Chapter 19
“The Marquez family’s position of power was not meant for you to bully others. If you cannot learn to be responsible and admit your mistakes, then you are not worthy of being a Marquez.”
The latter half of the sentence, however, caused extreme panic among the three people in the lake.
They could achieve great success without relying on the Marquez family, but being deprived of their surname was such a great shame and humiliation.
Branden, Brayton, and Deven stopped climbing onto the shore and instead obediently floated in the lake, allowing the water to engult them, to experience all the pain that Lilyana had endured that day
The air in the bangs became thinner and thinner, and the water with a fishy smell seeped into the lungs and stomach through the nostrils. The body sank
The taste of suffocation, it was really impleasant.
At the moment of reaching the extreme point, they suddenly regained control over their bodies and surfaced to take a deep breath
However, Lilyana on that day was filled with panic,
She couldn’t swim, was afraid of water, and there was no one to save her. How desperate she must have been at that time?
Just experiencing it once was already somewhat difficult for the three of them to accept
After several experiences, the three of them disembarked from the trip, feeling completely desolate all over their bodies.
“Sorry, Lilyana, it was my mistake”
Branden apologized dryly, and this was the first time he had said these words to Lilyana
Braxton also felt extremely guilty. “Lilyana, over the years, we were wrong. We mistook our savior and we mistook our own hearts. It was my fault.”
On Deven’s pale face, those pair of crimson eyes stood out, staring at Lilyana, as he pleaded softly, “Lilyana, I’m sorry… Is there still a chance for me to reden myself? I’m willing to know everything about you, your preferences, can we start over again?”
Before he could finish speaking, Lilyana remained calm and said lightly, “No.”
“There said many times before, in stage is arranged by the elders and cannot be avoided. I don’t love you, it’s just because of the binding marriage contract that I have to treat you well”
“Isn’t this the perfect outcome now? I am now standing before you, with only one identity, that is your elder, your aunt.”
She said as she took Graham’s hand, looking down from above
“What should call you now? Haven’t you remembered yet?
Graham silently supported her, his deep eyes narrowing slightly as he glared threateningly at Branden, Braxton, and Doven.
After a long silence, the three of them reluctantly shouted out that name,
Lilyana smiled with satisfaction, “Well, it’s time to start the meal, let’s go.”
She and Graham walked forward hand in hand, with an invisible understanding that kept everyone else at bay.
At the family banquet, Graham noticed Lilyana’s preferences and served her food.
“This is what you like, eat a little more
She nodded with a smile and buried herself in eating
Fare looked at this scene with satisfaction, unable to stop the smile on her face.
Towards the end of a family banquet, Violet burst in crying
With a thud, she knelt down firmly on the ground and knocked her head heavily.
“Lennon, Kiara, please cancel my engagement with the three scions.”
“They didn’t like me, and today I almost died in the lake. Although I came from a poor family, I still had my pride.”
“I know, all their previous claims of liking me were take, their kindness and concern for me were all lake, I can’t bear this engagement, the person they trudy like is Lilyana, so I group. I beg you to fulfill my wish and let me leave.”
As she spoke, Violet lagt knocking her head repeatedly, blood oozing from her forehead. She was still wearing a patient’s gown, which was horrifying tis
