Lily Hemsworth's hands trembled uncontrollably as she watched Bella's body stagger and fall to the ground, and she still couldn't react.
Her heart bore a heavy burden of anger, contracting and trembling even more fiercely.
For nothing else.
Just because of the two words "her mom" that Bella had just mentioned, it instantly seemed to ignite a time bomb that had been hidden in her heart!
How could she mention Mary Douglas here?
How could she?!
Someone she had avoided facing all her life, and carefully hid from her mom all her life.
She didn't dare to mention even a single word related to that person, yet Bella, with a simple sentence, almost exposed the secret she had kept for nearly forty years.
What was she planning to do?
Report to the Queen, hoping for her support?
And then?
Without any detours, directly trace back to Mary Douglas and Arabella Vanderbilt?
What was she to do with that lie from back then?
