Chapter 4 After a brief silence , Jack's voice turned cold . " Evelynn , let me make this clear - I've never had a mistress . " | " Today is our engagement banquet . You'd better not cause any trouble or test my limits ! " [] " And another thing - my daughter skipped her exam today just to attend this event . She should be arriving after class . Today will be the first time you meet her , so go outside and greet her properly . " [ ] Lucy had already slashed several bloody marks across my face . I was tortured to the point of wishing for death , my body drenched in blood . Evelynn's relatives , meanwhile , were fueling the fire , urging them to strip me of what little clothing I had left . Lucy wiped the sweat off her face and quickly instructed Evelynn , " Go outside and wait for your daughter . " [ ] " She's the future heir of the Torres Group , raised by Jack himself . Until you've had a son , you need to leave a good impression on her . " Evelynn nodded , composed herself , and walked to the lobby entrance . [ ] Meanwhile , I was dragged into a corner . Despite my miserable condition , Evelynn's family still wasn't ready to let me go . Every relative of Evelynn's seemed to be here today , gathered around Lucy , showering her with praise . " Evelynn has always stood out , even as a child . I knew she was destined for greatness . And look - she's marrying into the Torres family ! " " That's right , Lucy . You're officially part of the upper class now . " " Don't forget us later ! If we need help and call , make sure you pick up . " \ [ ] " I heard the Torres Group is insanely wealthy . Evelynn's life is just too good to be true . " Surrounded by such flattery , Lucy laughed with smug satisfaction . [ ] " Of course ! My daughter is beautiful and more than worthy of Jack . " [ ] " When the groom's family arrives , don't embarrass us . These are important people . And no packing up leftovers - they're rich . and so are we now . A meal or two doesn't matter anymore . " [ ] Everyone nodded enthusiastically . Suddenly , someone noticed something sticking out of my nearby backpack . " What's that ? " ] ] Lucy , sharp - eyed and quick , snatched up the bag and pulled out a photograph . [ ] It was a picture taken on my 18th birthday , showing the villa my dad had bought me as a coming of age gift . [ ] Chapter 4 Lucy's expression darkened as she examined it . " This photo … Is that Rivera Sea , the most expensive neighborhood in the city ? " || Someone gasped . " Rivera Sea ? I've heard of it . The houses there are all luxurious villas and cost a fortune . " [] Lucy erupted with anger . She glared at me , shouting loudly enough for everyone to hear , " Unbelievable ! You filthy tramp - how dare you con a villa out of Jack ? " | " Don't even think about keeping it ! " [ ] With that , Lucy ripped the photo into pieces in front of everyone and delivered a hard slap to my face .
