Smen love fragile girls who cry at the drop of a hat, eyes shimmering with tears. But others find such
women insincere, too practiced, too manipulative.
Victor belonged to the latter. He had no patience for weepy, pleading theatrics.
Still, last night had been his fault. Whatever his feelings, he would not shirk responsibility.
He spoke coolly, voice clipped. “I'll have someone bring you clothes. After that, I'll take you hso we can
discuss an engagement.”
Engagement. Home.
The words nearly made Marilyn’s knees give out. She had done it-she was going to marry into Capital City’s first
family.
Soon she would be the Luke family’s second young mistress. A princess.
And Holly, Adeline, Millie? All of them would be beneath her heel. Everyone who had mocked or ignored her
would pay.
Word spread quickly. James returned to the family estate with Lily when he heard Victor was bringing a woman
home.
The whole Luke family was gathered in the sitting room, expectant.
Grace beamed, eyes crinkled with joy. “That boy Victor has always been married to his research. | worried he'd

Henry's chest swelled with happiness. He had already been elated at the thought of a great-grandchild from
James. Now, with Victor opening his heart, his joy doubled.
Blanc and Nancy exchanged smiles. They trusted Victor's judgment-surely any girl he chose would be as likable

At last, the front door opened,
Victor stepped inside with Marilyn/at his side.
The smile froze on Lily's lips.
Her stomach dropped. The girl/clinging to Victor's arm... was the ssecretary who had once deliberately
thrown herself into James's lap.
Ivan leapt up from the sofa, grinning. “Victor! You brought my future sister-in-law! Come, sit down, the two of
you-"

Then he saw her face.
His words cut off. His expression collapsed.
He hadn't seen it firsthand, but Ashton had told him. Over dinner, Ashton had described how Marilyn had tried to
latch onto James. Ivan had even shown her photo to the elders, and Grace herself had warned that the girl's eyes
were full of calculation.
He rubbed his eyes hard, praying he was mistaken.
But no. Standing there with a gentle smile, playing the part of the virtuous girl, was Marilyn.
Victor. His wise, brilliant Victor. Had he really lost his mind?
Ivan sank back into the sofa, stunned into silence. For once, the family chatterbox had nothing left to say.
“Victor, you must introduce-"

But when he saw Marilyn's face, his hand froze.
The box vanished back into his pocket.
