Anna was intimate by the demon during the day, and she didn't pay attention to a small character like Lily.

"Expose me? Expose me for what?" Anna smiled and said, "My family and I are kind people. Bobby forced me to marry him, contrary to what the benevolent goddess of light taught. It was the goddess who punished him. What does his painful death in the sea of flames have to do with me?"

She paused, as if thinking of something, and then laughed. "Actually, I can’t say that I’m completely unrelated to it. After all, I am a devout goddess believer. I pray every day that the goddess can bless me and help my family through hardships and difficulties. Who would have guessed that my wish was fulfilled? The goddess is so kind."

"You...you’re speaking nonsense! The goddess treats everyone the same; how could it be possible to send a divine punishment to burn Bobby to death?" Lily retorted. "It’s obvious that you viciously set him on fire because you wanted to get rid of him!"

"The goddess teaches us to be benevolent. Bobby's actions are contrary to what the goddess preaches. Isn't it logical for the goddess to punish him? Or are you accusing the goddess of unfair punishment?" Anna's tone suddenly became serious. "If that’s what you mean, then I will expose your disrespect to the goddess to Father Louis!"

Lily was pale from Anna’s retort, and she almost jumped up with anger. "You are talking nonsense! I am a devout believer of the goddess; how could I accuse the goddess?"

"Even if you dare not condemn the goddess, what you and your mother did completely violated the goddess' teachings." Anna said. "You know that Bobby killed his wife, and still instigated Bobby to marry me. Isn’t that plotting my death? In terms of viciousness, I who did nothing, can’t compare to you and your mother.”

Lily probably didn't expect Anna to know that Bobby wanting to marry Anna was instigated by herself and her mother. Lily's face turned pale. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "You, don't talk nonsense! My mother and I didn't do that kind of thing!"

Anna chuckled. "Speaking of which, compared to me, you are more suspicious, aren’t you? Maybe Bobby discovered your sinister intentions and intended to stop cooperating with you. You were afraid that he would report you guys, and so you guys plotted his murder, burning him alive."

"No, we didn’t! Don't talk nonsense!" Lily was almost yelling. With difficulty, she suppressed her fear and anger, stared at Anna and said, "Clearly you were the one who did it!"

Anna sighed and shook her head. If it was Lily's mother Renee, she probably wouldn't care about what Anna said. Lily's rank was too low, and she felt that it would be a waste of her energy to continue to hash it out with Lily.

However, Lily and her mother instigated Bobby's troubles, and it would be really unbearable for her if she didn't do anything.

Anna suddenly got close to Lily and smiled slightly. This smile was not a formal one like in the past, and it was also not sweet. It was better to say that it was chilling.

"How could the kind of tasteless beer that Bobby can afford be set on fire, even if it was near the candlelight? Remember Bobby's son shouting about the god of death?" Anna looked Lily in the eye and chuckled. "That's not a god of death, but a four-star mage who is good at using fire spells. That's right, it's the second son of the duke who temporarily resides in the Lord's Mansion. Take a guess why he would come to Pomegranate Lane, a place that’s no better than the slums, and kill a civilian who he would never give his time of day to?"

As Anna spoke, she raised her hand and patted Lily's face gently. She continued in a muted tone: "Guess, who will be the next person to be burned to death by that noble mage?"

The only thing left in Lily’s eyes was panic. She yelped and slapped Anna's hand, then fled as if she was avoiding the plague.

Anna puffed up her cheeks to relax the muscles on her face, and couldn't help but mutter, “Coward.”

She had the courage to frame her, but she didn't have the courage to face the consequences.

Anna was only kidding. The demon thought that he could force Anna to pay a “price” for killing Bobby for her, but she didn't let him succeed. How would he go and kill others thanklessly?

Lily rushed back to her house and slammed the door shut, causing her mother to scold, "What are you doing!"

Lily's chest flew up and down, and there was a look of horror on her face. She quickly rushed to Renee, grabbed her arm, and said almost incoherently: "The mage...killed Bobby, and will kill us!"

Renee originally wanted to swat Lily's hand away, but she paused when she heard the words. She grabbed Lily's arm and asked sharply, "Where did you hear this from?"

"It’s-it’s Anna who said it!" Lily felt a pain in her arm, but she was not in the mood to care. She said hurriedly, "It was the four-star mage who temporarily lives in the earl's mansion that burned Bobby to death!"

Because Lily’s aunt Anna worked in the earl’s mansion, Lily’s family was very well informed. They all knew that there was a four-star mage temporarily living in the earl’s mansion. At the same time, they also vaguely heard about Anna often seeing the four-star mage.

Upon hearing Lily's words, Renee remembered the fear she felt after seeing Bobby's body.

She knew that Bobby was definitely not killed in an accident. Bobby liked to drink mild beer, and anyone who knew something about beer knew that mild beer could not cause a fire at all.

Bobby was burned to death on purpose.

"I knew it. That bitch Anna is young, but her heart is very vicious!" Renee gritted her teeth and said.

"Mama, then what shall we do!" Lily asked in a panic with red eyes.

Renee only hesitated for a moment. She said, "We will move out immediately!"
