Simon had always admired James, the most brilliant among them. Even though anger still clouded his chest, James’s words stirred doubt in his mind.

“Elsa, what did you do to Lily?”

“I didn’t do anything…”

Elsa longed for Simon to embrace her, but he kept his distance. With no choice, she leaned pitifully against the wall, tears dripping down her face. “I just told her I hoped we could get along from now on, and she suddenly slapped me again and again. She even said she wanted to send me on my way early…”

“Simon, she beat me for so long. I’m in so much pain…”

“Elsa, you really are good at twisting the truth.”

Lily, sickened by the shameless lies, replied coolly. “You wanted to get along with me? That’s funny–I saw you sneaking up behind me, trying to push me so I’d miscarry. That’s your idea of getting along?”

“Lily, what did you just say?”

Zoey and the others froze, their expressions instantly darkening.

They trusted Lily’s character. She was a good child, not one to raise a hand without reason. But if Elsa truly dared to harm the baby she carried–right under the Bale family’s roof–then the audacity was beyond belief.

“I was washing my hands,” Lily explained steadily. “I heard footsteps, light–far too light. No normal person would walk like that. I guessed Elsa was trying something. When she came closer, I dodged—and sure enough, she lunged at me to push me over.”

“I did not!”

Elsa’s voice cracked, anger and panic twisting her face into something grotesque. She would never admit such a thing–especially not here.

Pride ran in her bones; she hated playing the pitiful victim. But she couldn’t let her future in–laws, her would- be grandparents, believe she was some vicious, selfish slut. So she forced out a choked denial, tears trembling in her lashes. “I really didn’t hurt Lily… You were all home. I’m not stupid. How could I possibly hurt her right under your noses?”

But Zoey and the others only looked at her with colder

disdain. The very reasoning she offered was the flaw. Precisely because the elders were near, Elsa might think harming Lily in secret would free her from suspicion.

Elsa saw the distrust in their eyes. Desperation drove her to clutch Simon’s sleeve, her voice breaking. “Simon, please, you have to believe me. I didn’t try to hurt her tonight. I like you–I just want to be with you. And I want Lily to be with her cousin happily. She’ll be my sister–in- law then, family. How could I ever hurt her?”

Simon froze, his mind reeling

Lizzy… liked me?

Wasn’t she supposed to be devoted to John, ready to follow him for life? He had only ever treated her as a sister–how could this even be possible?

But now wasn’t the time to pick that apart. What mattered was convincing the others that Elsa hadn’t harmed Lily, that Lily had been the one to attack, and that Elsa deserved justice.

His brow furrowed tightly, and his glare sharpened on Lily like a blade. “Lily, stop twisting things. Apologize to Lizzy!”

“Idiot!”

At Elsa’s confession, Dennis and the others were stunned. To them, Simon had always been just a lovesick fool- clingy because Elsa once saved his life, while she and John were the real pair.

But now it seemed she had lost interest in John and was angling for their foolish grandson instead. That alone was enough to infuriate them.

Jamie shoved a broom at Simon with disgust. “Can’t you see who’s twisting things? Are you brain–dead? Apologize to Lily, now!”

“I will never apologize to Lily!”

Simon’s pride flared–he would never bow his head. Dodging Jamie’s broom, he snapped, “No matter what happened between Lily and my dear Lizzy, Lily had no right to hurt her so cruelly. She must apologize today!”

“Simon… it hurts…”

Elsa’s tears fell harder as she leaned into his protection, painting herself pure and blameless, while casting Lily as venomous and unforgivable.

As she cried, her fingers brushed lightly over the red cord at her neck. She was terrified Lily would notice the pendant hanging there–the very piece she had taken
