Chapter 257 She OwesLove
Simon's face darkened like a thundercloud; his voice turned so cold it could send chills down anyone’ spine. Lily
wasn't the least bit intimidated]!
After punting sdistance between herself and James, she snapped, “You're insane.”
“Simon, show srespect to Lily!”
Ivan usually got along with Simon; but he respected James-and by extension, he respected his future sister-in-
law. He couldn’t stand Simon yelling at her like that.
And frankly, he thought Simon was totally ruining the vibe, James was finally showing ssigns of
straightness, maybe if he and Ashton hyped things up, big bro and sis-in-law right even kies again.
Now with Simon shouting like that, there was no way Lily would be in the mood to kiss big bro again.
The more Ivan thought about it, the more he regretted bringing Simon along tonight, Huffing in frustration, he
said, “Lily is right. She and James are husband and wife, legally married and protected by law. They can do
whatever they want-it’s none of your business! If you ever disrespect her again, or help Elsa bully her, | swear I'll
make James beat the crap out of you! And I'll go straight to grandpa and grandma, and tattle so they can beat
you up too!”
Ivan, like Grace and the others, always stood by her unconditionally.
His defense warmed Lily’s heart, but a few of his words made her feel a little awkward.
She and James weren't exactly a proper married couple.
Their relationship was about to lose its legal standing.
Once the divorce cooling-off period ended, they'd be able to finalize the paperwork.
There was no way she could explain all that to Ivan, so she just snuck a guilty glance at James, silently hoping he
didn’t misunderstand her intentions.
James gave a cool, indifferent nod. Clearly, he wasn’t about to take Ivan’s nonsense to heart.

“Lily's not good enough for my cousin!”
Simon still couldn’t shake the image of Lily clinging to James just moments ago; it gnawed at him.
But he was too prideful to let anyone think he actually wanted to keep dating Lily.
His expression was icy as he glancell her way; his voice turned glacial. “My cousin is exceptional. | just don’t
want him sullied by a shameless woman like her.”
“Apologize to her, right now!” lvan’s handsface flushed red with anger the second he heard Simon call Lily
shameless.
James’ eyes also turned ice-cold in an instant.
It was true, he didn’t have romantic feelings for Lily; but that didn’t mean he’d let anyone insult her

His tone was sharp and commanding as he ordered, “Simon, apologize to Lily
“I will not apologize to a selfish, hypocritical woman!”

Simon's chest burned with rage. There was no way he’d bow his head to Lily. “She’s never been good enough for
you! You said yourself you were going to divorce her-you can’t fall for her tricks and let her cling to you for life!”
“Apologize.”
James’ glare was sharp as a blade, slicing straight into Simon's face-as if daring him not to, just so he'd have an
excuse to throw a punch.
Simon still didn’t want to apologize; but for sreason, the image of Elsa framing Lily last night-of John
choking her by the neck-flashed in his mind.
His chest twinged with a strange pang, and though he was clearly reluctant, he mumbled, “Lily, maybe you're
not that shameless, selfish, or fake, but you're still not good enough for my cousin!”
Ivan desperately wanted to shove a rock into Simon’s obnoxious mouth-just to see which was harder, the stone
or that mouth of his.
Lily couldn’t be bothered to keep arguing with Simon.
She was more worried that James, still soaked to the skin, would be uncomfortable. Noticing Ashton carrying a
large duffel bag, she quickly asked, “Did you bring clothes? James is completely drenched, and he’s running a
fever. He needs to change into something dry right away.”
“Yeah, | brought some.”

He was always cautious and meticulous. Knowing James had driven into a river, he made sure to pack a dry set
of clothes.
It obviously wasn’t appropriate for Lily to watch James change.
As Ashton stepped forward with the bag, she quickly walked out of the cave.

Ashton and Ivan promptly followed Lily outside.
Simon had no particular interest in watching men change clothes, but he had something to say to James, so he
stayed.
“James, you can't let Lily hug you like that again. She’s not right for you, She’s beneath you.”
