Marilyn couldn’t hold her fury back any longer. She stormed to the front of the stage, shrieking at the top of her lungs.

“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.

Before James could speak, Ivan shot to his feet, voice booming. “Marilyn, did you forget to brush your teeth the day you were born? Your mouth stinks worse than a sewer! Lily and James are destined for each other. My sister–in–law is a thousand times better than you–no, ten thousand! You’re not even worthy to touch her shoes!”

Adeline rarely argued, but Lily was her bottom line. Hearing Marilyn spit such filth, she couldn’t stay silent.

Her voice cut sharper. “Your scheming, your gossiping, your eagerness to fan the flames—that’s what’s truly disgusting!”

But now, anger burned in her peach–fox eyes, setting her whole being alight with brilliance. She looked vivid, arresting, unmatched.

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

Marilyn never expected the adopted daughter to dare confront her publicly.

Her chest heaved, her rage boiling over. She wanted Victor to strike out, to put Adeline in her place.
