“I didn’t push Eksa.”

Lily knew talking to John was like talking to a brick wall.

So when she said those words, she didn’t even look at him. She only turned to James.

“I knew Wendy and her daughter wouldn’t give up easily. I came prepared today. I recorded Elsa framing me earlier. My phone got thrown downstairs by her. I’m not feeling great right now–could you help me retrieve it?

Ashton had already called for backup. His men would be arriving soon to take care of the rest.

When they arrived, Ashton had immediately followed James here. Seeing his boss holding Lily tightly, he obviously wouldn’t let James go downstairs himself.

He quickly walked down the stairs and picked up Lily’s phone.

It was the same phone James had given her when she was hospitalized. High–quality. Even after Elsa had flung it down the stairs, there wasn’t a single visible scratch on it.

Ashton brought the phone back respectfully and handed it to Lily.

Elsa had heard what Lily said just now.

When she realized Lily might have caught everything on video, her bloodied face turned visibly panicked.

But then she remembered–before she’d flung herself down the stairs, she had already thrown Lily’s phone far away. There was no way Lily could’ve recorded her setup. Her tense heart gradually began to

Lily was probably just bluffing.

“John, Simon… it hurts… it really hurts… What did I ever do wrong that Lily keeps hurting me like this? Why does she want me dead? Lily, what tricks are you trying to pull now?”

John was convinced that Elsa would never risk her own life as a ploy. He didn’t believe Lily had any so- called evidence either.

As soon as he finished, Simon also barked, “Lily, apologize to Lizzy!”

Lily didn’t answer. She was too busy looking for the video.

Elsa whimpered again and, voice trembling, tried to make a deal.

“Lily, I don’t have long to live. After what happened tonight–after you pushed me down those stairs–I’m in so much pain. I probably don’t even have a few days left. But I won’t press charges. I won’t send you to

prison. I only ask one thing. make peace with my mom. She gave me life. She’s my only family. I don’t want her suffering in jail. I don’t want to spend my final days without her. Let’s forget what happened between us. Please… stop going after my mother,”

“In your dreams.”

There was no way Lily would reconcile with Wendy,

Still scrolling through her phone, she said coldly, “Wendy has tried to destroy me over and over again. I will make her pay, even if it means rotting in prison. And Elsa–tonight you framed me and sicced that rabid dog John on me. Don’t think I’ll let that slide.”

“Lily!”

John’s face darkened, his fury boiling over at being called a beast after what he saw as her wrongdoing.

He stormed forward, reaching to grab her from James‘ arms. “Come here! Apologize to Elsa!”

Bang!

Before John could even touch her, James‘ fist smashed into his face again.

“James! Are you looking to die?!”

Rage twisted John’s features as he swung at James in return.
