Lachlan crashed right in front of Lillian, their eyes meeting as she stood there with her clothes
in disarray!
“Clara? You were spying on me!”
Lillian was startled at first, then furious!
She instantly jumped to her feet, her eyes flashing with ruthless anger!
“Some lady of the house you are, sneaking around like a common thief! Ugh, Clara, you’re absolutely disgusting!”
“Who’s disgusting? Lillian, you have no shame whatsoever!”
Lachlan hadn’t expected Lillian to go on the offensive first. His body, which had just calmed down, started trembling again!
I remained on the rooftop.
Watching them tear into each other felt oddly familiar.
Once upon a time, I was caught in the middle of it all. Now, I could finally watch from a
distance!
“What did you hear?!”
Seeing Lachlan’s tone shift, Lillian immediately grew suspicious.
“If you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it in the first place! I saw everything between you and that sc*mbag!” Lachlan cursed loudly.
Clearly, the taste of betrayal wasn’t sitting well with him.
But Lillian fell silent momentarily, then burst into laughter, laughing until she could barely
catch her breath.
“Ha, you saw it? So what if you saw it? Clara, do you think anyone would believe you? Lachie? Or anyone else in this mansion?”
Lillian’s words were both provocative and arrogant.
“Let me tell you, I’ve bought off everyone here. They all take orders from me. They’ve spread tons of false rumors about you. All these years you’ve been suppressed and mistreated because of their efforts. Haven’t you realized that yourself? And as for Lachie… Lachie only has eyes for me. I’m his first love, and he can’t forget me. With just one word from me, he’ll hand his heart over obediently. There’s simply no room for you!”
Lillian was highly pleased with herself, her chin lifted with pride.
Lachlan’s gaze turned cold, his teeth clenched in anger.
“So you cheated on him behind his back? Got pregnant with someone else’s child and
claimed it was his?!”
“You know about that too?!”
Lillian jumped in shock!
She hadn’t expected Lachlan to know everything and felt panic before quickly regaining her
composure.

claimed it was his?!”
“You know about that too?!”
Lillian jumped in shock!
She hadn’t expected Lachlan to know everything and felt panic before quickly regaining her
composure.
“Hmph, whose son is really that Important anyway? All that matters is Madison calls Lachie ‘daddy,‘ and he’ll inherit the entire Thorpe family fortune someday!”
“You’re out of your mind!”
For the first time, directly confronting Lillian’s shamelessness, Lachlan was shaken, shocked, and utterly devastated!
He was smart enough to realize there was another man involved. He immediately connected this to the premature birth, suspecting something fishy about the situation.
Initially, he had just wanted to bluff her. Still, who would have thought Lillian wouldn’t try to hide it, admitting everything outright. Her shamelessness knew no bounds!
The memories of their past together flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
now!
None of those fragile, helpless, gentle, crying faces matched the person standing before him
Lachlan felt as if he had never known this person at all. So it was Lillian’s true face! She was
bitter, cruel, shameless, and vicious!
All these years, he had been completely deceived!
Hatred welled up inside him as Lachlan’s blood boiled in his chest!
He fought the metallic taste rising in his throat, his fists clenched tight enough to crack.
“Who is that man!”
“Why should I tell you? Clara, have you lost your mind?”
Lillian found it amusing.
But it had been a close call. When the commotion started earlier, that worthless man had
run off like a bat out of hell, terrified of getting caught by Lachlan.
“Are you going to tell me or not? Fine, I’ll go tell Lachlan!”
Lachlan played his trump card, thinking Lillian would meekly comply.
But he forgot that after all these years of Lillian bullying me, she had become
fearless.
entirely
“You think you’re walking out of here?”
“What are you trying to do?!”
Looking at the malicious smile on her face, utterly devoid of her usual coy charm, Lachlan gritted his teeth and swallowed hard, filled with regret!
“You seriously think you can lay a hand on me?”
口
“So what if I do? Haven’t I done it enough over the years? Every single time I’ve left you in pieces, then I run to Lachie with some sob story about you bullying me… Works like a charm every time. Oh dear, what can I do? Lachie loves me and has my back, so naturally he believes

“So what if I do? Haven’t I done it enough over the years? Every single time five left you in pieces, then I run to Lachie with some sob story about you bullying me. Works like a cham every time. Oh dear, what can I do? Lachie loves me and has my back, so naturally be belen everything I say. And you, you expired goods, only deserve to cower in the corner, treated with nothing but contempt!”
Lillian even spat after finishing her speech, as rude as humanly possible, looking like a
domon.
Lachlan’s face turned ghostly pale. Lilian’s words repeatedly shattered his worldview,
pushing past every moral boundary!
“Go to hell!”
Lachlan couldn’t take it anymore and lunged forward, wanting to grapple with her
But he forgot he was using my body now, which was much too weak and no match for Lillian
at all!
“Smack!”
A harsh slap landed violently across Lachlan’s face!
Immediately followed by a second, a third… and many more, until Lachlan’s face swelied dramatically!
While I felt sorry for his face, I also felt sorry for myself. After all, I needed to use that body
again when I returned.
“Heh, such strength, yet you claim to be so delicate and helpless. I’m an idiot, a complete
and utter fool!”
Lachlan’s lip was bleeding from the slaps, but he couldn’t help letting out a cold laugh.
Lillian didn’t understand what he meant but continued with her sinister tone.
“You never learn, do you? Last time I gave you dozens of lashes, and here you are again!
What, have you developed a taste for my beatings? Can’t live without them now, huh? You’re absolutely pathetic!”
Lillian’s mouth was full of vile language.
Lachlan finally saw the truth and fell into complete despair!
“What do you think you’re doing in my room? Just wait till Lachie finds out what punishment he’ll give you… Will he break your leg? Or maybe chop off an arm? Why don’t I just take matters into my own hands… Either way, Lachie will always protect me, always care for me!
Lillian was playing mind games, still living in her fantasy world, even pretending to look for o
knife.
No way I’d let her have her way. I needed to enter at just the right moment!
“What’s going on here? Why all this commotion in the middle of the night?
“Lachie, you’re here!” Lillian squealed as she ran toward him.
