Chapter 401 The ps She Deserved
Nancy’s expression darkened the moment she saw Mathilda.
The vige Lily had been trafficked to… it was the very same vige where the Ginger family had once found Mathilda.
That connection made Nancy’s blood run cold.
Without hesitation, she stepped out of the car and walked straight toward her.
Behind them, Ivan pulled up in another vehicle, with Grace and Henry seated inside.
They too remembered exactly where Mathilda had been rescued.
They shared Nancy’s suspicion.
As soon as the car stopped, both elders got out and followed their daughter–inw.
“Mr. Henry, Madam Grace,” Mathilda greeted them sweetly after nodding to nc and Nancy.
Her big dewy eyes blinked with practiced innocence, and she lifted the food container in her hands with a sugary smile. “I made some snacks myself. Would you like to try them?”
For a pampered heiress<b>, </b>cooking by hand was rare.
Mathilda believed this humble gesture would make her seem virtuous and considerate–the perfect, candidate for James’s wife.
She expected praise.
Instead-
<i>Smack! </i>
Pain exploded across her cheek.
Her eyes widened in shock as she realized–Nancy had pped her.
“Madam Nancy…”
Tears instantly welled in her eyes.
She was James’s fiancée. She was wless.
She had truly believed that once Lily was out of the picture, the Luke family woulde to their <b>senses </b>and marry her to James.
She had been so gentle, so sweet, so “thoughtful“-and this was how Nancy responded?
The humiliation and fury surged within her. She nearly lost control of <b>her </b>expression, but <b>she </b><b>forced </b>herself to maintain her pitiful demeanor. Tears streamed down her <b>face </b>in fat, dramatic <b>drops</b>.

Nancy wasn’t moved. In fact<b>, </b>she looked repulsed.
Smack!
Another p–fierce and swift.
“Lily was trafficked to that mountain vige. That was <i>your </i>doing, wasn’t it?”
Mathilda’s heart skipped a beat.
She had thought she covered her tracks well. That no one would ever know.
No one was supposed to find Lily–much less rescue her.
Had that little bitch made it out alive?
The thought made her fingertips tremble with rage.
But she’d always been good at ying innocent. She lowered her head and whimpered, “Madam <b>Nancy</b>. L I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I only heard about Lily and James’s divorce<b>. </b>I felt bad for him, and I was worried you’d be upset too. So I made these snacks for you… I really do think of Lily as family. I would never hurt her. Wait<b>–</b>she <b>was </b>trafficked? Was she… did they hurt her? Did you find her? I’m so worried. I have to <b>see </b>her<b>!</b>”
She burst into loud sobs, swaying like she might faint from grief.
She sounded like she cared so deeply.
But Nancy had had enough of her crocodile tears.
<i>Smack</i><i>! </i>
Another p.
Cold fury burned in Nancy’s eyes. She red at Mathilda, every word sharp and biting. <i>“</i>Take your disgusting snacks and get out of my sight. The stench of your fake sweetness makes me want to vomit.”
“Don’t think just because Lily and James divorced, you can do whatever you want to her. Lily is my daughter. And once I get the proof that you orchestrated her kidnapping, I’ll make sure you suffer more than you can imagine. Now get lost.”
“Madam Nancy, I swear I didn’t-”
Mathilda choked back her sobs, trying her best to look pitiful.
But Nancy was unmoved.
She turned to Ivan with disgust. “Ivan, if I can’t swat this fly away, let the dogs out. Have them drive her off.”
Then she climbed back into the car and told nc to start driving–and to assign someone <b>to </b><b>keep </b><b>eyes </b>on Mathilda.

<b>Ivan </b>didn’t hesitate.
Momentster, he emerged from the back courtyard with two snarling <b>German </b><b>Shepherds </b><b>on </b>leashes
<b>As </b>soon as they barked, low and menacing, and Ivan started telling them to bite, <b>Mathilda’s </b>act copsed.
Screaming in terror<b>, </b>she bolted for her car and scrambled inside, fleeing in disgrace.
Only when she made it safely into the Ginger family estate did her panic finally subside.
Her face still throbbed. Her humiliation still burned.
She realized now–Lily must have made it back to Capital City.
But so what?
Even if that little b*tch had somehow survived, she’d never let her live peacefully <b>again</b>.
No one would believe Lily hade out of that ce “clean.”
Even if those mountain scum hadn’t gotten their hands on her, Mathilda would make <b>sure </b><b>the </b><b>world </b>believed they had.
She would ruin herpletely.
