    Marilyn still feared nc. His sharp rebuke had silenced her instantly.

    Only when he looked away did she dare mutter under her breath, “It must be Lily, she told them to frame me! She just can’t stand to see me well. She’s so vicious!”

    “Shut up!”

    Victor’s disgust was palpable.

    It was obvious these two had been brought in by James. Whether or not Elsa and Marilyn were truly behind the scheme didn’t matter–Elsa had targeted Lily again and again, and Marilyn was selfish and vile. James had every right to have them named.

    “I’m so scared…”

    Jennie’s real trade was her body, so she had no shame in being exposed.

    But with Ashton’s instructions in mind, she unleashed her full theatrics, tears streaming as she whimpered pitifully. “I was a good family’s daughter… but because I looked a little like Ms. Ginger, Elsa and Marilyn forced me to do those things with Winston. We didn’t want to. But they threatened us. They said if we didn’t obey and let them film us, they’d cut us to pieces and feed us to dogs! I don’t want to die like that… I was terrified…”

    Elsa and Marilyn could taste blood in their mouths from sheer rage.

    How could anyone fake it better than they could?

    This Jennie was disgusting. What kind of trash had Jimmy dug up?

    “They… they brought men with tattoos to block us in. They said if I didn’t obey, they’d let those men have me before chopping me up. I just wanted to live. I had no choice but to do it. But now the whole world has seen that video, seen me at my lowest. I can’t face my family. My boyfriend left me. My parents want to disown me. What’s the point of living? Let me die…”

    Swaying on her feet, she lurched toward the wall as if to smash her head.

    Even Ashton, always steady, was stunned by her performance.

    He had only told her to “y it up.” He hadn’t expected brilliance.

    Winston, unwilling to be outdone, jumped in.

    “I can’t face anyone either…” he choked, and flung himself toward the wall as well.

    Ashton snapped back, shouting for his men to hold them.

    Several audience members from the front rows rushed the stage to stop them.

    The pair fought wildly, crying, “Let us go! Let us die! Don’t stop us–please!”

    The crowd, hearts aching, tried to soothe them.

    “The video’s already been taken down. You’re the victims–we won’t look down on you.”

    “Exactly. You’re not the guilty ones. Hurting yourselves only makes Elsa and Marilyn’s cruelty more triumphant.”

    “Yes! Those two devils must pay for what they did!”

    “Elsa is disgusting–more and more disgusting by the day!”

    “And Marilyn’s no better! She calls Lily ‘sister–inw,’ then tries to ruin her behind her back. Two–faced snake. She’s filthier than the maggots in atrine!”

    Hearing that, Elsa’s eyes nearly oozed venom.

    She wanted to scream the truth–that Lily had set her up.

    But fear gnawed at her–no one would believe her. Worse, they’d tear her apart. She couldn’t risk revealing herself.

    The insults grew harsher, and Marilyn finally broke.

    She rushed forward, tears streaming, shrieking, “Stop spitting lies! I didn’t order you! I’m innocent! Why are you biting me like mad dogs? You have to believe me—I respect Lily, I’d never use such filthy tricks against her! I-”

    “You, a thief who stole my girlfriend’s jewelry, handbags, and clothes–think

    trust?”

    James’s voice was cutting, merciless. “Marilyn, you’ve schemed against my wife again and again. I will see you held ountable.”

    “I didn’t! I swear I didn’t!”

    Driven frantic, Marilyn turned her fury on Winston and Jennie, shrieking, “You’re helping Lily frame me—you’ll be punished, all of you! You’ll pay!”
