Mysterious Little Wife

The engagement party reached its peak around 7:00 pm. 

Outside, it was pouring heavily. Lacey walked toward the clubhouse barefoot while shabbily dressed. She looked like a ghost.

"You must attend your sister's engagement party tomorrow. You are only free to leave once everyone has taken pictures and witnessed your apology." 

"If you dare disobey me, I'll make sure you're stuck with the Carter family forever." 

"After Lillianna's engagement, you will return to the Carter family and undergo a transformation. It's an honor you'll never get." 

"You are not allowed to leave until tomorrow." 

Lacey was grounded for one night for the sake of the Carter family and Lillianna.

In addition, her hair was dyed black to give the reporter the impression of turning over a new leaf.

Initially, she was okay with it. 

After all, it was only one day. Once her mother's surgery, she would take her away from South City forever.

However, things took a big turn.

She held a piece of paper tightly in her hand.

"Lacey, I had no idea you had gone through so much for me. I've always felt sorry for Lillianna as I didn't show her enough motherly love. But putting you through this makes me even more apprehensive. I raised you alone, and I couldn't stand to see you in any pain. Still, it was because of me that you took the fall for your sister. How could Bailey be so heartless as to use me to threaten you repeatedly? Lacey, I don't want to be treated for my illness anymore. I don't wish for you to be taken advantage of. It is not my desire to have you blamed by others and for me to pull you down. I'm going to go first. I wish you a happy life. Don't be aggravated by your father, and don't be threatened by him."

Her face was quite pale, and she was biting her lips. 

Lacey found a letter under Maria's pillow.
