Chapter 8: I Won’t Marry
At this moment, Lily’s phone screen lit up, but it was on silent mode.
Three consecutive calls came in, but she didn’t see them.
Wren was the first to react. Seeing Lily drink the wine, her face changed dramatically.
What if there was poison in it? What if she died here?
In a hurry, Wren ordered someone to call an ambulance. Just then, a maid came out of the kitchen.
“I put something in the eldest miss’s drink. She said her complexion looked bad lately, so I added some vitamins.”
The maid looked somewhat similar to Lily, and everyone quickly realized they had made a big mistake.
But the matter didn’t end there,
Suddenly, Lily grabbed Eliza’s wrist and dragged her upstairs.
This behavior was so abnormal. It was like she had gone mad, something they had never seen before.
Eliza initially wanted to struggle, but when she saw Mateo coming after them, her gaze flickered, and she obediently followed behind Lily.
“What are you doing? Lily, stop dragging Eliza around! Let go!”
Mateo rushed forward, pulling Lily away with a harsh grip, his cold eyes scanning her face.
Suddenly, Mateo froze,
What did he see?
Tears?
Lily was crying?
How could she be crying?
A sense of unease rose in his chest, but it was quickly replaced by shock.
The three of them were at a stairwell. Amid the tugging, no one knew exactly what happened, but Lily’s body suddenly tumbled down the stairs!
She was too light, the slightest push sent her falling.
In that instant, Mateo had the chance to catch her.
But Eliza suddenly cried out in pain, distracting him.
By the time he turned back, it was too late.
Lily, with an injured ankle, couldn’t stabilize her self when pushed.
Mateo, choosing to let go of her and profect Eliza, had already sealed her fate,
The process of falling was agonizing Lily hit the metal railing several times, and her head felt like it was going to explode from the pain.
But she gritted he teeth and made no sound

This was what she deserved.
She deserved it.
Falling for Mateo, that was her sin.
Now, she fell, and at last, she was awake.
The people around were shocked, seeing Lily lying on the ground, unable to get up. They scrambled to call an ambulance.
Wren was also shaken. She hurried to Lily, trying to help her up.
Lily gently pushed her away.
She paused for a moment, waiting for the dizziness in her head to pass, then quietly climbed up by herself.
She stood unsteadily in the hall, her head ringing.
Lily had always been afraid of pain, but now she said nothing.
This level of pain was nothing compared to what she’d endured in prison for three years. She was used to it. It was nothing. Just endure it, and it would pass.
Her eyes, now cold and distant, fell on Mateo’s face.
There was no warmth, no affection. Just indifference, like she was looking at a stranger she didn’t know.
Their eyes met, and Mateo frowned.
It was the first time Lily had shown him such indifference.
But it didn’t matter.
Lily was probably angry because he hadn’t caught her in time.
Soon enough, she’d get over it. She had always been good at this–never needing him to comfort her.
Because of the unpleasant scene, the birthday party had to end abruptly.
After the last guest left, Lily sniffled, and the tears fell before the sound could.
“I won’t marry him.”
In the hall, after a brief silence, Derek and Wren finally reacted.
They thought they had heard wrong. “What did you say?”
Lily clenched her fists, then struggled to voice her feelings. “I’m calling off the engagement with Mateo. Whoever wants to marry him, go think he and Eliza are a perfect match. I’ll step aside.”

Derek frowned, “Lily, what nonsense are you talking about? Did your brain get damaged from the fall? You say you won’t marry, so you won’t?”
