“Whether you want to marry me or not doesn’t matter. What matters is–I don’t want to marry your

James‘ dark eyes were full of irritation.

He was done being entangled with Mathilda and her fake sweetness. His tone remained cold as he continued, “I don’t like selfish, two–faced, manipulative women. So from now on, keep your pretentious nonsense to yourself.”

He didn’t harbor romantic feelings for Lily. That much was true.

But he was immensely grateful that it had been Lily who married into the Luke family–not Mathilda.

Mathilda was like a leech in a sewage drain–once she latched on, she wouldn’t let go.

If it had been her who married into the family, she’d have thrown tantrums and made his life hell the moment he woke up and wanted a divorce.

Lily, on the other hand, was a thousand times more straightforward.

He knew full well that the Ginger family had never been kind to her. Given how readily she’d agreed to the divorce, the least he could do was make sure those people didn’t drag her back just to mistreat her again.

After a moment of silence, he added, “Lily’s not going back to the Ginger family. Since you all already kicked her out, don’t come crawling back to meddle in her life. Get out.”

“James!”

Lily understood that he wasn’t saying this out of care for her. He simply hated Mathilda more. She didn’t harbor any illusions.

But Sean took his words the wrong way. He thought James didn’t want to divorce Lily at all. Furious and flustered, he couldn’t hold back his angry roar.

Unlike Bodger and Taylor, who only wanted Mathilda to marry into the Luke family to fulfill her wish, Sean had a different motive.

He wanted Mathilda to marry James–so Lily would be severed from him for good.

Only then would Lily belong to him. Entirely. Only to him.

“Get out,” James repeated, not bothering to waste breath. He issued the order again, even colder than before.

“Bodger, take your siblings and leave,” Nancy finally spoke up, her voice equally firm. “I’ve already accepted Lily as my daughter–in–law. I won’t allow some absurd claim about Mathilda wanting to marry James to dissolve their marriage/I hope none of you continue this senseless behavior or keep saying things that defy reason. Act wisely from now on.”

The three Ginger brothers and Mathilda clearly hadn’t achieved what they’d come for, and none of them were eager to leave.

They were just about to say more—when Wendy, Elsa, Luna, John, and Simon all entered the room.

Lily closed her eyes in disgust.

Could this day get any worse? Barely into the morning, she’d already been swarmed by this circus of lunatics. Her mood was in the gutter.

“Lily, I heard you were hurt. Are you doing better? Is the wound still painful?”

Luna rushed to her bedside as soon as she came in.

She was here on Wendy’s behalf.

Though Luna, Wendy, and Nancy had once all been classmates, her values no longer aligned with Nancy’s, and they’d grown apart. In contrast, she and Wendy had become closer and closer over the years–like kindred spirits.

That morning, Wendy had even gifted her the luxury diamond bag she’d been eyeing for years–over three million in price. Naturally, Luna was more than willing to return the favor.

The Luke family had already posted the video online exposing Wendy’s attempt to frame Lily, and the narrative had completely flipped. Wendy’s reputation was in ruins.

There was no saving her image now.

Their only hope was to convince Lily to forgive her–so she could at least avoid prison time.

Luna adopted her gentlest, most maternal expression, warmly gripping Lily’s hand with affection. “As soon as I heard you were hurt, I rushed over. You’ve always hated pain, and the thought of you suffering… it just breaks my heart…”

Looking into Luna’s eyes, brimming with tenderness and concern, Lily’s heart wavered for a moment. She had spent over a decade in the Ginger household. Years of living together naturally built deep bonds.

She had once sincerely respected Luna as a mother.

Before Mathilda returned, Luna had treated her with overwhelming care–as if she were the most precious thing in the world.

Seeing her like this now, Lily was momentarily transported back to those days. Her eyes stung with the heat of emotion.

Part of her wanted to reach out and embrace Luna.
