After all, the child in her belly carried the Luke family’s bloodline.

Marilyn refused to believe that once they thought Adeline had tried to harm the family’s precious grandson, the Lukes would still protect that vicious tramp.

Men valued bloodlines and heirs above all else.

Even if Victor had once been drawn to Adeline’s filthy body, once he believed she’d tried to kill his child, he would loathe her completely.

With that thought, Marilyn’s cries grew more dramatic, her voice rising and falling with theatrical agony.

“Victor, come save me–save our baby! Adeline hit me so hard, it hurts so much…”

“Adeline!”

Lily had just stepped out of the bathroom when she heard Marilyn’s shrill scream.

She rushed out, immediately standing in front of Adeline. “What’s going on?”

Downstairs, Grace and Nancy had been chatting. They hurried up the stairs at once.

Henry’s expression darkened, and he followed close behind them.

From the study, Blanc and his three sons came out as well, all hearing Marilyn’s wailing.

Victor instantly understood that the cousin Marilyn accused was Adeline.

He had only met Adeline a handful of times; he didn’t know her well.

But instinct told him she would never harm Marilyn’s unborn child.

He couldn’t bear to see her slandered. He was the first to stride quickly toward the second floor.

“Marilyn, what are you screaming about?”

All night Marilyn had been provoking Adeline. Grace, who thought well of Adeline, refused to believe she could have done such a thing.

Nancy’s face hardened as well. “So which is it? Did Adeline actually hit you, knock you or is this another one of your little performances to frame her?”

But she told herself she had done it out of love–love for Victor, love for the child in her womb. She wanted to give the baby a whole family.

And she was the Luke family’s daughter–in–law. Nancy and Grace should have been loyal to her, should have defended her. How could they side with Adeline instead?

Her tears fell in fat drops as she choked out, “Mom, Grandma, I didn’t frame her! If it wasn’t for her, why would my face be like this? Why would I fall and almost miscarry? I don’t want to say bad things about Adeline, but why would she be so vicious, hitting me, trying to kill my baby? I’m in so much pain, I’m so scared–I don’t want her to hurt me again, or kill my child…”

Nancy’s lips twitched violently.

Not saying bad things? Marilyn had been smearing Adeline nonstop.

Lily had been framed too many times herself not to recognize the performance. Just seeing Marilyn’s fake tears told her everything–she had seen Adeline alone and seized the chance to trap her.

Coldly eyeing Marilyn’s swollen face, Lily said icily, “If Adeline wanted to teach you a lesson, don’t you think she’d do it in secret where no one would see, rather than risk everyone’s blame here? Marilyn, you went hard on yourself just to frame her.”

Lily’s blunt words made Marilyn burn with hatred. She wanted to claw those beautiful eyes out of her face.

But she couldn’t afford to break her mask in front of the elders. Sniffling pitifully, she whimpered, “Why are you smearing me like this? Am I really that bad in your eyes? I know you and Adeline are close, but wrong is wrong–you can’t twist the truth just to defend her.”

“In my eyes, you are selfish, base, shameless, rotten to the core!”

Lily’s voice was sharp and unwavering. “A liar, a thief who shamelessly steals from others–what good could come of you? You’re filthier than a crow, and you dare say I’m smearing you?”

“Lily!”

Marilyn’s shame and rage made her snap, forgetting her act for a moment as she shouted in fury.

“My wife said nothing but the truth.”
