Chapter 1374
"He was under someone else's hypnotic control? What does that mean?" asked Vicky, stunned.
Jennifer's eyes reddened even more as she explained everything to Vicky.
"I sensed something was off with Anthony a long time ago. We grew up together, and he's never mistreated me
before. But, he became like a different person whenever Lily was around; he'd always take her side unconditionally.
"Whenever I fought with Lily, Anthony would always make me apologize to her no matter who was wrong or right.
His preferential treatment toward her was so obvious. But then I found out..."

"Someone hypnotized Anthony when he was kidnapped, and Lily...was the mastermind all along."
Vicky had heard this story from Jennifer before. Both Anthony and Lily were kidnapped when they were young.
Their bond became stronger after they spent a few days together as hostages. One day, when the kidnapper
decided to kill them, Lily sacrificed herself in exchange for Anthony's life.
Anthony's parents rescued him while he was unconscious while Lily was nowhere to be found. Since then, Lily had
always held a special place in Anthony's heart, and he never stopped looking for her. The gods must have pitied him
because he eventually found her one day.
"What do you mean, Lily was the mastermind behind the kidnapping?" Vicky asked.
Tears fell from Jennifer's eyes. Her voice trembled as she explained, "She was the one who planned the kidnapping
so she could become closer to him. She wanted Anthony to remember her forever, and that's why she pretended
to sacrifice herself for him.
"To ensure that the plan was foolproof, Lily got someone to hypnotize Anthony. The hypnotist kept planting the idea
in Anthony's mind that he fell in love with Lily because she saved his life. Anthony was still young then, so his
willpower wasn't as strong as it is now... The idea naturally took root in his head.
"Anthony's parents and I never realized anything about this because Lily wasn't in the picture for such a long time.
That was...until many years later. She must've thought the time was ripe for her to show up in front of Anthony
again."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicky was aware of everything that happened after that.
Lily needed a kidney transplant, and Jennifer happened to be a match for her. Thus, Anthony came to ask Jennifer
for the favor, but he ran away in a fit of anger after she refused. The whole thing caused a big ruckus, and their
parents inevitably had to get involved.
After that, it was discovered the whole thing was just a huge misunderstanding. The doctor had mixed up the
reports, so Lily was fine after all.
Even so, this matter made it very clear whose side Anthony was on from there on.
