Chapter 281: Chapter 282

282 Your Sister Set You up, Anna Lillian felt as if she had been struck by lightning after hearing her words “Ah, how is this possible?” she muttered, unable to believe what she had just said.

Lillian stumbled and attempted to get up and grab Mia.

“That’s not possible!” she exclaimed.

Jacob, on the other hand, stepped in front of Mia. He said seriously, “Yes, Mia is indeed pregnant with my child. You don’t believe this, but you can’t change the facts!”

Lillian froze, suspecting that the entire world was a lie.

She asked, “Jacob! Are you insane? Your parents would never agree to you marrying her!”

“If | try hard, | will get them to say yes.” Jacob replied to her with determination.

Lilian was taken aback. She realized he had never been so firm, even when she suggested they should get married.

Ithad taken her a lot of effort to persuade Jacob’s parents to accept her and consent to their marriage. She had previously gone to great lengths to accomplish this.

She looked up and surveyed the woman standing behind Jacob at that moment.

Mia was skinny and had small t**s. She did, however, appear to be much younger than Lillian.

Lilian suddenly understood why Jacob was obsessed with her when she saw Mia’s eyes. It turned out that Mia’s eyes looked very similar to Anna’s.

Then Lilian burst out laughing.

Jacob, puzzled, frowned and asked, “Hey, what are you laughing at?”

Lilian laughed like crazy. She asked, pointing to the woman behind him, “Are you truly in love with this b***h? Or, are you pining for someone you no longer have? She’s nothing more than a lame substitute!”

Mia was perplexed by what she was saying, so she frowned and inquired, “Lame substitutes?” What the hell are you talking about?”

Jacob, however, understood Lillian’s words. As a result, his gaze grew somber.

“Lilian, I’m warning you, you should stop talking right now!” he warned.

Lilian smiled strangely as she propped herself on the sink’s marble tabletop.

She said, “Hey, I’ll say whatever | want! If you had the guts to cheat on me, you should not be afraid of being blamed. What exactly are you doing here? You betrayed Anna in the first place, so why are you cheating on me with a woman who resembles her?”

“That’s enough! Stop talking!” Jacob became enraged.

“Who’s Anna?” Mia asked curiously.

Lilian burst out laughing and exclaimed, “Ah! She’s a...”

At that moment, Jacob suddenly slapped Lilian heavily, and that sound echoed in the bathroom.

Lilian stumbled for a moment before collapsing to the floor.

Jacob said grimly, “You have no right to mention her name! You should keep your mouth shut if you don’t want me to divorce you!”

He strode away with that. Mia didn’t want to be alone with Lilian, despite her curiosity about who Anna was. So she, too, quickly left and said, “Hey! Jacob! Please wait for me.”

Lilian was left alone in the bathroom, wretchedly sitting on the floor. Her hands were trembling as she covered half of her red cheek. She couldn’t believe that despite her best efforts, she was still no match for Anna in his eyes.

Inside the banquet hall, Anna was chatting with some businessmen, and Mia’s yell caught her attention.

She looked back and saw Jacob, who was very angry, coming down from the second floor, with Mia following him.

She smirked. She and Jacob locked eyes right on cue, just as she was about to look in another direction.

Jacob stopped walking. He hadn’t seen Anna in six months, but he’d heard much about her. He discovered she had led a much more exciting life after leaving him. He had loved several strong-willed women in his life, but Anna remained his dream girl.

Anna gave him a slight nod before turning to talk to the people next to her.

Mia had caught up with Jacob and grabbed his arm while he was ina trance. She stated, “I’m sorry, Jacob; it’s all my fault. Can you come over to my place tonight?”

Jacob became very uneasy all of a sudden. He drew his arm out and replied impatiently, “I’d like some time alone. Stop following me.”

He then went downstairs alone. Anna felt slightly tipsy after greeting each of her acquaintances in turn. She looked around but couldn’t find Wayne, so she assumed he’d gone to the restroom.

Then she set her glass down and stood in a conspicuous location to wait for him.

Awoman in a pink silk dress approached her as she looked down at her watch.

“Anna, it’s been a long time,” the woman said before she could look up.

Anna raised her head to see Lilian standing in front of her. When Anna noticed the right half of her face flushed, she remembered the rumors she had heard about Jacob and her.

Anna frowned sympathetically and asked, “Yes, we haven’t seen each other in quite some time. Are you all right?”

Lilian’s gaze turned somber, and she asked, “Well, I’m perfectly fine. What do you mean by that?”

“Oh, you’re overthinking it. | didn’t mean anything.” Anna regretted it. She knew that if she expressed sympathy for Lilian, she would be accused of flaunting.

Lilian became enraged and looked at her from head to toe.

This made Anna feel awkward.

“What are you looking at2” she asked, her brow furrowed.

“Oh, | just noticed how much that model resembles you. Did you know Jacob had an affair with a stupid model? She looks quite similar to you.”

She then stopped talking as if waiting for Anna’s response. Anna, on the other hand, remained silent. She simply said, with a cold stare, “Why are you telling me about this, Lilian? You and Jacob are already married; whatever happened between you has nothing to do with me.”

“Are you saying that | caused all the problems in my marriage?”

“Oh, no, | didn’t say that.”

Lilian snickered and said viciously, “Who do you think you are? There were a lot of men wooing you when you were in college.

Ha! Didn’t they all think you were a goddess? Do they know your sister once set you up so that you had lost your virginity to a few men? Do they have any idea about that?”

Anna’s ears began to ring, and her mind went blank.

People gathered around them at that point.

Anna couldn’t feel anything. She could hear Lilian’s angry voice, “Allie deserved to die. She even tried to hurt her sister, didn’t she? She shouldn’t have asked those men to r**e you!”
