Marilyn had walked into the Luke estate with visions of glory. In her mind, Henry would hand her a bank card
worth billions, Grace would shower her with priceless jewels, and she would rise instantly to the heavens as the
Luke family’s mistress.
But she waited. And waited.
No card. No jewels. Not even a single penny.
Her smile stiffened. Then her gaze slid to Lily.
On Lily’s ears glimmered red diamond earrings. Around her neck, a matching necklace. On her wrist, a bracelet
from the scollection.
Marilyn's breath hitched. She had seen that set before-in a high-end boutique, nearly thirty million for the
complete set. She had begged her former patron for just the earrings, a few million at most. He had sneered,
said she wasn’t worthy, and grudgingly bought her a fifty-thousand-dollars handbag instead.
And now? That very set adorned Lily, the woman she despised most.
It couldn't be hers. The Luke family must have gifted it.
Her nails bit into her palms. Why did Lily deserve jewels that she had been denied? Why was the Luke family
cold to her, yet so generous to that “cheap little bitch“?
Her fury only deepened when she remembered what Elsa had said-Lily was pregnant.
If Lily bore a son, the family’s first grandson, he would be heir to everything. With her honeyed tongue and the
elders’ obvious affection, she and her child would only be showered with more wealth.

No. The Luke family’s fortune belonged to her,, to Marilyn. She would never let Lily give birth to that bastard.
Upstairs, Victor excused himself to fetch something from his study, Marilyn trailing behind.
As soon as they left, Henry groaned, clutching his chest. “That boy... Victor, what a mess.”
Grace sighed, patting the jewelry box she had hidden behind her. “It’s not that | want to slight him. But giving
one of my treasures to that scheming girl... | can’t stomach it.”
Nancy nodded. Her fingers traced the imperial green jade bracelet on her wrist. “Victor owns plenty of villas.
Blanc, tell him to live in one of those with Marilyn. Better she not stay here in the estate.”
When Victor had been buried in work, she had worried he wasn't eating or resting. She had longed for him to
chome.
But now? The thought of Marilyn under the sroof made her skin crawl. That girl reeked of trouble. If she
lived here, she would only poison the household.
Blanc squeezed his wife's hand. “Don’t worry. I'll speak to him. If he has any sense, he'll keep her away

Now, six gowns-each more exquisite than the last-were ready. And Lily, with her beauty, would outshine even
the most ethereal goddess in them.
“Mom... thank you,” Lily whispered, her voice trembling with both surprise and gratitude. She had admired Lars’s
work from afar, never daring to dream she would one day wear his creations.
James's expression darkened faintly.

He was still stewing in that sourness when Nancy spoke again. “I think the eighteenth of next month is a fine
day. Lily, James-what do you say to marrying then?”
