Chapter 395

Chapter 395:

The thought of it filled me with a seething jealousy. I tightened my grip on the necklace, my frustration nearly making me want to tear it apart. I wasn’t ready to accept this reality. My envy was consuming me.

Just then, a slender figure emerged from the darkness. Molly approached, a smug smile playing on her lips. “Lily, what’s got you so worked up? You look like you’ve swallowed a bee.”

I took a deep breath, tucked the necklace back into my shirt, and replied with forced calmness, “I’m ready to do what you wanted me to do last time.”

Molly raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Lily, I remember you were quite hesitant last time. What made you change your mind all of a sudden?”

I bit my lower lip, struggling to keep my voice steady. “You need to promise me that after I complete the task, you’ll give me a chance to get close to Prince Dominic.”

My hands clenched into fists, my eyes flashing with resentment. It should be me by Dominic’s side, not Makenna!

Molly’s gaze turned knowing, her smile widening. “Oh, Lily, don’t fret. We’re best friends, after all. Your worries are mine too. I’ll definitely help you.”

Her straightforward reassurance and bright eyes seemed to pierce through my deepest desires. It was comforting to know Molly truly understood me.

Gently patting my shoulder, Molly said with a serious tone, “Lily, as long as our plan goes off without a hitch and Makenna loses the Lycan child, she won’t have that protection anymore. I’ll make sure she’s driven out of the palace. Then, I’ll introduce you to Prince Dominic and help you win his favor.”

I nodded, though doubt still lingered in my mind. Could Molly really drive Makenna out on her own?

Seeing my skepticism, Molly leaned in close, her voice a whisper. “You know what? I have a secret weapon.”

Confused, I stared at her as she whispered the details in my ear. When she finished, I looked up in disbelief, instinctively glancing at her belly.

Seeing my reaction, Molly’s lips curved into a mysterious smile. I felt a sudden reassurance and nodded firmly at her.

Makenna’s POV:

As the moon concealed itself behind dark clouds, shadows consumed the surroundings. Hiding in a dim corner, I witnessed a clandestine meeting between Molly and Lily, my heart fracturing with each passing second.

Lily had indeed betrayed me! The trust I had once placed in her shattered into pieces as I discovered their plot to induce my miscarriage. The weight of the betrayal was suffocating, making each breath feel like an ordeal. The sting of my friend’s deceit left me paralyzed, the chill of her betrayal rendering me almost immobile.

I wanted to confront Lily, to unleash my fury, but reason held me back. Alone and outnumbered, I stood no chance against their combined forces. I clenched my teeth, enduring the painful revelation until their secretive discussion ended and they quietly departed. Only then could I force myself to straighten up and stumble out of my hiding place, my mind spinning in a daze.

Why would Lily do this? I had to confront her! I had to know!

As I made my way back to my villa, my path seemed to blur, my mind consumed by the night’s revelations. Suddenly, I nearly collided with someone. Startled, I stumbled back, but a firm hand caught me.

Looking up, I met Clayton’s concerned eyes, his expression gentle and full of worry. “Makenna, are you alright?”

His soft voice seemed to pierce through the fog of my thoughts. I quickly nodded, pulling my arm from his grasp and putting some distance between us.
