Unrepairable Love
Chapter 241
Lily gave a slight smile and nod, a simple greeting. She soon followed and entered the venue. Unbeknownst to her, a black car nearby lowered its window. The driver whispered, โMiss, sheโs gone in.โ
As soon as Lily appeared, she became the center of attention. Everyone knew the Tudor family was the most powerful in Lisbun. After her husband passed away, Lily kept the Tudor family strong. Even though Alexander and Blake were capable, Lily still held the reins.
โMrs. Tudor!โ Someone greeted her warmly.
Lily nodded calmly, used to the respect in such circles. She once had a friend, and they were both well-known in Lisbun, equals in status.
โLily!โ A voice interrupted her thoughts. It was Melissa, the host of the gathering. โFinally, youโre here!โ Melissa greeted her warmly and shook her hand.
Though Lily was seventy, she looked youthful, standing confidently next to someone in their fifties.
โAm I late?โ Lily asked with a smile.
Melissa quickly shook her head. โNot at all!โ Melissa led Lily to the main seat. Once Lily sat down, the other women followed suit. There were just over thirty people, all powerful.
โMrs. Tudor, how have you been feeling lately?โ A young girl asked.
Lily nodded. โQuite well.โ
โMrs. Tudor, you should come out more often,โ an older person joked.
Lily laughed, sipped her coffee, and said, โYes, thatโs my plan. Chatting and having coffee with you allโฆโ
Everyone laughed along.
โBy the way, how are Alexander and his wife? I saw the press conference yesterday,โ someone asked.
Alexander and Esmeโs press conference was a hot topic. Lily glanced at the gaudy woman, Karen Martinez, known for her gossip.
Though this was a social gathering, Lily didnโt want her familyโs affairs discussed.
โTheyโre doing well, thank you for asking,โ Lily replied politely.
A few exchanged glances that said no more. Sensing the awkwardness, Melissa quickly changed the subject. โLetโs not talk about that! Anyone heard about the upcoming entertainment gala? Keep an eye on your men!โ
Everyone laughed.
Karen twirled her hair and laughed. โLuckily, my husband isnโt attending!โ
Another woman added, โThose attending should worry, I heard many actresses will be there!โ
Lily frowned, uninterested in the topic. She was just here to make an appearance.
While everyone chatted, several news notifications popped up on their phones. Lily picked up her phone to take a quick look, but her face turned gloomy. Everyone turned to Lily, wide-eyed. Lily gripped her phone tightly, her gaze growing cold and stern.
