Lillian was now also locked up alone in a dim dungeon. In the corner lay a man with half of his limbs crippled, whimpering. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the girl, as if narrating the pain and unwillingness he had suffered before. This man was none other than the Dong family's secret guard who had pushed Jiang Luoning into the water. Although they knew he was not the mastermind behind the incident, his involvement was certainly unforgivable.
The girl tried her best to minimize her presence, curling up and hiding in the corner of the wall on the other side. Her face was covered with a mixture of tears and blood. The wound she had just been cut was still oozing blood, but she seemed to no longer feel the pain. She was trembling all over, hugging her legs, and she didn't dare to look up until the dungeon door was opened again.
As the footsteps got closer, a cold female voice came: "Lillian, who gave you the courage to touch my people?"
The girl still refused to look up after hearing this, but she sneered hoarsely and muttered to herself like a madman.
"I can move whenever I want. There's no one I dare not touch. That bitch who dared to snatch the man I like should pay the price! What can you do to me? I'm a noble from Country A, I'm from the Spyker family, and I'm Viscount Wilding's fiancée!"
Jiang Luoning looked at the crazy woman without any pity. He just felt that she still did not repent until now and deserved this end.
"Lillian, how come I didn't know I had a fiancée?" Wilding's intimidating voice rang out in the empty dungeon.
The girl was shocked at this moment. She looked up at the man and cursed in disbelief, "Impossible, you must be fake! How could Wilding be here in Country A? You are impersonating the royal family and you deserve to die. When I go out and report to the Duke, none of you will have an easy time!"
Seeing that the girl was already in a state of collapse and was vehemently denying everything in front of her, Wilding just thought it was ridiculous, but he remained calm and pretended not to care, and told the girl the fact that made her crazy again.
"Really? But you might be disappointed. Your father, Galen, is about to be expelled from the family and executed for some illegal activities. The person who gave the order is none other than the one you are reporting to, my father, the Duke you mentioned."
Lilian felt as if the sky had fallen. She shook her head and denied it, "No, no! We are a family. He won't do that, no!"
"Why not? You're going to kill his precious daughters. Do you think he'll forgive you?"
Seeing that Lillian was still living in the lies she had woven, Wilding didn't intend to hide it anymore and directly revealed Jiang Luoning's identity. But Lillian's eyes were shining with excitement at this time, as if she had finally caught the man's handle. She laughed crazily and said, "Hahaha, you're exposed. Duke Watson never had a daughter! You liar! Hahahaha!"
Jiang Luoning just watched the two of them quietly from the side. Ding Yi, who was guarding silently in the dark, was tactful enough to bring over a chair and motioned the girl to sit down and watch the show. After all, Lillian's current state was really funny. She was deceiving herself and was afraid to accept the reality of failure.
Wilding glanced at the little girl who was watching the fun, then showed an admiring look to his lackeys. He suddenly became interested in teasing Lillian and pretended to be a little embarrassed. Seeing this, the girl on the ground thought that he was right and laughed out loud with full confidence. In her laughter, one could hear her excitement and ridicule towards the people in front of her.
But before she could finish her laughter, she heard Wilding's words as cold as ice remind her: "Yes, we don't have a daughter in our family, but have you forgotten who my father held the banquet for four years ago?"
"Four years ago? Luo, Luoshen, she is Luoshen? No, that's impossible!"
The laughter stopped abruptly. Lillian seemed to finally understand something and became even more unwilling to believe it. She shook her head frantically, as if she could shake off the memory if she exerted more force. But Wilding would never let him go so easily and continued to state the facts.
"Yes, the person you kidnapped wasn't Luo Shen, but unfortunately, Luo Shen is her sister, and the medical prodigy Nan Xing, whom your father has always wanted to meet, is her brother. Don't you understand your situation now?"
Lilian suddenly felt weak in her limbs, and her memory seemed to be pulled back to the scene four years ago, the banquet that made her lose face; Duke Hussen rarely held public banquets, and four years ago, everyone thought that the Duke was trying to choose a suitable marriage partner for Wilding, and the princesses of various families dressed up to attend in order to win the favor of the Duke or Wilding.
Lillian was certainly no exception. Moreover, she was the only girl in the Watson family's branch who was not bound by an engagement at the time. Many people thought that she would have the opportunity to become Wilding's wife, so she did not know how to restrain herself in public. No one paid attention to her in the past, but unexpectedly, that day; the Duke of Watson showed up with a girl of extraordinary temperament but wearing a mask, and a childish boy followed her. After the introduction, everyone realized that this girl was the protagonist of the banquet. This also shows how much Spyker and others valued these two people.
That day, Wilding mercilessly confronted Lillian, demanding to her face who she was and how she had the nerve to claim to be his fiancée. Duke Watson was furious, and Lillian was punished by her father and locked up in solitary confinement for a month. Even then, she remained unrepentant, even openly and covertly claiming the girl at the party was a mistress who had seduced Wilding. It wasn't until the Duke himself revealed that the girl was Luoshen, the one who had saved his life and was the benefactor of the entire Duke's family.
