Chapter 1614: Chapter 1617: If you leave today, don't recognize me as your mother-in-law

At the moment the cell phone chimed, Emily Taylor's right hand, resting by her side, tightened imperceptibly.

She suppressed the urge to snatch the cell phone, merely glancing at the screen from the corner of her eye.

The usual place...

She had just seen the first three words when Lily picked up the phone.

"Mom, I have to go out for a bit; you rest at home, I'll be back soon," Lily glanced at the text message before turning off the screen.

Austin Lucas must have asked her out, there must be progress on the recording!

Lily, with the issue remaining on her mind, wanted to go out early and listen to the recording, taking her cell phone with her.

"Wait a moment—" Emily suddenly called out to Lily.

Her tone was slightly higher than usual, and it carried a sense of accusation, "Where are you going? Who sent you that text message just now!?"

Emily's slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her gaze at Lily was filled with a chilling doubt.
