Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

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.”

I’m the one who’s married to you!” Lilian was enraged to see how much Jacob cared for Anna. So, she shouted
