Chapter 507 Forced Responsibility
When Victor finally opened his eyes again, the clarity they once held was gone- replaced by bloodshot red, his
gaze clouded with exhaustion and torment.
He drew a deep breath, his voice low and heavy. “Fine. Since you insist on marrying me, | will marry you. But
before the wedding, don’t cto the Luke estate again. After the wedding, we'll live elsewhere. I'll have
someone send you home.”
Marilyn bit down hard on her lip.
When he had once promised responsibility to Adeline, his voice had been magnetic, moving, filled with tender
affection. Now, when he said he would marry her, it sounded as though it weighed on him like chains.
How could he treat her like this?
Marilyn's heart twisted with hatred.
She hated the unfairness of heaven, hated the blind eyes of the Luke family who treasured Lily—a discarded
shoe, in her eyes-while ignoring her brilliance, her worth.
She wanted to scream, to rage. But Victor's coldness warned her-push him further, and he might refuse her
altogether. For now, she could only leave.
There will be tlater.
Once she was officially married, half of Victor's fortune would be hers. And with her beauty and charm, she was
certain she could ensnare him completely.
Then, once she had him wrapped around her finger, she would walk into the Luke estate whenever she pleased.
She would make sure Lily’s child never saw the light of day. The pain, the humiliation she had suffered today-she
would repay it a thousandfold.
“Forgive me.”
After Marilyn left, Victor turned to Lily, his shso deep it etched pain into his

Still, something nagged at her. The whole situation felt strange. Last night, in the hotel-she wasn’t entirely
convinced the woman had been Marilyn at all.
But with the surveillance cameras conveniently broken, and Marilyn discovered unclothed at Victor's side, her
suspicion remained just that-a suspicion.
Victor was determined to take responsibility. There was nothing she could say to stop him.
“You-"
Henry clutched his chest, nearly choking on his fury.
He had always thought his eldest grandson, obsessed with finding a bride to give him a great-grandson, was the
most troublesome. But today he realized-the real disaster was the second grandson.
“You fool!” Henry barked, gasping for breath. “Do you see what you've brought into this house? I'd rather you
had bedded a pig-or a dog!”
A pig or a dog...
It was crude, but not a single member of the Luke family disagreed. Even if Victor's tastes had been that
depraved, it would still have been better than Marilyn.
Ivan, still reeling from discovering she had even stolen clothing, dragged a hand down his face in exasperation.
If Victor really married Marilyn, even if they lived away from the estate, sooner or later she'd be back.
What if she decided to steal his things?
Unthinkable.
“You should've calledlast night,” Ivan muttered, leaning against the wall, utterly

defeated. “Even if | had to find you a man, it would've been better than being shackled to a thief like Marilyn.”
Victor's gaze was heavy, unreadable.
Grandfather wanted him to settle for livestock, Ivan suggested men...
Never mind. He wouldn't argue.
The truth was harsh enough: Marilyn, selfish and scheming, was still a burden he could no longer shake.
Not a pig. Not a dog. Not a man.
But her.
And he had no choice but to shoulder it.

The ring was carved on the inside with his and Lily’s initials, a design Lily had loved deeply.
Now he wanted it back, to place it where it belonged-on Lily’s hand.
Having stayed with Elsa when she'd been unwell, he still remembered the door code.
The lights in the living room were on. She was home.
He stepped inside, heading straight for her bedroom.
