Once they were in the car, Jetson suddenly remembered James still hadn’t explained what Rence had actually done to Lily.

His curiosity boiling over, he asked, “So what exactly did Renee do to Lily? Don’t tell me she tried throwing herself at you too?”

“Shut up.”

James instantly regretted not kicking him earlier.

If Jetson spread nonsense that made Lily suspicious of him, he would snap his legs without hesitation.

“What then, she tried climbing into your bed?”

James despised wasting words on Jetson. But the more ridiculous his guesses grew, the less James could risk Lily hearing such rumors. His voice was cold as he clarified, “She gave Lily abortion medicine.”

“Lily didn’t drink it–Ivan did.”

“What?!”

Jetson’s eyes went wide with shock. He had never imagined this was why James wanted to take Renee to court.

He smacked himself across the face. “I deserve it! That filthy woman actually tried to poison Lily, and I wanted you two to reconcile? I’m worse than trash! James, I support you suing Renee. If Luke Group’s legal team isn’t enough, the Chen family’s legal team is yours to use too! If anyone dared give my wife abortion drugs, I’d make sure she wished for death in prison and never got it! James, once Renee’s in jail, you’d better not let her off easy!”

Watching Jetson slap himself, James’s disdain for him finally eased a little.

He didn’t linger—he was eager to get back to his wife. After dropping Jetson at the Corden family villa, he drove straight back to the Luke estate.

There was still Jetson’s snot on his sleeve.

Worried Lily might notice and recoil, he first showered in a guest room and changed into clean clothes before heading into their bedroom.

He had barely pushed the door open when Lily hopped off the bed, stormed up to him with puffed cheeks, and demanded, “James, why did you go see Renee again? What are you trying to

Earlier that evening Lily had checked her social feed. As expected, she’d found another of Renee’s “only visible to her” posts.

Renee was like a poisonous snake, lurking in the shadows, always trying to drive a wedge between them.

Lily trusted James’s heart. But knowing he had gone to Renee’s place still made her uneasy.

She knew he wouldn’t willingly do anything with Rence. But a dagger in the dark was harder to guard against. What if Renee tried drugging him? Even if he resisted, the thought was nauseating.

And it hurt more that he still went when it was Susan calling.

He knew Susan schemed after Blanc, yet he still worried about her. That felt unfair to Nancy, and Lily couldn’t smile it away.

“Renee posted pictures,” Lily pressed on, her cheeks puffed out like buns. “One of them had her practically naked under sheer fabric. Did you see her like that?”

“And Susan covets Dad, dreaming of becoming his mistress, yet you care about her? Mom gave birth to you for nothing!”

“If you keep pitying Susan and upsetting Mom, I won’t talk to you anymore!”

“I don’t pity Susan.”

Lily thought she was being fierce.

But with her soft cheeks and bright eyes, James found her unbearably cute, not angry at all.

Seeing her bare feet on the floor, he scooped her up to keep her warm before answering. “I know Susan covets Dad. I would never help her do anything to disappoint Mom.”
