However, I already starred in lots of TV series, so’Caroline did nothing to hurt me.
I got used to being treated harshly if I played someone evil as my co–stars were method actors and developed skills to withstand the pain. Not to mention, Caroline‘ s stick–like limbs didn’t even hurt me at all. So, I was never in pain to begin with.
However, Anthony was careless. The man pushed Caroline from the stairs when he tried to save me. Soon enough, the woman fell from the stairs as the rain washed her body while she was struggling to move.
Although the second floor wasn’t very high, Caroline was still seriously injured. The woman was quickly taken to the hospital. Immediately, Caroline’s mother became enraged. She followed her daughter to the hospital as she cried like crazy, making her appearance even more unkempt.
“Mr. Morrow, you’d better not kill my

daughter! If anything ever happens to her, I’ll kill you!” she shouted at Anthony.
At the end of the hospital corridor, Anthony kept his head down as he sighed. On the other hand, Matthew stood beside me. The man was trying to comfort me.
“Thank goodness, you weren’t the one who fell,” he said in a slightly excited
tone.
I noticed that Matthew was happy that Anthony suffered. Obviously, the latter didn’t let this slide. Instead, the latter secretly thought of something that could be used to go against the former as he started to clench his fists in fury.
Not long after that, the old Mrs. Morrow came to a hospital.
When the old woman came to the corridor, she saw me. Anthony‘ s grandmother was about to get mad before she seemingly remembered that all the guests left because of me, so she held back. That old

woman just knocked her cane on the ground twice, showing her
disappointment.
“Goodness, Anthony! How can
unfortunate things befall you? Your parents are still in their residence in London, but I’m afraid of telling them about what happened to you now,” the old woman coldly said.
After that, she glanced at me.
The old woman continued to talk, “This woman is a vile one. When you were a child, you were bewitched by her even until now. Now, you also got bewitched by Caroline? What did I tell you? You
should’ve never fallen for these women
from lowly classes!”
When Mrs. Sewell heard it, she stopped crying. Besides, the middle–aged woman heard the cruel remarks said by Mrs. Morrow. She then approached the old woman, straightening her posture before she challenged the matriarch of the

Morrow Family.
“You damn hag! You‘ d better stop talking about me and my daughter like that! You’ll choose today. It’s either your grandson, Anthony going to jail, or he marries my daughter as compensation for injuring her severely!” Mrs. Sewell
shouted angrily, demanding the old woman to choose.
The Morrow Family had more than one grandson, so the matriarch might choose to put Anthony in jail. Yet, the old woman hesitated for a while. Eventually, she made her decision.
“Marry her, Anthony. That’s my order. Besides, you’re the one asking,” the old woman grimly said.
As soon as Mrs. Morrow said that, she quickly left the hospital to go back to Knightsbridge. They would rather accept people from the lower class begrudgingly rather than put Anthony in jail. Not long after that, the doctor came.

It turned out that Caroline was severely injured. The doctor said that she would have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Obviously, Anthony had no other choice but to marry her.
No need to worry, Elizabeth. I’ll find a way to marry you. I just need to be careful so that I won‘ t offend Adrian for now,” Anthony shamelessly told me.
When Anthony walked away, I couldn’t help but look at his back as I rubbed the place where held his hands before my mansion. It felt disgusting. Soon enough, Adrian came over and covered my body. against the wind.
My husband said to me calmly, “Don‘ t force yourself, Elizabeth.”
I couldn’t help but let my dizzy head lean on his sturdy body.
“It’s okay. It’ll be over soon,” I told him.
As I expected, Matthew no longer had time

to flirt with me even though he constantly contacted me for the past few days. I made sure that people knew that I made a
promise to that man to be with me. It seemed that was the last straw that broke Anthony’s back.
Since Anthony was already abandoned by the Morrow Family and forced to marry a paralyzed evil woman, he had nothing to lose at all.
That man was the person who knew the Blatt family the best, including their secrets. He anonymously managed to get secret letters and sent them to the media. My plan worked.
Just in one night, the Blatt Family vanished from the Knightsbridge overnight. Their reputation was destroyed so badly that the news was even heard in Belgravia. So, it was clear that their reputation was gone for good.
