Chapter 213 Curtain Call of Confusion

“Mom, remember–this time, it’s just photos, Strip Lily and take pictures, but no one is allowed to touch her. If anyone Dad sends actually forces themselves on her, I’m afraid she’ll go ballistic and things will spiral out of control. Make sure to tell Dad clearly. This has to go off without a hitch”

Hearing Elsa’s words, the panic in Wendy’s eyes melted away, replaced by that same smug certainty the always wore.

Her precious daughter never let her down

This plan really was foolproof.

A woman’s reputation? Nothing could be more fragile.

Once they had those indecent photos of Lily in their hands, no matter how unwilling she was, she’d have no choice but to agree to a settlement to protect her name.

Lily’s injuries weren’t too serious. The doctors mainly kept her hospitalized to monitor for possible complications from a mild concussion.

After two days of observation, and once all her vitals checked out, she was discharged Saturday afternoon. Despite some awkward moments with James, Lily had actually been in a pretty good mood the past couple of days.

And just that afternoon, she’d received a phone call–from Sunder, her parents‘ former teacher.

Sunder was nearly seventy but still actively performing on the opera stage. Lily’s parents had been her most accomplished students. When they were killed in the car crash, Sunder had taken it hard–so hard, in fact, that she fell gravely ill.

Lily had learned Folk Opera from her for a time when she was little.

Later, when Sunder transferred to another opera troupe, she’d recontmended another teacher to Lily. Although Lily had pursued a career in voice acting, she occasionally performed on stage, and she never let heropera training slip.

A few years back, Sunder returned to the capital.

She was currently directing a production of Hamlet, and the actress originally cast in a supporting role had recently gotten pregnant–morning sickness hit her hard, and she’d been hospitalized. She couldn’t attend rehearsals anymore.
