Chapter 2

He held Winnie, yet blamed me for embarrassing him.

If I could, I'd really like to slap him hard.

Unexpectedly, Lily and I were on the same wavelength.

She stood on tiptoe and delivered a fierce slap to Brian's face.

"Dad, you're a jerk. Mom..."

I was shocked! Brian was even more incredulous.

A daughter slapping her father was considered extremely disrespectful and unfilial.

"Lily, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing?

"It must be your mom who put you up to this!"

Brian shoved Lily to the ground.

"Go back and tell your mom that I'll divorce her as soon as I get home."

I hadn't done anything, yet in Brian's eyes, I was always the unreasonable one.

Winnie, not expecting things to escalate, hurriedly stepped in to mediate.

"Lily, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have asked your mom to bring the medication.

"We were just playing a game. I didn't expect your mom to actually come.

"But, this is all grown-up stuff. It's wrong of your mom to drag you into this."

As she spoke, she pretended to gently stroke Lily's head.

Her pretentious words made me sick.

This wasn't a game; it was clearly a move to declare her dominance, eager to take my place.

Lily only knew that the person responsible for her mother's death was a woman named Winnie.

So, she bit Winnie hard on the hand.

"That hurts, Brian..."

Brian, already furious, saw Lily biting and became even more enraged.

A loud slap sent Lily sprawling on the ground.

Her face bore five bright red finger marks.

"Are you crazy? Just as insane as your mom."

I felt heartbroken for Lily!

I wanted to avenge Lily, but my hand passed right through Brian's face.

What did Lily do wrong?

She only wanted to tell that scoundrel Brian about my death, yet she was harshly shoved out by her own father.

Brian, looking worried, gently rubbed and caressed Winnie's hand.

"Are you okay, Winnie? It's my fault for not raising my daughter properly."

Such a gentle tone—something he hadn't used since courting me.

"This must be Whitney's doing, instructing Lily to act up. I'll divorce her as soon as I get home."

Divorce? It seemed he couldn't wait to be with Winnie.

I was his lawful wife.

And she's just a home-wrecking mistress.

How could he treat his wife and daughter this way?

Winnie deliberately rubbed the bite mark, crying pitifully.

"Brian, don't blame Lily. Blame me for calling Whitney to bring the medication.

"It's all my fault. I caused Lily to hate me so much!

"I never expected Lily to bite me. It's all my fault, all my fault!"

"Hurry and apologize to Auntie Winnie!

"You're so young, yet already misbehaving!"

Lily wiped the blood from her mouth and stared coldly at Brian, her eyes full of disappointment.

"I won't! She's the one who should apologize!"

I got hit by a truck and was torn to pieces because of a prank call.
