Why were they looking at her like that?

No, it had to be because of Lily. They must have been disgusted by her, not her- the pitiful victim.
Yes, that was it. She was innocent, Lily was the cruel aggressor. Of course the Luke family men would despise
Lily.
Convinced of her own story, Marilyn wept harder, tears spilling in streams, her voice trembling as if the whole
world had wronged her.
“My face is swollen from her hitting me. Victor, it hurts... it hurts so much...”
But the more she cried, the darker the expressions of the four Luke men became.
Blanc and Ivan didn’t believe for a second that Lily would strike without cause. Marilyn's character was plainly
rotten; no amount of tears could change that.
Even Victor's eyes grew cold with disappointment as he looked at her.
He trusted James's judgment, and he had interacted with Lily himself. His sister- in-law was not the sort to bully
others without reason.
Marilyn, on the other hand, had only continued to let him down. Earlier today, he had seen her demand a servant
bring her juice-only to throw it in the servant’s face when the taste didn’t please her.
She had sneered that servants were lowly, unworthy.
Lowly? And what exactly did she think she was?
James's gaze was sharp as ice.
He instantly noticed the diamond necklaces dangling from Marilyn's throat, the diamond watch and bracelet on
her wrist, the ruby earrings in her ears.
He had bought every one of those pieces for Lily. What were they doing on

Marilyn?
“What happened here?”

From downstairs, Henry, Grace, and Nancy had heard the commotion and quickly cup in the elevator.
“Grandfather, Grandmother, Mother...”
Seeing the elders, Marilyn cried even harder, her voice catching as though she could barely speak.
“Look at what Lily did to me...”
“I'm Victor's savior. | even gave him my body. | am your Luke family daughter-in- law. How could she hit me,
humiliatelike this?”
Henry, Grace, and Nancy exchanged heavy looks.
Gratitude for saving a life should indeed be repaid. But Marilyn wielded those words like a weapon, parading
them at every opportunity-it left a sour taste in their mouths.
And they had already asked Victor about the night before. They knew he had been drugged, that the girl had
been trapped as well. The two had simply helped each other. Yet Marilyn painted it as if she alone had sacrificed
everything to save him.
“I don’t believe Lily would ever hit someone for no reason. If she struck you, you must have done something to
cross her line.”
then
“Lily doesn’t bully people,” James and Ivan said almost at the stime, their voices sharp, cutting through
Marilyn's sobbing.
“She did it on purpose!”
Marilyn's face throbbed with pain, her cheeks swollen, but even then James and Ivan sided with Lily. The injustice
burned her to the core.
She lifted her glistening eyes toward them, looking wounded, betrayed. “She slappeda dozen times. It hurt
so much... | really hurt...”
But Victor's gaze stayed cold. “Lily has always been fair and clear about right and

chat?”
Of course she hadn't.
She had overheard from the servants that the vast three-hundred-square-meter suite on the second floor had
been given to Lily. She had gone out of curiosity.
And what she found there—so many jewels, limited-edition handbags, watches- had left her burning with greed.
They were too fine for Lily, a mere foster child, a castoff. She didn’t deserve them. They should belong to her.
But she wasn’t foolish enough to say that aloud.
Sobbing weakly, she finally managed,
