Chapter 195
Willow did not expect this woman to show up here.
‘D*mn it! Is she here with Maisie?’
A faint hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
Louis subconsciously felt that Ryleigh looked rather familiar. Upon closer inspection, was she not the
woman who had brought the two kids to the Michelin restaurant that day?
“Ryleigh!” Mrs. Boucher was afraid that she would do something foolish and reminded her, “She’s
Aunty Lucas’ niece.”
“What?” Ryleigh was flustered.
‘How is Willow Aunty Larissa’s niece? Could she be the daughter of the de Armas that the Lucases
plan to announce tonight?
“Aunty, Aunty Larissa, are you mistaken? How could she be-“Russell pulled Ryleigh aside and

interrupted her, “Keep quiet, don’t make a fool out of yourself!”
Ryleigh flung his hand away. “Dad, why would you think that I’m fooling around? That woman is the
illegitimate daughter of the Vanderbilts, and her mother is Zee’s stepmother, Leila Scott.”
Ryleigh’s voice was not loud, but everyone who was on the side could hear it clearly.
Willow’s face instantly turned pale due to the raging wrath within her.
Still, Willow was determined not to reveal her true identity. “No, I… Leila Scott is my foster mother…”
“Foster mother? Are you kidding me? Aren’t you afraid that your father will strangle you to death for
saying that?”
Mrs. Boucher reprimanded Ryleigh as soon as she said that. “Ryleigh, don’t be rude!”
Seeing that Mrs. Boucher was rebuking her while helping Willow, Ryleigh glared at Willow aggrievedly.
She also felt extremely suspicious deep down.
‘Willow is the daughter of the de Armas? That’s some serious bullsh*t. No, I have to call Zee and ask
her about this!

Although the whole conversation did not end in embarrassment and awkwardness, Larissa had already
taken Ryleigh’s words to heart.
She turned her head and glanced at Willow.
Seeing that Larissa was staring at her, Willow quickly stepped forward and explained, “Aunty, I didn’t lie
t o you. You have to believe me. I… I ran into a conflict with this lady in the restaurant last time. So
she’s saying that because she doesn’t like me.”
“Willow Vanderbilt, you really do know how to lie. It was you who started it first, and you even splashed
m e with coffee!”
“… I didn’t…” Willow bit her lip and gave off a pitiful and weak attitude.
When the people around them saw that Willow was forced into such a corner, they naturally felt that the
daughter of the Hills was a bit too much.
Russell saw that his daughter was so aggressive and did not show Madam Lucas any courtesy. He
was so piqued that he was about to teach her a lesson, but Louis stepped up.

“I was at the restaurant, and it was indeed as Ms. Hill mentioned.” Louis’ words extinguished Russell’s
anger just when it started to build up.
Willow’s heart skipped a beat.
‘What does Louis mean? Is he trying to help this b*tch!?’
“Both sides were at fault at that time. We can just deal with it after this, so there’s no need to put it out
now and create a stir here.”
Ryleigh originally thought that he was speaking up for her, but she was really upset when she heard the
following sentence. “Are your eyes functioning properly? Why are you,”
“Ryleigh, if you dare to say another word, I’ll skin you alive when we go back!” Russell regretted
bringing her here.
‘When can this daughter do the family some good? I brought her here to allow her to leam more about
social etiquette. And here she is, causing more and more trouble for me.’
Willow gave off a cold smirk inwardly.
‘All the people present are giving face to the Lucas family, so what does this sl*t have to come at me at
my banquet?’
Willow walked up to Louis’ side and apologized cautiously, “I’m sorry, Louis. I’ve caused you and Aunt
Larissa trouble again.”
