How the Script Should Proceed

"I haven't dealt with you because in the whole Royce situation, my main issue is with Royce himself.

"Whether you're the third, fourth, or fifth, he's the one who cheated. I don't have time to deal with you."

Lily's fingers tightened slightly, leaving a mark on Nadia's chin.

"You climbed up using your abilities, which is commendable. Now that Royce and I are no longer engaged, our issues are resolved. Next, it's time to settle things between you and me."

Thinking about how soon Nadia would marry Royce and she would marry Edmond, the thought of Royce having to call her "Aunt" and Nadia having to do the same filled Lily with satisfaction.

"Nadia, you'll end up in my hands sooner or later."

She withdrew her hand, lightly patting Nadia's face with a playful tone.

"Let's go. Your apology is the grand finale."

Nadia touched her sore chin but didn't move. Just as Lily was about to leave, Nadia suddenly called out to her.

"Lily, I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it!"

Lily was puzzled by her words when she suddenly heard a sharp, ear-piercing scream followed by a heavy thud.

Instinctively, she turned around to see Nadia tumbling down the stairs.

Lily: "???"

What is this? Is she crazy? Doesn't it hurt? Is she faking it? When she heard hurried footsteps outside the hallway, Lily realized she had fallen into Nadia's trap.

But she didn't push her, so she had nothing to fear.

Just as she was about to open the door, she remembered Aria's words.

"How can you solve it? Unless your past with Royce didn't exist, unless everyone lost their memories."

Memory loss? Yes, a last-ditch effort! Although she couldn't make everyone lose their memory, she, the main character, could "forget."

How the story would unfold after that would depend on how she, as the "amnesiac," played it out.

She was a genius! Lily went to the stairs, looked at Nadia lying at the bottom, measured the height with her eyes, took a deep breath, and then stepped off...

When Lily woke up, it was already noon the next day.

The ward was noisy.

Nadia had woken up half an hour before Lily. Hearing that Lily was still unconscious, she cried profusely and insisted on seeing her, full of guilt.

Royce had to find a wheelchair and bring her over.

When Aria saw them, she was furious.

"Who let you in? Get out!"

Fearing she might disturb the sleeping Lily, she lowered her voice to shoo them away.

Nadia, her forehead wrapped in gauze, looked frail and sickly.

"Aria, I just want to see how Lily is. After all, I bear some responsibility for her condition."

Aria glared at her, wanting to slap her.

She regretted splitting up with Lily the night before.

After coming out of the bathroom, the thought of Alistair surrounded by beautiful women made her not want to return. She went downstairs for some fresh air.

When she decided to head back, she saw Edmond rushing out with Lily in his arms.

Edmond was usually aloof, but at that moment, he was enveloped in a murderous aura, making her too afraid to approach. She ran to grab Alistair, who had followed them out.

Alistair was also anxious and pale, as the incident had happened at his venue.

He didn't say much, and it wasn't until Aria saw Nadia being carried out by security that she realized both Lily and Nadia were unconscious in the hallway.

The details were unclear.

Aria pointed at Nadia, "You must have pushed Lily down the stairs and then jumped yourself."

Nadia protested, "No, I did call Lily out."

"Given the public apology, I was too nervous and thought maybe we could resolve it privately."

"When I saw Lily, I knelt and begged her to let me off the hook."

"She refused and even grabbed my chin, threatening to retaliate against me and Royce."

"She said it was just the beginning, and then she went crazy and accidentally pushed me down the stairs."

She deliberately mentioned Zoya's birthday party, hinting at a previous incident.

"Lily had pushed Zoya and me into the pool without warning last time, so it's not surprising she suddenly pushed me down the stairs this time."

Aria didn't believe a word.

"Nadia, I don't believe a single punctuation mark from you. You better pray Lily is okay, or I won't let you off!"

Aria glared at her fiercely. Nadia, looking weak and helpless, clung to Royce's hand.

"I'm not lying. Everything I said is true. I know I've wronged Lily. Even though she pushed me, I don't blame her. I just want to make sure she's okay."

Nadia had woken up not long ago, so her face was pale. With tears streaming down, she looked even more fragile.

Royce, feeling sorry for her, patted her hand comfortingly, then turned to Aria, his eyes sharp and words tinged with warning.

"Aria, Nadia is here because she's kind. Lily pushing her down the stairs is already a crime."

Royce regretted not going last night.

He had intended to go, but Nadia had said it would be embarrassing, and it was better for her to handle it alone.

She said if they appeared together with Lily, it would put him in a difficult position.
