Colton slammed the table, warning those left, “Samuel isn’t firmly established yet. The Lawson residence is

unhappy with us right now. If any of you cause trouble foragain, Lily will be your fate.”

Yolanda’s back stiffened when Colton asked, “How are things between Yolanda and Charles? It’s tto have a

child.”

She lowered her lashes, still lost in thoughts about Lily’s situation and unable to snap out of it.

The bloodstains on the floor had been cleaned thoroughly, as if nothing had happened.

The consequence for a woman from the Grant residence cheating is this: letting her husband humiliate her at

will, with no one in the family intervening.

Her complexion turned pale. “It's the sas always. Charles has his own plans for the child.”

Jonathan Andrade nodded and sighed. “I have the highest expectations for you. Your parents raised you well, so

I'm not worried about you.”

Yolanda followed behind Linda Grant. As they stepped outside to get into the car, Linda smoothed back the hair

at her temples.

“If Lily contacts you, don’t respond. There's solid evidence of her affair. Dominic is petty and will make a big fuss

for a long time.”

This was a disgrace for the Grant residence. From now on, women from the Grant family might lose their

standing.

Yolanda lowered her eyelashes, looking obedient. “Mom, | understand.”

Linda still didn’t feel reassured and reminded her again, “Play up to Charles and act sweet in front of him. You've

known each other for years, and he has feelings for you. The Grants and the Sinclair manor are tightly linked in

business and can’t be separated for now.”

“Okay”

“About tonight, don’t say a word about it in front of your brother.”

Yolanda nodded slightly, though she couldn't truly figure out her brother Charles Grant.

Maybe even if Charles knew, he wouldn't do anything.

When she got back to the car, her mind was a mess, still echoing with the sound of Lily bowing and the screams

she made when dragged out by her hair.

The way that man treated her was like he was handling livestock.

Feeling a wave of disgust, she opened the group chats she was in and saw videos of Lily being humiliated one

after another by homeless men.

Everyone in the group was just there for the spectacle, repeating the sline over and over.

“This is what happens when a Grant woman cheats.”

Like a cursed chant, it etched itself into her mind.

She swallowed hard, and at that moment, her phone rang again.

[Yolanda, | beg you to save me. Please, for all the kindness I've shown you over the years. I'm losing my mind,

I'm really losing my mind!]

Yolanda knew this was sent by Aunt Lily.

She wanted to ignore it, but she knew that if she didn’t help Lily, in a few months, she would becmentally ill.

Lily was really kind to her. Shortly after she was brought into the Grant residence, she was locked in a dark room

for a week and developed post-traumatic mutism for a while.

At that time, Jonathan Andrade said, “If she can’t speak within a month, send her back to the orphanage.”

She couldn’t go back to the orphanage; it was kept afloat by the little money the Grant residence provided.

If she returned, everyone there would starve.

Lily was very patient, teaching her to speak over and over again.

Her marriage was already miserable then; Dominic often beat her, but she remained gentle, with a personality as

soft as moonlight.

Yolanda pressed her lips together and drove back to Moonbay Estate.

Charles arrived han hour earlier than her and saw the servants packing up a pile of clothes.

He asked, “What's wrong with these clothes?”

“Mrs. Sinclair said they need to be replaced with new ones.”

He didn’t say anything, just told Jack to prepare snew clothes for her.

While working in the study, Yolanda knocked and cin.

Tonight, the incident with Lily has becwell known inside the circle. Charles knew it too, seeing her looking

pale, he knew she had just cback from the Grant residence.

“Honey, Leo from the Lawson residence is your close friend. Could you possibly...”

She really had no other option but to cto Charles.

Charles didn’t even lift his eyelids. “That's Leo's uncle. Your aunt’s unfaithful bodyguard is an orphan raised by

the Lawson residence since childhood. This embarrassed the Lawson family a lot. That bodyguard will

probably be beaten to death tonight.”

The pride of the poor is worthless; the pride of the wealthy is above all, even more valuable than human life.

The one who took the photos of Lily with the bodyguard wasn’t from the Lawson residence but from their rival

company, and they used it as blackmail. That's why the Lawson family feels even more ashamed.

Charles threw the file onto the desk, his tone gentle. “You'd better not get involved in this. Besides, when your

Grant family married off the daughters, didn’t they say that if someone cheated, the man could handle it

however he wanted?”

Yolanda’s hand hanging at her side slowly clenched.

Charles stood up and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Honey, | saw you throw out all your clothes. Jack

bought you snew ones, shoes too.”

Mentioning this made Yolanda feel a bit sick to her stomach.

She turned to leave but heard him ask, “You slapped Vivian? Tomorrow, I'll set up a meeting, and you'll go

apologize.”

Who knows what Vivian whispered in his ear, but she definitely wouldn't admit she was the one who started the

provocation.

Charles cupped her face with both hands, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. “Just because she said a few

things about your studio? Since when did you get such a bad temper?”

“What if | don’t apologize?”

“She took it out on your studio. | won't interfere. But if your hard work is destroyed, you'll have a tough road.

ahead.”

She still doesn’t have what it takes to fight these big companies.

“Fine, | apologize.”

Charles chuckled softly and kissed her on the lips, “That's better.”

Yolanda was burning with anger inside. Back in her room, her chest heaved several times before she forced a

self-mocking smile.

If anyone is to blame, it’s myself for not being capable enough.

Lowering her lashes, her phone rang again at that moment. It was still a message from Lily, this tan address.

Looks like she escaped.

Yolanda thought it over for a few minutes, then decided to go out and get in the car.

When she drove to the address, she saw Lily dressed like a beggar.

“Aunt Lily,”

she called out.

Lily looked up. Her face was bruised and swollen, making her barely recognizable. She had clearly been beaten

badly.

Her body was covered in marks as well, and she grabbed Yolanda’s hand tightly.

“Yolanda, please takesomewhere. He's going to die, he’s going to die!”

Yolanda stood still, not moving.

Lily pulled for a while, then hung her head in despair. “Are you refusing to helptoo...?”

Logic told Yolanda that helping would cause trouble since Lily was most likely going to meet Jasper Clark.

But Charles just said that Jasper Clark would be killed tonight.
