Chapter 407 Triny’s Scheme, Part Two
Once the door closed behind them,
Jane looked at Triny with a sly smile. “That little act of yours was impressive, Triny; you had me fooled p>

Triny’s eyes flickered with panic as she stared at the sweet-looking girl. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about p>
Jane beamed. “How could you not understand? That shooter-wasn’t he someone you arranged yourself p>
“It wasn’t me,” Triny denied instantly.
Jane chuckled. “If you say so, then it wasn’t. No need to get so worked up; it’s not like I’m planning to run off and tell anyone. After all, we were once on the same boat, weren’t we p>
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Triny glared at her with resentment.
Jane flashed an innocent smile. “Why so impatient, Triny? I’m not asking you to do anything. Besides, if you really end up with Mr. Whitmore, I’ll be the first to give you my blessing p>
Triny gazed at Jane’s pure, harmless expression and suddenly felt drained. She slumped back against the bed. “Just go. I don’t want to see you right now.” She had thought she’d covered her tracks well; she never expected anyone else to notice.
Jane shrugged, still smiling. “Then rest up, Triny. Once you’re better, I have a big gift waiting for you.” With that, she bounced cheerfully out of the room.
As she watched the girl’s retreating figure, Triny snatched up the fruit basket from the table and hurled it to the floor. The fruit scattered in all directions.
When Sebastian and Lillian arrived at the hospital,
Leon and Morten were already in the ward.
Triny lay on the bed; when she saw Sebastian walk in, her face lit up with joy. Weakly, aid, “Sebastian, you came to see me p>
But before the words even settled, she noticed the young woman right behind him, and her expression froze.
Sebastian held Lillian’s hand. “Yes. My fiancée and I came together. After all, you were hurt because of me; it’s only right that we both check in on you p>

He signaled to Foster, who brought in armfuls of gifts-an assortment of health supplements.
“These were all carefully chosen by my fiancée,” Sebastian explained. “We hope they’ll help with your recovery p>
Triny looked at the calm expression on his face, her heart stinging. “You didn’t have to. Just having you come here is enough for me p>
Lillian smiled politely. “Please accept them, Ms. Triny. It’s just a small token from both of us. And truthfully, if it weren’t for you last night, my fiancé might have been the one injured. So, as a gesture of our gratitude, please don’t refuse p>
Triny gave her a weary look. “I saved Sebastian because I wanted to. I don’t need him to thank me; as long as he’s safe, I’m content p>
“I never imagined you’d be so selfless, Ms. Triny. It seems I underestimated you.” Lillian’s smile didn’t falter. “In that case, please focus on recovering. No matter the cost, my fiancé and I will take care of it. But since you’re still unmarried, I’d hate for people to gossip. So if you need anything, please contact Foster directly; he’ll handle it for you p>
Leon stood abruptly. “Don’t you think that’s a bit much, Ms. Harrington? Triny was injured because of Sebastian; doesn’t he owe her at least a proper visit p>
Triny’s eyes reddened, tears brimming as she turned to Lillian. “Ms. Harrington, I never intended to take Sebastian from you. I only hoped he might visit me when he had the time- that would have been enough p>
