It wasn’t until a full two weeks later that he finally had his secretary bring Lily to the family mansion.Lily didn’t suspect a thing assuming Rulan had come to his ca❤—

thing, assuming Rylan had come to his senses. After all, for so
many years, Rylan had given her everything she wanted. She naturally had no doubts and happily agreed to meet.
“Rylan, you’ve finally cooled off? Is it because Britta’s back? See, what did I tell you? She didn’t dare to divorce you after all.”
“You should have listened to me. I’ve seen plenty of women like
her…”
Before Lily could finish, Rylan grabbed her hair, cutting her off
mid–sentence.
Seeing Rylan’s vicious glare, Lily finally felt afraid.
“Rylan? What’s wrong, Rylan? It’s me, Lily. I’m your Lily. I’m scared, please don’t do this…”
Rylan’s lips were clearly curved upwards, but the coldness in his eyes was enough to make anyone’s blood run cold.
“You’re scared? Lily, you actually know what fear is? You had the
guts to wear that necklace, and now you’re scared?”
Lily was stunned for a moment, about to open her mouth to
explain.
But Rylan didn’t give her the chance. He violently yanked her hair, slamming her head against the coffee table.
“You ain’t foolin‘ anyone anymore. I knew something was off that day, so I had people search the cruise ship. They found a few
Scattered heads under the carnet right outside the room Those
your wrist!”
“I had them sent for testing right away. Turns out those beads
are made from Britta’s parents‘ finger bones. You’ve got one cold heart and some serious skills to pull that off, bribing the
funeral home staff!”
Blood trickled down Lily’s forehead. She was on the verge of losing her mind, desperately trying to explain.
“It’s not like that, Rylan. Rylan, please listen to me. You know I’ve been sickly since I was little. The fortune teller said… The fortune teller said I was cursed with bad luck. He said I needed to do a special ritual to turn my luck around, to ward off evil
spirits…”
Rylan was completely done listening. He kicked her hard.
“Shut up! You’re still making excuses?! You’ve got reasons for all the wrongs you’ve done, but what about Britta?! Britta did nothing wrong, what gives you the right to do this to her!” “I forgot to tell you, I also retrieved the surveillance footage from the cruise ship. Before you seduced me, you quietly
opened the door to the room. You deliberately let Britta see us
together, and the next day you intentionally used this bracelet to provoke her!”
“You didite
“You did it on purpose! You deliberately wanted to drive Britta away, so that I would always be your lapdog! To protect you for life, to protect the child in your belly for life!”
At this point, Rylan’s voice turned ice–cold, his words chilling to the bone.
“Very well, Lily. Since you care so much about the child in your belly, and you’re so eager to pave the way for him, today you can watch carefully how your son dies.”
Several burly men suddenly burst through the doorway.
Lily, disregarding the wound on her forehead, clutched her stomach and retreated with a terrified expression.
Rylan! Have you lost your mind? The child in my belly is your own nephew, a bloodline of the Sterling family!”
Rylan, however, acted as if he’d just heard the funniest joke in
the world.
“Yeah, I have lost my mind! My darling is gone, what’s a nephew compared to that?”
“Drag her to the secret room, cut that bastard out of her belly. Remember to be careful, keep the finger bones. After all, Miss Bennett likes to make prayer beads out of finger bones.”
