While explaining, Lauren gestured with her hands, tears of anxiety swimming in her eyes.
“Lauren…” Alyssa’s heart ached as her eyes watered.
Given Lauren’s timid nature, Alyssa knew Lauren was forcing herself to speak the truth to clear her name.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. And he turned his piercing gaze to Líana’s pale face.
When he let go of her waist, Liana clung to him desperately. She ignored the pain in her hand.
“No, Jeremy, it’s not true! Allison provoked me first! I didn’t provoke her! Lauren’s mind isn’t good, don’t believe her!”
“Her mind isn’t good? Well, I think the only thing not good about her is her hairstyle. She explained everything clearly,” Landon sneered.
For Jeremy’s sake, he didn’t say anything too harsh. He couldn’t believe that Jeremy, the playboy, would treat Liana like his true love. He wasn’t easy to please, yet he was sticking to her like he was under a spell.
“Ms. Burton didn’t hurt you, right?” Jeremy took a deep breath, his voice tense.
With the witness present, Liana broke into a cold sweat. She dared not lie again.
“So, you slandered her?” Jeremy’s words cut through Liana like a knife.
“N–No, I-“
Liana began to shiver in fear, her body trembling like a leaf. Suddenly, she fainted from excessive nervousness and blood loss.
The ridiculous farce ended abruptly, with Liana being frantically shoved into an ambulance.
When Sean hurriedly arrived, Alyssa was with Mandy in the underground parking lot.
“I’m sorry! It’s all my fault! Something so big happened, yet I wasn’t by your side!” When he saw the blood–stained white handkerchief in Alyssa’s left hand, his heart sank. “How did you get hurt? Who did this to you? I’ll take care of them!”
“It’s okay, Sean. I know you had business to attend to at the company. It’s just a minor issue here,” Alyssa said. She gazed deeply at Mandy. “She took care of it for me.”
“What did I even take care of? I couldn’t even do anything for you despite my status.”
The thought of how Alyssa had been attacked by the Walshs tugged at her heartstrings.
“Lyse, why don’t you reveal your identity? Why do you have to endure this humiliation?
You should have told them you’re the young daughter of the Taylor family. Then, they would know what they would have to pay for offending you!”
Alyssa smiled faintly and shook her head lightly. She said, “Well, I have already left the Walshs. I don’t want them to know anything about me. No matter how dirty, bad, or hateful they are, they including Jeremy.
Sean was stunned He finally realized that Mandy also knew about Alyssa’s marriage.
“Yes, life is filled with suffering. The start of a relationship may be lovely and sweet. But it could also suffer a horrible ending. Let the past stay in the past,” Mandy said.
She pursed her lips and couldn’t help but smile. “Fortunately, Sue didn’t come today. Or else there might have been bloodshed.
“She has a strong personality. It’s probably because of her martial art background. She’s quick to seek revenge and swift in repaying kindness.”
They chatted for a while, laughing together along the way. Suddenly, Mandy hugged Alyssa.
“Lyse, I still feel sorry for you,” she said, choking on her words.
“There’s no need to feel sorry,” Alyssa said, her eyes red with tears.
With a gentle smile, she comforted Mandy, “With all of you by my side, I’m not upset at all.”
After receiving treatment, Liana was transferred to a normal ward. The doctor said she wasn’t seriously injured.
Although the wound was a little deep, it didn’t require stitches. She had fainted because of her excessive panic and ment*l tension.
“You finally woke up, Liana!” Rosaline cried by her bed. She sobbed as if she was in Liana’s wake.” I thought I would never see you again!”
“Alright, alright, stop mourning. Jeremy isn’t here. There’s no point in crying so loudly.
You’re bothering me,” Sophia said.
She crossed her arms and asked, “Have you figured out how to handle this situation?”
“Which situation?” Rosaline wiped away her tears, a little confused.
“Which situation? Don’t tell me you’ve messed up more than once?” Sophia sneered as she glared at her useless younger sister. 1
“Your failures are more than your successes. Do I look like a magical genie? I’ve been supporting you so that your daughter ends up with Jeremy. With that bird brain of yours, do you think your daughter could enter such a noble family? No way!”
Liana also held a grudge against her mother for being shortsighted and only caring about immediate benefits.
To make ends meet, she sold the necklace that Jeremy gave her. If it hadn’t ended up in the hands of the Taylor family, nothing would have happened today. Her relationship with Jeremy wouldn’t have been at risk.
“Sophia, I must talk to you about this!” Rosaline had been scolded by Sophia since she was young. And now she felt embarrassed to be scolded in front of her daughter.
Annoyed and embarrassed, she said, “Today, Liana and I were almost successful. So why did your daughter intervene? If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
“How would I know that Lauren was in the bathroom? Liana, you too. How many times have I told you? Why are you so careless in handling things, leaving others with evidence you don’t even know about?!” Sophia was also angry, but it was her fault. Hence, she shifted the blame to Liana.
Liana felt wronged but could only pout in silence.
“Anyway, right now, words alone aren’t enough,” Sophia said. “There is no evidence proving that Liana caused her injury. Liana, if Jeremy asks, you just act crazy and clueless.”
She added, “Jeremy has feelings for you, so we’ll get past this ” Feeling an incoming headache, Sophia massaged her temples. “If that doesn’t work, I have another way to make Jeremy forgive you.”
“Alright, Aunt Sophia.” Thinking of how many people protected Allison, her face contorted in jealousy. “What did Allison do to make everyone from the Taylor family treat her so well? Mrs Taylor is protecting her as if she were her daughter. If this continues, Allison will step on our heads!
As soon as Mandy was mentioned, Sophia’s expression soured. “Mrs. Taylor? She’s nothing but a mistress! I showed her some respect because of Mr. Taylor. Yet she dared to confront me!”
“That’s right! Aunt Sophia, you are the legitimate wife of Javier Walsh and a proper lady.
How can Mandy compare to you?” Liana flattered her aunt as she still needed her help.
Rosaline sneered secretly. How could Sophia criticize Mandy when she used to be a mistress? If she hadn’t deceived Jeremy’s foolish birth mother, she would never have entered the Walsh. family given her barren womb.
“I won’t let Allison become part of the Taylors by marriage. Why bother pleasing Mandy?”
Sophia narrowed her eyes, a cold light flashing. “Winston is the real deal. I heard from Javier that he is at hard person to deal with, and he values the family’s reputation.”
She added, “Jonah is the eldest son he has trained to be his heir. The eldest son is definitely going to marry a daughter from a wealthy, influential family. He wouldn’t stand still if his son married a country bumpkin! There’s still a long time ahead of us. Let that fox be happy for a few days. I’ll make her cry sooner or later!”
Sophia had barely finished her sentence when the door to the ward suddenly opened. A
chill swept in, and Jeremy’s tall and handsome figure filled the door frame.
“Jeremy.” Liana felt a chill in her heart. She began to act pitifully.
