NovelOnlineVictoria was furious and raised her hand to slap Liliana, but in the end, she held back. She said coldly, "Listen
carefully. Nothing happened betweenand Andrew. This situation isn't nearly as filthy or shameful as you're
making it out to be."
She added, "That boy is the son of an old friend | once knew, and we were just catching up, nothing more."
Liliana still did not buy it. "Then where's the proof? Mom, you've never let a strange man into your room all these
years, but Andrew gets special treatment— he even outranks Dad. He cin alone, and who knows what the
two of you did behind closed doors!"
Victoria snapped, her voice icy. "That's enough. | don't owe anyone explanations, not in this house, not in this
world. But since you're here, Liliana, I'll just get straight to the point—I've decided to marry you off to Andrew."
She continued, "From now on, | want you to spend twith him. Show scare and attention. If you can win
his heart, you will be the next head of the Peck family."
Liliana stood there, completely stunned, forgetting to even wipe her tears. "What did you say? You wantto
marry Andrew? Mom, have you lost your mind? What are you trying to do? Have us both serve him together? You
want to hand that bastard to achieve the ultimate fantasy and reach the peak of his life?"
Even Victoria, with her unshakeable composure, could not help but feel mortified and nearly fainted from shame.
She slapped Liliana across the face and cursed, "You idiot, what kind of garbage is floating around in your head?
"I'm only asking you to marry him, not for us to serve him together. Get that straight! Andrew is a junior to me—
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy favorite junior! That's the only reason | want to match you with him. And you should know exactly what kind
of man he is. You marrying him would be more than a good deal for you."
Liliana held her cheek, wanting to argue back, but before she could, Miles stepped in.
"Liliana, enough. Don't cause a scene. | believe Mom and Andrew aren't like that."
Liliana looked confused. "Why? How are you so sure?"
Miles did not answer her. Instead, he turned toward Victoria and asked, "Mom, why such a sudden change of
heart toward Andrew? Do you really want Liliana to marry him?"
Victoria let out a cold laugh. "Whether | want to or not is beside the point. But Miles, you're the sharpest one in
this family. Letask you would you approve?"
Miles fell into thought. "Andrew really is extraordinary. Just looking at what he's accomplished so far, he's already
surpassed most of us who cfrom elite families. Rdo feel a little jealous, but | can't deny he's simply better
than me. If Liliana really could marry him, then as her older brother, I'd honestly be happy for her."
Liliana's face turned pale. She shouted in protest, "Miles, I'm not doing it! What has he done to deserve me?"
Miles frowned. "Oh, please! He
probably doesn't want you either it's
still too early to talk about this, so
don't act like it's a done deal. And to
be blunt, you're not on his level.
That's just the truth."
Liliana looked like she had been slapped again. She opened her mouth in rage,
but no words came.
Miles turned back to Victoria, his face
