When she said that, Margaret’s voice dripped with contempt for Lillian. In her mind, an Omega who grew up in an orphanage like Lillian couldn’t even get past the front gate of Harborview Towers–how the hell would she manage to set a fire there?

But the next moment, she started reevaluating exactly what Lillian was capable of.

Marcus called again. “Alpha, your two villas in the east hills got trashed.”

Margaret’s voice shot up instantly. “What?!”

Rage surged through her, barely contained.

First the penthouse at Harborview Towers, and now the villas in the east hills?

What was this–someone trying to make her homeless?

Whoever the bastard was behind this, they’d better pray Margaret never found out. Because if she did, she’d destroy them.

“Find out who did this. Dig deep. I want names,” Margaret snarled into the phone.

Lillian’s POV:

That night, Helen made me a late snack. I ate a little and headed straight to the guest room to sleep.

Julian was off doing whatever the hell Julian did.

The second I lay down, George called, “Miss, it’s all handled.”

‘What about the penthouse?” I asked.

didn’t care much about the two smaller villas. That was just collateral damage.

What would really cut deep was the Harborview Towers place.

Margaret stayed there all the time.

She probably kept a lot of important things in that penthouse. Valuables. Documents.

Margaret wanted to send me a message by trashing my place on Galaxy Road.

This… was my message back.

George said, “The whole place went up. Even if the fire department gets it under control, there won’t be much left but the frame”

I said, “Good. Make sure there’s no trail.”

Nothing left.

That worked for me.

George said, “Don’t worry.”

Over the years, working beside Edmund, George had handled plenty of jobs like this. Cleaning up after was second nature to him.

They really were siblings.

George couldn’t help but notice some of Edmund’s ruthlessness in Lillian.

Not long after the call with George ended, Julian came back.

He found the room, pushed the door open, and stood in the doorway without stepping inside.

With the light behind him, his expression was hard to read.

Lillian had a habit of playing a round of some mobile game every night before bed.

The second Julian opened the door, he could hear the rapid gunfire and explosions blasting from her phone.

And Lillian, propped against the headboard, hadn’t even glanced up since he appeared in the doorway.

The anger Julian had carried all the way home?

It exploded the moment he saw her sitting there, gaming like nothing was wrong.

He crossed the room in a few strides, snatched the phone out of her hand, and slammed it onto the floor. The crack echoed through the room.

The chaotic battle sounds cut out instantly.

Lillian finally looked up at him. Her deep eyes held nothing but cold.

She pushed the covers aside and got out of bed.

She grabbed the vase off the nightstand and–mimicking his move exactly–smashed it to the floor. The same sharp crack.

Julian stared at her.

Lillian bent down, picked up her phone, and examined it. Dead. Screen shattered.

Julian watched her–that eerily calm, almost hollow demeanor. “You don’t have anything to say to me?”

Lillian said, “That phone cost twelve hundred. I’ll have my lawyer add it to the settlement when we dissolve the bond.”

Julian just stared at her.

That was her response?

But was that what he wanted to hear?

Hearing that flat, detached tone made him feel like his chest was about to explode.

“How did you pull this off? Are you out of your damn mind?”

He meant the Harborview Towers fire. The two villas. He’d already heard about all of it.

Something that big going down at Harborview Towers? Margaret was probably ready to tear someone apart.

Lillian looked at him calmly and said nothing.

Julian’s jaw tightened. “Did Finn help you?”

Just saying the name made the fury in his voice impossible to hide.

Lillian said, “My place on Galaxy Road got trashed an hour after Margaret landed. Did you know that?”

Julian said nothing.

Watching his face freeze, Lillian dropped the broken phone into the trash can. “I thought you’d ask me why I did it.”

Julian stayed silent.

Lillian turned to face him. “But from what you just said, sounds like you already decided I started this.”
