Chapter 4 - Lily Reveals What She Heard Behind Locked Doors
The moment Lily mentioned Marcus’s missing brother, Julian, the air in the foyer turned ice cold.
Victoria lunged forward like a striking viper, aiming to snatch the brass key right out of Lily’s hand.
Marcus caught Victoria’s wrist mid-air, gripping her arm tight enough to stop her assault instantly.
“Don't you dare touch her again, Victoria!” Marcus roared, shaking off whatever trust he had left in her.
Lily scrambled backward against the marble wall, speaking quickly before Victoria could silence her again.
“I heard her talking on the phone inside the private study last night... she said Julian isn't traveling abroad,” Lily revealed.
“She said his signature was forged on the corporate transfer documents before he vanished,” the maid added.
Victoria’s face drained of all color, her arrogant facade completely dissolving into pure panic.
