    It wasn’t just the handbags in Marilyn’s hands that were missing.

    Clearly, she had alreadye by at least once or twice before.

    Her greed knew no limits–she wanted to strip Lily’s room of every jewel and designer piece.

    And not just jewelry and bags…

    A chilling thought struck Lily. She rushed into the adjoining walk–in closet.

    Sure enough, half the racks were bare. Many of the couture outfits she had never

    even worn were gone.

    Just recently, James had sent her a collection of the newest Luke Corp spring couture. Not a single piece remained.

    Staring at the empty hangers, Lily’s head buzzed as if it might explode.

    She remembered this morning, learning that Marilyn was going to marry Victor, and the sourness she had felt. She had even recalled that time she’d seen Marilyn sitting on James’sp.

    Still, she knew the Luke family’s sense of responsibility. If Victor had touched Marilyn, he would take responsibility for her.

    Lily had thought that as long as Marilyn settled down and lived properly with Victor, she, as a sister–inw, would get along with her.

    But she had underestimated Marilyn’s malice. To think she would sneak into her rooms and steal her things.

    “Put that down!”

    Lily strode back into the jewelry room, her voice sharp.

    Marilyn had never seen so many priceless jewels before. The glittering contents of the cab made her eyes

    shine.

    In her mind, everything here had been given to Lily by the Luke family, which meant it should belong to her too. She was determined to take as much as she could.

    So focused was she on stuffing her haul that she hadn’t even noticed Lily enter.

    Startled by the sudden voice, she flinched, but still shoved the Patek Philippe diamond watches in her hands into a purse.

    James often kept duplicate sets of jewelry for Lily, both in their vi and at the Luke estate. The watches Marilyn had just snatched had only been delivered days ago, along with a collection of dazzling diamond nes.

    Now those nes were nowhere to be seen. They were either in Marilyn’s bags or already hidden elsewhere.

    At first, Marilyn looked a little guilty. But it quickly shifted to arrogance.

    She had always been close to Elsa, and before Lily married into the Luke family, she had heard plenty about her.

    Lily had doted on John, and John had never liked spending on her. She came from nothing her parents had died when she was young, and she was an outcast, a fake heiress kicked out of her own family.

    There was no way she could have earned all this.

    The couture, the limited–edition bags, the priceless jewels–they were all from the Luke family.

    And Marilyn was a Luke daughter–inw too. If these were gifts from the family, then naturally she deserved a share.

    No–more than a share. She had saved Victor’s life. The Luke family owed her everything. She should get the lion’s portion.

    The more she thought about it, the higher her chin lifted.

    With no Luke family elders nearby, she didn’t even bother pretending anymore.

    Her voice was mocking, dripping with disdain. “Lily, James already divorced you. Yet you still cling to him. Shameless. The only reason he keeps you is because of

    that baby in your belly. You’re so loose, willing to do anything with anyone. You’ve been used up by man after man. Do you even know who the father really is? Carrying some bastard’s child and forcing it onto James, pushing him to marry you–you disgust me!”

    “Smack!”

    Lily rarely hit people.

    But some mouths deserved it.

    Ignoring Marilyn’s shock and fury, she pped her across the face. “Put my things down.”

    “You bitch, you dare hit me?”

    Marilyn stood frozen, stunned into silence.

    It took nearly half a minute before she slowly raised her hand to clutch her stinging cheek.

    She was Victor’s savior, a Luke daughter–inw. Even now, she couldn’t quite believe Lily had dared strike her.

    “I hit you because you are a bitch.”

    Lily didn’t hesitate. She swung again, putting her full strength behind it, another resounding p.

    She might not be able ito /ioverpower a man, but she had grown up training in opera with her parents. Even after their deaths, she had never abandoned the discipline.

    Her strength was far greater than that of an ordinary woman.
