Chapter 304 Forced Responsibility

Simon shouted in rage,“John, you’re nothing but a goddamn animal! Lizzy is seriously ill, and you dared to hit her? You dared to force yourself on her like that? You took away her first time. You have to take responsibility!”

Elsa clutched the blanket around her bruised and battered body, her eyes lowered like a broken red rose— beautiful, proud, and painfully fragile.

My only wish left in this life… is to marry John…”

Simon had already believed John should marry Elsa after what happened. But hearing her say that out loud made him even more forceful.

“You must marry Lizzy. As soon as the City Hall reopens after the holidays, you and Lizzy are getting a marriage certificate.”

“I’m not getting a marriage certificate with her…”

John couldn’t stop the thought–if he married Elsa, there would be no way Lily would ever forgive him. Every part of him rejected the idea on instinct.

After a pause, he continued, “I’ve already given her a wedding ceremony before. She doesn’t have much time left, and I’ll stay with her until the end.

I’ll also compensate her financially. If she wants shares in Jones Corp, fine. But I won’t marry her.”

“John, what did you just say?”

Elsa’s eyes widened in disbelief and humiliation.

I was sure that John, being a man of responsibility, would never walk away after we slept together. He had to take responsibility.

But now, I was his woman, and he still refused to marry me?

What good was that empty wedding without a name or legal status?

What I wanted was to become Mrs Jones–to be his lawfully wedded wife, protected by the system.

“Elsa, I’m truly sorry for what happened last night.”

John looked at her bruised face, his heart weighed with guilt and shame–but deep down, resentment was rising.

She shouldn’t have come last night.

If she hadn’t shown up, none of this would’ve happened.

But she was the victim. I couldn’t bring myself to say something so heartless.

After a moment of silence, he added, “For the rest of your time, I’ll take good care of you.

Chapter 304 Forced Responsibility

But in this life, the only woman I’ll ever call my wife… is Lily.”

“John…”

Elsa’s lashes quiyered, and tears rolled silently down her face.

Simon, seeing her cry like that, felt his heart shatter. She meant everything to him. He stepped forward and slammed his fist into John’s face.

“You bastard! You hurt her, used her, and now you won’t take responsibility? What kind of man are you?

If you dare betray Lizzy for Lily, I swear I’ll make you pay!”

Of course, Simon had his own motives.

I knew Lily wanted nothing to do with him, and John had already started pulling back from setting them up.

But Lily had stolen my first kiss–and had seen my body.

She had to take responsibility.

And John is the biggest obstacle between me and Lily. I need John to marry Elsa and get out of the way.

John knew how unfair it looked. He’d hurt Elsa–physically, emotionally–and still refused to give her the one thing she asked for.

But the thought of losing Lily forever was even more unbearable.

His face darkened as he repeated, “I’ll compensate Lizzy however she wants. But I won’t marry her.”

“You have to marry her!”

Simon clenched his fists, rage pouring from him, and punched John again. “Lily was supposed to be my fiancée. She belongs with me!”

John didn’t fight back at first. He knew he was in the wrong.

But the second he heard those words, something snapped.

So that’s what this was about.

He realized now—Simon didn’t care about right or wrong. He just wanted Lily.

You don’t cover your best friend’s woman.

Simon had crossed the line

John leapt from the bed and threw a punch straight into Simon’s face, fury erupting from every inch of

him.

Lily is mine. You even think about touching her again, I’ll kill you!”
