“The Marquez family’s position of power was not meant for you to bully others. If you cannot learn to be
responsible and admit your mistakes, then you are not worthy of being a Marquez,”
The latter half of the sentence, however, caused extrpanic among the three people in the lake.
They could achieve great success without relying on the Marquez family, but being deprived of their surname
was such a great shand humiliation.
Branden, Braxton, and Deven stopped climbing onto the shore and instead obediently floated in the lake,
allowing the water to engulf them, to experience all the pain that Lilyana had endured that day.
The air in the lungs becthinner and thinner, and the water with a fishy smell seeped into the lungs and
stomach through the nostrils. The body sank uncontrollably.
The taste of suffocation, it was really unpleasant.
At the moment of reaching the extrpoint, they suddenly regained control over their bodies and surfaced to
take a deep breath.
However, Lilyana on that day was filled with panic.

She couldn’t swim, was afraid of water, and there was no one to save her. How desperate she must
have been at that time?
Just experiencing it once was already somewhat difficult for the three of them to accept.
After several experiences, the three of them disembarked from the trip, feeling completely
desolate all over their bodies.
“Sorry, Lilyana, it was my mistake.”
Branden apologized dryly, and this was the first the had said these words to Lilyana.
Braxton also felt extremely guilty. “Lilyana, over the years, we were wrong. We mistook our savior and we
mistook our own hearts. It was my fault.”
On Deven’s pale face, those pair of crimson eyes stood out, staring at Lilyana, as he pleaded softly, “Lilyana, I'm
sorry... Is there still a chance forto redeem myself? I’illing to know
everything about you, your preferences, can we start over again?”
Before he could finish speaking, Lilyana remained calm and said lightly, “No.”
“I have said many times before, marriage is arranged by the elders and cannot be avoided. | don’t love you, it's
just because of the binding marriage contract that | have to treat you well.”

“Isn't this the perfect outcnow? | am now standing before you, with only one identity, that is your elder,
your aunt.”
She said as she took Graham's hand, looking down from above.
“What should | call you now? Haven't you remembered yet?”
Graham silently supported her, his deep eyes narrowing slightly as he glared threateningly at
Branden, Braxton, and Deven.
After a long silence, the three of them reluctantly shouted out that name, “Auntie.”
Lilyana smiled with satisfaction, “Well, it's tto start the meal, let's go.”
She and Graham walked forward hand in hand, with an invisible understanding that kept everyone

else at bay.
At the family banquet, Graham noticed Lilyana’s preferences and served her food.
“This is what you like, eat a little more.”
She nodded with a smile and buried herself in eating.
Kiara looked at this scene with satisfaction, unable to stop the smile on her face.
Towards the end of a family banquet, Violet burst in crying.
With a thud, she knelt down firmly on the ground and knocked her head heavily.
“Lennon, Kiara, please cancel my engagement with the three scions.”
“They didn’t like me, and today | almost died in the lake. Although | cfrom a poor family, I still had my
pride.”
“I know, all their previous claims of likingwere fake, their kindness and concern forwere all fake. | can’t
bear this engagement, the person they truly like is Lilyana, so | give up. | beg you to fulfill my wish and let me
leave.”
As she spoke, Violet kept knocking her head repeatedly, blood oozing from her forehead. She was still wearing a
patient’s gown, which was horrifying to see.
