Chapter 300

Lilian had waited far too long for this moment. She had done so much, schemed against so many people, even ensnaring herself in her own plots-just to get closer to Cynthia.

This scene was like something out of a dream she had had for years. Lilian looked at the ray of light on Cynthia, suddenly remembering the first time Cynthia had come to her house.

It was just over a broken bowl. Back then, Sarah cursed Lilian out harshly and forbade her from going back to school.

With her head down, Lilian cleaned the room while those nasty words kept piercing her ears. She felt like a weed in the dirt, battered by wind and rain, soaking in a dirty ditch, about to fall apart. Lilian's world was full of dark clouds and stormy rain, as if she had never seen the sun. But then, Cynthia came.

When Sarah was about to hit Lilian, Cynthia grabbed her and ran outside. They ran and ran; Lilian could only see Cynthia's back, radiating with light.

To this day, she remembered how the clouds cleared, the sun shone brightly, and the wind whistled by, carrying the scent of grass. It was the scent of freedom, like a bird breaking free from its cage. She thought of that day often, the most important day of her life. Tears slipped down Lilian's face.

When had she fallen in love with Cynthia? She didn't know. Maybe it was after Cynthia and Filip started dating, making her extremely jealous.

Maybe it was the time Cynthia took a knife for her. Or maybe it was all those times Cynthia stood up for her, teaching lessons to those who bullied her.

Or perhaps it was just that ordinary afternoon when a ray of light burst into her dim, gloomy life.

No one knew her secret. For years, she hid it deeply, painfully.

She dared not let anyone see it or tell Cynthia. Would Cynthia think she was a freak, a monster, and never speak to her again?

But the jealousy ate at her. She envied every person, male or female, who surrounded Cynthia. Cynthia was like the sun, but her light did not belong to her alone. Cynthia shone brightly, attracting people who admired her, coveted her.

Lilian secretly swore to clear away everyone around Cynthia, friend or lover alike, hoping Cynthia's world would be filled with only her.

But Cynthia's light was too dazzling. No matter how hard she tried, there were always others drawn to her brilliance.

Lilian was exhausted, so she decided to destroy that light.

When Cynthia was disgraced, when her prized reputation shattered, people would disappear on their own.

When Cynthia had no one left but her, only then would Cynthia see her fully.

So Lilian began to plot. Naomi, Cynthia's best friend, was the first target.

Lilian tried to sow discord a few times but did not succeed. However, she had heard about Naomi's background, being an illegitimate child of a prominent family in Betrico.

So she secretly plotted a few traps against Naomi, getting her into fights, and making trouble at school, causing her family to

finally grow frustrated and send her abroad.

Of course, there were also rumors that it was because Gunther agreed to recognize Naomi since Colton had no heirs. But no matter what, Naomi left.

Thus, Lilian ruined Cynthia's friendship. Later, while working at a bar, she accidentally met a rebellious girl. That girl was Shirley.

Lilian had seen photos of Cynthia's mother, Selena, when she was younger, and surprisingly, Shirley looked just like her.

Driven by curiosity, Lilian secretly collected some of Selena's hair and compared it with Shirley's DNA.

To her astonishment, Shirley was Selena's biological daughter.

Lilian initially believed Shirley was Selena's illegitimate child. However, she secretly arranged a DNA test between Cynthia and Selena at that time. The test results shocked her that Cynthia and Selena were not biologically related.

That was why, later on, during the summer vacation of her sophomore year, Shirley came back to the Jones family with a DNA test report.

In fact, Lilian was the one who sent the DNA test to Shirley. She tore apart Cynthia's family and her familial bond.

As she wished, Cynthia become homeless in the end.

But unexpectedly, the Yates family took Cynthia in, treating her as their own, with Filip caring for her deeply. So, Lilian set her sights on Filip. Filip was part of Lilian's plan for a long time because they were childhood friends, with a marriage arranged secretly when they were young.

So at that time, it was just the right moment. Lilian easily created a huge rift between Cynthia and Filip.

It wasn't difficult for Lilian to win Filip over. After that summer camp, Filip came back and broke up with Cynthia. Thus, Cynthia lost her love.

From then on, Cynthia's friendships, love, and family bonds were all completely destroyed.

Cynthia truly had nothing, having fallen from grace. Even though Cynthia was ruined, she didn't give up.

She even pressured Filip into having a wedding with her. In no time, Cynthia changed her identity and became Mrs. Yates.

The Yates family cherished Cynthia like their own daughter. She moved into the Yates residence, still living in splendor.

Everything was different from what Lilian had imagined. She wanted Cynthia to be kicked out with nothing, hoping she'd be down and out, unable to recover.

And then at Cynthia's most desperate and lowest point, Lilian appeared in her life like a ray of light.

By then, Cynthia's wings were already clipped. So Lilian could weave a golden cage for her. This way, they could be somewhere else, together forever.

This was Lilian's idea. But Cynthia only stayed down for a little while before climbing back to the highest point, and her hatred towards Lilian grew.

Lilian was extremely disappointed, but she could only re-strategize. She didn't want Cynthia to take revenge, so she encouraged Filip to go abroad.

Lilian still had an ace up her sleeve, one she had been setting up for years. She was ready to come back with that ace.

Lilian was sure she would replace a way to keep Cynthia by her side willingly. And that day was coming soon.

As Cynthia approached Lilian, who was already in tears, Cynthia looked at her strange expression and frowned.

Then the officiant spoke in the dark, "Now, the bride and groom exchange rings."

There was a murmur of surprise from the audience.

"How can they exchange rings without the groom?"

"This host is quite funny."

"Don't you think this wedding from the Yates family is just one big joke?"

The host continued, "Our groom hasn't run away; he's just preoccupied with something else. But we'll carry on with the wedding, and from now on, our bridesmaid will take over the ceremony duties for him. "Now, let's have the bridesmaid put the ring on the bride."
