Apparently, he had suffered a lot. Later, in a twist of fate, the man who kidnapped him died in a car accident, and Jackson ended up in an orphanage.

He had been too young when he was taken and didn’t remember who his birth parents were. It wasn’t until he was six that the Scott family finally found and brought him back home,

James had thought Lily’s old classmate was just a regular guy. He hadn’t expected her fiancé to be the treasured young heir of the prestigious Scott family.

The Scott family wasn’t short on money, but no matter the situation, a woman needed her own financial footing to stand tall.

Besides, Jackson was only twenty–one–still in that playful age, not necessarily reliable. James would still have Ashton sort out his own assets and give half to Lily.

That way, she’d have her own financial independence and wouldn’t have to depend on anyone.

He wanted Lily to always have that confidence..

Treat Lily well.”

It was James’s first time acting as someone’s older brother, and he honestly didn’t know how to protect a younger sister.

All he could do was offer a cold warning to Jackson, making it clear not to let Lily get hurt. “If you ever make her suffer, I won’t let it slide.”

“He’s threatening me!”

Jackson clung to Lily’s arm, looking utterly pitiful and aggrieved.

James was speechless.

The young master of the Scott family was hardly some innocent pushover,

Where did he get off acting all helpless in front of a young woman?

Still, James wasn’t the type to stir up drama, and he certainly wasn’t going to expose Jackson’s act in front of Lily.

All he did was shoot Jackson a cold glance, silently warning him not to act up–and especially not to make Lily suffer.

The chill in James’s eyes made Jackson’s brows twitch.

James’s aura was overwhelming. Just one cold stare from him had Jackson flashing back to the brutal look on his dad’s face during beatdowns.

He also knew James was notorious for being a good fighter.

Jackson might be a cocky, little tyrant who feared nothing, but even he wasn’t sure he could take James in a

fight.

Then again, Lily was do–beat him up in front of her?

Jackson hugen here beside him. What was James go to

Jackson hugged Lily’s arm tighter, giving her the full puppy–dog eyes treatment. At nearly six–foot–three, he somehow managed to look like an abused golden retriever

“He’s so mean. No wonder you want a divorce. He probably always scares people. Actually, it’s probably because he’s old, I heard he’s already twenty–six. Once a guy hits twenty–five, it’s all downhill from there. Not like me–I’m twenty–one, young, strong, and full of energy. It’s totally understandable that you don’t want him anymore

“Cough, cough…”

Lily thought Jackson was laying it on a little too thick.

Besides, with James’s stamina, how could he possibly be “on the decline“?

Last night, she’d been nearly wrecked!

Obviously, she couldn’t say something like that out loud. All she could do was shoot Jackson a look, silently begging him to tone it down.

Twenty–six over the hill…

James’s face darkened in waves, his fists clenching dangerously.

Still, he didn’t want to scare Lily. And Jackson was the boyfriend she loved. For her sake, James refrained from putting Jackson in his place.

Jackson noticed the restraint and got even bolder. “Hey, Lily told me you two already filed for divorce. Don’t you dare back out on the day you’re supposed to pick up the certificate! I’ve already got my ID ready. That day’s a good day–once you two finish your divorce, Lily and I can go register our marriage!”

James had no intention of backing out.

Even if the pain in his chest was almost unbearable, he still responded calmly, “Mm.”

When are you free?”

Jackson either didn’t notice or didn’t care about Lily’s subtle signals to stop. He just kept poking James right in the heart

“If you hadn’t been dumb enough to not appreciate Lily, I wouldn’t have had the chance to love her this much. So honestly, I’m super grateful for your neglect. Let me take you out to dinner sometime to say thanks

James had promised Henry and Grace that, he would help vet Lily’s future husband.

Even though Jackson’s toothy grin made him want to look away, he still answered in a frosty tone, “I’ll contact you when I’m available:

He really didn’t want to see Jackson clinging to Lily like a sticky worm any longer. After saying that, he tuned and walked toward his car.
