Mathilda smiled politely at Wendy, then took a seat beside Elsa’s bed.
She and Elsa had always gotten along well. Now, with a shared enemy-Lily-their bond had deepened.
“The internet’s going wild accusing Lily of being a mistress. That b*tch is done for! Some nobody from nowhere really thought she could compete with you? She deserves the public shaming!”
A video clip of Lily being assaulted with garbage had surfaced online.
Mathilda, getting more excited, tapped it open and showed it to Elsa.
“Look at her! Covered in trash-she looks disgusting!”
“Though honestly, garbage suits her. Filthy inside and out!”
The photos and videos of Lily walking out of John’s villa had been posted online by Elsa.
She knew John would protect her and would never defend Lily, so she had no qualms about steering public opinion to paint Lily as the mistress.
Her hatred for Lily ran deep. She longed to see her disgraced and humiliated, so she kept a close eye on the online buzz and naturally saw the video too.
Still, no matter how close she was with Mathilda, there were some cards she would never lay on the table.
Just like how she would never admit that she was the one who orchestrated the whole thing-even if Mathilda had already guessed it.
And Mathilda would never tell her that in just over ten days, Lily and James would be registering their marriage. She was afraid word would somehow get back to John and cause trouble. After all, the Ginger family had already accepted a one hundred million yuan bride price from the Luke family. Lily had to marry that vegetative man!
Elsa looked away from Mathilda’s phone screen and, suppressing the corners of her mouth that were starting to rise, said calmly, “That rotting garbage looked disgusting. Lily probably smells terrible right now.”
“Definitely reeks!”
Mathilda smirked. “But someone like Lily-a fake, a piece of trash-deserves to rot and stink!”
“If Lily hadn’t stolen my parents and my three brothers and taken my rightful place as the Ginger family’s daughter, I wouldn’t have suffered so much! I’ll never let that thieving bitch off the hook!”
Elsa didn’t respond right away.
She didn’t actually agree with Mathilda’s version of events.
Mathilda had been kidnapped when she was six. That had nothing to do with Lily.
In fact, rumor had it that the richest family in the country had initially wanted to adopt Lily.
The Luke family was loving and harmonious. The couple was deeply affectionate. If Lily had been adopted by them, she’d probably be one of Capital City’s most glamorous debutantes by now.
But it was the Ginger family who had kicked up a fuss, crying and pleading until the wealthy couple finally gave in.
Still, Elsa was glad Lily ended up being adopted by the selfish and scheming Ginger family. That way, Lily suffered all those years of pain and torment.
And since she hated Lily the most, there was no chance she’d ever defend her.
She took Mathilda’s hand and echoed her words, “Lily really shouldn’t have stolen what was yours.”
“Just thinking about all the hardship you endured in the countryside makes my heart ache.”
As she spoke, Elsa even teared up a little and sniffled, as if she truly felt sorry for Mathilda.
“That bitch Lily’s to blame for everything!”
Just as Elsa had hoped, Mathilda’s hatred flared even hotter.
Her eyes burned red with rage. “After I was sold off to the countryside, I never had a single good day.”
“While I was suffering, what was Lily doing? She was living in luxury, getting the best education, cherished by my parents and brothers! If she hadn’t stolen my family, would she have gotten into college at fifteen and been hailed as a genius? She took everything from me. I’ll never forgive her!”
“You know what, I should post those school videos of Lily online-let everyone see how low she really is!”
With that, Mathilda pulled up an old video.
It was recorded more than four years ago, in the school’s equipment room.
She had deliberately tricked Lily into going in, then locked her inside for two days.
On the second night, when Lily was dehydrated, starving, and barely conscious, Mathilda barged in with a gang of girls. They tore at Lily’s clothes and dumped all sorts of filthy stuff on her.
They had planned to strip Lily completely.
But when they tore her T-shirt, Lily suddenly snapped and smashed a glass bottle that someone had left in the room.
Holding a shard in each hand, she threatened to take them all down with her. She even slashed one of the girls. Fearing someone might actually die, they didn’t dare continue tearing at her clothes.
Still, in that video, Lily was covered head to toe in filth. She looked disgusting and pitiful. And now, with her already disgraced, posting this would only make her seem even more filthy, cheap, and vile.
Mathilda was right next to her, so Elsa naturally saw the video too.
Watching Lily filthy and pathetic on screen, Elsa sneered with cold disdain.
Lily was truly revolting. Trash like her thinks she can dream of being with John?
“What the hell? Elsa, why are people saying you’re the mistress now?”
Before Mathilda could even upload the video, she got a breaking news alert.
-Elsa, who prides herself on being noble, is actually the disgusting mistress!”
Mathilda shot a worried glance at Elsa and immediately tapped the headline.
The article contained the same video Lily had posted, along with screenshots of her and John’s private shameless mistress!
The comment section had already exploded.
“This is insane! The video’s been taken down now, but I saw the wedding clip of Mr. John and Elsa. The dress Elsa wore was identical to the one Lily handmade! So not only is Elsa a homewrecker, she also stole Lily’s custom-made wedding dress?”
“Unbelievable! I’ve seen mistresses steal men, but this is the first time I’ve seen one steal the bride’s wedding dress! Where’s your shame, Elsa?”
“The timestamp on the wedding dress photo Lily sent Mr. John was the day before his wedding with Elsa. There’s no way he was still talking about marrying Lily the night before, only to dump her the next day. Elsa really is the mistress!”
“My whole worldview is shattered! I’ve never seen a more disgusting, vile mistress than Elsa! She deserves the worst! Her whole family deserves it!”
The rest of the comments were nothing but curses and insults hurled at Elsa.
Online, a wave of apologies toward Lily was also rising.
Everyone began boycotting any projects involving Elsa’s voice work, demanding she be kicked out of the industry and forced to publicly apologize to Lily.
Elsa saw the news too.
She immediately grabbed her phone and started searching keywords.
The tide had completely turned. Just earlier, the internet had been full of sympathy for her and outrage toward Lily. Now it was nothing but pity for Lily and venom toward Elsa.
Some even started spreading malicious rumors-saying she kept getting hospitalized because she was sleeping around and had caught some nasty disease.
Elsa trembled with rage.
She had spent so much money manipulating public opinion. John pitied her and would never speak up for Lily. In her mind, Lily was supposed to be doomed, buried in scandal and shame.
She never imagined that bitch could be so cunning-coaxing John, who rarely expressed his feelings and barely spoke, into recording that kind of video. She even had the foresight to photograph the wedding dress as evidence!
Then Lily posted a statement on her social media account.
“After seeing the wedding video of Mr. John and Ms. Elsa online, I broke up with Mr. John. I only returned to the home we once shared to collect my belongings.I am not a mistress. I never was, and never will be.I wish Mr. John and Ms. Elsa a happy life together. I also hope I can live the rest of mine without being disturbed.”
That b*tch!
Seeing Lily’s statement made Elsa tremble even harder.
That post made it look like Lily broke up with John because of the wedding.
Which only made Elsa seem more guilty, dragging her deeper into the scandal.
“Poor Ms. Lily. She was so looking forward to her wedding, only to find her boyfriend marrying someone else behind her back.”
“I just want to give Lily a hug.”
“Me too. I really want to hug Ms. Lily.”
Elsa couldn’t bear to read any more. She hurled her phone aside.
