Chapter 72

Lily was sprawled on the floor, totally out of it. Suddenly, she jumped to her feet and yelled, “It wasn’t me. None of that was what I wanted. I was forced.

“It was Miranda. She threatened me. If I didn’t smoke, drink, or in with her crowd, she said she’d beat me to death.”

Lily clung to Vivian’s hand, practically screaming, “Mom, I didn’ want to do it. But if I didn’t, they would’ve killed me.

“And as for Hazel, I-I admit it. I snapped, okay? I took it out on zel. But I couldn’t help myself. They messed with me so bad, I just lost it. I needed to blow off steam.”

As she spoke, Lily dropped to her knees, bawling her eyes out. Vivian and Martin watched, torn between anger and heartbreak.

Vivian exploded, “How dare they treat you like this? They’re asking for it. Don’t be scared, Lily. Tomorrow, I’ll make them pay. I’ll make sure they rot in jail.”

Then she turned to Sarah. “Mrs. Swanson, you heard her. None of this was Lily’s fault. She was set up. Just let her off the hook this time. Tomorrow, I’ll go after the ones who did this to her.”

Sarah, Nina, and Ethan were speechless.

‘Seriously? How the hell did someone this dumb end up as a professor of human intelligence? That pathetic performance, those lame excuses full of holes, and she actually swallowed every word?’ they couldn’t help but think.

Sarah was absolutely furious. She snapped, “Pack up Lily’s stuff and kick her out. She’s never allowed back in this house again.”

“Mrs. Swanson, you can’t do this.” Vivian grabbed Sarah’s hand. “Lily’s just a kid. If you throw her out, she’s got nowhere to

“I know she messed up, but I’ll make her apologize to Nina. Please, just let her off this once. For all those times she’s been such a good kid, okay?”

“Let her off?” Sarah shot back. “Whoever cared about what Nina went through? Who took on her pain for her? You think a simple apology will fix this? If Ryan hadn’t shown up in time, would I be burying Nina tomorrow?”

Sarah yanked her hand away. “Enough with the excuses. Pack her things and get her out of here.”

“Mrs. Swanson, I’m begging you.” Vivian dropped to her knees with a thud. “Lily is the child I’ve poured my heart and soul into raising.

“She’s about to start at Betrico University, and she’ll bring so much glory to our family. You can’t kick her out now.”

Sarah frowned down at Vivian, pleading right in front of her. “What’s wrong with you? Nina is your real daughter, and Lily nearly killed her. You don’t feel for Nina, but you’re actually begging me for the one who almost destroyed her?”

Sarah was honestly stunned. She just couldn’t believe it. Vivian had always been proud and headstrong, a top professor in human intelligence research.

Over the years, she’d turned every branch of the Swanson famils kids into overachievers. She’d never known what it felt like to beg anyone for anything.

But now, she was actually pleading for Lily. That was something Sarah just couldn’t wrap her head around.

“Look, Nina’s okay, isn’t she?” Vivian pleaded. “Ryan’s always got her back, but Lily’s got no one in her corner except me. I’m begging you, please? Just let her stay. I promise I’ll watch over he and make sure she doesn’t mess up again.”

“Okay, I’ll send it right now.” Any other day, Vivian would’ve shot back. But now, she didn’t dare. She whipped out her phone and sent Nina the 3 million.
