The Broken Hearted She and the ley He

Chapter 579 The Return

A few days earlier James had coaxed Lily into re–registering their marriage certificate.

So now he could rightfully call Lily his wife.

He gave Renee no quarter. Before she could answer, he barked, “Get out!”

“I didn’t mean to hurt Lily…”

Renee sobbed so hard she could barely catch her breath. After a long, shuddering inhale she found her voice again.

“I was foolish for a moment–that’s why I did something so stupid. James, Lily didn’t drink that bowl. I know I was wrong. Please, don’t be mad at me anymore.”

Jetson gaped in shock.

Renee–who’d always seemed harmless–had actually tried to harm James’s wife?

And James’s wife was carrying twins.

If Renee had really done such a despicable thing, James suing her wasn’t unexpected.

“I don’t believe you were just careless.” James’s voice remained cold as iron. “I only believe you’re vicious and deserve every punishment. Get out.”

“Wah…”

Renee didn’t want to leave.

She knew Jetson genuinely considered her a friend. She’d hoped his support might soften James. Maybe a few drinks and a real conversation could thaw things–perhaps more. She’d

counted on that chance.

But after James snapped at Jetson, Jetson dared not utter a word. With no one to defend her and James so merciless, she had no opening to turn the night around.

She left the private room in tears, stomping as she fled–not willing to concede defeat.

No. She couldn’t give up like that.

She had to sleep with him and get pregnant by him, no matter what. Even if it meant using the low, despicable tricks she’d once scorned, she’d make him leave Lily and secure her place. If she could force a child with him, Lily would have to be driven out of the Luke family.

With that thought, she wasted no time and hurried back to the villa the Luke family had gifted

to Susan.

“Renee, why are you back so soon?” Susan asked.

Susan had known part of Renee’s plan that night. She’d assumed a few days would cool James’s temper; with childhood ties and Jetson’s help, the two could reconcile–and perhaps, under the cover of a tipsy night, something more might happen.

She hadn’t expected her daughter to come home in tears so soon.

“Mom, Jetson wouldn’t speak up for me, and James is still furious,” Renee said, wiping her eyes and speaking with burning resentment. “James told me to get out… he’s already been completely bewitched by that vixen. Even if I’m prettier and better than her, he can’t see it.”

To be fair, Renee was a rare beauty–one in a thousand. But Lily’s face was a different kind of breathtaking; Renee knew she couldn’t truly compete. Still, with a mother’s biased eye, Susan believed her daughter far superior.

Susan frowned. “That little bitch certainly has ways about her–she’s managed to make James obey her.”
