Chapter 4

The woman was impeccably made up, covered in luxury. She clearly didn't expect anyone in the yard, hesitating for a moment before frowning slightly.

"Who are you, a seductress, daring to ignore the rules? Did you sneak here to seduce Lucien?"

One of the women behind her seemed to notice something, exclaiming, "Miss Amy, this seductress's face looks a bit like yours!"

Amy's gaze landed on my face, her almond eyes wide with shock and anger.

Before I could speak, she rushed to me and slapped me hard, her manicure scratching my face painfully.

"You b*tch, you had surgery to look like me and impersonate me?"

"Are you trying to sneak into Lucien's bed while he's away?"

She didn't realize why she was favored and saw me as a rival.

I glanced at her indifferently, with some pity. After all, like me, she was just a stand-in.

"Miss Amy, I have no intention of competing for Lucien. I'm sincerely advising you to leave this villa's restricted area, or else..."

Before I could finish, her followers fawned over her: "Who do you think you are? If our Miss Amy can't enter here, why can you, a b*tch?"

"Are you saying you're more noble than our Miss Amy?"

I was at a loss for words, unsure how to explain.

Should I say I'm Lucien's kept woman?

Such a shameful thing, I couldn't say it.

Before Amy, Lucien had another stand-in who spoke disrespectfully to me, and he immediately cut off all her resources, making her unable to survive in the entertainment industry.

That's when I realized Lucien's unrequited love for my mother had turned obsessive and even crazed.

So, I tried to warn Amy, but she didn't appreciate it.

Her eyes were filled with malice.

"Since I'm about to become the mistress of this villa, I'll start disciplining you dreamers and setting things straight."

"Even if Lucien finds out, he'll only praise me for saving him trouble. He might even give me the power to manage the company!"
