He clearly saw it too—Elsa’s smug, arrogant, venomous smile as she walked step by step toward the stairwell
and then hurled herself down.
The footage was crystal clear. Lily never even touched her. There was absolutely no way she had pushed Elsa
down the stairs.
Which meant Lily had been telling the truth. She really was innocent. And he once again-had misjudged her,

As soon as he heard Elsa's voice. Simon's gaze also locked onto Lily’s phone screen.
He wasn’t blind. He saw it all: Elsa walking deliberately toward the landing and then flinging herself down.
the stairs.
His eyes widened in shock, his entire worldview shaken to its core.
“How... how could this be?” he muttered, stunned.
Still dazed, he turned to Elsa, confusion etched across his face. “Lizzy... your illness is so severe. Why would you
not take care of yourself? Why would you throw yourself down the stairs on purpose just to frLily!”
Toco
Elsa's face turned ashen.
She never imagined-even in her worst nightmares-that despite tossing Lily’s phone, Lily had still managed to
capture the whole thing.
Did she... have a micro-camera on her?
That b*tch actually had a hidden camera on her....
How could she be so sneaky?
Elsa didn’t want to admit it. She couldn’t stand to admit that she had framed Lily.
But the video was too damning. If she kept insisting Lily had pushed her, it would only backfire. John and Simon
would end up even more disappointed in her.
The cold-hearted rose had no choice but to lower her proud head and soften her tone.

“You didn’t mean to?”
Lily actually let out a laugh, amused by how far Elsa was willing to stretch her lies.

you too blind to see it? Elsa, do you even believe your own crap?”
Elsa nearly lost control of her expression.
She hated Lily for being so aggressive and unrelenting.
But this time. Lily had the upper hand. She had evidence. Elsa had no excuse. She couldn't afford to argue. So
she lowered her eyes, letting silent tears stream down her face, hoping John and Simon would feel sorry for her.
Simon continued to stare at her with a complicated expression.
He knew Elsa didn’t want Wendy to go to prison.
He too hoped Elsa could get her wish, that her mother could be by her side during her last days.
But he couldn't understand what she had done.
She'd thrown herself down the stairs to frLily. If everyone believed Lily had hurt her, Elsa could've used that
leverage to make Wendy's charges go away.
But then, Simon and john would've hated Lily. They might've even done something to hurt her.
And just now, John had nearly strangled Lily in a fit of rage, had forced her body halfway over the railing. She
could've died right there.
That scene had been terrifying.
If John hadn't controlled his strength or had accidentally let go, Lily’s head would've cracked open on the floor
below.
Simon's confusion only deepened.

Elsa’s expression twisted even further.
So now he was saying she'd grown up wrong? That she wasn’t as pure or kind as she used to be?
And that back then, the one who stayed by his side... the one who sang him through those dark days... was that
b*tch Lily?
So what, now he thought Elsa couldn't hold a candle to a worthless tramp like Lily?

Simon didn’t respond.
Lizzy had always been the girl he cared about the most. He could never truly hate her.
But then he looked at Lily again-at the fear still lingering on her face, the deep red marks around her
throat.
And he suddenly didn’t know how to comfort Lizzy anymore.
