Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 283

Lillian’s voice was so loud that it drew the attention of half of the people in the hall.

Anna stood in the middle of the crowd, aware that some of those around her were sympathetic while others were contemptuous.

Lilian’s voice was like a megaphone, amplifying the pain Anna suffered in the past.

“Allie certainly deserved to die in agony! She didn’t even apologize to you before she died, did she? I admire you for that, Anna. | wouldn’t have gone to her funeral if| were you. Anna, you were a wonderful sister.”

Anna clenched her fists and struggled to keep her cool. “Lilian, I’m not sure what you’re talking about,” she said.

Lilian scowled at her as she folded her arms as if she had expected her to never admit to this. She said viciously, “How can you not remember that? This happened just six years ago! It was your eighteenth birthday, and your father surprised you with a big house. Allie was envious of you, so she let a group of men get into your room. Later, you went to America. You tried to hide that from everyone, right?”

Anna’s face became paler and paler as she spoke in greater detail

Jacob quickly stepped out of the crowd and in front of Anna at that moment.

He snarled, “What are you doing, Lilian? Have you gone insane? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?!”

“I’m just telling the truth! Everyone thinks Anna is a bad daughter because she refuses to take responsibility for her father’s group. Well, | want everyone to know how badly her family has messed up her life. People will stop blaming her this way, so I’m doing it for her sake.”

Lilian stated in her defense. Jacob’s face was solemn after hearing her words, and he cursed, “Lunatic!”

He turned to face Anna and said, “Sorry about that, Anna. You should leave now, and I’ll take care of everything for you.”

“Don’t forget, Jacob, you broke up with Anna a long time ago! I’m the one who’s married to you!” Lilian was enraged to see how much Jacob cared for Anna. So, she shouted as if she didn’t care how many people were staring at her.

Jacob had long been irritated by Lilian. He became even angrier when he saw her humiliating him in front of many people and shouted, “Not anymore!”

“What do you mean? You’re going to divorce me for her?”

“That’s enough!” Lilian was interrupted by Anna. She calmed down as she observed this couple arguing.

After some thought, she took a deep breath, looked around, and said indifferently, “Lilian, we did once have a beef. But that’s no reason to spread rumors about me! Plus, you can’t make fun of Alllie because she’s dead, When you intervened in Jacob’s relationship with me six years ago, you spread rumors at school that I was the one who cheated on him. Do you still want to humiliate me in this manner? They were young back then, so everyone believed your craps easily. But, everyone here is all decent people, so no one will ever believe you!”

In fact, the people around her joined in because they knew what Lilian

said was outrageous. So, they all realized she was lying after some thought.

The guests gathered around Anna began to speak as soon as she finished speaking.

Lilian was enraged and exclaimed, “What? | swear to God that I’m not lying! I’d heard Allie say she put aphrodisiac in your drink and had you taken to a hotel room. Plus, there were four or five guys in that room waiting for you!”

Everyone was stunned, including Jacob, who was wide-eyed. He only knew Anna had been in an accident that night, but he had no idea what had happened. So, he never expected that Lilian knew it.

The guests all began to talk about this thing.

Anna laughed and said, “Lilian, do you really know that much? Why are you so certain you knew everything? You used to be my best friend, so Why did you allow her to harm me? You should have informed me of this long ago, but you didn’t. Why are you telling me now? It’s been six years!”

Lilian’s face flushed in defense, and she said, “Ah! | couldn’t because Allie wouldn’t let me!”

Anna stated icily, “Of course, you can blame Allie because she’s no longer alive. Lillian, don’t overestimate yourself’

“What are you talking about?” Lilian became enraged. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“That night, nothing happened. | was only drinking because | happened to see you having s*x with Jacob. Nobody took me anywhere after that!”

“That’s impossible!” “Anything is possible.” Scott emerged from the crowd, drawing everyone’s attention.

Anna turned around and saw the crowd making way for Scott. Then, she noticed that Randal was walking behind him. Scott stood at Anna’s side. He was much taller than her, making her feel safe.

His face was expressionless, and he said glumly, “Because Anna had left the bar with me that night. | know you’re an ignorant woman, so I’m not going to argue with you about the rumors you just said. If

you say it again, I’ll make you bear the consequences.”

Lillian obviously didn’t believe him and asked, “Huh? You did?”

Randal interrupted her before she could finish, saying, “Well, | threw this party because we hadn’t all gotten together in a long time. We wanted everyone to meet new people and catch up with old friends. But, now is not the right time for you to talk about what’s going on with your marriage”

Randal was the president of AW Group, and everyone looked up to him.

Jacob immediately realized what he meant and responded, “I’m sorry, and | should not have allowed this to happen. We had a fight before leaving the house, which is why she said all of this nonsense. I’m really sorry, everybody. I’ll make sure she realizes she’s made a mistake.”

Lillian was about to say something else when Jacob interrupted her and said, “If you say one more word, I’l divorce you tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Lillian had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Meanwhile, a woman in a yellow dress stood outside the crowd at the time and witnessed everything. She looked around but couldn’t find the person she wanted to see, so she went to the second floor.

Randal became irritated as he looked around at the crowd. He said, “Okay, people, stop watching. This is a personal matter between Jacob and his wife.”’

Everyone gradually left. Scott touched Anna’s hand and noticed it was icy. So, he inquired, “Anna, are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Anna said with a sigh of relief.

Randal looked at them as they held hands and said, “Well, go get some rest.”

Scott echoed, “Yeah, there’s a lounge upstairs. Let me walk you there.

Anna immediately withdrew her hand and said, “No, thank you. | can go there by myself. If you see Wayne, please tell him I’m there.”

Scott frowned, then said, “Hey, why is he being a wimp now? Where is. he?”

Randal looked upstairs and said, “Oh, he’s probably in the bathroom. Maybe he didn’t know what was going on here.”

Scott seemed unconcerned, then rolled his eyes and said, “Why was he taking so long to use the restroom? Is there a problem with his, ‘thing’?”
