NovelUSAChapter 340: Twenty Years of Deception
Annabelle was stunned, not understanding what Tina meant. Although it was her fault for letting Lily tutor
Zackary and failing to notice Lily's mistreatment of him, she was clearly standing up for Zackary now. Tina
ignored Annabelle and walked over to Lily, staring at her expressionlessly. Lily felt a surge of panic under Tina's
gaze. "Tina! I..." "Bang!"
Before Lily could finish her sentence, Tina kicked her with full force. Lily, being frail and untrained, was sent
flying into the opposite wall and crashed heavily to the ground. She felt as if all her bones had shattered. Blood
spurted from her mouth.
Willow was completely shocked by the scene and took a moment to react. When she did, she screamed, "Ah!
Lily!" She rushed over to help Lily, who was in too much pain to speak, only able to look at Tina in terror.
Annabelle and the Reed family were all taken aback by Tina's sudden action. As Willow held Lily up, Tina swiftly
moved forward, grabbed Lily by the collar, and threw her again. This time, Lily felt as if her internal organs were
about to burst from the pain.

As Tina approached her step by step, Lily felt an overwhelming pressure and struggled to breathe. She managed
to utter a few words, "What... what are you going to do? Killing is illegal!"
Tina continued walking towards her with a cold expression and said in an icy voice, "I won't kill you. I'll make you
wish you were dead." At that moment, Lily felt unprecedented fear and pleaded desperately, "I was wrong. I'll
never do it again. Please spare me!"
Tina stood over her like she was looking at an insect. "I said anyone who touches my family will suffer more than
death." Annabelle's eyes darkened at Tina's words. Tina protected her adoptive family fiercely but held a grudge
against them. "What do you want?" Lily saw the coldness in Tina's eyes and felt as if the world was ending.
Without a word, Tina lifted her up and punched her in the stomach. Blood spurted from Lily's mouth again.
Willow screamed in fear, "Tina! Let go of Lily! I'll fight you!" She charged at Tina but was kicked away. Willow
crashed into the door with a sickening crack of breaking bones.
Tina turned back expressionlessly and punched Lily again, this twith silver needles between her fingers that
pierced into Lily's stomach. A strange liquid flowed out of Lily's body.
Juliet, Griffin, and Audrey stepped back in disgust as they realized Miss Ward had wet herself in public.
After this punch, Lily passed out completely. Tina stood up and handed a card to Griffin. "Withdraw $20,000 for
——
Griffin was shocked when he saw the black card. It was globally limited and owned only by those with assets
starting at a billion dollars. Even the wealthy Reed family only had one black card owned by Jasper.

Griffin quickly went to withdraw the money from a nearby bank where the manager personally assisted him due
to the card's status. He returned with $20,000 in hand. When he got back, Lily was still unconscious on the floor
while Willow groaned in pain from Tina's earlier kick. The rest of the Reed family stood silently watching Tina's
imposing figure. Griffin handed the money to Tina, who thanked him before turning back to Lily. She used silver
needles to wake her up and threw the money at her feet. "This is for your medical expenses." Lily glared at Tina
through gritted teeth. "I won't let you get away with this!" she spat out painfully.
Tina's cold eyes met hers. "Do you think one beating can make up for what my brother suffered? You will pay for

Before Lily could respond, Tina pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Ethan Ward! You have ten minutes to
get to Whispering Pines or face the consequences," she said before hanging up abruptly. Ten minutes later,
Ethan Ward arrived drenched in sweat and greeted Tina respectfully as "Master," shocking everyone present
including Willow and Lily.
Lily snapped out of her shock first and cried out, "Dad! How can you call her Master? She's just a country
bumpkin who hurt me! Get revenge for me!"
"Shut up!" Ethan roared angrily at his daughter before turning back to Tina apologetically without asking for
details or pleading for forgiveness for his daughter.
"I didn't call you here for apologies," Tina said coldly.
Ethan lowered his head further and promised stricter discipline for his daughter in the future.
Tina sat down leisurely on a chair with crossed legs and stared at Ethan for a long moment before speaking
again. "Ethan Ward, after wearing a green hat for over twenty years, haven't you had enough?" Ethan looked
confused but Willow's heart sank with dread as she hoped it wasn't about that secret known by so few people.
"Lily is not your daughter but Jasper's," Tina revealed slowly.
