lungs.

“James, you can’t keep protecting her! Lily cheated on you-she did something so filthy, she has to pay! Don’t let
sstreetwalker fool you! You deserve someone better. And you can’t raise her bastard child on Luke family
money! Break up with this slut and make her pay for her filth!”
James's gaze cut into her like a blade, cold and merciless. The chill of it made Marilyn's shoulders jerk.
But she told herself it was for his good, and stiffened her spine with false righteousness.
Before James could speak, Ivan shot to his feet, voice booming. “Marilyn, did you forget to brush your teeth the
day you were born? Your mouth stinks worse than a sewer! Lily and James are destined for each other. My sister-
in-law is a thousand times better than you-no, ten thousand! You're not even worthy to touch her shoes!”
Adeline rarely argued, but Lily was her bottom line. Hearing Marilyn spit such filth, she couldn't stay silent.
Her brows knit as she snapped, “Marilyn, your mouth truly reeks worse than a cesspit. You call Lily cheap and
dirty-what are you then, sparagon of purity and nobility?”
Her voice cut sharper. “Your scheming, your gossiping, your eagerness to fan the flames—that’s what's truly
disgusting!”
Adeline’s nature was usually cool, her presence like frost in the corner of a wall-quiet, distant.
But now, anger burned in her peach-fox eyes, setting her whole being alight with brilliance. She looked vivid,
arresting, unmatched.
Victor froze, staring at her, forgetting even to rebuke Marilyn.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarilyn never expected the adopted daughter to dare confront her publicly.
Her chest heaved, her rage boiling over. She wanted Victor to strike out, to put Adeline in her place.
But when she turned, she caught Victor staring-staring only at Adeline, as if his very soul had
been stolen.

Slut!
The word screamed inside her head.
He was hers, already promised to her. And that woman had the gall to seduce him before her very eyes? How
shameless could she be?
She would never forgive her.
Unable to endure his dazed gaze, Marilyn rushed to his side, clinging pitifully to his arm.
Victor's body stiffened.
A wave of nausea churned in his stomach, sharp and sickening.
He eased his arm away, his tone flat as cold steel. “Our engagement next month is canceled.”
“What?”
The breath punched out of her lungs.
She had longed to marry him quickly, to secure her place. And now-not only was he refusing, but canceling their
engagement outright?
Her vision blurred with tears. “Victor, you don’t want to take responsibility foranymore?”
“Ill take responsibility,” he said evenly. “But I'm busy next month. We'll talk about the engagement later.”
Relief cfirst-at least he still said he would take responsibility.
But it was clear. He was postponing.
The longer the delay, the greater the danger.
Her heart clawed with panic. But he was colder than ice, unyielding. If she pressed harder, he might delay
further-or end it for good.
So she bit her tongue.
But she swore-she would marry into the Luke family.
Next month, she would fake a pregnancy. That would force their hands, push the engagement and marriage
forward.

From her seat, Adeline couldn't hear what Victor told Marilyn.
But she saw Marilyn draping herself on his arm.
She wrenched her gaze away, her face burning.
For a moment, she had thought he was looking at her.
But she was a fool. He was about to be married.
She could not-must not-becthe very thing she despised most.
She could not be a mistress.
“Mr. James, we also think
you should break up
with Lily!”
Elsa’s planted trolls, hearing the crowd's doubts rising, grew desperate.
They shouted over the murmurs,
