there had been a child between them.

Lily didn’t say much to Adam Jones about the child, and it wasn’t in good taste for him to ask more.

Even though this woman had plotted to kill his father, at this moment, he couldn’t bring himself to tear open her wounds.

Especially since this woman had been with him throughout his entire childhood.

Regardless of her ultimate motives, he was willing to believe that she once truly loved him.

"Since that’s the case, why did you let Thompson Shuyi go?"

After all, according to Lily, it was Thompson Shuyi who conspired with Tony Wilson to scheme against his father. She should hate Thompson Shuyi even more.

Seeing Lily snort coldly, her haughty face showed a trace of contempt.

"Is she just a social butterfly, worthy of my time to deal with her?"

She scoffed indifferently, uncaring that the social butterfly she mentioned was the biological mother of the man before her.

"Besides, if it weren’t for Henry Jones’s faithlessness, no amount of scheming by Tony Wilson and the social butterfly could have made him marry her. In the end, it’s because a man devalues himself that he gives a woman a chance."

Lily’s expression was laden with heavy sarcasm.

Adam Jones momentarily didn’t know how to respond to Lily’s words.

Honestly, when it comes to matters of the heart, people like Lily who targeted only the scumbag men and not the mistresses weren’t that common.

Not only were they uncommon, but the way she handled things, either not acting or acting with lethal intent, was rare too.

Lily was an arrogant person, which is why she looked down on people like Thompson Shuyi. It was precisely because of this disdain that in her eyes, Thompson Shuyi didn’t even deserve the effort of retaliation.

Perhaps Thompson Shuyi should be grateful she was too insignificant to catch Lily’s eye, otherwise, if she ended up in Lily’s hands, she wouldn’t even know how she died.

"Because father betrayed you, you plotted his death?"

Adam Jones’s tone was very calm, showing no sign of anger.

Up to this moment, Lily showed no intention of defending herself but rather seemed to be casually chatting with Adam Jones.

She smiled faintly, then suddenly stood up.
