Chapter 4

I never expected Lily to be the mistress of my best friend's father, Robert Lee. The secretary even had people take photos of them kissing in a car.

This really made me feel sick. Robert was already 50, with a mouthful of yellow teeth. How could she stomach kissing him?

But this also gave me hope. My best friend, Olivia Lee, might have a chance to get out of the psychiatric hospital.

She wasn't really ill at all. She was locked up because she didn't listen to Robert. After her college entrance exam, she got engaged to the Lu family and ran off abroad, only to be caught and brought back by Robert.

When she tried to escape again, Robert's men caught her, and a bystander filmed it and posted it online, causing a stir about the Lee family abusing their daughter.

Under public pressure, Robert forged a psychiatric diagnosis for her and had her committed to a mental hospital.

Olivia's mother, Victoria, couldn't help her because her family's company was in decline and still relied on Robert's financial support.

I could only approach Victoria. I remembered her mentioning before that she and Robert had signed a prenuptial agreement stating that if either party cheated, they would leave the marriage with nothing.

I invited Victoria out for coffee and told her everything in detail.

Victoria's eyes lit up. She thanked me and left in a hurry, not even touching her coffee.

Now all I had to do was wait for the good news of Olivia's release.

Victoria acted swiftly, and Olivia was out the next day.

Olivia already hated Robert, and upon learning of his affair, she urged her mother to divorce him immediately.

But Victoria said there was no rush; she had her own plans. She had already taken over the Lee family company.

Olivia wanted to come to school with me, so Victoria donated $2 million worth of lab equipment to the school, and Olivia was admitted as an exception to study with me.

To thank Victoria, the school invited her to give a speech.

Everyone thought it was Lily's mother coming and cast envious glances at her.

Our dorm was originally a six-person room that wasn't full, so Olivia naturally moved in.

Just as we finished moving her things in, Lily rudely rushed over to ask about her blood type.

Olivia had heard about Lily from me and didn't bother to engage with someone impersonating her identity.

This infuriated Lily: "Do you know who my parents are? How dare you ignore me! Just looking at you, I can tell you're Type B. Get ready to be ostracized by the whole class."

She was right about this; Olivia was indeed Type B.

We might not know who her parents were, but tomorrow the whole school would know who Olivia's parents were. We'd see who would be ostracized then.

The next day, as soon as she saw Victoria, Lily went over to chat, even bringing her milk tea, acting like a real mother and daughter.

But Victoria's expression was already hiding daggers behind her smile. She recognized this girl as Robert's mistress at a glance.

But this was school, with so many eyes watching. They had to keep up appearances.

During Victoria's speech, Lily couldn't stop talking: "My mom said she's taking me for French cuisine tonight. I bet some people are so jealous."

When she said "some people," she looked at us. Everyone cast envious glances at her, but she wouldn't be smiling for long.

"My daughter is also in the audience today. Finally, I'd like to invite her on stage to take a photo with me as a memento."
