Upon hearing Lauren’s retort, Zoe was filled with rage. She clenched her fists so tightly that her meticulously adorned nails dug into the flesh of her palms.

If it weren’t for the people around them, she would have slapped Lauren already.

Zoe took a deep breath. Smirking maliciously, she leaned close to Lauren’s ear, speaking in a low, mocking tone. “You’re right. You’re not an idiot. You’re a psycho.”

A psycho.

She was a psycho.

Lauren’s mind buzzed loudly, and cold sweat soaked through her pure white cotton dress.

At that moment, the piano music on stage began to play.

The melodious notes flowed into her ears. But for her, they were like painful melodies, only intensifying her stress.

“Lauren, you’ve always wanted to be Landon’s wife—to be Mrs. Harper. But do you think you’re qualified? You know your illness best. Do you think you can give birth to a child with normal intelligence for Landon?”

Lauren lowered her head. Tears were welling up at the corners of her eyes, and her cotton dress was crumpled from her delicate fingers, much like her heart at that moment.
