Chapter 27 Arranged Marriage

Yunice was so shocked bthat /bshe took a step back, but she didn’t cry out.

Genna was pleased with her reaction. She smiled and nodded at Lily. This girl is steady. She can live a good life.”

Hearing that, Lily’s expression visibly brxed/b. She replied, “She was raised infort. As long as you approve of her, that’s good enough.”

Genna grinned so wide that the flesh on her face trembled. “She is good, just a little too skinny. Might not be beasy /bfor her to bear childrenb” /b

Yunice understood immediately. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at Lily “Mom, bwho /bis she?”

Lily knew Yunice wasn’t asking for a name. She reached out bto /bsoothe her. “Your brother asked me to arrange your marriage. Genna is an old friend of mine, Her son is honest and dependable. If you marry him, you won’t suffer.”

Genna quickly chimed in. That’s right! You won’t have to do banything /bat my house. Just lie in bed and give birth to a son.

Yunice turned around, her face cold. “And what if I can’t bhave /ba son?”

Genna didn’t realize she was being mocked band /bsaid, “It’s fine if you have ba /bdaughter. Just keep having kids. You’ll get a son eventually

Alright. Yunice now understood exactly what kind of family this was. She nced at the coffee btable/b, picked up the teapot, and poured it over Genna’s head! The tea was at a drinkable temperature, but it still made Genna yelp as she iled her hands in the air.

Yunice had no intention of stopping. She chased after her, pouring more tea bover /bher head.

Genna couldn’t bsit /bstill anymore. She jumped up and ran while screaming, “Lily! What’s wrong with your daughter?!”

Yunice said sharply. “I have mental illness. Sorry, when I have an episode, I like to hit people. Please be understanding!”

With that,

grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it near Genna’s feet. Genna clutched her chest in fear band /bran outside, yelling at Lily as she went. “If she’s mentally ill, why didn’t you say so earlier? Are you trying to make my son go crazy too: Lily, you’re a fraud! I’m going to expose you on the matchmaking site!”

“Oh“” Lily stood up anxiously. Yunice turned to blook /bat her. Lily opened her mouth but hesitated, then sat back down on the couch, not daring to take a sound.

Seeing that Lily didn’t dare move and Giana wasn’t home, Yunice went straight to the yard to find the tree Gill had mentioned. She then started digging.

She knew that once Owen came back, she wouldn’t escape a beating. So she figured, since she was already in btrouble/b, she might as well get everything bdone /bin one go. The shovel hit something solid. Yunice crouched down, brushed away the dirt, and pulled out a stic box.

She carried the box back to her room. Lily kept ncing at her but didn’t bdare /bintervene.

Inside her room. Yunice threw a piece of clothing over the surveince camera, locked the door with a chain, then sat on the floor and started going through what Gill had left her.

The stic box was filled with things wrapped in stic. The moment she opened it, a musty smell hit her. Most of it was old paper, notebooksb, /band random scribbles.

Gall wasn’t well–educated, but bshe /bknew Yunice treasured written records. So instead of keeping any bvaluable /bitems, she bhad /bonly saved these scraps of paper

And it was precisely because they were worthless that the Saunders bfamily /bbhadn’t /bnoticed them. But to Yunice, these tattered pages were priceless!

She checked the surveince feed and saw Elsie’s car pulling in. Owen stepped out, rubbing his temples, looking exhausted.

Elsie, on the other hand, had reddened eyes and looked like she had done something wrong.

ording to their original n, Owen and Elsie bwere /bsupposed to be out discussing business deals. But not only had theye back early, they both looked troubled..

What happened?

Owen walked straight into the living room, with Elsie trailing behind, apologizing nonstop. “Owen, it’s all my fault. I was too eager to prove myself, too eager to help the bfamily/b, and that’s why things turned out like this. This ident bis /bentirely my responsibility. I’m willing to go to jail for it.

Owen reassured her, “No one goes through life without making mistakes. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I’ll take care of

As he spoke, he looked up band /bsaw Lily sitting on the couch, wiping her tears, trying tofort her. Lily shook her head, a few tears falling as she said she couldn’t eat.

Owen quickly bwalked /bover. “bMom/b, what’s wrong?”

Lily shook her head and forced ba /bsmile. Tm fine.”

Giana huffed. “Fine? You’ve been crying all day and haven’t eaten a single bite.”

Owen noticed the iPad next to Lily and picked it up. It was open to a matchmaking website. A post had been pinned to the top in bold, eye–catching letters–Shameful Lily. She’s a fraud! Beware!

Owen clicked on: the post and read through the details. That was when he found out that Yunice had beaten up the mother of her matchmaking prospect!
