Xylia let out a startled scream, leapt to her feet, and flung the doll away. Her hands were smeared with fake blood, her complexion ashen–anyone could tell she was terrified out of her wits.

Lydia just laughed to herself, not caring about anyone else’s reaction.

She looked like a mischievous kid who’d pulled off a prank, almost giddy with pride at her own handiwork.

“You’re such a scaredy–cat! Even Noelle’s braver than you!” Lydia teased, bursting into even louder laughter.

Lydia just kept laughing, clearly enjoying herself more and more.

“This isn’t funny at all, Xylia thought privately, irritation flickering within her.

Without saying a word, Xylia grabbed a tissue, wiped the fake blood off her hands, and shot Lydia a frosty glare.

“Are you done laughing?” she asked coolly.

“Not even close!” Lydia shot back.

Her eyes flashed with pure malice as she glared at Xylia.

“I don’t know what trick you pulled on Joshua to make him bring you here, but let me tell you–Joshua’s heart already belongs to someone else! As long as I’m here, I’ll never let a woman like you, who’s already been married once, be with Joshua!”

Xylia tossed the tissue away with a chill in her eyes. “Come on, tell me–who does Joshua really care about? Is it Noelle?” she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

At the sound of Noelle’s name, Lydia recoiled, visibly disgusted, then scoffed and actually spat to the side, her face full of contempt.

“Noelle? Please. That girl’s a total wolf in sheep’s clothing! She doesn’t even measure up to you–how could she ever compare to the one Joshua truly loves?” Lydia snapped.

Xylia had thought Lydia was on Noelle’s side, but clearly, she couldn’t be more wrong.

‘She actually hates Noelle?‘ Xylia thought, a flash of surprise crossing her mind.

Xylia frowned at her. “Then tell me–who’s the one Joshua really loves?”

Lydia looked Xylia up and down with blatant disgust, sneering, “Definitely not someone like you.”

“Someone like you doesn’t even stand a chance!”

Turning away with her hands behind her back, Lydia started spinning her little dramatic tale, clearly enjoying every second. “Joshua’s true love is the girl who literally snatched him out of the jaws of death.”

“Back when Joshua was overseas, the people who were after him nearly killed him. But his true love swooped in, saved him, gave him a place to hide out, and they shared some really sweet times together. Then out of nowhere they got separated, but Joshua swore he’d find her no matter what and make her his wife”
