The man raised his fist to strike Lilith's head, and she instinctively protected it, bracing herself for the expected pain."Stop!" Just then, a crisp voice rang out.The man halted his fist and looked around, only to see two young, pretty girls standing at the end of the alley. Compared to Lilith, they were even more beautiful and elegant. They looked almost like movie stars.The three men instantly ogled them, drooling like wolves seeing the juicy piece of meat they'd been longing for."Oh, where did you come from? Did you skip school to be a hero?" The man who had intended to harm Lilith earlier whistled at Jade, leering at her greedily."Yo, I'll take the skinny one. You can have the curvy one, okay?" One of the man's henchmen pointed at Melanie, swallowing hard.Melanie, who felt sick, retorted, "In your dreams. Take a good look at yourself before you speak."Lilith had never expected Jade and Melanie to come to her rescue. She stood stunned there for a moment, then reacted

Inside the hospital room, an elderly person lay in bed. Lilith walked in and placed the flowers at the bedside, calling out gently, "Grandma, I'm here."The old woman, whose name was Peggy Mayberry, opened her eyes, but her gaze was unfocused. She turned toward Lilith's voice and smiled. "Didn't I say you don't need to come every day? Your studies must be your top priority."Jade and Melanie were both shocked by the scene before them. They hadn't expected this old woman to be Lilith's grandmother. Judging by her appearance, she seemed to be quite ill."I can't leave you alone in the hospital. I have plenty of time these days, as the classes aren't too demanding," Lilith talked to her grandmother as she skillfully adjusted the bed to a semi-reclined position. Peggy reached out toward Lilith with trembling hands, and Lilith quickly grasped her hand. Peggy squeezed Lilith's hand tightly, hesitating before speaking."Lilith, I think..." She paused before saying, "I should stop the tr

Lilith's eyes reddened as she got emotional. Since she had harmed Jade, she had been unable to sleep peacefully at night. Now that she had spoken about it, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders, bringing indescribable relief."I'm sorry, but I really had no choice. My grandmother's hospitalization costs a lot of money, and I've been driving myself crazy over it."Jade looked at her with an intense gaze. "Was the hotel incident also your doing?""No, I knew nothing about that, but I do have some insider information," Lilith said, deciding to reveal everything she knew. "It was Neve and Raelyn. They both conspired to frame you, and Lloyd was also a victim. Their goal is the status of Mrs. Zeal.""How surprising that Raelyn is involved as well…" Melanie gritted her teeth.Jade thought for a moment and then understood how it was all connected. "Raelyn tricked me into going to the hotel, and then they pulled a switcheroo with Lloyd. Now, I understand why Lloyd's

Lilith's face went pale. The man's vulgarity was clearly meant to provoke. She didn't mind herself, but her grandmother couldn't bear it."You're talking nonsense. If you don't leave, I'll call security." Lilith shook with anger. How could these people slander her like this in front of her grandmother?"Lilith, Lilith." Peggy reached out, trying to find Lilith. She looked panicked. "Is what they said true?"She knew what kind of illness she had—it was a money-eating one. Lilith was just a student. Where would she get such a large sum of money?Lilith grasped Peggy's hand and shook her head frantically. "No, Grandma, don't listen to their nonsense. The money I earn is clean."As she said this, her heart sank. She thought of the scheme against Jade. That was money she had earned with a guilty conscience."Lilith, even though we're poor, we have integrity. You can't take the wrong path because of my illness, understand?" Peggy urged her.Tears welled up in Lilith's eyes as she nodd

Jade sensed that there was more to his words, so she didn't press him too hard. "Just tell me what's going on."Speedy swallowed hard before speaking into the phone. "I know who killed Lilith's grandmother.""What?" Jade tightened her grip on the phone and tensed up. "Who was it?""Mac Big told me it was a woman named Neve who hired them to do it. She wanted revenge on Lilith for betraying her."Jade furrowed her eyebrows. She hadn't expected Neve, who had been missing for days, to still be around, let alone secretly seek revenge on Lilith and cause her grandmother to fall to her death.She was going to help Lilith settle this score for sure."Where's Mac Big?" Jade asked urgently."He's long gone. Said he was going to hide out with some relatives," Speedy replied. Then, he added, "Now, do you believe me?""Thank you." Jade hastily thanked him and hung up the phone.Lilith was still giving a statement to the police when Jade hurried in. She told the police officer, "Someone pr
