I was stunned. I asked Ethan, “Dad told you I
hired actors?”
“Yes.” Ethan clicked his tongue, pulling me
up, his touch warm but my heart freezing.
Dad, for Tiffany, went this far?
“Don’t listen to him! I didn’t hire actors!”
I grabbed Ethan’s hand, tears falling.
“Please, take security there!”
“There’s a robber, Lily’s still home! Look at
my injuries!”
“Ethan…Ethan, please!”
Ignoring my leg pain, I pulled Ethan.
But Tiffany spoke.
“Sarah, did you hire a special effects makeup
artist? These wounds look real…‘
I lost it, slapping Tiffany!
“”
She stared, then sobbed, “Sarah, you…”
Ethan, already doubtful, pushed me away.
“Sarah! How can you act this way? How will
you ever marry me?”
He comforted Tiffany, looking at me with
disappointment.
“A Landen wife can’t be like you.”
Apologize to Tiffany now!”
I’d always loved Ethan, our families expected

marriage.
But since Tiffany arrived, Dad cared for them,
and Ethan cared more for Tiffany.
In my last life, Dad gave the company to
Tiffany; Ethan proposed to her the next day.
Because I’d been assaulted, the Landens
didn’t want a tainted wife.
Thinking of Lily…
I slapped Ethan!
“Fine, Ethan, I’ll never marry you, even if I
die!”
I ran into the security office, grabbing a
weapon.
“You won’t save Lily, I’ll go alone!”
Even if I died, I’d save Lily.
As I stepped out, Ethan ordered, “Stop her!”
