    “What did you say? You installed surveince in your bedroom? Are you some kind of pervert?”

    Marilyn froze, her face nk with shock.

    A bedroom was for sleeping–she had never imagined Lily would dare put cameras inside.

    Lily was speechless at her ignorance.

    Of course she would never ce cameras in her be

    or walk–in closet.

    But her jewelry room was different. Filled with priceless pieces, it ihad /ito be monitored. Even if the servants normally wouldn’t touch her things, people’s hearts couldn’t be read. Protection was necessary.

    She didn’t waste another breath on Marilyn. Her words were cold and sharp. “Return everything. Or I call the police.”

    “You’re being unfair!”

    Marilyn clutched the pendants at her chest and stumbled back. “Lily and I are both daughters–inw of the Luke family., Why do you shower her with jewels but give me nothing? Those treasures belong to the Luke family–they should be half mine! So what if I took a few pieces?”

    Grace shut her eyes for a long moment.

    When she opened them again, the disgust in her gaze was vast and fathomless.

    They had never intended to y favorites.

    But Marilyn’s actions were beyond contempt. The Luke family’s wealth was not conjured from thin air–why waste it on a scheming, dishonest woman?

    If Victor wanted to spend his own fortune on her, they wouldn’t interfere.

    But their property? Even if she coveted it, she would never get it.

    Grace had no patience left. “Ivan, call the police. Give everything back to Lily.”

    At the word “police,” Marilyn’s blood ran cold.

    Though every part of her ached at the thought of surrendering what she had taken, she forced herself toply for now. She could wait. Once Lily lost her child and was cast out of the Luke family, all of it would belong to her anyway.

    Through gritted teeth, she stripped the jewelry from her body piece by piece, her heart bleeding with every sp undone.

    “And the rest?”

    When Marilyn stopped moving after handing over the items she wore, Lily’s voice cut like a de.

    Grinding her teeth, Marilyn fought the urge to scream.

    She hated the thought of giving up what she had already stashed elsewhere, but she remembered—the cameras in Lily’s jewelry room. She had no choice.

    Stomping her foot in frustration, she finally led them to Victor’s room.

    Inside his wardrobe, which once held only men’s clothing, hung rows of women’s

    couturei. /i

    All brand new, tags still attached–most of them pieces James had sent for Lily.

    The closet shelves were lined with limited–edition handbags.

    Ivan picked one up. It was heavy. Suspicion flickered across his face. He yanked it open–and sure enough, it was stuffed with glittering jewelry,

    “You’re really going to marry a thief?”

    Ivan’s patience snapped. He had wanted to respect Victor’s choice.

    But Marilyn’s petty thefts, her disgraceful behavior, were intolerable,

    He couldn’t stand the thought of such a woman bing his sister–inw.

    “Marriage is for life,” he said bluntly. “Think carefully.”

    He knew he had touched Marilyn, and that meant he owed her responsibility.

    But theft disgusted him to the core. Doubt gnawed at him, weighing down every word.

    After a long silence, he finally said coldly, “I feel no love for you. Even when I’m sober, I can’t bear your touch. If we marry, we will only ever be husband and wife in name. If you refuse, I willpensate you financially.”

    “My first time was with you–you must take full responsibility!”

    Marilyn panicked.

    Yes, she knew he would offer money–tens of millions, at least. Butpared to the Luke family’s vast fortune, it was nothing but scraps.

    And worse, she had already bragged to Zhou Xinghui and her so–called friends. If Victor refused to marry her, they would mock her to death.

    Terrified he would change his mind, she broke down in tears again. “You promised to take responsibility! I’ll never anger Lily again, no matter how much the elders favor her. I won’t touch the family’s things without permission. Please, Victor—I might already be carrying your child. You can’t abandon us…”

    His child.

    Victor shut his eyes, sickened.

    He couldn’t even imagine what kind of creature the two of them might bring into the world.

    Butst night, he had been the one to lose control. He had given his word.

    And because of that, he was bound. He couldn’t walk away.
