And anyway, who ever said making money was easy?
Truthfully, she made more than most people already.
The studio was in the eastern suburbs.
There was a stretch of road out here that was a little remote. The street was mostly empty, and even the lamps barely lit anything.
During the day it wasn’t so noticeable, but at night-pitch dark and eerie-it was a little unnerving.
But driving alone on this road didn’t scare Lily.
Grace had just called her a moment ago.
Asked when she’d be home.
Said she’d saved dinner for her.
Nancy was in the background, reminding her to drive slowly and stay safe.
Lily’s heart felt warm and full.
Four years ago, after being cast out by the Ginger family, she’d felt like she didn’t have a home anymore.
Especially after John had secretly married Elsa, she was convinced there was no light in the world left just for her.
But maybe… there really were people out there who cared about her.
Ever since moving into the Luke family estate, there had been several nights where she came home late-
At those times, the lights in the Luke family’s living room were always on.
Even if she’d already had dinner, the servants would still bring her a bowl of hot soup, following Nancy and Grace’s instructions.
The Luke family was so kind and warm, which made Lily even more afraid of making James uncomfortable. She also sincerely hoped he could gain the freedom he deserved as soon as possible.
Lily thought she’d be able to drive back to the Luke family home quickly and chat a bit with Nancy and Grace.
She never imagined that from around a corner, a large truck would suddenly swerve out and crash violently into her car.
Lily jerked the steering wheel, trying to avoid the impact.
But the truck was clearly targeting her. It was going too fast-there was no way to dodge it.
The violent collision sounded like thunder. Lily felt the world spin.
The seatbelt kept her from being thrown out, but her head slammed into the door. The intense dizziness made her vision go black and her body go limp. For a moment, she couldn’t even hold onto her phone to call the police.
Then, another car-a deep wine-colored luxury vehicle-pulled up near the corner.
After it stopped at the side of the road, Wendy stepped out with two large, burly men. They walked straight toward Lily’s car.
Lily instantly understood. Last time she’d been sent to The Charmer, it was most likely the work of Wendy and Elsa.
She had no intention of being their victim again. Taking a deep breath, she forced her trembling fingers to try unlocking her phone.
But before she could succeed, the two men smashed her car window with heavy tools.
Their hands reached through the broken glass, forced open the door, and one of them snatched her phone while grinning viciously.
At first, they were going to toss the phone into the bushes.
But after a subtle signal from Wendy, they held onto it. It would serve the plan better if they destroyed it after the “incident” and placed it back beside her.
Having the phone in her car would make this staged drunk-driving scene more convincing.
“Give me back my phone!” Lily raised her arm, trying to grab it back.
But her head was spinning, her body too heavy. Her arm had no strength-she couldn’t take her phone back.
She couldn’t even get out of the driver’s seat.
All she could do was glare at Wendy with fierce alertness and shout, “Wendy, what the hell are you doing now?”
“Lily, tonight I didn’t do anything. You’re the one who maliciously drove drunk and severely injured me.”
Wendy’s well-maintained face twisted with venom.
She truly hated Lily.
In her eyes, Lily had nothing going for her except that face.
Her Elsa was so outstanding and perfect-she should have been held in the palm of everyone’s hand, shining like a star.
But because of Lily, Simon always seemed distracted around Elsa. John refused to take that final step with her no matter what. How could she possibly tolerate that?
She had to force John and Simon to make a choice.
If Lily became a criminal scorned by all, guilty of drunk-driving and injuring someone-her, no less- then seeing Elsa heartbroken, Simon and John would surely come to their senses. They’d loathe Lily, not worship her.
And the Luke family? They’d surely abandon this disgusting criminal too.
She wanted to destroy Lily’s entire world. No more rising again.
“Wendy, what nonsense are you spouting? You clearly had someone crash into me on purpose! I didn’t drink! When did I ever drunk-drive and hit you?”
Lily took a deep breath, still trying to push herself upright.
But she failed again.
Then came Wendy’s cold, triumphant laugh. “Yes, I had someone crash into you. And no, you didn’t drink. But the truth doesn’t matter. What matters is that everyone believes you drove drunk and hurt someone. That’s all it takes. Hold her down!”
As she spoke, she retrieved two bottles of hard liquor from the wine-colored car.
Lily wasn’t about to let her win.
Her keys had already been taken, so she couldn’t just drive off. She clutched the steering wheel tightly and kept trying to lift herself, desperate to get away from this lunatic.
But the two men quickly pinned her down. One of them grabbed her jaw roughly while Wendy, elegant and composed, uncorked the liquor bottles and poured them directly into Lily’s mouth.
Lily’s head had already been foggy. After being forced to swallow two full bottles of hard liquor, she could barely lift her head anymore.
Her eyelids grew heavier by the second. Even though she fought with all her strength to stay conscious, trying to remind herself to hold on, soon she slumped forward onto the steering wheel, completely still.
Wendy casually placed the liquor bottles inside the truck.
Then she stood aside, looking down with disdain, and ordered the truck driver, “Now crash.”
The driver didn’t dare hesitate. He slammed the gas pedal down and drove the truck straight into the wine-colored luxury car.
Wendy then pulled out the pre-prepared blood packs and dumped them all over herself. Wearing her high heels, she climbed into her car and parked it tightly against the front of Lily’s car, then closed her eyes and pretended to be gravely injured.
Drunk driving that results in injury is a criminal offense, and the public despises such behavior.
Very soon, photos of her bloodied body being carried away on a stretcher would be posted online.
The evidence of Lily’s drunk driving would also go viral.
Wendy had already coordinated with a doctor she knew. When the time came, everyone would be convinced that Lily had been driving drunk, maliciously crashing into her and landing her in the ICU, clinging to life.
With so much “evidence” in front of the police and the public, Lily wouldn’t just become notorious and disgraced-she would go to prison.
She was going to watch Lily’s reputation be destroyed and see her rot behind bars.
When Lily woke up, she was lying in a hospital bed.
The police asked her a few questions before leaving.
Apparently, Wendy was also in this hospital. After being stabilized, she was sent straight to the ICU. Her condition was said to be extremely serious, her life still hanging by a thread.
When the police found Lily in the car, she reeked of alcohol.
The test results confirmed she had been driving under the influence-an extremely offense.
The police were still investigating the scene and hadn’t made a final determination, so they didn’t forcibly take Lily away.
However, all the current evidence was severely stacked against her.,
