Chapter 616 The Truth of Lizzy
Finished
Tears streaked Jackson’s face as he gave a hoarse laugh. “My sister’s nickname… was also Lizzy.”
“What did you say?!”
Simon’s eyes flew wide open.
He knew the sister Jackson spoke of was Lily.
But Lily was Lily–why would Jackson claim she also had the name Lizzy?
Jackson ignored him, his tone sharp with bitter irony. “The first time I saw her in the
orphanage, I noticed she wore this pendant. She told me it was given to her by a boy. That year, during the earthquake, she and that boy were trapped under the rubble for over two days before rescue came. Simon—aren’t you that boy she spoke of?”
“That’s impossible…”
Simon’s face went pale, his body staggering.
He couldn’t stop recalling the image of Lily standing on stage, singing softly.
Every time he’d watched her sing, he had been reminded of Lizzy from his childhood.
But he had already acknowledged Elsa as Lizzy–so he had never thought Lily could be her.
Now Jackson was saying Lily’s nickname was Lizzy, and she too had been trapped with a boy under rubble for more than two days…
Could it be that Elsa had lied, and Lily was his real Lizzy?
No!
Lily couldn’t be Lizzy.
The pendant belonged to Elsa. Lily could never be Lizzy,
And he couldn’t have abandoned Lizzy in a moment of life and death–he couldn’t have chosen someone else over her!
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Elsa’s fingers trembled uncontrollably, panic flashing in her eyes.
She hadn’t expected Lily to be such a fool, telling Jackson about being trapped under the rubble

Her hands clenched together to still their shaking, but her breathing grew ragged. She gulped down air, even opening her mouth wide, but still felt she couldn’t breathe.
After struggling for a long moment, she forced herself to speak. “Sixteen years ago, it was clearly me and Simon trapped under the rubble. We encouraged each other, supported each other until the rescuers found us. How could it just happen that Lily was also trapped with some boy for the same two days? Yes, Lily and I were classmates in college. She must have heard me talk about it and decided to trick you!”
“Elsa, you disgusting liar–how dare you throw filth on my sister?”
Jackson tightened his grip on the pendant, his voice biting with mockery. “You say you were the one trapped with Simon under the rubble. If that’s true, then in those two days you must have said many things to him. Tell me what was the food you told him you hated most?”
me–what
“I… I…”
Elsa stumbled back, her face chalk white.
She had never been with Simon under the rubble–how could she possibly know what Lily had said?
She cursed Lily furiously in her heart. That shameless bitch–why would she tell Jackson everything?
Fabricating details like this was too easy to expose.
She fell back on the same excuse she had used before.
“That earthquake traumatized me. I suffered so much. When I was finally pulled out from the rubble, I fainted and burned with a fever for almost a week. When I woke, I’d forgotten many of
the details.”
“Ha!”
Jackson’s laugh rang sharp, cutting through the air. But it was laughter laced with grief. His chest ached so fiercely that even while laughing, tears poured down his face again.
