But Claudia wanted her to be the knife in her revenge.

And Lydia had no choice.

Lydia had always been sharp, knowing when to hold back. After taking a loss, she wouldn’t dare provoke Claudia again. She knew who she could rely on now. But Claudia clearly wouldn’t let them stay close, cozy, and friendly.

She wanted Lydia to hold on to them.

Could she really?

Or was it like sand–clench too hard, and it would slip right through her fingers?

Right now, she felt like a chess piece in Claudia’s game–aware of the outcome, yet forced to fight along the board, turning against fellow pieces in the end, leaving rivers of blood behind.

Her whole body went icy.

The black Cullinan with its arrogant license plate gradually disappeared down the road, and another familiar car pulled up in front of her.

Lydia hurriedly stuffed the photos she’d just picked up into her clothes.

She thought of the Lancasters, who had ignored her suffering in prison—and how her hatred twisted their faces–and now they were here, waiting, fragile smiles replacing their harshness.

“Mom!”

She leapt into Lottie’s arms as she got out to meet her.

Wilson and Clarence had been busy with company matters and couldn’t come. Only Lottie and Zane were here to pick her up from prison.

Seeing Lydia thinner, weaker, and clearly worn out, both of them felt a pang of worry.

Even if they were angry at her past mistakes, that anger melted away.

She had paid too high a price. Lydia, who had been spoiled all her life, had never suffered like

this.

“Come on. Let’s go home.”

Finished

Tears filled Lydia’s eyes, her face full of emotion. “Mom, thank you for still accepting me.”

“Don’t say silly things. You’re my daughter. How could I not accept you?” Lottie wiped her tears and patted her frail back.

The one at fault was her.

She hadn’t taken good care of her own daughter, and she hadn’t properly taught Zoey’s daughter either.

“Mom!” Lydia snuggled up again, pouting and acting spoiled like she knew exactly what she was doing.

Zane, standing nearby, watched the scene and couldn’t help but think of Claudia at the birthday party, cold and cutting ties with the family.

Had she ever shared a moment this warm with Mom?

“Zane?” Lydia called out, snapping him back from his daze.

Zane shook his head, coming back to reality.

Forget it–Lydia had already suffered enough. Claudia wouldn’t mind this little bit of jealousy.

He hugged her. “Welcome home, Lydia.”

Back at the house, Lydia couldn’t wait to take a shower, desperate to wash away every trace of prison filth.

When she passed Claudia’s room, she noticed the door wide open.

She froze and asked the maid behind her, “Are they renovating in here?”

The maid nodded. “Yes. Mrs. Lancaster said the old room was too small, so the designer knocked down walls to combine two rooms and redecorated it according to Ms. Claudia’s taste.”

Lydia’s mood, which had lifted slightly after returning home, immediately plummeted. A mix of loathing and mockery flashed in her eyes.
