The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 210 No Mercy

Chapter 210 No Mercy

“No.”

Lily lowered her gaze and looked down at Wendy with chilling indifference. Her voice was firm, leaving no room

for argument. “Your phony regret means nothing to me. What | want is for you to be punished to the fullest

extent of the law.”

“Lily, don’t go too far!”

Just moments ago, when Simon heard that Lily had once struggled in freezing water for nearly an hour and lost

her ability to have children, his chest had tightened with guilt.

But now, seeing her relentlessly press Wendy while Elsa stood there pale, blood at the corners of her lips and

looking like she might collapse, his temper snapped. “Wendy already apologized to you! What more do you

want?”

Lily let out a cold laugh. “You're so forgiving, Simon. So tell-me-if | murdered you and then apologized at your

grave, would you choose to forgive me?”

“Lily1”

Veins bulged at Simon's temples, his fury boiling. Why couldn’t this woman ever just let things go?

“Lily, please... I'm begging you, let my mom go.”

Elsa couldn't bring herself to apologize to Lily, but humiliation colored her cheeks and eyes nonetheless as she

pleaded. Just as she finished, her body shuddered violently, and a harsh cough tore from her throat, blood oozing

from the corners of her mouth.

“Elsa!”

John rushed to her, catching her before she fell. He pulled her tightly into his arms, then turned sharply on Lily,

his voice laced with accusation.

“Elsa’s condition has worsened fast these past two days. Are you really going to keep pushing until she dies?

Lily, I don’t want Elsa spending the last moments of her life filled with regret. I'll say it again-make peace with

Wendy. Stop being so cruel!”

James had no interest in meddling in Lily’s personal affairs.

Least of all her tangled with John and the rest.

But strangely, seeing John act like her boyfriend, ordering her around, something about it unsettled him.

And when he looked over at Lily's pale face, those familiar eyes that so closely resembled Leila’s glistening with

unshed tears, a heaviness tightened in his chest.

That dull ache made his mouth move before his brain could stop him.

“John, whether | end up divorcing Lily or not, the fact is, she is still my wife. And as James’ wife, no one has the

right to dictate her actions-not you. There will be no reconciliation. Wendy at...cked and framed my wife. That

means she made herself an enemy of the Luke family. As far as I'm concerned, we're mortal

enemies now.”

John’s face darkened.

He hadn't expected James to publicly call Lily his wife like that.

Wasn't he desperate to divorce her? Why was he defending her like this?

But then he remembered-James already had someone he loved. He'd even tried to set up Lily with Simon not

long ago. That reminder soothed a bit of the jealousy gnawing at him.

Still, in his mind, Lily was his. His future bride. And hearing James say otherwise lit a fire in him.

A sharp, icy fire flared in his eyes as he stepped forward, staring James down without backing off.

“Lily isn’t your wife. She’s my girlfriend.”

“Heh.”

James let out a short, scornful laugh. The air around him turned cold and imposing.

“Everyone knows you already held a wedding with Elsa. You've got a new woman, and you're still chasing your

ex? You and Elsa are a perfect match-selfish, hypocritical, and shameless.”

“How dare you say that about Lizzy!”

Simon couldn't help feeling sour hearing James call Lily his wife.

Even though he didn’t particularly like her, he didn’t mind the idea of being set up with her.

Now, watching tears pool in Elsa’s

eyes and blood stain her lips, hey

quickly added, Foul begging you-let

Vigridly Do she ends up in prison,

Lizzy won't hold on much longer. You

can't just sit back and watch her die!”

“Simon, no one forced Wendy to run Lily over and frher.”

James wasn’t swayed by guilt trips.

“She committed a crime, and now

she must face the consequences. It's

called justice. Lily is doing poghing

more then defeacind-fet legal rights.

Whdt part of that makes her the one

at fault? If Wendy goes to prison and

Elsa dies from grief, that's on them. It

has nothing to do with me—or with

Lily." The content is on

“James...”

Simon could see it now-James had made up his mind. Wendy wasn’t getting away this time.

He wanted Elsa to be happy. He didn’t want her to suffer. But he knew all too well-once James decided

something, no one could changeit.

James turned away from him, no longer bothering to look his way. His eyes locked onto Wendy, and his voice

dropped, cold and razor-sharp.

“Wendy, you deliberately injured

someone. That's a serious crime

You'd better stay hofe 2nd wait for

the EON none) After the public

backlash, after your name's been

dragged through the mud-you still

have the nerve to strut around like nothing happened? What, are you hoping sderanged netizen dumps

sewage on you in public?”

James had always carried the presence of someone used to power. And with a face so commanding and striking,

the weight of his gaze was suffocating.

Under his stare, cold sweat broke out on Wendy's forehead.

For a brief second, she felt an overwhelming urge—to run.
