Chapter 183 

Gavin was stunned and said, “Shirley? Heh, so the eldest lady from the Tuttle family is Shirley?” 

Marie frowned and didn’t understand what Gavin said. Gavin poured her a glass of water and explained, “The 

Tuttle family had another daughter before, but her identity was quite mysterious. This woman had never 

appeared in public in the upper class. Illana is the illegitimate daughter of the Tuttle family, and was brought 

back to the Tuttle family when she was almost five or six years old. I don’t know the details, but I’m surprised 

that Shirley is from the Tuttle family.” 

“There have been rumors in the industry that Shirley was riding on the coattails, but I haven’t seen Shirley 

show off based on that for so long. So I thought it was a rumor. If she had the Tuttle family backing her up, she should have been doing well in the entertainment industry, right?” Marie was very puzzled. 

Gavin took a sip of water and said, “The Tuttle family is complicated. You’d better ask Iliana about these 

things directly. Besides, she was drugged in her own house, and you should ask that as well. If this happens 

again, you can’t rush into the Tuttle family every time.” 

Marie nodded, chatted with Gavin for a while, and then went to Iliana’s ward. The thing that happened today 

must have caught Iliana off guard, so she didn’t wear makeup. She usually wore heavy makeup, and even 

Marie hadn’t seen her without makeup. 

Iliana’s face was so pale when she did not wear makeup, looking thinner. 

Marie stayed with Iliana for the whole day. Iliana woke up in the afternoon. She heaved a sigh of relief when 

she saw Marie. Then she asked, “Marie, did you save me?” 

Marie nodded and asked, “Are you still feeling unwell?” 

“No, thank you,” Iliana said. 

“Let’s stop talking about this. I’ll take you back to the apartment. If the netizens know that you are in the 

hospital, they will rush to the hospital.” Marie asked Luca to go through the discharge procedures. 

Iliana nodded and got in the

dr with Marie, Luca sent them all the way to the apartment in case anything 

After helping Iliana lie down on the bed, Marie poured her a glass of water and said, “Shouldn’t you tell me 

something?” 

Iliana held the cup and was silent for a long time. Then she pressed her lips and said, “We are good friends. 

Actually, I should have told you long ago, but I don’t know where to start.” 

“From the beginning…” Marie looked at Iliana and said, “Tell me, and only then will I know how to protect you.” 

Iliana smiled and nodded. Then she said, “Do you know the Tuttle family of New York? The Tuttle family focused on doing political business. Shirley was my half-sister. She was the only daughter of the Tuttle family, and my father, who was in politics, never wanted to take me home. How could he tolerate the stain of having an illegitimate daughter? 

Shirley was injured once and lost too much blood. She had Rh-negative blood, which was rare. I happened to

my mother 

have the same blood type as her. I thought I would be fine if I donated blood to save her once. But died, and then I was brought back to the Tuttle family. From then on, I became Shirley’s human blood bank. I had to help her no matter when she was injured, sick or needed a blood transfusion. Or I even needed to store 

useful blood for her.” 

Marie was shocked after hearing this. She thought that Mia treated her viciously enough by giving her 

medicine and making her a fool. She didn’t expect that Iliana’s life would be so miserable. She was a moving
