Chapter 58 She is SweetLemon
When Austin finished speaking, he wasn't entirely sure of himself.
Lily had been changing a lot lately.
But he felt that no matter how angry Lily got, she wouldn't do something like this; she was just acting out of spite.
Austin thought that Lily was definitely still on his side.
Lily watched coldly from the sidelines, a mocking smile playing on her lips. The Roberts family members were as confident as ever.
Lily turned and walked towards the registration table.
Violet, feeling indignant, said, "Sophie has no right to guilt-trip you. You can sign with any platform you want."
"I won't let them guilt-trip me."
Lily reached the registration table, and Sophie's voice rang out behind her: "Lily, what are you doing here?"
Sophie was dressed in a lavish evening gown, adorned with expensive jewelry, looking like a princess as she appeared before Lily, feeling ecstatic.
After all, now that Lily had been kicked out of the Roberts family, Sophie was the only heiress left.
She had finally stepped on Lily.
Sophie deliberately touched the necklace around her neck and said with false kindness, "Lily, if you wanted to come to this event, you could have told me. I bought extra dresses last time and could have lent you one. Look at how shabby you're dressed."
Lily's expression was distant: "Why would I talk to you?"
Austin stared at Lily's dress, hoping that after experiencing some hardship, Lily would understand the value of the Roberts family and come back obediently.
Sophie gritted her teeth. "Today's event is invitation-only. You and Violet wouldn't have come here as part-time greeters, would you?"
That was the only possibility!
When Austin heard the term "greeter," he frowned and looked at Lily. "You left home with such ambition, only to take on a small part-time job like this? If outsiders found out, what would they think of the Roberts family?"
Violet couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "Lily achieved twelve consecutive wins and turned the tide in the revival competition. How could she possibly take on a small part-time job here!"
With Violet's words, people nearby started paying attention.
"She's Lily?"
"I've heard she achieved twelve consecutive wins, which is King's signature move. I didn't realize she was so young!"
Reporters, hearing the commotion, rushed over and surrounded Lily. "Ms. Roberts, how did you learn the twelve consecutive wins move? What's your relationship with King?"
Lily answered calmly, "I'm a fan of King. It was a coincidence that I performed the twelve consecutive wins. Just luck."
Seeing Lily surrounded by reporters, Sophie felt a pang of jealousy.
A coincidence performing twelve consecutive wins—was it really that special?
"Ms. Roberts, you're so talented. What are your thoughts on the Titan Team finals? Do you think they can win the championship?"
Lily didn't expect the reporter to ask this.
Were they assuming she was part of the Titan Team?
Lily's eyes were cold as she replied, "I don't know. I'm not part of the Titan Team."
The reporters were stunned.
That was unbelievable. Could the rumors about Lily being at odds with the family be true?
A reporter directly questioned Austin, "Mr. Roberts, do you have anything to say about this? Why isn't Ms. Roberts part of the team?"
"I've heard Ms. Roberts conflicts with you. Is that true?"
"Mr. Roberts, you just confidently stated she would join the Titan Team."
Facing the reporters' questions, Austin opened his mouth but found himself unable to say a word.
He glared at Lily.
How dare she speak like this in front of the reporters?
Wasn't she afraid he would really get angry?
Sophie, holding Austin's arm, smiled and said, "Lily is just having a little spat with the family. After all, we're family. She has benefited from years of training, which has made her so skilled. I believe Lily wouldn't do something so ungrateful."
Violet couldn't take it anymore. "Sophie, do you even realize what nonsense you're spouting?"
The truth was nothing like that.
Sophie was deliberately misleading the reporters.
Lily pressed Violet's hand down and answered calmly, "But it was Austin who personally kicked me out of the team. He found a very talented gunner to take my place."
A reporter picked up on her words. "If I'm not mistaken, that would be the streamer ‘SweetLemon, who's also a gunner and quite skilled!"
"I've heard SweetLemon will be here, but no one knows what she looks like."
The reporter glanced at Lily, because there was another rumor that Lily was SweetLemon.
Sophie didn't want to stay outside any longer. She took out her invitation and handed it over, then looked at Lily and said, "Lily, sorry, but an invitation can only bring one person inside."
No matter how Lily disguised herself, she was just here as a part-time greeter.
Austin had only brought Sophie to this event to teach Lily a lesson, and she must be fuming.
Austin looked at Lily, his tone somewhat harsh, "I didn't know you wanted to come too. Next time, let me know earlier."
He could have gotten another invitation, but he chose to ignore Lily to teach her a lesson.
Lily's expression remained calm. "No need."
"Austin, how could you be so careless? Are we the Roberts family short on invitations?"
Michael walked in from outside, appearing suave and elegant.
Reporters immediately questioned him, "Mr. Michael Roberts, are you attending this event for the streamer 'SweetLemon'?"
"I've heard you have a close relationship with SweetLemon. Can you explain?"
Michael smiled. "I do have a close relationship with that streamer, and I'm here for her."
The reporters instantly became intrigued.
It seemed there was indeed a story here.
Michael looked at Lily. "Lily, let me take you inside."
Michael extended his hand to her; at that moment, Lily shouldn't refuse his help.
He wanted Lily to see how tough life could be after leaving the Roberts family.
Lily glanced at him. "No need, I can get in myself."
Sophie couldn't help but ask, "Lily, the event is invitation-only. Do you have an invitation?"
"Yes."
Lily calmly took an invitation out of her bag and placed it on the table.
Violet looked at Sophie smugly. "See? This is an invitation! Lily was formally invited! Unlike some parasites!"
Sophie was infuriated. "Lily, didn't you say you wouldn't rely on the Roberts family?"
If Lily wasn't relying on the Roberts family, how could she have gotten an invitation?
Austin stared at the invitation, incredulous. "Lily, how did you get this?"
"Because she is SweetLemon!"
