Chapter 2
In my past life, she’d been the one who screamed about my shamelessness before ordering bodyguards to throw my completely naked body out of the Hayes estate.
Feeling my entire body tremble, I shook my head desperately.
“I’m fine, really… Please leave! Don’t go over there!”
Victoria’s brow furrowed instantly, her mask of kindness slipping away.
She snapped sharply: “Emily! What exactly do you mean by this! Unless you’ve got a guilty conscience!”
“Bodyguards! Get her out of here!”

Two burly bodyguards stepped forward to drag me away.
I cried even more miserably, but still blocked the corridor entrance without moving.
“No! You can’t go through! Shakti, quickly help me persuade Victoria!”
Shakti, who was just about to run away, got called out by me: Everyone turned to look at her.
Shakti glared at me, both angry and scared, but could only echo my words: “Y–yes, Emily must have her reasons! Let’s listen to her first and let her calm down!”
Everyone knew Shakti and I were best friends. Her speaking up made Victoria even more furious.

“You two wretched girls! This is the Hayes family! Not some place for playing house!”
“If you don’t get out of the way-
Before she finished, I knelt straight down in front of her with a thud.
“Victoria, I beg you, please, stop asking, and don’t come any closer.”
Behind me, a group of socialites whispered among themselves, and some were already aiming their phones at me.
“Is Emily crazy?”
“Who on earth beat her up like this? Could it be Victoria herself…”
I knelt on the ground, my head nearly touching the floor, my hair tangled on top, and a few strands
my body trombled.

Victoria’s face turned pale then flushed, her hand shaking as she pointed at my nose and shouted:
“You, Emily, playing games with me, huh!”
“Call Benjamin and William Reynolds! Let him see what his daughter is like!”
Seeing Shakti’s panicked look, I almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.
She was ordered by Victoria not to leave, nor to use her phone.
Today Benjamin hosted top figures from all walks of life. As the commotion grew, crowds gathered in the corridor to watch.

My father jogged over, grabbed my arm, and pulled me up from Victoria.
He stared at my swollen face, torn between anger and heartache.
“Girl, what happened today! Why block Victoria?”
The high–ranking elders with Benjamin murmured among themselves.
I’d always had a sterling reputation in the exclusive society, with many friendships across generations.

Benjamin’s sharp gaze swept over my face. He said coldly:
“Move.”
I trembled and wanted to speak again.
The next second, Dad covered my mouth and yanked me aside.
I fell, scraping my forehead and arm.
The onlookers snickered at my sorry state.
Dad helped me up and gently wiped the blood from
my face.
“Emily, tell Dad the truth. What exactly do you want?”
I wiped the lipstick off my face and gave Dad a faint smile.
