Chapter 133
Brielle had mentioned it before, but Miranda had been so trusting of Lillian that she thought Brielle was
just spinning tales. Now, confronted with the undeniable evidence of the video, she couldn’t help but
wonder if her daughter had been deeply wronged.
Miranda suddenly felt some regret, while at the same time, she med Brielle in her heart. Why
couldn’t she just talk it out? Why did it have toe to this?
Lillian, seeing the frustration in Miranda’s eyes, knew she had to deliver a performance of a lifetime
tonight, or she would never again be weed into the Haywood household with open
arms.
The remorse was painted all over her face. “Miranda, remember that night when Bri said she was out
looking for guys? That was the night Spencer got drunk. But that’s no excuse. I betrayed Bri.”
Miranda exhaled, her instinct to trust Lillian proving strong. So their affair had started that night. Bri had
confessed to seeking malepany, which must have stung Spencer’s pride. leading him to drink
more than usual.
Miranda’s feelings at this moment were veryplex. On one hand, she med Brielle, and on the
other hand, she med Lillian. Then, reconsidering, she thought that if Spencer couldn’t resist straying,
at least it was with Lillian, who was practically family.
“Lillian, even though you’ve been with Spencer, it’s Bri who’s going to marry him in the end.”
Lillian’s hand clenched at her side, a sh of red crossing her eyes.
She felt a burning desire to tear it all down, but she had to apologize and feign sincerity. “I know, Bri is
amazing. She deserves the best.”
Her apologetic demeanor appeased Miranda, who had a soft spot for Lillian. “Alright, stop kneeling. Get
up. I was originally thinking of having you as the daughter–inw of our Haywood family, but now, this
mess between you and Spencer happened. I guess Brielle is not feeling good either. When shees
back, I’ll try to plead for you in front of her.”
Lillian choked back sobs as she rose, wiping away tears. “Miranda, I’ll apologize to Bri personally. As
for Spencer, I won’t contact him again.”
She had gauged Miranda’s sentiments, so she deliberately made that statement to test the waters.
Sure enough, Miranda’s response was just what she wanted to hear.
“Spencer is young. Young folks like to have their fun. It’s better for him to be with you than some other
girl, but remember, Bri gets to be his wife. Can you ept that and notpete with Bri?”
It was astonishing that there could been such a mother who actively sought mistresses for her own
daughter’s man.

understand my ce.”
Miranda nodded, content, but noticed her husband was silent. She nudged him. “What do your
think?”
Robert had that look of restrained patience, the rationality of a man. “Don’t you think this is terribly
unfair to Bri?”Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Miranda hadn’t expected her husband to react this way and blushed in embarrassment. “I know it’s not
fair to Bri, but Lillian has been with us for years. What should we do?”
Robert scrutinized Lillian. If Lillian had been his daughter, it would have been so much better. Her
temperament was much better than Brielle’s and she was more suitable for marriage with Spencer.
“Lillian, we’ll give you a sum of money. Leave Beaconsfield and stop contacting Spencer.” His tone left
no room for argument.
Lillian paled, never expecting this. She looked to Miranda for help and saw her difort. “Robert, I-”
Her words were choked off. She couldn’t continue.
Robert waved her off, unwilling to discuss further.
Lillian panicked, dropping to her knees, her forehead hitting the floor hard and repeatedly. *Robert,
Miranda, I’m truly sorry. Please don’t do this to me.”
Miranda felt pity and moved to help her, but Robert’s decision held her back. She remained seated,
tormented.
Lillian was a mess of tears and snot, wishing she could bash her regret into the floor. If the Haywoods
turned their backs on her, what would she do?
Had Cameron seen the video? Would he find her disgusting?
