Instantly, Gillian understood what was happening. Willa must have realized that Luke was nearby, which was the reason Willa acted out such an incredible play.

Gillian's heart tightened with pain as she stared at the handsome face she had known for years. They had been so close a few days ago. They had happily talked about their future a few days ago but somehow, it felt as if they were nothing but a stranger.

Now it had gotten to the point where Luke would choose to support Gillian's sister rather than Gillian, the woman he loved.

A disparaging chuckle spilled past Gillian's lips. Oh, is she kidding, the two had already gotten engaged. Gillian is no longer the woman Luke loved. Rather, Willa is. Willa had always been.

Willa grabbed Luke's hand and shook her head softly, her eyes pooled with tears and her lips quivered. Her delicate actions repeatedly stir sorrow into everyone's heart. “No Luke. Don't blame younger sister, it's not younger sister's fault. It's just that younger sister loves you too much. Younger sister, I'm sorry, it's elder sister's fault. I was the reason younger sister wasn't able to be with the man she loved. Wuu. Wuuu.” Before Willa could complete her words, she burst into soft tears, her body shaking delicately in Luke's embrace.

Although it might sound like Willa cares about Gillian. In truth, the subtle meaning behind her words is that Gillian pushed her because Gillian believed that Willa was the one who came in between Luke.

Luke felt his heart get stabbed by the pain. He hugged Willa softly before his cold gaze bore at Gillian's body. “Gillian, you disgust me. I can never be interested in such a shameless evil woman like you. The innocent Willa had always been the woman in my heart. Not in your dream will I get entangled with a vicious vixen like you. Not in life.” Luke shot coldly.

Gillian's face paled immediately and her body trembled. Although she thought that seeing Luke protect Willa and ignore her was already a stab in her heart, hearing Luke say such crude words to her was a big stab in her heart. Luke, the man she had loved for years, had just called her disgusting. He had just called her vicious. He had just called her a vixen. Hot tears welled in her eyes and a gripping pain enveloped her. A few days ago she had believed that her life had been successfully made up, but now she realized that she had plunged into the abyss!

Willa's lips curved in a smirk which she quickly hid by lowering her head. She had just begun with this bitch!

“Luke…”

“Don’t you ever let my name fall from your lips. I hate when a vile and disgusting person like you pronounces my name.” He bellowed, causing her heart to rip louder with pain.

Upon seeing what Gillian had just done to Willa, a fuming Roger Arison, and Kathy Arison stepped into the room.

Roger Arison raised his hand and all the dressing staff members dispersed from the room.

Roger Arison walked toward Gillian in a large stride and raised his hand fiercely.

Immediately, a crisp slap fell on Gillan's face.

Gillian's face whipped to the side due to the impact and tears pooled in her eyes, her heart and face dripping with pain.

Willa groaned silently and reached out toward her dad anxiously. Unfortunately, before she could, she collapsed on Luke.

"Dad, no, you misunderstood younger sister. Younger sister was only annoyed at the fact that Luke and I got engaged. You know sister had a fiery temper. She didn't push me on purpose. Don't hurt younger sister." Willa quickly cried out.

Even though it sounded as if Willa was defending Gillian. In actual fact, Willa was subtly telling them that Gillian had attacked her because she was annoyed at the fact that Willa and Luke got engaged.

“Willa, that wench would continue to take a mile after an inch. How many times did she bully you in the past without you saying a word? Stop protecting her anymore!” Kathy seethed. How dare Gillian that whore daughter hurt her daughter? She wished she could dismantle Gillian and tear her into pieces!

Roger Arison's eyes flashed with anger. He had owed the mother and daughter pair too much because of Willa's existence. Yet that bitch simply grew uncultured as days passed! If he didn't put her into her place today, she'd never learn to put others into the eyes!

Roger Arison grabbed Gillian's hair fiercely and gnashed his teeth in anger. "You vile beast, not only did you carry a disgusting torch for your brother-in-law, how dare you harm your sister? Gillian Arison, I tell you that you better follow my plan and not mess up the wedding with that retard, or else I'll see to it that your mother's hospital supply was cut off." He threatened in a cold voice.

Gillian felt as if her heart was submerged in cold water. It felt as if she was suffocated, making her unable to breathe. Somehow her whole body and heart hurt a lot!

So the family had it planned out already when she was still submerged in her illusion. That's why Willa came to parade in front of her and even played such scheming tricks. It was to make Gillian look bad regardless of what the Arison family did to her!

The Arison had long planned to make her a substitute for Willa, switching the truth for lies to make her look bad in front of everyone.

As if that wasn't enough, they even used her comatose mother to threaten her.

The thoughts made Gillian's heart ache extremely.

Roger Arison was pleased with himself upon seeing Gillian's pale face. His face scrunched up in disdain, and he coldly ordered. “Apologize to Willa."

Gillian's eyes glowed with a cold light. It's enough that she had been accused and schemed at but the last thing she'll do is apologize to the green tea bitch! How many grievances had she gone through because of Willa?

“I'm sorry, but Willa's fall had nothing to do with me, why should I apologize?” she rebuked sharply. Although her voice was still weak and soft due to the drug that was yet to wane, her arrogance was clear in her tone.

Luke's eyes spewed with fire, and he shot Gillian a glare. “Gillian, what did you just say?”

Gillian's lips curved with a disparaging smirk. She must have been blind all these while to follow and believe Luke's goading. Someone like Luke was clearly not worthy of her or her emotions!

Gillian raised her neck arrogantly, “I said the last thing I'll do is apologize to Willa. Willa falls on her own, what does it have to do with me? You both clearly cheated on me. It's hilarious how both of you are painting white as black! You two are shameless!”

“Gillian!” Luke's eyes spewed fire. This was the first time he had ever suffered such a humiliation. He had always been placed in a high position, when had he suffered such? He wished he could tear this wench apart!

A triumphant smile appeared on Willa's face, but it disappeared in the next minute; instead, her eyes turned moist, and she grabbed Luke's hand softly. Her figure swayed delicately.

“Luke, don't be annoyed at Gillian. Younger sister loves Luke too much. Ultimately, younger sister would resort to any methods to get Luke's attention. Dad, Mom, younger sister is just being bold, we're family, there's no need for younger sister to apologize to me.” she explained in an innocent frail tone.

Luke, Kathy, and Roger's expressions darkened immediately. Despite that Gillian was arrogant, Willa was still supporting Gillian. However, Gillian was still arrogant regardless. How can they bear to watch it? Today they promise to make Gillian, that vile beast, yield!

“Gillian Arison, do you think it's up to you to tell whether you'll apologize or not?” Roger Arison sneered, making Willa's heart burst with joy.

Gillian's face paled, and her eyes crinkled in disappointment. She understands that Roger Arison planned to resort to force. “Dad…”

Ring.

The sudden ringing of Gillian's phone interrupted Mr. Roger's words.

Gillian stretched her shaky hands to pick up her phone but upon seeing that the call was from the hospital her mom was admitted to, Gillian's thoughts began to spurn chaotically.

However, before Gillian could pick up, Kathy Arison snatched Gillian's phone, received the call, and placed it on the speaker.

"Hello, Miss Gillian. When are you paying the patient's bill? This month's bill hasn't been paid yet, and the patient hasn't received treatment since two days ago. I'm afraid that if it's delayed for another 24 hours, the patient's life will be at risk." The nurse's calm voice sounded.

These were the same schemes the Arison used to prevent her from working in the Arison family; to send her abroad for two years, to... How many lists does Gillian want to count? How much humiliation had she received? "Mrs. Gillian, are you still there?" The nurse's impatient voice asked. Gillian's eyes fell on her disgrace of a father, Luke, Willa, and Kathy.

    A sad smile overtook Gillian's face, her eyes moist, the corner of her mouth drawn down, and her chin trembled as she stared at the pale yet gorgeous beauty in the mirror. Limpid, beautiful big black moist eyes that are clear and bright like a web of shiny stars on a starry night, straight jet black hair that falls to the waist, a cute button nose, soft and pliable seductive plump red lips that seem to call one for a kiss. Overall, the girl in the mirror was a peerless, gorgeous beauty that could topple cities, ruin nations, and pull the heartstrings of any man. Except that the impeccable eyes currently held tears, causing anyone who saw the sight to have a tug in the deepest part of their heart. Gillian clenched her fist tight.

    Immediately, all the guests glared at Gillian with hatred and disdain. Such a vile younger sister; how dare she hurt her elder sister? So what if Gillian is beautiful? She's very heartless! “Gillian, you cruel woman, when will you stop treating Willa like this? She's your older sister.” Luke chided with a bellow and made his way toward the sad and trembling Willa to hug her. Gillian laughed coldly, finding everything hilarious. Willa came forward to say a bunch of things herself; how did it become her fault? “Treat Willa how? She came here to say a bunch of things and began to sob herself. What should I do?” “Do according to Willa's order.” Luke shamelessly retorted. “You know Willa's health has always been frail, yet not only did you push her hard in the dressing room earlier, but now you make her cry…” Luke declared in anger. The crowd hissed upon hearing Luke's words, and their gaze toward Gillian became more hostile. How can this bride be so wicked? Thankfully, Gillian i

    Gillian’s lips parted in shock. She was so shocked that she froze for a few seconds. Apart from being famously known as retarded handicap, Augustus Albrecht was rumored to have had his face injured due to the accident, resulting in him being ugly beyond words. It was even rumored that Augustus had to go around in a mask so he wouldn't disgust people with his face. However, now that Gillian was right in front of Augustus, she really wished for nothing but to give a slap to whoever spread such crazy news. If Augustus is termed ugly, then no man can step forward to claim he is handsome. Although Luke was among the top 10 most handsome men in the country compared to Augustus, Gillian will brazenly reply that Luke is trash compared to Augustus. Gillian clenched her fist and snapped out of it. Perhaps it wasn't as bad as she took it to be. Perhaps this was the best way to break away from Arison's control.

    The driver sleekly drove the car deeper into the city, as if he were driving the car out of the city. Soon, the car sleekly drove into the Imperial Estate, which was famously known as one of the most expensive estates. The cost of the cheapest mansion in the estate starts from 8-round figures. Inside Albrecht's mansion compound were thick green trees adorning the right and left sides of the road. Although the forest looked extremely beautiful from any view, only when one stepped into it would one realize its hoarding of so many dangerous wild animals. As the car drove down, a tranquil and clear river immediately appeared in view, but through the use of a bridge, the river was bypassed easily. A bed of flowers soon appeared in view, and the car bypassed after some minutes. After bypassing different scenes, the car sleekly drove into the mansion’s park before it came to a stop. “Young Miss Gillian, we are here.” The driver announced to Gillian as soon as the car came to

    Gillian watched Augustus' driver and bodyguard help him alight the car. Upon seeing Augustus stand on his own, Gillian's eyes widened slightly. The cruel rumors that circulated in the city conveyed Augustus was an ugly and retarded handicap, but... Ever since Gillian came across Augustus, she realized that all the rumors were nonsense and that they were slandering Augustus. Upon seeing how tall Augustus was, Gillian couldn't help but bite her lower lip and blame the heavens for being unfair to a person like Augustus. He has everything; how could heaven be so cruel to take everything away from him? Gillian took a deep breath to calm her chaotic thoughts and then alighted the car. She gave Augustus an approving smile when she saw him patiently let himself be led to the mansion to get his health checked, and he also smiled in return. After alighting the car, Gillian met a fat maid in her fifties, tapping the floor impatiently, waiting for her. Seeing Gillian, the maid ga

    ‘Younger sister, how can you...’ The video that was being played on the lady's phone before Gillan stepped into the greenhouse was abruptly cut off. Hearing Willa's words that drifted from the phone speaker, the contempt in the greenhouse thickened. Gillian trembled, and her pale face became paler, understanding that the episode of her wedding had gone viral on social media. Even though she was never at fault, nobody will pay a mind to an illegitimate daughter like her after all of Willa's schemes.

    Upon hearing Calista's order for the two maids to come in, Gillian secretly let out a sigh of relief. Emma didn't expect that she'd be called in to be interrogated, right? So Gillian believed that there was no way that the maids would have been secretly settled by Emma. Gillian's lips curved slightly in anticipation. She couldn't wait to see Emma's old, ugly face slapped hard when the two maids came into the greenhouse to tell the truth. In less than 5 minutes, the two maids were ushered into the greenhouse. The two maids respectfully bowed as soon as they stepped into the greenhouse. “Master, Madam, Miss.” The maids bowed and greeted each other respectfully.
