That day, I won a beautiful victory,
The entire internet was frantically discussing the cruelty of wealthy families and me, who had endured so much injustice to save Ryan.
The issue quickly escalated to the level of capital oppressing ordinary people, and the stock price of the family company plummeted.
I heard that the board of directors came out in full force, demanding that Ryan break up with me immediately to solve this big problem.
Ryan just smiled and said coldly in front of everyone: “Losing just that little bit of money, what’s the big deal?”
“As for Lily, I’m determined to marry her.”
Ryan didn’t care at all. Now, trying to move against him wasn’t as simple as before.
If he didn’t obey, for the time being, no one could really control him.
Finally, his mother couldn’t sit still anymore. She brought Emma to see me.
After six years, I finally met this woman again
She had aged a lot, reportedly because the board of directors had pressured her so much that she hadn’t slept for days and was exhausted.
Like the lady of the house, I smiled and invited her in to sit, but blocked Emma at the door.
Emma could no longer maintain her gentle facade and shouted at me: “Lily, I knew you had bad intentions! You deliberately stole Ryan from me!”
“If you were really so noble, why didn’t you just die when Ryan was entangling with you!”
“A dirty woman like you wants to marry into a wealthy family? Keep dreaming…”

“A dirty woman like you wants to marry into a wealthy family? Keep dreaming…”
Ryan’s mother was getting a headache from her noise and waved her hand, quickly having someone close the door.
I looked at her, smiling lightly, picked up a peeled orange from the table, and asked her: “Would you like some? Ryan peeled it for me.”
She laughed angrily, glaring at me and saying: “Lily, I underestimated you before. I didn’t expect you to be so patient. After all these years, you’ve come back to seek revenge on me?”
She paused, composed herself, and half–threatened, half–persuaded me: “Actually, the events of these past few days are nothing for a big family like ours. When the storm passes, the family will still be a prominent one. But what about you?”
“You’re not suitable for Ryan. Why don’t I give you a sum of money and send you and your
son abroad? You can live a steady life taking care of him…”
If these words had been said six years ago, she might have been able to fool me.
But now, I was certain that the moment I left Ryan, I would be skinned alive, my bones ground to powder and thrown into the sea.
The family would absolutely not allow an accident like me to happen a second time.

I smiled and said softly to her: “Auntie, your methods aren’t as powerful as before.”

O
guess you’ve gotten old, your grip on power isn’t as tight as before, and you don’t speak with as much confidence anymore.”
“It doesn’t feel good, does it?”

She was taken aback by my words, probably not expecting that the girl who once knelt at her feet begging for help would now be sitting in her home, turning the tables on her, while she felt somewhat powerless.
She breathed heavily, the muscles on her face trembling slightly as she gritted her teeth and threatened me: “Lily, you think I can’t touch you because Ryan is here? He doesn’t have the final say in this family!”
“I could destroy you once, I can do it again. As long as I’m alive, you’ll never marry into this family.”
I finished eating a whole orange, then said calmly and slowly: “It’s alright, Auntie. I can
wait.”
She glared at me fiercely, asking what I was waiting for.
I smiled at her, smiling even deeper, and said provocatively: “I’m waiting for the day you agree to let me marry Ryan. For that day, I can keep waiting, waiting until you close your eyes and die, until you can no longer make decisions.”
She couldn’t believe I dared to say such a vicious curse to her. Covering her forehead,
she cursed me, trembling all over: “Lily, you think you can marry into the family if you anger me to death? Our family won’t accept someone like you who defies elders and is unfilial…”
As she spoke, she collapsed on the sofa. I raised an eyebrow and called for someone to send her to the hospital.
She didn’t know at all that marrying Ryan wasn’t important to me.
What I wanted was very simple. I just wanted everyone to be unhappy, that’s all.
Later I heard that Ryan’s mother had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Although her life
was saved, she was paralyzed and would never be able to stand up again in this lifetime.
The doctor said that with long–term rehabilitation, she might improve.
He looked at Ryan, waiting for Ryan to make a decision.

Ryan lit a cigarette, standing at the head of the bed, looking down at the woman on the
bed.
After finishing that cigarette, he calmly said: “Why should I spend money to save a worthless waste?”
Ryan had always been a very vindictive person.
Many years ago, that woman gave him this sentence.
Today, he finally returned it to her.
