There was a tidal wave of cynicism rushing toward Lyla.

Lyla was panicked. She looked at the crowd around, she made a futile attempt to explain but was unable to find the proper words.

She turned to Regina for help, but her head hung low. Regina held Ryan’s arm tightly, refusing to meet Lyla’s gaze.

It was like the two were total strangers.

Lyla was in despair.

Click! Click! Someone fished out the phone to take pictures.

Then more and more people followed suit to snap pictures of her.

Frightened, Lyla waved her hands and finally covered her face with them.

“Stop! Don’t snap at me! Please don’t!”

“Why? Such a piece of earth-shattering news requires photographic proof! If not, no one will believe that ‘Lyla in the Sky’ is you!”

“Yes! That is right. Don’t tell me you still want to go on with your game of cheating?”

A bunch of hedonistic boys from rich families were jesting around, trying to make news for fun.

As for how Lyla felt, they were not interested in it.

Anyhow, some wanted to ta

    Regina was stunned.A frozen silence trailed along the air between them.A few seconds later, she burst into a smile.She looked up at Pricilla and blurted coldly, “You think you can fool me?”Priscilla shook her head, “Forget it if you don’t believe me.”Regina’s face darkened.“What exactly do you mean by saying this?”“Nothing, it is great if you can understand, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t. I just want to remind you, that you brought me down five years ago because I was off guard, but now it is different! Do you think I am so silly to come without fully prepared, knowing that you and Lindsay are trying to set me up and destroy my reputation again?”Regina’s face changed completely. She shook her head in disbelief and said, “It is impossible! If you had evidence, why didn’t you disclose it five years ago?”Priscilla smiled with faint mockery.Without another word, she turned around and was about to go inside.Caught in a panic suddenly, Regina reached out her hand to pull Pri

    Lyla’s voice came through the door.“Regina, are you still inside? I brought you a gown.”Regina resumed her expression before turning around to open the door.“Thank you. Where is Lindsay?”“You’re welcome. She told me what happened so I told her I’ll be the one to assist you.” Lyla noticed her abnormal look and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”Regina forced a smile and shook her head.Although she was shaking her head, everything on her face indicated that there was something on her mind, making her sad.How could Lyla not see the hint? She said in a worried tone, “Regina, did Priscilla that b*tch bully you again? What did she tell you?”Regina still shook her head. After a pause, she took Lyla’s hand and said, “I’m fine. I’m just… I’m just worried.”“Worried about what?“I…” Regina hung her head and her eyes sparkled.“Regina, come on, speak it out to me.” Lyla urged.Regina said in a gentle voice, “You probably won’t believe it. I find it unbelievable as well. I did not expe

    As expected, Ryan frowned.Regina secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Anyway, he still cared about her.Since now he had known that she was wronged, he would certainly help her take revenge!However, to her surprise, Ryan only said in a low voice, “You’d better stay away from her in the future.”Regina was stunned and widened her eyes in disbelief.She looked at Ryan in disbelief as if she had heard something completely impossible. “What… What did you say?”Ryan said impatiently, “Every time you two meet, you will quarrel with each other like enemies of life. It seems that she is unreasonable, but actually, it’s always you who took the initiative to provoke the fighting. Regina, it’s already a mistake for us two to be together, so definitely she hates you for that. Why do you still take the initiative to provoke her and get yourself annoyed?”Regina was stupefied.She looked at the man in front of her and couldn’t believe what he had said just now.Tears welled up in her eyes.” Ryan,

    As expected, Ryan frowned.Priscilla raised her eyebrows.She raised her wrist and looked at her watch to check the time.It was already half past ten at night.Although it was not very late, it was definitely not early.She curled her lips and said, “No, but it seemed like you are having great fun here, you can stay here. Enjoy yourself!”Then she walked towards the elevator without looking back.Regina’s face darkened.She wanted to stop Priscilla again, but she seemed to have made up her mind and ignored her voice.Regina was pissed off.‘Damn it! Why hasn’t Lyla come down yet?’Ryan frowned beside her, “Regina, don’t force her if she just wants to leave. Let her go. There are still people waiting for us over there.”Regina looked panicked.Seeing the elevator door was about to close, she gritted her teeth and suddenly rushed forward.“Priscilla!” Ryan’s face changed dramatically. Even Priscilla, who had already entered the elevator, couldn’t help frowning slightly.After a flash,

    The onlookers’ discussion had thrown Lyla completely out of her wit and Priscilla also looked unwilling to let her go, so suddenly Lyla shouted, “That’s enough! What kind of business secret? It was just a simple design draft.”“Priscilla, you stole Regina’s design five years ago and told everyone it was your own so that she has missed the opportunity to be admitted to the Royal University of Fine Arts. Now, you still want to use the original draft of five years ago to frame her again! Do you think it is yours? You are so vicious. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by God?”Hearing this, everyone was stunned. What? The design draft in her hand was the one that caused Priscilla to be involved in the scandal of five years ago.What did she mean by that?Someone had realized what Lyla meant. They turned to look at Priscilla with strange looks.Priscilla framed Regina with the original draft five years ago and claimed that the design was hers, which meant...Nancy’s face also changed as s

    Lyla suddenly understood everything. It turns out that Regina did it on purpose. She said those words on purpose to provoke her to steal the file.And she was free from the case afterward. Then the case now had nothing to do with her.Even if the truth was revealed, Lyla would be the only one to be punished.Lyla looked at Regina in disbelief, as if it was the first time that she had known her, “Regina, You got your clothes dirty. It was me who brought you new clothes. You told me in the room that you would hold Priscilla back and not let her go back to her room and asked me to steal the manuscript for you. You must admit it!”Regina frowned.This idiot!Why was this idiot still holding on to this?Didn’t this idiot understand that only when she was innocent and stayed outside could she help her out of the jail?But now Lyla just wanted to drag her into the mire. How could there be such a stupid person?Regina was furious, but she had no idea how she could stop her. She gritted her te

    Lyla wanted to respond but was stopped by the headmaster.He frowned, glanced around the crowd, and finally fixed his eyes on Nancy, “Miss Swift, please tell me about what’s going on.”Nancy told him everything in detail.With so many people present, she said it objectively and fairly. She didn’t exaggerate or lie.The headmaster frowned after he heard all of those, “So, Regina, is it correct that, you think, Priscilla stole the original draft of your design five years ago and tonight she wanted to shake her crime and then frame you again, so you sent Lyla here to steal the draft back. Am I right?”Regina was stunned.After a while, she took a deep breath.She knew that it was useless to argue at this time.She could only say, “I admit that I did unintentionally mention it to her before. My sister took away my original draft and might use it to frame me, but I didn’t ask her to steal it back for me. I didn’t expect her to do that tonight. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have agr

    Ryan’s face darkened.Regina grabbed his arm and said in a trembling voice, “I didn’t...”Nancy sneered, “Good acting!”Regina was speechless.As the crowd around became more and more suspicious, she couldn’t stand it anymore.She looked at Priscilla sadly and said in a trembling voice, “I didn’t expect you to say that even now! Well, if you insist that I had set you up, I have nothing to refute. But you can’t prove what you said just by these empty words!” Regina’s admirers around couldn’t bear to see her so sad and fragile.Some of them shouted, “Yes, you didn’t explain it five years ago. Now that it has been so long after that, how can you prove you were innocent?”Nancy was stunned. She had been following Priscilla’s plan all this time, but she didn’t expect this to happen. Seeing this, she glanced at her.With a cold smile on her lips, Priscilla was about to speak.“Who said it can’t be proved?”A cold and calm voice suddenly came from outside.The voice seemed to be wrapped in t

    The grand ballroom of the Aurelian Hotel shimmered under the glow of crystal chandeliers, casting a warm, golden hue over the sea of elegantly dressed guests. Tonight, it wasn’t a place of betrayal or whispered plots. Tonight, it was a temple of love, a sanctuary where Priscilla and Fredrick would finally seal their bond.After everything they had endured—the deceit, the threats, the near-death experience—tonight was a testament to their resilience.And tonight, in front of the world, they would celebrate it.Priscilla stood in the bridal suite, her reflection staring back at her from the full-length mirror.The gown was breathtaking.A masterpiece of intricate lace and delicate pearls, the off-shoulder design framed her collarbones perfectly, while the flowing skirt cascaded down like a waterfall of silk. A delicate veil, embroidered with shimmering crystals, draped from the crown of her head, a silent promise of the sacred vows she was about to take.She exhaled slowly, running her

    The woman’s gaze was sharp, unyielding, her dark eyes filled with something dangerous—something primal.Hatred.She stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, her fingers tightening around the stem of her champagne glass as she watched Priscilla from across the room.Priscilla, radiant in her emerald-green gown, moved through the crowd with effortless grace, smiling, laughing, unaware of the storm brewing just beyond her vision.She doesn’t deserve any of it.The thought slithered through the woman’s mind like venom.She was supposed to be nothing—an unwanted child of the Waals, an orphan taken in out of charity. Yet she had grown up in luxury, had been given love, attention, and a family name.While she…She had been the outsider.The adopted daughter.The replacement.Priscilla was the real daughter. The one they truly loved.And for that, she had to die.She had spent years waiting, biding her time.Hiding the bitterness beneath practiced smiles. Perfecting the art of deception.But

    Everyone was merrier as they celebrated.Lourdes felt a little bit awkward when she saw Ben.Ben, on the other hand, kept staring at Nancy.Although she had given birth, she was still as pretty as ever, but now it seems this pretty lady hates him.He wore a sullen look and kept staring.Andrei came over and tried to tease Him.“Hey Ben, you seem so lost staring at that pretty lady over there. Are you aware your recent ex is here? How do you do it? Nancy has given birth, definitely she is taken!”Ben stared at him coldly, “ I’m aware she has given birth, and as for Lourdes, we never really dated.”Ben thought of something, then smiled.He walked over to Lourdes.They chatted and kept smiling at each other and laughing so loudly.Lourdes enjoyed his company and wished that the relationship they had could become real.On the other hand, Nancy kept staring at them.She was having mixed feelings. Priscilla observed that her face didn’t look so good and she asked, “Best, are you okay?”Nanc

    In other words, even though he was staying here by force, he could forget relying on her for food and drink.If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t eat.She’d thought that he’d be dissatisfied with her words.Unexpectedly, he simply looked coldly at her and said, “I’ve already dismissed that maid of yours.”Nancy blinked.“What?” Ben frowned.“You didn’t hear me?”“No, why did you dismiss my maid?”Ben sneered.“If I didn’t, was I supposed to wait for her to help you escape?”Nancy’s temper flared.“I already told you I’m not going to run. And in my condition, how far can I get?”Ben ignored her completely. “I have no faith in you.”She clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.“All right, then. What am I supposed to eat and drink with the maid gone? You don’t expect me to make my meals while pregnant, do you?”Ben shot her a look.He seemed to think about it.“If you could, why not?”“Bastard!”Looking at the woman all puffed up like a kitten, Ben’s mood inexplicably improved.“Relax.

    How could this man be so hateful?He knew she couldn’t do anything. He knew she had nothing left. Why was he still pressuring her to this point?Ben sneered.“If I decided to come after this child, what can you use against me? Your half-baked techniques? Or are you going to tell your father and have me beaten up like four years ago?”Nancy jolted.Endless cold raced down her spine.She looked at him icily. “You can certainly try.”Ben paused, then said, “But your father probably won’t treat me like this now, will he? After all, four years ago, I was just a poor kid with nothing, no match for his sweet daughter. But things are different now. I’m the heir to the Silvester family. Think about it. If he knew that his daughter was pregnant with my seed, wouldn’t he be so happy he carts you over in a horse-drawn carriage?”“Don’t go too far, Ben!”“I’m just telling the truth, aren’t I?”The two stood there as dead silence took over the still atmosphere.Nancy glared at him with eyes full of

    Nancy’s birthday was coming. Priscilla was thinking of her schedule and found that she couldn’t celebrate her birthday.Since Nancy went abroad, she had only been in occasional contact with Priscilla.She didn’t even contact her father and brother.Priscilla couldn’t raise her opinion. She could only care about Nancy as much as possible, lest she feel lonely abroad.On Nancy’s birthday, Priscilla called her at the stroke of midnight. The call was put through soon.Nancy’s delighted voice came, “Priscilla!”“Happy birthday!”“Thank you.”Priscilla couldn’t help being amused by Nancy, “To be honest, have you missed me?”“Of course, but you never come to see.”“Don’t worry. When my godson is born in half a month, Fredrick and I will come together.”“What if it’s a daughter?”“It’s better. Ann can keep her company and take care of her.”Nancy shook her head, “You’re lucky. To be honest, it is really hard to be pregnant with a child.”Priscilla’s smile froze on her lips.“Can you manage i

    She knew full well what kind of person Fredrick was.He looked cold, but in reality, if he acknowledged someone as one of his people, he usually took their business personally instead of being so cool about it.Frederick looked at her deeply.“Do you still remember what I told you when you asked me about Hadassah?”Priscilla started.She thought about it and realized.“Is it…”“Yes, I’m just that selfish. I don’t want someone to come back and disturb our little world, and I don’t want any trouble. So I don’t care whether we can find that child or not.”Priscilla had to laugh.“Why are you like this? They’re raising such a fuss while you’re here talking behind their back.”Fredrick leant over, smiling as he wrapped an arm around her waist.He snuggled in close to her face, the tips of their noses touching.“Yes, that’s how I am. I don’t care about anything other than you.”“Darling…”Priscilla hadn’t let it go yet, but her lips were already being sealed by his in another entangling kis

    The restaurant was high-end for Milton, but it was not good enough.And the standards that William seemed to have made it quite clear that he wasn’t the type of person who’d eat at a place like this.He’d come today either because he was in a hurry or because something special had attracted him.Priscilla was curious about it, but they didn’t know each other too well, so she didn’t ask about it.The two went into the restaurant, chatting as they ate. The atmosphere was quite friendly.Still, she didn’t know if she was imagining it or not, but she felt that the way William looked at her wasn’t quite right.The passion he was showing wasn’t like someone who’d only met her once or twice at all.Priscilla put herself on guard as she asked, “Are you in the city for business, Mr. Curtis?”William replied, “I’m looking for a person.”“Oh? May I ask who you’re looking for?”William paused, then chuckled, “An old friend’s child.”At that, he didn’t continue. Seeing that he wasn’t willing to s

    In the past, the Waals family was headed by Rose and Katherine, so to get Rose on your side, you pulled Regina to your side, only to get their family into the Smith family. Now that Rose’s in trouble, Regina and Katherine are facing charges, you’re afraid that it’ll affect you or the Smith family, so you’re trying to give her the boot and come back to me. Do you think everyone’s as stupid as her, Ryan? That they’ll just stand by and become your plaything after you feed them your lies?”Ryan’s expression grew ugly.“What are you saying? Am I such a person in your mind? I’ll admit that things aren’t good between me and Regina right now, but things hadn’t been going well even before this mess. I’m not trying to give a coup de grace here!”Priscilla had to laugh at his audacity. “You’re not trying to give a coup de grâce? You’re serious, Ryan Smith! Do you even believe your own words? I’m telling you, I would have respected you more if you took responsibility and still stood with her, but
