Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 139

Lily's chest heaved heavily, her face turning bright red.

At that moment, all she felt was anger and hatred toward Hayden. She had no idea how to make Hayden go along with her, which only pushed her fury to its peak.

"Friend, since you're done with your thing, why don't you come with me, and we can have a little talk?" Wagner said calmly as he gestured to Hayden to go with him.

Hayden was wary, but he was able to confirm one thing—this old man should have no relation to the Sterling family. Otherwise, Lily would've recognized him.

However, he was muttering strange things and claimed to be medically trained.

Could he be a con artist?

Hayden was still suspicious and decided to reject him. However, that only made Lily boil over with rage.

"Get out of the way! I'm not done with him. Why are you interrupting? Do you think you can act as you please just because of your age? If you're with him, then you're probably someone questionable as well! Birds of a feather flock together!"

Lily rolled her eyes, then placed her hands on her hips, pouting contemptuously. At that moment, she was like a live volcano on the verge of erupting.

She felt a lot better after letting everything out.

"Lily, have you no manners? How can you disrespect the elderly like that? Is that how the Sterling family raised you? What a surprise!" Hayden couldn't help but start lecturing her.

His upbringing and sense of responsibility wouldn't allow him to tolerate Lily's behavior!

"Calm down, boy. She's not worth your time. Look at me, I don't even care, so why should you?" Wagner said calmly. He was full of smiles as he tugged at Hayden.

The young man that piqued James' interest was quite the character!

"My friend, there's no need to get angry over this. Elevated blood pressure isn't good for your health. It's not worth risking your health over this," Wagner advised once more.

He couldn't be bothered by the insults, and he didn't want Hayden to be bothered by it either.

"Who are you to determine if it's worth it or not? Who do you think you are?" Lily screamed at Wagner, her expression turning sour.

This time, her words disappointed Wagner, causing him to shake his head helplessly. He observed Lily carefully, then fell silent.

"Young lady, your bad temper is caused by the feelings you bottled up within you. The more you bottle up, the worse your temper gets, and the more it'll affect your health. I advise you to lighten up and be nice to others and yourself to prevent health complications in the future!"
