บท 163: The Dark Plan

Lily finally understood why her father had been pressuring Alex to announce their relationship in front of the media publicly. It was all for today—to deliver a devastating blow to the Carter family.

"I don't know what I should do right now," Lily said. "I just want to be alone for a while, Dad. Please, don't push me."
