Chapter 134

Lillian felt like she was on the brink of a breakdown, both emotionally and physically. She

had fought tooth and nail for everything she had, only to see it crumble to pieces.

If it wasn’t for Brielle… If it wasn’t for that bitch!.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her nails digging into her palms so hard they drew blood. She

wished she could just take Brielle down with her, right then and there.

Her breath was hot and heavy; her forehead had even left a bloody mark on the hardwood

floor. But she couldn’t stop. She was terrified of being cast aside.

She was used to the high life, had had her fill of scraping by, and if the Haywoods cut her

off. she’d be worse off than a beggar on the streets.

She had to hold on tight.

In this moment, Lillian realized the stark difference between herself and Brielle, much as

she hated to admit it. Brielle had been tossed aside by the Haywoods early on, yet she

was thriving at Dorsey International. Without the Haywood’s backing, Brielle still managed

to shine, drawing a hefty salary, living the life of a polished corporate queen.

Realizing this only deepened Lillian’s resentment. Why did Brielle get all the breaks? While

she. Lillian, was left to live like a worm in the dark, desperately hoping someone would

spare her a glance.

The overhead lights seemed to grow brighter, casting an unreal glow that seemed to trap

her in place. She awaited the Haywoods‘ verdict. Like a condemned prisoner, clinging to a

sliver of hope for survival.

If only she were queen of the hill, with everyone else under her heel. Her eyes were

rimmed with red as she thought this.

The tension in the room was palpable, silence heavy.

The phone rang at this moment, and she almost anxiously looked up at Miranda and

Robert. As expected, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on both of their faces:

Like a frightened animal, Lillian scrambled to silence her still–ringing phone. Why would

the director call her now? Of course, he must be looking for Brielle, she thought bitterly.

He always favored her. She felt sick to her stomach.

“Robert, I know things have come to a head and there’s no easy way out. I just can’t bear

to lose you all.”

She was gambling, playing her last card, but before Robert could respond, the doorbell

rang.

Who would visit the Haywoods at such a time?

Bewilderment crossed everyone’s faces until they saw Faith come in. Faith was livid,

aware of the charged atmosphere as she entered. “Well, isn’t this a merry gathering?”

Miranda and Robert’s faces fell, but given Faith’s status, they had no choice but to receive

her with strained politeness.

Faith moved to the side as if she were in her own home. “About that annulment I

mentioned last time, what have you decided? You’ve seen the video. I can’t accept a

daughter–in–law like Brielle.” One more scandal like that and her son might never recover.

Miranda and Robert were also critical of Brielle’s role in leaking the video. After all, airing

dirty laundry was bad form, and now the scandal was the talk of Beaconsfield, leaving

everyone embarrassed. But to call off the engagement would complicate business

between the Haywoods and the Dorseys.

“Ms. Faith, this incident was certainly Brielle’s fault, and I’ll have

does that sound?”

her apologize to you. How

Apologize? A sneer appeared on Faith’s face. Could an apology restore her son’s

reputation?

“Her apology is worthless. My son has become the laughingstock of the town, and who’s

to blame for that? And Lillian, she’s one of yours too.”

Just moments ago, Miranda and Robert had been acting superior, but in front of Faith, they

were like schoolchildren caught misbehaving.

Faith didn’t truly dislike Lillian, but someone had to take the fall. If Lillian had the sense to

admit that she was the one who seduced Spencer, that it was a moment of weakness for

him, then the public outrage might shift to her. Spencer could then wash his hands clean

of this

mess.

But clearly, Lillian wasn’t ready to make that sacrifice.

Faith sneered, looking at the three before her, “Spencer and Brielle’s engagement must be

broken. And his new fiancée will not be Lillian. I won’t let a homewrecker into my family.”

Hearing this, Lillian’s face went ashen. Faith used to show her some favor, but these words

were a clear sign she was being abandoned.

Her hands trembled by her sides. If Robert turned her away and Faith insisted Spencer to

cut ties, she’d have no one to turn to.

Could she lean on Cameron? After that video went viral, Cameron hadn’t even bothered to

call her.
