Four

Addison sat up quickly when the voice came to her hearing. She turned around and who she saw made her shake in fear. She looked at the woman who stood at the entrance, dressed in beautiful clothing. Her body tensed and her palm perspire.

“How dare you touch my future daughter-in-law?!” Monica Lannister barked as she walked in fully. Her eyes lit in fury, she walked with confidence and composure.

Everyone picked up their phones, they began to record. Monica Lannister walked towards Addison, she picked her up and dusted her dress.

“Are you okay?” Asked Monica Lannister.

Looking at her, Addison couldn't help but tense up. Different questions burned her heart, it was as though she hadn't heard Monica Lannister well.

“Come with me.” Monica held Addison’s hand and walked out of the school.

^Did Monica Lannister just help Addison Leighton?

^She called her daughter-in-law, does this mean Addison Leighton and the only heir to the Lannister empire would be together?

Before one minute, the video was already on social media. The media company had started to talk about it and everyone had started to comment on it. Everyone was shocked at the way Monica Lannister had treated Addison especially because they know Monica Lannister's hatred for commoners.

Meanwhile:

Addison sat in the black Lexus car. By the time she turned to Monica Lannister, she was met with a heart-burning slap that sent her backward. She clasped her hand to her burning cheeks, tears formed in them immediately. She looked at Monica Lannister’s face, it had changed from the friendly one to a violent, vicious, and fierce one. One would think it wasn't the previous Monica who had held her and talked to her sweetly before.

“How dare you?” Her face was strong, livid, and ferocious.

“How dare you seduce my son?! What did you want? Money? You could have asked for it. Fame? I would gladly give it to you but this way? This way is not the way you should have gone about it! Do you know what you have caused by this scandal?! What? The blood-stained virgin? You think I will believe that?!!” Monica yelled, she raised her hand and slapped Addison again.

It was so painful, that Addison felt like her head was hit against a brick.

“I swear I will make you pay for this. I will make you pay!! Now, get out!” Monica yelled and turned away. Her skin gleamed from the sunshine that peeped from the car window.

Addison swallowed her tears, she gently got down from the car. Standing beside it, she watched as it sped off. She looked around, she was far from school but she didn't want to go there anyway.

In Monica’s car:

Her phone rang, and she gently looked at it. It was Paula Allister that was calling.

“How did it happen?” Monica's face was emotionless.

“I woke up beside an old man. I don't know what happened, I think the keys were swapped.” Paula breathes out.

“Everything was planned, I am sure. They must have exchanged the keys and paired you with an old man because they didn't want you to find out early, hence ruining their devious plans. I set you up with my son so that he will have no choice but to marry you, I even invited the reporters because I wanted them to create a scandal. My son cannot handle anything that will destroy the image of the company so I am sure he will do whatever to protect the company, therefore, getting married to you. However, right now, that bitch ruined all of the plans!” Monica Lannister's face changed from flat to a livid one.

“You have to stop it, that bitch can not get married to Warren, I love Warren so much and I cannot bear to see him with another woman!” Paula uttered

Monica Lannister bit her lower lips in anger.

“Perhaps, if you have been careful, that bitch wouldn't have taken your key and gotten into Warren’s room. But, I have a plan, that bitch will regret messing around with the Lannisters.” A sinister smile escaped her lips.

However:

Claire and her mother sat in the living room, Claire was helping her mother to braid her hair. Mrs. Leighton thought of Addison and how she had mistakenly slept in Warren’s room. Mrs. Leighton knew that Addison wasn't that type of girl.

“What did you do Claire? Are you the one that set Addison up?” asked Mrs. Leighton.

“Mom, who else would have set her up? However, mom I didn't set her to sleep with Warren Lannister, I set her up to sleep with an old man and I know how she ended up in Warren’s room.” Claire looked confused as well.

Mrs. Leighton seemed to be pleased with what her daughter had said. She smiled.

“Don’t worry about Warren, he will be yours sooner or later. For now, leave Addison. It seems you have forgotten about Monica Lannister and her hatred for commoners, she will make Addison pay for seducing her son.”

Claire nodded her head. It was true, Monica Lannister hated commoners more than feces. It was one of the reasons the public is particular about Addison. They knew that Monica Lannister will find a way to cover up the rumors.

“Mom, I am going to meet Gabriel Lancashire today. I heard that he is working for the Anderson empire now, I want to get closer to him.” Claire had finished braiding her mom’s hair.

Mrs. Leighton nodded to the words of her daughter.

“ Go now and don't be late. You should take some cookies along with you.”

Claire nodded and headed to the kitchen. However, as she entered the kitchen, a notification popped up on her phone. It was the news about Monica Lannister.

She widened her eyes when she saw it, she rushed out to her mom in the living room.

“Mom, Addison met Monica Lannister. From the video I saw, she was nice to her.” She showed her mom the video.

Mrs. Leighton watched the video, a scowl grew on her face quickly.
