At the sound of Elsa’s voice, Lily finally cback to herself.

She lifted her eyes and looked at Elsa, who stood coldly before her, unwilling to yield but cloaked in an air of

pitiful grievance. Then, all of a sudden, she laughed.

“Elsa, when have | ever forced Wendy into anything? It’s always been you all-determined to target me, to ruin

me.”

She'd long since grown accustomed to keeping a miniature camera on her, a last line of defense. This twas

no exception-and she wasn’t about to naively reveal that trump card to Elsa.

“If it hadn't been for that camera in my car, Wendy would've destroyed me. With her methods, | would've been

condemned, smeared as a criminal, and thrown behind bars for years. You were trying to cut off every path | had

left, to make sure | could never rise again. And now you want my help? You think I'm skind of saint? The

evidence will be sent to the police. Criminals deserve to be punished!”

Elsa could taste blood on her tongue from how hard she was gritting her teeth.

Lily really was as selfish and vicious as she'd imagined-utterly unwilling to show mercy to her mother. She hated

Lily’s hypocrisy, her ruthlessness.

She wanted nothing more than to rush over and tear that disgusting, smug face apart.

But she knew that acting on impulse now would only backfire. Lily would take the moral high ground and make

her look even worse.

She didn’t have the strength to go up against the Luke family. Not yet.

So even with all her pride, she had no choice but to appear meek and let Simon and John stand up for her. She

stopped speaking to Lily. Her gaze fell to the ground, her voice soft and trembling with sorrow.

“I don’t want my mom to go to jail... | don’t want her to miss being within her final days... What can |

possibly do to save her...”

Her voice grew shakier by the second. More blood oozed from the corner of her lips. Her mouth trembled in pain-

and then she collapsed to the floor, motionless.

“Elsa!”

“Lizzy!”

Both Simon and John’s expressions changed instantly as they rushed toward her.

Simon's phoenix eyes were full of anguish. He caught Elsa carefully, then glared at Lily with deep hatred.

“I won't let you hurt Wendy! Don’t you dare pressure my cousin or Ivan into posting that video online! If you

keep pushing Wendy and something happens to Elsa... | won't forgive you!”

John was just as unhappy with Lily’s refusal to show mercy.

Chapter 194 A Clean Break

After Simon handed Elsa off to him, he quickly scooped her into his arms and held her tightly.

From above, he looked down at Lily.

He still ached at the sight of her injured arm.

He still felt guilty for the way he had wronged her.

But Elsa was on the brink of death. He couldn't bear to see Lily torment someone in their final days. With that in

mind, he no longer tried to console her. Instead, his voice rang out, harsh and accusatory.

“Lily, Elsa already apologized. You shouldn't keep pressing her. She only has a few months left. In the tshe

has left, she wants her mother by her side. | don’t want her to die with regrets. Wendy isn’t an evil person by

nature. | believe she understands what she did wrong and will sincerely apologize to you. You're only suffering

from superficial injuries. There's no life-threatening danger. | hope you can let this go.”

Lily burst out laughing again.

Let it go...

Wendy had deliberately hurt someone-breaking the law in a serious, violent way. She belonged in jail. That was

justice.

And now she was the one being told to let it go?

There was nothing more to say to John.

She didn’t waste another word. Her tone was icy and mocking as she said, “I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. |

fully intend to pursue this to the end.”

“Lily1”

John’s voice exploded in fury.

There was a sharp warning in his eyes. “This is your last chance. If you agree to make peace with Wendy, I'll

marry you. But if you insist on targeting her—and Elsa—then we're through. For good.”

Lily smiled.

This time, her smile cfrom the heart-genuine and full of joy.

She had never liked dragging things out.

When she told John they were over, it hadn't been a game. It wasn’t about playing hard to get.

When she ended it, she meant it. She had already let go, and she was never going to look back.

The only reason things had dragged out this long was because John kept clinging to her.

It had becexhausting.

Now, finally, he was offering to cut ties once and for all.

Perfect.

She lifted her gaze and smiled sincerely at him.

“A clean break? I've been hoping for that.”

“Lily1”

The blood in John’s eyes surged again.

He had been so sure Lily could never leave him.

He'd thought if he finally put his foot down, she'd panic, maybe soften up.

He never expected her to say she was glad.
