Chapter 138 Push Him Back

Chapter 138 Push Him Back

All Mathilda could hope for now was that her brothers hadn’t seen the footage.

But it was useless.

James, cold to her helpless pleas, had already played the video in front of her brothers.

“James, let me use Ashton’s phone.”

“Mm.”

Hearing Lily’s voice, James gave a quiet response and handed her the phone.

She gripped it tightly, reopened the video, and stepped directly in front of Jonah and Sean.

“Jonah. Sean. Do you still want to say I’m malicious and pushed Mathilda into the fountain? Are you still going to force me to apologize to her?”

“…”

The usually confident faces of Jonah and Sean were now filled with rare uncertainty.

And when they heard her call them by name–no longer brother–their hearts felt as if they were being sliced apart by a dull knife

How long had it been since she last called them that

“Lily, who pushed you into the water just now?”

Watching Jonah and Sean overwhelmed by regret and pain, James felt even more convinced that he’d made poor choices in friendship during his youth.

The Luke family never sought conflict

But if others started trouble, the Luke family would never back down.

And if, after the divorce, Nancy adopted Lily as her goddaughter–then she would be part of the Luke family.

As an older brother, he naturally had to teach her the Luke family’s way of handling things.

Before Lily could answer, he said coldly, “Push him back.”

Lily always remembered her debts. She’d long wanted to push him back.

But earlier, on her own, she hadn’t stood a chance against the Ginger brothers.

Now, with James and Ashton here, she had no reason to hold back. Jonah was about to learn firsthand what it felt like to struggle in cold water.

She stepped forward and used every ounce of strength she had to shove Jonah–still dazed by guilt and pain–straight into the fountain

“Lily!”

Soaked and furious, Jonali’s face darkened.

He couldn’t believe Lily–who once cared so much about him–could actually bring herself to push him into the fountain.

Sean hadn’t expected her to dare lay a finger on Jonah either. His face twisted as if she’d just blown up his entire family.

He stormed forward and barked, “Are you insane? How dare you push him into the fountain

Lily didn’t back down. She raised her hand and slapped him..

“Oh, so when he pushes me into a fountain, I deserve it. But when I push him, it’s suddenly an unforgivable crime? What kind of logic is that?”

That wasn’t what Sean meant.

He’d only thought Jonah pushed her because he believed she had hurt Mathilda.

Now that they’d seen the video and realized they were wrong, he felt she was being unreasonable by retaliating. And she had even slapped him…..

He really couldn’t stand this defiant, unapologetic version of her.

If she had just softened her attitude a bit, if she had been gentler–he might’ve taken her home tonight.

He honestly kind of missed her.

Missed the way she used to follow behind him, calling his name in that soft, sweet voice.

“Jonah! Sean, are you hurt?”

Mathilda knew the footage had destroyed her. There was no way to twist the

But when she saw Lily brazenly raise a hand against Jonah and Sean, she regained a bit of ground. Crying again, she stood tall on the moral high ground.

I know I was wrong tonight. I inade a mistake and upset you. But if you’re angry, you can hit me. How could you lay hands on them? They’re our brothers!”

“You’re right. You should be hit.”

Lily’s head was spinning again, but she still summoned all her strength and landed several hard slaps across Mathilda’s face.

“Lily”

Yes, Mathilda had done wrong tonight.

But Jonah and Sean were too attached, too full of guilt. Seeing Lily slap her, their eyes turned red with fury.
