Chapter 115

Lily Lawson was pacing around in her room. She had just escaped humiliation by mere luck. "That boy dared to get me arrested!" She spat angrily.

"We need to act fast! That silly girl he brought home must have told him about your visit!" Benson said.

"Even if she did, so he wanted to arrest me for riling her up a bit? Shit!" Lily cried out. "Look at how low we have fallen Benson! I was almost arrested! Sent to orison! Oh my God!" She exclaimed holding her head.

She had still been sleeping when the police had come knocking in their door. For the first time the police came to the Lawson's mansion and they had come for her. Not the foolish grandson Calhoun, but her!

"Oh what embarrassment! Benson how can I face my friends now?" She cried out.

Benson took a deep breathe and walked to his wife. He stopped her from moving about and held her shoulder. "Stop thinking so much about it. Nothing happened and that's what we should be grateful for. When all this us over, Calhoun will become broke! No one would want to associate with him anymore, then we shall have our revenge!" He said and Lily hugged him .

"Oh Benson, thank you for always supporting me! Thank you so much!" She whispered.

A knock on their door made them break apart as they both feared the police had come back again.

"Aunt Lily?" Rosa's tiny voice came in through the key hole.

Lily rolled her eyes and refused to respond.

"Yes?" Benson answered instead frowning at his wife. He moved to the door and pulled it open. "Hey little girl, what do you want?" He asked her with a toothy smile.

"Grandfather said he wanted to speak with aunt Lily," she informed. Without waiting for their response, she walked away from their room door to continue whatever she had been doing before Grandfather asked her to call Lily.

Benson closed the door and went back to his wife. She was now sitting on the bed and he sat beside her.

"What did the little brat want now?" She hissed.

"Lily, we are in a difficult situation and until we come out of it, you need to treat everyone equally." Benson advised. "We need to be in very good behavior, do you understand?"

"Yes, I do." She pulled her hair away from her face and turned to the window. She would just have to hurry up with their plan so they could get enough money from Alice Brentwood and leave this degrading situation.

"Rosa said father wanted to see you. You should go right now and make sure you thank him for helping you out with the police," Benson told her.

"Okay," she said getting up from the seat. If there was one thing she knew she was good at, it was manipulation. Grandfather already didn't like Ariana, all she had to do was instigate more hateful things about her into his mind and there would be war between them.

She walked out of her room and went out of their wing in the big mansion. Grandfather was probably in his office which was the part of the house he spent most of his time in. So she went there first and just like she thought he was right there waiting for her.

"Lily, please sit," he ordered as soon as she stepped into the office.

"Father thank you so much for having my back. I don't know what I would have done if Calhoun had arrested me like he planned too!" She said feigning tears.

"It's okay. You can forget all that. You are my daughter in-law. By all rights you are as much a Lawson like anyone else in this house." He affirmed.

"Thank you father," She said with a big smile. Talks like this made her feel like the old man might have left a tiny little property in her name at least.

"You are welcome..." He trailed putting away the papers he had been reading. "I want to know why you went to Calhoun's so called girl," he said.

"I was only concerned father..." Lily started. She calculated each of her words so they could get directly into him. "When Noah and Matt mentioned that they knew her from a video and all of that, I became worried of the kind person she was... I know Calhoun and I are not so close but I wouldn't want him to end up in an unhappy marriage."

"True, you are right," Mr Lawson senior nodded.

"Father you see, I found out that she is a very cheap woman. You can ask Alice about her if you want. They went to the sane high school and back then this girl only rich boys. She changed boyfriends like ear rings," Lily said in a low voice.

"In fact, she was working for Alice but got fired because she slept with Sofia Brentwood's boyfriend."

"What?" Mr. Lawson exclaimed.

"Yes, father it's that terrible. I couldn't keep all these that was why I went to her! I had to make her understand that we were a tight family. We might not look so close but I won't sit back and watch her break our Calhoun!" Lily lied through her teeth.

"These things you say are too much to even think of. So that girl is of questionable character? So hard to believe..." Mr. Lawson mumbled.

"Yes father, that's why I told her to stay way from him. She must have told him lies! That's why he sent police to get me," Lily finished with a pout.

"Hmm, I will speak to the Brentwood sisters and confirm what you gave told me. If it is true then Calhoun can't be with such a woman," he concluded.

When Lily left the office, she was full of smiles. Knowing Calhoun, he would never listen to his grandfather. He would insist on that street midget and his grandfather would cut him off the inheritance and share it to Lily's boys.

Every sub plan of hers had an advantage. There was no way she was going to end this episode of her life and not swim in money!
