“James, you can’t keep protecting her! Lily cheated on you–she did something so filthy, she has to pay! Don’t let some streetwalker fool you! You deserve someone better. And you can’t raise her bastard child on Luke family money! Break up with this slut and make her pay for her filth!”

James’s gaze cut into her like a blade, cold and merciless. The chill of it made Marilyn’s shoulders jerk.

Victor froze, staring at her, forgetting even to rebuke Marilyn.
