There was even a large number of fans declaring online that they were going to leave the fandom, and
swore to hate Lily forever.
Meanwhile, several of Lily's loyal fans expressed their disbelief and suspected that there had been a
mistake made during one of the investigative stages. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Similarly, Lily was also skeptical.
The police had actually issued an investigative report, and yet she had found out about it at the same
time as the other online users.
A shiver ran through Lily's body. How could this be?!
Did it mean that the public image she had built up these past few years and the career she fought so
hard for would be ruined in a day?
And yet, the worst had yet to come…
At the Reed Group, Jason's personal secretary, Terrence directly called both the Atkinson and Stevens
families to inform them of his employer's non-attendance at their engagement dinner.
Everyone naturally associated it with Lily's current negative press.
When Grace saw the police-issued investigation report, she was somewhat surprised.
She had not been expecting it to be released so quickly and that both Sean and Lily had been unable
to brush this under the table.
"That Lily sure is detestable. That day, she wanted so many of us to look for the ring, and ultimately,
she hadn't really lost anything!?”
In the Sanitation Service Center, everyone is wildly commenting on the incident.
"It's no wonder this is going viral—she’s heinous.”
"But this really doesn’t make any sense. I mean, she's such a huge celebrity, why would she claim that
she lost a ring and want us to look for it?" someone asks confusedly.
“She has nothing better to do."
Claire pulls me aside and asks, "That day… I noticed Lily speaking with you for quite some time. Do
you know her?"
Farah Steele, who happened to be walking past at that moment, hears the question and mockingly
replies, "Claire, are you joking? Grace might know Lily, but how would Lily know Grace? She's a
socialite from a respected family."
"But I saw Lily and Grace talking the day of the incident.”
"Maybe Grace offended Lily. That's why such a huge celebrity would intentionally claim that she lost a
ring.” Farah latches onto that line of thinking, which isn’t too far from the truth. "Well done, Grace. It
turns out that you were the one who dragged everyone into looking through the rubbish with you."
Farah persists in finding fault with me because of Gus. I’ve made it clear that I am not interested in
Gus. He’s a nice guy. He deserves better than me—better than Farah too.
Farah is mean-spirited.
“That’s not true nor is it fair,” Claire says. “Why would you blame this incident on Grace?”
But I’m done being bullied. Least of all by this petty human. "So if someone is being deceitful, you don't
shame that person but instead you blame someone else for hurting that deceitful person? Your
perception of right and wrong sure is interesting."
Farah's face turns red. She glares at me with hatred before stomping away.

LILY
In the Reed Pack mansion, I stand beside my father and wait.
This is NOT good.
My father is furious. I know Sean’s angry too.
Dad and I wait with baited breath for Alpha Jason Reed.
"You immature girl, how could you have stirred up such trouble? Grace is currently just a sanitation
worker. There's such a huge difference in both of your social standings. What is there to compare?"
My father Harold is fully the Alpha now. I can’t expect any leniency because he is my father.
"Why did she have to murder my sister? If it weren't for her, Jason wouldn't have taken his anger out on
the Stevens Pack. It’s all her fault! And what about the projection ads that Sean commissioned —did
you forget about those? Jason Reed had all of those taken down too!” Lily shouts.
Harold’s expression shifts, then he whispers. “Don’t think I don’t know what you did to old Alpha
Cummins…”
