She swallowed her discomfort and spoke up, "I was deceived by her before and didn't know her true nature. Now that I know how she's only after wealth and status, I certainly dislike her.

Lu Lingche glanced at her nonchalantly, "Really? I thought it was because she knew some of your secrets and you were afraid she might expose them, so you didn't allow her to set foot in the Lu family."
Madam Lu's face went pale. Could Lu Lingche know something too?
