Chapter 108 Are You Blaming Me?
Finished
While the Fentons were still busy picking apart what happened, the Lancasters were dead
silent.
The blow had been too heavy. Wilson and Lottie, both worn out, went off to bed.
That left only the three siblings sitting in the living room.
Lydia looked extremely pale.
She knew her reputation outside was already trashed.
Her family might still show pity and affection, but outsiders wouldn’t sugarcoat anything.
Lydia had always lived better than Claudia, the real daughter.
Even if Claudia’s past was messy, people would automatically lean toward her with Sterling backing her now.
Power always shaped opinion.
Back then, the Lancasters pushed their “happy family” image, while Claudia was the unwanted girl left out in the cold. Lydia got all the praise.
But now that Claudia had someone even stronger on her side, the truth was suddenly clear to

Jasper and Lydia had been way too close.
At that time, Jasper was still engaged to Claudia, and Lydia was supposed to be his future sister- in–law.
Zane’s gaze lingered on Lydia, his expression mixed. “Did you two always act like that when Claudia was around?”
He had only ever heard that Claudia was possessive and touchy, but he’d never seen how Jasper and Lydia behaved.
Now that he saw it, he thought Claudia’s anger was pretty justified.
Lydia stared at him in disbelief, looking hurt. “Zane, are you blaming me?”
Her lashes dropped as she gave a bitter smile. “You’re probably right. If I hadn’t gotten sick, Claudia and Jasper would’ve been engaged by now. But I had no idea my memory was messed up. I didn’t know I was confusing Preston and Jasper. I honestly don’t remember. I never meant for this to happen …

She shut her eyes, tears sliding down her cheeks. “I’ll go through with the dangerous brain surgery. If it fails, I’ll either die on the table or leave Dracovia.”
