Victor and Ivan both spoke up for Lily, and Marilyn couldn’t stop the flicker of panic inside.

But then she remembered–the majority of the crowd already believed the woman in the video was Lily, and Elsa’s hired trolls were shouting the loudest.

If even an ordinary mother–in–law couldn’t tolerate a daughter–in–law being a “worn–out shoe,” how could Nancy, the matriarch of the Luke family, possibly accept such filth?

Victor and Ivan must have been seduced by Lily’s shamelessness, Marilyn reasoned. But Nancy? Nancy must already loathe her, must be itching to tear Lily apart.

With that thought, she steadied herself, her confidence crawling back. She didn’t argue with Ivan but instead turned red–eyed toward Nancy, her voice pitiful and trembling.

“Mom, I’m only thinking of James. I never expected Victor and Ivan to accuse me like this… James is brilliant, proud, extraordinary. He’s so excellent, so good–how could he be fooled for life by a worn–out shoe? Mom, you must seek justice for James!”

Her teeth clenched at the memory of Lily’s closet–rows of jewelry, shelves of limited–edition bags. Hatred surged in her chest.

Grinding down on her envy, she hurried on, “Yes, Mom, Lily is a liar. She tricked our family into giving her countless treasures with that bastard child in her belly. You must take them all back!”

She was the rightful Luke daughter–in–law, the future mistress of the family. Everything reclaimed would belong to her.

Of course, she didn’t dare say that aloud.

Rolling her eyes, she put on righteous indignation. “Lily has gone too far. Mom, you must call the police! Have her arrested! She should rot in prison! She’s so desperate for men she didn’t even spare that disgusting old creep–she…”
