Chapter 518

Olivia and Lily fell silent as Jenny had misunderstood the entire situation. "Where did you hear these false rumors, Jenny? I have no relationship with Mr. Russell," Olivia said, raising both hands in protest of the accusation. Alexander's wife stood beside her; Olivia dared not claim Lily's position.

Jenny thought Olivia was being evasive. Patting Olivia's shoulder, she said, "Oh, you don't need to pretend. There are no outsiders here. The photos clearly show you two together. Are you waiting until the wedding to tell us the truth?"

"Photos? What photos?" Lily's voice held a note of alarm.

"They're everywhere—newspapers, magazines, social media. Didn't you see them?" Jenny was more surprised than the others. How could they be unaware of such shocking news? The two women shook their heads simultaneously, exchanging a look. They had been preoccupied with personal matters and hadn't paid attention to the news. They knew nothing of the photos Jenny mentioned.

"Oh, my goodness," Jenny said helplessly, pulling out her phone and finding a relevant article. "Look at these photos. That's Mr. Russell, and that's you, right?" She pointed at the photo, looking at Olivia.

Olivia was shocked. "W-What?"

"From this angle, it looks like me, and Mr. Russell seems to be looking at me. But the photo is blurry."

"Others might not recognize you, but I know you instantly. Why are you hiding it? Just be honest!" Jenny playfully tickled Olivia, who giggled and tried to escape.

"Help me hold her, Lily! We need to get the truth!"

"Jenny, you recognize me, but did you see the other people in the photo besides Mr. Russell and me?" Olivia asked, looking at Lily. She wanted to know how Lily wanted to handle this.

"Other people?" Jenny paused, examining the phone. Squinting, she said, "Hospital staff and Mr. Russell's bodyguard. Do you think I'm a fool?! How could you keep this from us? Do you even consider us friends? Don't you agree, Lily?" Jenny sought Lily's confirmation, but Lily remained silent. "Lily?"

"I should have told you sooner, Jenny. But…" Lily touched her nose, looking at Jenny. "Actually, the person in a relationship with Alex isn't Liv."

"Not Liv? Who is it?" Jenny's eyes widened. Something felt wrong. She looked back and forth between Lily and Olivia, then recalled their words. Zooming in on the photo, she finally saw a partially obscured figure at the edge. As she'd said, she recognized the person instantly.
