Chapter 268 Elsa This Is Your Problem
“The woman on the bed isn’t. Mrs. Luke? Then what the heck was Yvonne screaming about just now
“Exactly. And that Mathilda–acting all sweet and innocent, but every word out of her mouth was meint <b>jo </b>tear Mrs. Luke down. So disgusting”
“I was wondering, <b>too</b><b>, </b>Mr. Lake is incredible–there’s no way Mrs. Luke would ever be into some old creep like Reese. Someone was definitely trying to smear her”
“Mrs. Luke is standing right here, she clearly isn’t the one in bed. So who is that wornan<b>?</b>”
Almost as if trying to clear up the confusion for everyone, just as the voice faded, Wendy huffed in annoyance and kicked off the suit jacket draped over her. She even poured coquettishly and rolled over seductively.
That’s when the crowd finally saw lier face.
“<b>Ahh</b>!”
The moment they got a clear look at her, Elsa–who was alwaysposed and aloof–let out a shrill <b>scream</b>,pletely losing her usual poise, “Mom? How could it be <b>you</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Elsa couldn’t ept what she was seeing.
She and Wendy had nned everything so carefully.
First, they bribed <b>a </b>maid to ruin Lily’s dress, and when Lily went to the lounge to change, they had the pervy old man Reese waiting there, lusting after her beauty,
They’d even arranged for incense to be lit in the lounge, so Lily would get confused and dazed, <b>and </b>Reese could take full advantage.
Of course, Wendy hadn’t told Reese that someone would be catching them in the act.
After all, Reese was terrified of Nora. He wouldn’t dare let her <b>find </b>out he was up to something sleazy.
But even if he got caught in bed with someone, Reese would just think he got unlucky and wouldn’t me Wendy.
would Then, Lily would be publicly humiliated,beled a shameless tramp: Nora, with her fiery temper, likely rip Lily’s face to shreds, and Lily would never be able to recover. It was supposed to be perfect.
But man ns, and fateughs. Like some kind of nightmare, the woman in the bed… turned out to be Wendy.
Elsa prayed this was just a dream/
But when she pinched herself hard, the woman still lying there–exposed, disheveled–was her own mother, Wendy.
Her biological mother <b>had </b>really slept with that creepy pervert Reese, and in front of a room full of people! What will everyone, think <i>of </i>Wendy now? And with a mother that filthy, what will they think of me, Elsa?

<b>The </b>sneers and Jeers from the crowd toward Wendy sent rage trembling through Blues enún
She had lived her whole life proud, dignified–she had never been this humited.
For a moment, she <b>wanted </b>to flee.
But she couldn’t run now, couldn’t back down. If no one stepped in to handle this mess, <b>Wendy’s </b>disgrace would drag her down with it.
She could only grit her teeth, storm forward, rip the soiled bedsheet off the mattress, and throw it over Wendy’s body. She raised her voice, trying to wake her up.
“Mom, wake up! What the heck happened with Mr. Reese? Someone set you up, right?”
Reese didn’t dare mess with Nora, <b>but </b>his <b>fastes </b>outside the home were nasty, and Wendy reeked.
Still, desperate to wake her mother up, Elsa swallowed her disgust and pinched Wendy hard in secret.
The incense in the room had already burned out.
After Mathilda opened a window with a pale face, a cold wind rushed in, helping Wendy regain some rity. The sharp pain from Elsa’s pinch snapped her fully awake.
“Elsa?
Wendy lifted her head and looked around, confused, “Why are there so many people here? Where are we? What about our n…”
Elsa frantically signaled her to shut up.
Wendy caught on immediately and mped her mouth <b>shut</b>.
That’s when she noticed Reese, curled up naked on the floor with a bruised, swollen face.
She suddenly became aware of the strange feeling in her own body. In a panic, she pulled the sheet up peeked underneath.
Seeing she waspletely naked, she let out a piercing scream.
“<b>What </b>happened? This isn’t-
Wendy’s whole body trembled; she mped both hands over her mouth.
She didn’t finish the sentence, but Lily knew exactly <b>what </b>she was going to <b>say</b>.
She was going to say that she was supposed to be the one in bed with Reese, how the heck had <i>it </i>turned out to be her <b>Destead</b>?
No one understood the twist in Wendy and Elsa’s n better than Lily.
Looking at Wendy now, wrapped in a filthy sheet, wretched and pitiful–Lily’s mind drifted back to what had happened just thirty minutes earlier.
The ballroom had been wide open, and Lily had been <b>standing </b>somewhere rtively <b>quiet </b>when a maid
and
Chapter 268 Elsa This Is Your Problem
“identally” bumped into her. That alone had been suspicious.
Even then, Lily had grown wary
She’d followed the maid upstairs without making a scene–just to find out who was behind this, and to <b>make </b>sure that person paid the price.
After the maid brought her to the lounge, she had left quickly.
Lily didn’t change clothes. Instead, she covered her mouth and nose and hid silently behind the door.
