    “He was under someone else’s hypnotic control? What does that mean?” asked Vicky, stunned.


    Jennifer’s eyes reddened even more as she exined everything to Vicky.


    “I sensed something was off with Anthony a long time ago. We grew up together, and he’s never


    mistreated me before. But, he became like a different person whenever Lily was around; he’d always


    take her side unconditionally.


    “Whenever I fought with Lily, Anthony would always make me apologize to her no matter who was


    wrong or right. His preferential treatment toward her was so obvious. But then I found out…”


    Jennifer balled her hands into fists and gritted her teeth, an expression rarely found on her beautiful


    face.


    “Someone hypnotized Anthony when he was kidnapped, and Lily…was the mastermind all along.”


    Vicky had heard this story from Jennifer before. Both Anthony and Lily were kidnapped when they were


    young. Their bond became stronger after they spent a few days together as hostages. One day, when


    the kidnapper decided to kill them, Lily sacrificed herself in exchange for Anthony’s life.


    Anthony’s parents rescued him while he was unconscious while Lily was nowhere to be found. Since


    then, Lily had always held a special ce in Anthony’s heart, and he never stopped looking for her. The


    gods must have pitied him because he eventually found her one day.


    “What do you mean, Lily was the mastermind behind the kidnapping?” Vicky asked.


    Tears fell from Jennifer’s eyes. Her voice trembled as she exined, “She was the one who nned


    the kidnapping so she could be closer to him. She wanted Anthony to remember her forever, and


    that’s why she pretended to sacrifice herself for him.


    “To ensure that the n was foolproof, Lily got someone to hypnotize Anthony. The hypnotist kept


    nting the idea in Anthony’s mind that he fell in love with Lily because she saved his life. Anthony was


    still young then, so his willpower wasn’t as strong as it is now… The idea naturally took root in his


    head.


    “Anthony’s parents and I never realized anything about this because Lily wasn’t in the picture for such a


    long time. That was…until many yearster. She must’ve thought the time was ripe for her to show up


    in front of Anthony again.”

    Vicky was aware of everything that happened after that.


    Lily needed a kidney transnt, and Jennifer happened to be a match for her. Thus, Anthony came to


    ask Jennifer for the favor, but he ran away in a fit of anger after she refused. The whole thing caused a


    big ruckus, and their parents inevitably had to get involved.


    After that, it was discovered the whole thing was just a huge misunderstanding. The doctor had mixed


    up the reports, so Lily was fine after all.


    Even so, this matter made it very clear whose side Anthony was on from there on.
