But even if he got caught in bed with someone, Reese would just think he got unlucky and wouldn’t blame Wendy. would Then, Lily would be publicly humiliated, labeled a shameless tramp: Nora, with her fiery temper, likely rip Lily’s face to shreds, and Lily would never be able to recover. It was supposed to be perfect.
But man plans, and fate laughs. Like some kind of nightmare, the woman in the bed… turned out to be Wendy.
Elsa prayed this was just a dream/
But when she pinched herself hard, the woman still lying there-exposed, disheveled-was her own mother, Wendy.
Her biological mother had really slept with that creepy pervert Reese, and in front of a room full of people! What will everyone, think of Wendy now? And with a mother that filthy, what will they think of me, Elsa?
The sneers and Jeers from the crowd toward Wendy sent rage trembling through Blues en?n
She had lived her whole life proud, dignified-she had never been this humillated.
For a moment, she wanted to flee.
But she couldn’t run now, couldn’t back down. If no one stepped in to handle this mess, Wendy’s disgrace would drag her down with it.
She could only grit her teeth, storm forward, rip the soiled bedsheet off the mattress, and throw it over Wendy’s body. She raised her voice, trying to wake her up.
“Mom, wake up! What the heck happened with Mr. Reese? Someone set you up, right?”
Reese didn’t dare mess with Nora, but his fastes outside the home were nasty, and Wendy reeked.
Still, desperate to wake her mother up, Elsa swallowed her disgust and pinched Wendy hard in secret.
The incense in the room had already burned out.
After Mathilda opened a window with a pale face, a cold wind rushed in, helping Wendy regain some clarity. The sharp pain from Elsa’s pinch snapped her fully awake.
“Elsa?
Wendy lifted her head and looked around, confused, “Why are there so many people here? Where are we? What about our plan…”
Elsa frantically signaled her to shut up.
Wendy caught on immediately and clamped her mouth shut.
That’s when she noticed Reese, curled up naked on the floor with a bruised, swollen face.
She suddenly became aware of the strange feeling in her own body. In a panic, she pulled the sheet up peeked underneath.
Seeing she was completely naked, she let out a piercing scream.
“What happened? This isn’t-
Wendy’s whole body trembled; she clamped both hands over her mouth.
She didn’t finish the sentence, but Lily knew exactly what she was going to say.
She was going to say that she was supposed to be the one in bed with Reese, how the heck had it turned out to be her Destead?
No one understood the twist in Wendy and Elsa’s plan better than Lily.
Looking at Wendy now, wrapped in a filthy sheet, wretched and pitiful-Lily’s mind drifted back to what had happened just thirty minutes earlier.
The ballroom had been wide open, and Lily had been standing somewhere relatively quiet when a maid and
“accidentally” bumped into her. That alone had been suspicious.
Even then, Lily had grown wary
She’d followed the maid upstairs without making a scene-just to find out who was behind this, and to make sure that person paid the price.
After the maid brought her to the lounge, she had left quickly.
Lily didn’t change clothes. Instead, she covered her mouth and nose and hid silently behind the door.
She had a strong hunch that the masterminds behind tonight’s setup were likely Wendy and Elea. The mother-daughter pair had always been meticulous; even if the maid had reported back that Lily had taken the bait, Wendy and Elsa would still want to check for themselves, just to be absolutely sure. And that was the moment Lily had been waiting for.
She’d guessed right. Before long, Wendy had quietly pushed open the lounge door.
There was a potted plant inside the room. Lily had considered knocking Wendy out with it, but worried it would leave too much of a trace. So she decided to wait until Wendy stepped fully into the room and, like in the movies, struck her in the back of the neck with all her strength.
Her first blow didn’t knock Wendy out.
Wendy sensed something was wrong and started to turn around to see who had ambushed her, but then James walked in and knocked her out cold with a precise chop to the neck.
James had someone bring Lily a clean evening gown.
After dragging Wendy onto the bed, Lily used her fingerprint to unlock her phone and sent Elsa a simple “OK” text. Then she left the lounge and crossed the hall to change her clothes.
If Wendy hadn’t meant to harm anyone, even if James had knocked her out, she could’ve made it through the night unscathed.
But if she had come with bad intentions…
Then whatever happened next, she brought it on herself.
“Wendy? How could it be you?”
Wendy always complimented her looks, and Yyonne had liked her quite a bit.
She’d also heard from a few maids that the woman in the room was Lily. It was hard to believe-the one seducing a married man turned out to be Wendy, the very woman she’d always seen as graceful and elegant.
“Wendy, are you okay?” Mathilda, being close to Elsa, had to show concern too.
“You don’t look so good. Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Reese’s tastes were well-known. Wendy felt horrible all over. But right now, how could I even show her face at a hospital?
Tonight, she hadn’t just lost her dignity-she’d lost everything.
She didn’t even want to imagine/how all the people who once flattered and admired her would now laugh at her behind her back.
She also realized that the one who ambushed her in the lounge was, most likely, Lily.
Thinking about how all her careful planning had not only failed to ruin Lily but had completely backfired, she was livid.
Lily did this to me. She has to pay. She suddenly jerked her head up, ber gaze sharp as blades as the glared of Lily
“Lily, why would you do this to me? I know you’re jealous of Elsa. You’re always targeting her and you had our and send a man to rutin me me by association. But even if you hate me, how could you knock me
“What? Lily did this to you?” Yvonne turned on Lily in fury, as if ready to tear her to pieces.
Hearing their voices, the crowd turned in unison to look at Lily.
Lily remained completely calm.
Wendy and Elsa had tried to ruin her. To avoid being caught red-handed, they’d had the maids destroy the surveillance footage in the lounge ahead of time.
But that worked in Lily’s favor too. With no cameras in the hallway, Wendy had no proof Lily had touched her. Without evidence, what was there to fear?
“Lily, you knocked Wendy out just to humiliate her like this? How could you be so vicious?”
Lily was about to retort-call Wendy a rabid dog biting at random-when John’s voice cut in, full of rage.
The sleazy man hadn’t touched Lily; John had felt relieved about that.
But he still couldn’t accept that Lily had done something so cruel to Elsa’s mother.
“Lily, how could you humiliate Wendy like this? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Simon demanded, his face dark.
“You idiot! Are you stupid or what? Shut the heck up!”
Mary could see the truth clearly; Wendy had brought this on herself.
Seeing her dumb son rushing to defend Wendy without even figuring out what was going on made her furious.
She gave him a disgusted kick, then snapped, “Lily is your cousin-in-law. If you yell at her one more time, I swear I’ll have your father break your legs!”
“I…”
Simon was afraid of getting beaten, but when he saw tears brimming in Elsa’s eyes, he couldn’t stand seeing her hurt. “Mom, Lily hurt Wendy so badly-how can you still take her side? You….”
“Simon, which damn eye of yours saw Lily hurt that filthy woman?”
James’ cold voice cut Simon off. Before he could respond, James continued in an icy tone, “I actually have proof. Wendy and Reese were colluding to destroy Lily. When Lily didn’t fall for it, Wendy offered herself up to Reese to keep him happy.”
