Chapter 305 Lily, Today You Must Become a Member of the Gonzalez Family

Lily had seriously underestimated just how shameless James could be.

Had he been this shameless in her past life? But back then, she didn't have much contact with him.

After all, Sophie had already been with Ethan at that time, doing everything she could to marry into the Murphy Family. There had been no mention of anything between James and Sophie.

James cursed in frustration, "Lily, I'm still your brother. Is it really that hard for you to pay the bill?"

"In your dreams." Lily didn't want to waste another second there, so she turned and left the private room.

Behind her, she heard James telling Austin to pay. He even brought the allowance he had given Austin when he was a child, demanding Austin pay him back now.

Lily couldn't help but laugh out loud.She had never expected James could be this shameless.

But today, she had certainly been thoroughly entertained watching Sophie make a fool of herself.

After today's incident, Lily was curious to see if David could keep tolerating Sophie while still talk about being "one family."

Honestly, she was kind of looking forward to it.

Lily walked alone to the entrance of The Velvet Vine and suddenly glanced back at the window of the private room where she and Dennis had dinner last time.

Back then, they had stood by that window, kissing.

Suddenly, Lily saw a convoy of luxury cars pulling up along the roadside. She was stunned—clearly someone important was coming here to eat.

She instinctively moved aside, but several bodyguards in black uniforms got out of the cars and walked straight toward her.

Lily's eyes showed a flash of surprise. What was going on?

The bodyguards lined up in two rows and spoke in unison, "Ms. Roberts, please get in the car."

Lily was startled. "Are you sure you have the right person?"

"Ms. Roberts, Mrs. Gonzalez specifically sent us to pick you up."

Mrs. Gonzalez?

Lily thought about her relationship with Dennis. That day at The Velvet Vine's elevator when she ran into Celeste and Olivia, Celeste should know who she was by now.

She looked at the bodyguards, roughly guessing what Celeste wanted to talk to her about.

Just then, Lily received a message from Celeste on WeChat: [The driver was sent by me, don't worry.]

After reading the message, Lily didn't hesitate and got in the car with the bodyguards.

"Lily, where are you going?"

After Lily got in the car, she saw the Roberts family coming out of The Velvet Vine, but both James and Sophie looked pretty upset.

She wondered who ended up paying the bill.

Lily ignored Austin standing outside and drove away.

Austin chased after them for a few steps, then anxiously called Lily, but she didn't answer.

"Austin, where did Lily go?"

When Sophie saw the convoy of luxury cars, she was burning with jealousy. Those cars looked incredibly expensive—who had come to pick Lily up?

Austin looked at the convoy, feeling a bit worried. "I don't know either. She didn't answer my call."

James wheeled himself over, covered in soup, and said viciously, "I really underestimated Lily. No wonder she's getting more and more arrogant. Has she found herself some powerful backing?"

Sophie looked puzzled. "But I haven't heard of Lily knowing anyone powerful. Could it be Mrs. Gonzalez?"

James sneered, "What kind of status does Mrs. Gonzalez have? Why would she specifically send a car to pick up Lily? Is she worth that kind of treatment?"

Sophie thought that made sense.

Austin was still a bit worried so he sent Lily a message: [Whose car did you leave in? If anything happens, call me right away.]

Lily glanced at the message on her phone but didn't reply in the end.

There was no need to tell the Roberts family about her relationship with the Gonzalez family anyway.

Soon, Lily arrived at a beauty salon.

After getting out of the car, she looked around. This beauty salon looked very upscale—truly a place for wealthy ladies.

Soon, someone came up to Lily. "Ms. Roberts, please come with me."

Lily followed them inside, changed into the salon's clothes, and entered a private room where she saw Celeste lying on a chair with a face mask on.

"Lily, you're here?" Celeste sat up. "You should lie down and try it too. This beauty salon's technique is pretty good."

Before Lily could say anything, she was pressed down onto the reclining chair, something was applied to her face, and someone started massaging her.

Lily felt somewhat anxious, but mostly confused.

Celeste should know about her relationship with Dennis by now. According to the usual script, shouldn't Celeste just hand her a check and tell her to leave Dennis?

Lily couldn't quite understand what Celeste was trying to do.

After the massage ended, Lily felt much more relaxed. She sat up and looked at Celeste. "You didn't ask me here just for a massage, did you?"

"You guessed right, there's something else." Celeste clapped her hands, and people brought over many gift bags, practically surrounding Lily.

Lily glanced at these bags. "Mrs. Gonzalez, just say what you want to say directly. There's no need for all this buildup."

Celeste waved for everyone to leave.

She looked at Lily and couldn't help but sigh. "I know this will make our relationship awkward."

Before knowing who Lily was, Celeste had genuinely liked her quite a bit.

Lily spoke up first. "Dennis and I have already broken up."

"What?"

Celeste's expression showed surprise and disbelief. After all, she had tried so hard to convince Dennis to break up with Lily before, but never succeeded.

Celeste suddenly became nervous. Did Lily know everything?

Lily's tone was calm. "Because he kept hiding his identity while we were dating. I think that kind of behavior is deceptive, so I broke up with him."

Celeste looked at Lily, her eyes filled with guilt.

In that case, Dennis probably hadn't told her about the car accident yet.

Celeste stepped forward and took Lily's hand. "This is indeed the Gonzalez family's fault. So I want to make it up to you. Lily, would you be willing to become my goddaughter?"

Goddaughter?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lily's eyes. So this was how Celeste wanted to make amends?

Celeste held her hand. "Lily, I don't mean to humiliate you. If you become my goddaughter, no one will dare bully you anymore."

Celeste truly wanted to make up for the mistakes of the past.

Especially after learning that Lily wasn't doing well in the Roberts family, Celeste hadn't slept well for days.

Faced with Celeste's kindness, Lily felt somewhat uncomfortable. "Mrs. Gonzalez, you don't need to do this. Dennis and I really broke up, and I won't bother him in the future."

"This has nothing to do with him. I simply want a daughter. I've prepared lots of gifts for you—take them all."

Lily looked at the box Celeste handed her. Opening it, she saw a set of luxury car keys and a stack of property deeds.

Now Lily was truly shocked.

Celeste didn't hand her a check to leave, but instead gave her luxury cars and mansions?

Before Lily could recover, Celeste handed her a document. "I'm very sincere about this. After you become my daughter, you can inherit all my assets. You just need to sign, and you'll own the assets listed in this document."

Lily glanced at the assets in the document—there were even shares. All of this added up to hundreds of millions of dollars, didn't it?

Yet Celeste was practically pulling her hand, ready to make her sign on the spot.

Lily didn't move. "Mrs. Gonzalez."

"Call me Celeste, or Mom. You must accept these gifts today! You must become part of the Gonzalez family today!"
