Truth be told, Jyro would've gladly shoved the video in James’ face if he could.
But with his hands and feet tightly bound, there was no way he could reach the phone in his pockets
Ashton bent down and retrieved it for him.
Meanwhile, John had cto the theater to persuade Lily to move back into the marital home. He also hoped to
convince her to make peace with Wendy.
Elsa, paranoid that old feelings might reignite between them, had followed close behind.
She thought everything had already gone according to plan-that Lily had been photographed and it was all
settled.
Never in her worst nightmares did she expect to hear Wendy's venomous voice-dripping with malice- just as she
and John stepped into the dressing room.
“One million in cash. | brought it. Once you strip Lily and get the photos, I'll pay the remaining five million.
Remember, nothing can go wrong this time!”
Elsa went pale as a sheet, her body barely holding upright. If she hadn’t grabbed John’s arm with all her
strength, she would've collapsed right there.
Wendy, trying to guarantee nothing went wrong, had delivered the money in person.
She never imagined Jyro would record everything.
Did this mean... her mom was really going to jail?
Elsa hadn't even recovered from the shock when Lily’s mocking voice cut in, cool and sharp..
“Simon, John, | assyou both just saw the video. Wendy was going to have someone stripand take those
kinds of pictures to forceto ‘reconcile’ with her. She never intended to leavealone. All she ever wanted
was to destroy me. Now, do you still think I'm being unreasonable for holding her accountable? Are you still
going to pressureinto forgiving her?”
Neither John nor Simon spoke right away.
They both looked stunned, as if the very foundation of their beliefs had just been shaken.

After a long pause, John finally muttered, “No... Wendy wouldn't do something like this...”
He truly couldn't believe Wendy-graceful, poised, and elegant-was capable of orchestrating such a vile plot.
But when he snatched the phone from Ashton and saw the video with his own eyes, there was no denying
Wendy's face was twisted and vicious on screen. Her voice unmistakable. It couldn't be faked.
He had no choice but to believe it now.

And the thought that Lily had almost been photographed like that made him sick with guilt and fear
Without a word, he stepped forward and kicked Jyro hard in the face.
“How dare you treat Lily like this? How dare you?!”
Jyro had assumed John, being on Elsa’s side, would never turn on him.
Cowering, he stammered, “Mr. John, please stop hitting met We were doing this for you! Wendy's your mother-
in-law-we were helping her, so we were helping you!”
“Shut your mouth!”
John shot a quick, uneasy glance at Lily.
He hated hearing those kinds of words said in front of her.
His next kick landed even harder.
“Wendy is just a respected elder. Lily is my girlfriend. You dare try to take those kinds of photos of my girlfriend?
You've got a death wish!”
Jyro was stunned.
Hadn't Lily just said he was James’ wife?
And judging from James’ reaction earlier, the two clearly had a deep connection.
Everyone knew John and Elsa were married.
So how the hell was Lily John’s girlfriend?
He was full of questions-but none of that mattered. Every person in this room was someone he couldn't afford to
offend. All he could do was grovel for his life.
Elsa hadn't expected John to say something like that either, not in front of everyone.
Humiliation slammed into her like a wave. Her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.
John had gone up to deal with Jyro and the others, so he wasn’t holding her anymore. She stumbled toward
Simon, clinging to his arm for support.
Simon startled, instinctively pulling away.
“John, take care of Lizzy. Can't you see she can barely stand?”

my mother would... Please believe me, she didn’t mean to go that far. Can you give her one last chance?”
“So she can keep trying to destroy me?”
Lily’s gaze was cold, disgusted.
