Lu Mansion.

Since Li Yue's arrival, Lizzy's thoughts had been full of revenge. She had imagined the things that she would do to Li Yue once she finally captured her. First, she would ruin that woman's face. Then she would ask her people to ruin that woman's body. Then she would slowly cut off her limbs and watch as she bleeds out.

Just the thought of all this was making Lizzy giddy.

For the umpteenth time, she looked at the time on her phone. It had been two hours, six minutes and two seconds since Bai Lan had told her that she would create an opportunity for Lizzy's people to kidnap Li Yue. Until now, Lizzy still hadn't received any news from her. What could have happened? Did Bai Lan fail?

However, she clearly remembered Bai Lan boasting and telling her that her relationship with Mo Li had improved to the point that they ate the same meal everyday. Of course, she knew that Bai Lan was only making her jealous. She didn't really see that stupid woman as a competition.

How could that Bai Lan compete with her intelligence?

"Miss… I think Miss Bai failed. I received news of her being escorted out of the building a few minutes—"

*PAK*

"Miss… please don't hurt me. This has nothing to do with me." The servant started begging again. The bruise on her arm hadn't healed yet and Lizzy was already hurting her again. "Miss… please have mercy. Please calm down. Please calm down."

"You useless piece of trash!" Lizzy's saliva showered the servant as she beat the woman again and again. She was so angry she couldn't stop herself from hurting someone. "Bleed! You trash! Bleed!" She screamed until someone finally arrived to pull Lizzy away from the poor servant.

"Hmph! Useless! You—" She pointed at the Lu Family butler. "Tell me about Li Yue's schedule." Because of her constant fits, everyone in this mansion already knows who Li Yue was.

"She is set to attend the wedding of Miss Li—"

"Hah! So she's here for the wedding?" The previous anger that she showed earlier disappeared as excitement immediately shone in her eyes.

"Yes, miss."

"Then… what are you waiting for!? Let's destroy that wedding!" She beamed. "Wait…. Tell me… is that all? Is that the only thing that you got about her?"

"Ah… it seems that there will be a masquerade ball in the mayor's estate next week. The Lu Family already received an invite and so did the Li Family. We heard that the Mayor also invited a famous painter and Miss Li Yue."

"Eh?" Her lips tugged upward into a smirk. "So… Mo Li asked his uncle and aunt to help Li Yue build connections with this painter?"

"That is possible."

"Of course that's possible!" Lizzy suddenly screamed! "Prepare the best gown! And don't show yourselves in front of me unless you found out the name of this painter the mayor invited! I need to know everything about this person before Li Yue does!" After hearing this news, Lizzy's mood obviously improved.

She started humming before she thought about that stupid Bai Lan again. Once again, raw anger shot through her and just like that Lizzy started breaking her things again.

...

Sadly, Bai Lan couldn't concern herself in any of this right now. She was already confined to her house. Mo Li might be cruel but he didn't actually send her to a mental hospital. At first, she thought it was because he really loved her and only did all those things because he needed to get some benefits from Li Yue.

Of course, she immediately found out that this thinking was wrong. Right now, Li Yue was sitting a few meters away from her. With Bai Lan's arms being bound to her bed, she couldn't approach Li Yue and slap her. She gritted her teeth as she glanced at Li Yue's smiling face.

"Miss Bai… you are a very stupid person. Too stupid that instead of getting angry… I actually feel pity instead." Li Yue dramatically shook her head. After her meal, Li Yue immediately asked Mo Li to talk to Bai Lan about something important.

"Who let you in? Does Mo Li know that you are here? I am warning you Li Yue! If you hurt me… If you hurt me… I will haunt your soul forever!"

"Miss Bai is wrong. Please don't misunderstand." Li Yue gave a gentle smile. "I would never hurt such a vulnerable woman."

"You— Then… Why the hell are you here?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/innocence_48943349029199563 for visiting.

"I was only here … because I want to know whether someone provoked you into thinking that you and Mo Li are in a relationship." Li Yue said. "I refuse to believe that Miss Bai came up with such crazy thoughts all by herself. The Miss Bai that I knew all those years ago was kind and pure. This is just… I just find it hard to believe all the things that I saw earlier."

"What… what do you mean?"

"I just… I just wanted to know… who asked you to come to the office and attempt to provoke me knowing Mo Li would definitely help me out?" Li Yue's eyes reddened, her lips tugged downwards into a sad smile. "I believe… I believe that someone else wanted Mo Li to hate his sister. I believe that someone is using Miss Bai to create trouble to try to separate Mo Li and I. However, I think Miss Bai failed to notice that this person actually wanted Mo Li to get angry at his only sister."

Seeing Bai Lan in daze, Li Yue continued. "I believe that… someone wanted Mo Li to hate Miss Bai more and more. This someone might be a third party who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and get Mo Li for herself." She eyed Bai Lan and gave a gentle smile. "What do you think Miss Bai?"

It was as if lightning had struck Bai Lan in the head. She stared at Li Yue as she thought about her words. Someone wanted Mo Li to hate her? Someone was using her? Someone wanted to take advantage…

*CLICK*

The loud click in her head made her eyes wide. "Li Yue… do you really think that someone is trying to sabotage my relationship with my elder brother?"

"Of course! I mean… Why would Miss Bai attract Mo Li's anger? I know that Miss Bai treasured Mo Li the most. So… these actions did not make sense at all." Li Yue said, innocence flashing in her eyes.
