The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 The Bracelet Wasn’t Even Broken

She had poured so much effort into landing the voice role for “Siren“, she wouldn’t let Lily get to voice Blaze so easily.

She wasn’t having it.

Today, she had to get the voice acting role for “Blaze“.

“Who are you calling a wench? Yvonne, what’s wrong with you?”

Ivan snapped. “Get lost–now. Keep spewing that garbage, and I swear I’ll have someone wash your mouth out for you.”

“Did I say anything wrong? Lily’s just a dog, a shameless whore! Casting someone like her will only ruin ‘Blaze‘! Mr. Ivan, you’ll regret this!”

The image of Lily and Ivan together last night felt like a thorn lodged in John’s heart.

Now that it was clear she and Ivan were just working together, his expression softened a little.

But the moment he heard Yvonne tear Lily apart so viciously, his gaze turned cold as ice.

“Shut up!”

He cut Yvonne off sharply. “I already told you–Lily is my girlfriend. Show some damn respect, or deal with the consequences!”

Ivan nearly laughed out loud at that nonsense.

Lily had already released a statement about their breakup, and John still dared to call her his girlfriend?

Dream on.

Yvonne’s face turned a shade of purple like a bruised liver.

Her hatred for Lily deepened.

But she was also genuinely terrified of losing her monthly living expenses–300000 dollars, so she didn’t dare talk back to John.

She threw Lily a venomous glare and ran off in tears.

Elsa’s face had also gone pale.

She hadn’t expected John to publicly defend Lily with her standing right there.

What made it worse was remembering how, just last night, she’d leaned in to kiss him–only for him to freeze up, then pull away. Even after she’d taken off her clothes, lowered her proud head, and offered herself to him, he still didn’t touch her. The shame had practically made her want to grind her teeth to

dust.

“John, you and Yvonne really are cousins–you’re both insane.”

Lily hadn’t expected John to stand up for her like that.

But once your heart’s been shattered, a small gesture like that doesn’t soften you; it doesn’t move you.

Because no matter how many sweet moments he might offer her now and then, they couldn’t erase how many times he’d chosen Elsa over her, how deeply he’d hurt her.

“I’ll say it again–we broke up a long time ago. From now on, I don’t care if you live, die, marry, or rot–we have nothing to do with each other.”

“Lily!”

John’s eyes darkened, dangerous and stormy.

But Lily didn’t look back. She lifted her foot and walked straight into the recording booth.

John instinctively moved to follow her, but Elsa grabbed his hand tightly.

He remembered his promise from last night–to stay with her until the end—and in the end, he didn’t chase after Lily.

“Ivan, I’ll head out first,” said Simon.

Simon was Ivan’s maternal cousin. After a quick word with him, Ivan followed Lily into the recording booth.

The heavy doors shut behind them, leaving Simon staring blankly outside.

He hated Lily from the bottom of his heart.

And yet, every time he saw those red lips of hers, his heart would start beating all out of rhythm.

He told himself it was just because she had no shame–because she’d stolen his first kiss. That must be why he got so worked up whenever he saw her.

After convincing himself of that, he finally tore his eyes away from the booth doors and went with John to accompany Elsa to the booth next door.

Ivan really had a knack for boosting morale. After each take, he would shower Lily with praise.

Compliments came pouring out of him like a rainbow–never the same, never boring–until Lily actually started to feel embarrassed.

During a short break, Lily stepped out to use the restroom.

Just her luck–right outside the bathroom, she ran into Elsa and Yvonne.

Elsa knew Simon and Ivan were cousins and had a great relationship. Earlier, she had subtly hinted to
