Chapter 406 Slap Back to Reality

After Mathilda returned, she snatched the cat–shaped hair clips from Lily.

Then she lied to the Ginger brothers, claiming Lily had flaunted them at her, saying, “Mom only loves me. Why else would she give me something so expensive for my birthday?” She said Lily had thrown the clips at her feet like some kind of charity.

She claimed she was worried Lily might want them back someday, so she had “safely” stored them away for her.

Last night, when her room caught fire, Luna had woken her up. They both could have gotten out safely.

But Luna had spotted the cat–shaped hair clips and muttered that they were Lily’s–she couldn’t let the fire destroy them. She insisted on going back for them. Mathilda said she tried to stop her, but Luna wouldn’t listen. The giant crystal portrait suddenly collapsed, pinning Luna beneath it.

Now, the brothers were furious again, cold and merciless as they threw the blame on Lily.

“Lily, because of those hair clips you threw at Mathilda, Mom got crushed under that giant photo. She’s still in critical condition. You must be thrilled, huh?”

“If it weren’t for you, Mom wouldn’t be hurt like this. How can you be so cruel?”

“The one who should’ve been burned alive isn’t Mom–it’s you! You’re selfish, disgusting, and shameless! All you ever do is hurt people and drag them down. Why aren’t you dead yet?”

“Get the hell out!”

James thought these Ginger dogs had nothing but shit in their brains.

When Luna got hurt last night, Mathilda was the only one with her.

Clearly, the story came straight from her mouth.

And in a moment where life and death hung in the balance–did anyone really believe Luna, who’d always been selfish, would risk herself for a pair of hair clips?

Mathilda was obviously lying.

And if she had nothing to do with Luna getting hurt, why lie at all?

It was far more likely that Luna had been crushed because of her.

Without hesitation, James kicked a/nearby chair at the three raging brothers, his eyes sharp and laced with icy contempt. “You three are beyond saving!”

“Even if Luna really got hurt over some stupid cat clips–what the hell does that have to do with Lily?”

“If you ask me, Luna got herself burned trying to save her precious daughter–Mathilda.”

“I didn’t!”

Mathilda hadn’t expected James to question her, especially not in front of the others. The Ginger men had always believed her without question.

Uncasy and on edge, her mind spun.

She loved her mother.

But if Lama woke up, she’d tell them everything–that it was Mathilda who pushed her. Then they’d all hate her. She had no other choice. She had to make sure Luna never opened her eyes again.

Swallowing her panic, she forced out tears. They streamed down her face in big, dramatic drops.

“I’m not blaming Lily. But it’s the truth. If Lily hadn’t humiliated me with those clips and forced me to keep them, Mom wouldn’t have gone back for them and gotten hurt. I just feel so awful for Mom… I…”

Smack!

Mathilda was still tearfully painting Lily as the villain when Lily suddenly stepped down from the bed and, with every ounce of strength she had, slapped her hard across the face.

Mathilda didn’t expect it. Stunned, she just stood there.

Half a minute passed before she finally managed to sputter, “Sis…”

“Who the hell is your sis?”

Lily slapped her again–harder this time. “You’re disgusting.”

Last night, she’d taken several slaps from Nancy. Tonight, Lily added two more. Mathilda was about to explode.

She wanted to lash out–really hurt Lily.

But in Bodger and James’s eyes, she was the fragile, kindhearted one. She couldn’t ruin that image by attacking Lily in a rage.

So she let the tears fall silently, casting pitiful looks at James and the others.

She hoped James would finally see Lily for what she truly was: low, filthy, and unbearable, that he’d finally abandon her.

She hoped her brothers would hate Lily even more and step in to punish her.

She saw James frown–and her eyes lit up instantly, watery and hopeful.

Was James finally disgusted by Lily?

But before she could even feel smug, she saw James gently cradle Lily’s hand in his own.

“Lily, does it hurt?”

No. No. No.

Mathilda screamed inside her head.

Chapter 406 Slap Back to Reality

She was the one who got slapped! And James was asking Lily if she was okay?

What the hell did that b*tch do to him? What kind of spell did she cast?!
