NovelBookhapter 26 Blood, Fire, and Fury
“There were also sextrnetizens who cornered Ms. Lily and started hurling insults-and garbage -at her.”
Wayne said as he pulled up the video on his phone.
John glanced down and saw a crowd surrounding Lily. Banana peels, rotten eggs, apple cores, soda, milk tea... all
thrown at her from every direction.
Her face was completely smeared by rotten eggs. Milk tea and soda had soaked her hair. Someone even hurled a
full, unopened bottle of water at her head, It hit her hard enough to make her stumble, nearly collapsing to the
ground.
John’s fingers clenched tighter and tighter. He wanted nothing more than to grind every one of those attackers
into dust.
There was already a swollen lump forming on her forehead-she was clearly hurt.
“Find them!”
The pain blooming wildly in his chest made it impossible to keep watching.
He barked at Wayne, “I want detailed information on every single one of them! Notify Legal. I'm pursuing this all
the way!”
The air around John was sharp with fury. It was cold-deadly cold-and terrifying.
But Wayne secretly let out a breath of relief.
He'd always felt that John’s favoritism toward Elsa was misplaced. Seeing him finally standing up for Ms. Lily was
a welcsight.
After all, during John’s hardest years, it had been Lily who stayed by his side.
Elsa claimed her family had forced her to break up with John four years ago, even sent her overseas against her
will-but who really knew the truth?
“Boss, maybe you should call Ms. Lily?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWayne, always concerned about his boss’s happiness, mustered the courage to suggest, “She’s been humiliated
like this... she probably really needs you right now.”
“Mm.”
Worried about Lily, John naturally reached for his phone.
But after dialing multiple times, all he got was a busy signal.
It was obvious-she had blocked him.
His eyes turned icy cold, inch by inch. But thinking about what she’d endured today, he decided to go to her
hotel and speak to her in person.

Just as he took a step forward, a news alert popped up on his phone.
-Elsa knowingly beca mistress, shamelessly stealing the bride's wedding dress.”
John froze and tapped on the article, only to realize the entire narrative online had flipped.
Lily had uploaded the video of him saying she was his girlfriend, along with several screenshots of their chats.
Now the intewas overflowing with sympathy for her-and scorn for Elsa, calling her the
mistress.
John knew Lily must've been hurting from the online abuse.
But he didn’t approve of what she'd done.
Posting the video and screenshots would now subject Elsa to relentless public shame.
And Elsa wasn't just battling cancer-she also had severe depression. He feared that if she saw all this, she
wouldn't be able to handle it.
As that fear crossed his mind, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing Wendy's non the screen, he quickly answered, “Madam Wendy-"
“John, everyone's attacking Elsa online... After seeing those posts, her depression cback. She-she tried to
kill herself. Slit her wrists.”
“She's in the ER right now... I'm terrified she’ll never wake up again... sob...”
“What?!”
Hearing that Elsa had attempted suicide, John instantly forgot about going to Lily. Without hesitation, he turned
and bolted toward the stairs-
Lily had spiked another fever-forty degrees.
She'd ordered sfever medication online, and the delivery guy had just called to say he'd left the bag outside
her hotel room.
He was already gone.
Still in her pajamas, Lily opened the door and picked up the delivery.
She was burning up, her head in a haze, and didn’t even notice Simon standing right outside.
She had just stepped back into her room when Simon stormed in like a whirlwind, slamming the door behind him
with a bang!

“Cwithto the hospital. Apologize to Elsa.”
Simon didn’t budge an inch.
He stepped forward and seized Lily’s wrist without warning.
She struggled to break free, but his grip was like iron.
It felt like he was trying to crush her bones-she couldn't shake him off no matter how hard she tried.
“What the hell is wrong with you?!”
Lily shouted and stomped on his foot. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should | apologize to Elsa?”
“I'm telling you one more time-get out!”
“If you don’t, I'm calling the police!”
She turned sharply, reaching for her phone on the nightstand.
But she was standing too far away-her fingertips couldn't reach it.
After hearing that Elsa had tried to kill herself, Simon had been overwhelmed by guilt and rage.
