The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 No More Excuses

Truth be told, Jyro would’ve gladly shoved the video in James‘ face if he could.

But with his hands and feet tightly bound, there was no way he could reach the phone in his pockets

Ashton bent down and retrieved it for him.

Meanwhile, John had come to the theater to persuade Lily to move back into the marital home. He also hoped to convince her to make peace with Wendy.

Elsa, paranoid that old feelings might reignite between them, had followed close behind.

She thought everything had already gone according to plan–that Lily had been photographed and it was all settled.

Never in her worst nightmares did she expect to hear Wendy’s venomous voice–dripping with malice- just as she and John stepped into the dressing room.

“One million in cash. I brought it. Once you strip Lily and get the photos, I’ll pay the remaining five million. Remember, nothing can go wrong this time!”

Elsa went pale as a sheet, her body barely holding upright. If she hadn’t grabbed John’s arm with all her strength, she would’ve collapsed right there.

Wendy, trying to guarantee nothing went wrong, had delivered the money in person.

She never imagined Jyro would record everything.

Did this mean… her mom was really going to jail?

Elsa hadn’t even recovered from the shock when Lily’s mocking voice cut in, cool and sharp..

“Simon, John, I assume you both just saw the video. Wendy was going to have someone strip me and take those kinds of pictures to force me to ‘reconcile‘ with her. She never intended to leave me alone. All she ever wanted was to destroy me. Now, do you still think I’m being unreasonable for holding her accountable? Are you still going to pressure me into forgiving her?”

Neither John nor Simon spoke right away.

They both looked stunned, as if the very foundation of their beliefs had just been shaken.

After a long pause, John finally muttered, “No… Wendy wouldn’t do something like this…”

He truly couldn’t believe Wendy–graceful, poised, and elegant–was capable of orchestrating such a vile plot.

But when he snatched the phone from Ashton and saw the video with his own eyes, there was no denying

Wendy’s face was twisted and vicious on screen. Her voice unmistakable. It couldn’t be faked.

He had no choice but to believe it now.

And the thought that Lily had almost been photographed like that made him sick with guilt and fear

Without a word, he stepped forward and kicked Jyro hard in the face.

“How dare you treat Lily like this? How dare you?!”

Jyro had assumed John, being on Elsa’s side, would never turn on him.

Cowering, he stammered, “Mr. John, please stop hitting met We were doing this for you! Wendy’s your mother–in–law–we were helping her, so we were helping you!”

“Shut your mouth!”

John shot a quick, uneasy glance at Lily.

He hated hearing those kinds of words said in front of her.

His next kick landed even harder.

“Wendy is just a respected elder. Lily is my girlfriend. You dare try to take those kinds of photos of my girlfriend? You’ve got a death wish!”

Jyro was stunned.

Hadn’t Lily just said he was James‘ wife?

And judging from James‘ reaction earlier, the two clearly had a deep connection.

Everyone knew John and Elsa were married.

So how the hell was Lily John’s girlfriend?

He was full of questions–but none of that mattered. Every person in this room was someone he couldn’t afford to offend. All he could do was grovel for his life.

Elsa hadn’t expected John to say something like that either, not in front of everyone.

Humiliation slammed into her like a wave. Her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.

John had gone up to deal with Jyro and the others, so he wasn’t holding her anymore. She stumbled toward Simon, clinging to his arm for support.
