Lily looked at Freya with a grim look.

If that is the case, doesn’t that mean that Carl has long felt dissatisfied with them? Lily thought.

As she recalled the schemes she had planned for her, it felt like a slap in the face–her cheek scorched with humiliation.
Instead, Elsie said sincerely, “You’ve got the wrong idea about us if you think so. We just couldn’t bring ourselves to witness her corpse. We wish to hold on to the best side of her in our memory.”
In a sarcastic tone, Freya said, “But instead of happiness, what I see on your faces is downright jealousy.”
Lily averted her gaze from the stage. She had been so focused on Yunice that she didn’t catch what Freya said.
In a frown, Lily asked, “Freya, please take out the corsages you’ve prepared for us. Yunice is getting married. How could we, as her family, not send her off to get married?”
Freya replied, “Shouldn’t the bride’s family be preparing the corsages?”
“That’s because you purposely kept Yunny’s situation from us, causing us to delay our preparations,” Lily said in controlled anger as she continued, “Freya, you better know when to stop. I’m not holding this against you, and don’t you pick on us anymore!”
Elsie turned to look at Lily, and she knew what she meant.
Yunice looked so glorious. With so many business tycoons around, if the Saunders family could step onto the stage, at least they could get themselves known around here.

She turned her head around, trying to get on stage as she said, “I am the one who gave birth to her; how could she possibly not accept me as her mother? Marriage is no child’s play; none of you have the right to stop me from going up on the stage.”
Lily could feel the annoyance piling up within her. She wasn’t angry at Yunice for still being alive. Instead, just because Yunice was still alive, the guilt accumulated within her turned into

Everyone was grieved about Yunice’s death. It even led to a huge fight at home over the debt they owed her.
Now you are telling me that you are still living in such grace and even acknowledged a wealthy man as your father, who is marrying you off in a grand fashion. Then what does all the care and nurturing the Saunders family gave you over the years amount to? The Saunders family spent so much time and money on you, and now Carl is taking all that away without having done anything? Lily thought.
Elsie should be at Mr. Carl’s banquet hall by now. She is probably getting on stage to wish her blessings. That might explain why she doesn’t pick up the call. Owen thought naively.
