âI hate you! I donât want you anywhere near Mr. Nolan anymore! Youâre driving us apart! I will definitely get rid of you and have you out of Mr. Nolanâs sight forever!â Lilian cast a furious gaze at Ashlyn.
âDonât you think you should stay out of our business when youâre but a maid?â Ashlyn scoffed.
âYouâre such an ugly woman! You donât deserve to be by Mr. Nolanâs side at all! Iâm the only one who has the right to stand by him!â Lilian was on the verge of losing herself. All of a sudden, she reached for a bottle of black, mushy-looking liquid and approached Ashlyn.
âAllow me to take a guess⦠Thatâs something that will disfigure a personâs face, right? Tsk! Tsk! Have you spent a fortune to procure such a thing?â Ashlyn stood casually right where she was. She wasnât afraid at all because she deemed Lilian harmless.
âYouâre right! I will ruin that gorgeous face of yours so you canât seduce Mr. Nolan again!â Lilian announced with a proud and vicious grin.
Ashlyn frowned. Sizing up Lilian indifferently, she asked, âDonât you find yourself hilarious?â
âShut up! Youâre the hilarious one! Why arenât you afraid? You should get down on your knees and beg for mercy! Hurry up, beg me! Perhaps I will change my mind and be merciful!â
Lilian was most irritated by Ashlynâs calm and collected demeanor.
She felt she was but a trivial character in front of Ashlyn, a natural leader superior to others.
The grudge Lilian held against Ashlyn due to the affection she shared for Lucas had taken over her rationality.
She raised her head and cast the bottle of black liquid in Ashlynâs direction. âMr. Nolan is such a flawless man! An ugly woman like you donât deserve him!â
Meanwhile, Ashlyn took a step aside, successfully evading the suspicious bottle. âI have yet to deal with you for pushing me down the stairs last night, and yet you have the audacity to pick on me?â
Once Ashlyn finished her sentence, the bottle of suspicious-looking liquid came crashing to the ground.
As the questionable liquid seeped through the soil, the surrounding weeds withered instantaneously.
Ashlyn frowned and thought about the potential consequences that would be in store for her should the liquid make it to her face instead of the ground.
âMr. Nolan loves you wholeheartedly⦠H-He actually smiles because of you! How dare you allow him to finish your leftover meal? I want you to atone for your sins with death! As long as youâre dead, Iâm sure Mr. Nolan will notice me and marry me.â
Lilian announced her ambitious plan while she reached for another bottle, given the last bottle she cast had been in vain.
Ashlynâs lips twitched involuntarily. She was aware that the woman in front of her had gone berserk and lost her mind. âYou should visit the doctor. Youâre sick.â
Once again, Lilian raised her second glass bottle, stared at Ashlyn eerily, and warned, âYou know what? As long as youâre gone, Iâll get everything I have been longing for!â
She approached Ashlyn as soon as she finished her sentence.
When Lilian was merely a few steps away from Ashlyn, the latter stopped hesitating. She kicked the bottle on Lilianâs hand and got rid of it once and for all. âHave you lost your mind? How could you shift the responsibilities to me? You should blame yourself for not being attractive enough because youâre the reason you failed to attract his attention.â
Ashlyn raised her leg and kicked Lilian immediately, stepping on her chest once the latter collapsed to the ground. Once Ashlyn rendered Lilian immobile, she leaned over and pinched Lilianâs cheeks against her will. âYouâre wasting my time, you filthy piece of trash!â
Lilian burst out laughing as she asserted, âHa! I knew it! You have fallen for my trick!â
âWhat are you talking about?â Ashlynâs heart sank to the bottom of her stomach all of a sudden.
âSince youâre a martial arts practitioner, I canât possibly pick on you because I wonât be a match for you!
The bottle was merely a bait to divert your attention!â Lilian laughed hysterically.
Ashlynâs jaw dropped open. She looked at Lilian and felt a tingling sensation coming from her finger.
âS-Since when did you poison me?â
âI got you when you came kicking at me. My whole body is covered with poison. No matter where you touch me, youâll be poisoned as soon as you come into contact with me!â Lilian turned around and glared at Ashlyn with her eyes widened in joy.
âDamn it!â All along, Ashlyn had her eyes on the bottle. She didnât expect the crazy woman to resort to such an extreme measure to achieve her goal.
