She would become the true mistress of the Luke family, She, Marilyn, was destined to stand above all others! “Elsa, could you… could you lend me five million?” Marilyn glanced at the bracelet on her wrist and hurried on, “Don’t worry, once I marry Victor, I’ll pay you back double.” To her, marrying Victor was…

His voice cut her down, heavy with contempt. “You climbed into Hudson’s bed because you were forced? You stole Lily’s pendant because you were forced?
