Tonight, she would make everyone see Adeline’s true colors.

She would.

After dinner, Adeline went to Lily’s room to discuss the details of the theme song they were about to record.

The two of them shared the same values and had endless topics in common.

Once the discussion ended, they drifted into casual chatter.

But Adeline knew a pregnant woman needed proper rest. Seeing that it was already past ten, she didn’t linger and said her goodbyes.

Lily insisted on walking her downstairs. When they reached the door, Lily suddenly wanted to use the bathroom and asked Adeline to wait so they could go down together.

Adeline stayed outside the room to wait.

The moment she stepped into the hallway, she was met with Marilyn, chin raised high, smiling with open malice.

“Feeling proud, are you?”

Marilyn strode toward her, beautiful yet arrogant.

“Seeing Grandpa and Grandma favor you over me–you must feel really proud, huh?”

Looking at Adeline’s strikingly cold and flawless face made Marilyn seethe with hatred.

She was considered an exceptional beauty herself, good in many ways.

But Adeline’s looks were too extraordinary, and because they were related by family ties, people constantly compared the two.

Every comparison ended the same: Adeline outshone her.

Marilyn felt she’d lived in Adeline’s shadow for years. And now, after Adeline shamelessly slept with her man and manipulated the elders into trying to tear her and Victor apart, how could she not hate her to the bone?

Her calculating eyes turned venomous. “I know all about you clinging to Victor. He’s my fiancé, the father of my child, yet you won’t let him go. You’re nothing but a filthy, disgusting mistress!”

Chapter 599 The Trap

Adeline despised Marilyn from the bottom of her heart.

But it was true–she had unwittingly fallen into the role she most hated.

Even though she loathed Marilyn, the shame pressing down on her now left her too drained to

argue.

With a pale face, she glanced at Marilyn, then tried to walk past her toward the stairs.

But Marilyn wouldn’t let her go so easily.

She darted ahead to block her, narrowing her eyes with contempt. “Seeing that Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom all oppose Victor marrying me–does that make you feel smug? You know Victor and I truly love each other. You know I’m carrying his child. Yet you still incite them to break us apart. How cheap can you be?”

“Marilyn, I’ve never tried to split you and Victor.”

Adeline hadn’t wanted to quarrel.

But Marilyn’s accusations kept piling up, and she couldn’t just let the filth be dumped on her head.

“Heh, you

didn’t?”

Marilyn sneered, lips curling. “Other people might not know how dirty and shameless you are, but I do.”

“All of Aunt’s property should be mine. You’re just an adopted girl–what right do you have to spend her money? What right do you have to live in her house? To hold onto her inheritance? If you had a shred of decency, you’d return every cent you’ve spent all these years!”

“Marilyn, you’re insane.”

Adeline was sickened by her brazen self–righteousness.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “I’m deeply grateful to my parents for raising me. I earn my own living and will repay them. I don’t covet their estate. They have their own daughter. Their inheritance should go to Mianmian, not to you—a conniving niece! You have your own parents and your own family. Why don’t you guard your own scraps instead of eyeing mine?”

“Bitch!”

Hearing Adeline suggest that Lin Hua’s estate should belong to Zhou Mianmian instead of her nearly made Marilyn explode.

In her mind, if Aunt hadn’t adopted Adeline, her uncle and aunt would never have had a child
