Chapter 264 Elsa Tries Sympathy
The banquet hall took up a huge footprint, and the second-floor hallway was wide and spacious. But with so
many people charging up at once, it still felt crowded.
When they were downstairs in the banquet hall, John had been desperate to see Lily, desperate to ask her how
she could betray him, how she could hurt him like that.
Blood runs deep. And when he finally stood outside the lounge door, ajar and just inches from him, he realized
he didn’t have the courage to push it open.
He couldn't bear to see Lily tangled up with another man, so shameless and wild.
Simon didn’t have the courage either.
A few days ago, James had told him Lily didn’t want to continue their arranged dates.

filthy outsider.

But what would happen if he barged in and threw that door open?
Lily’s shame, her vulnerable, devastated state-it would all be laid bare in front of everyone. She wouldn't survive

Seeing the crowd in the hallway surging forward, necks craning to get a look at the spectacle, Ivan’s temples
throbbed with rage.
He wanted to gouge out every pair of eyes in that hallway-keep them from gawking at his sister-in-law’s pain.
But while people feared the Luke family, Ivan didn’t have the scommanding presence as his older brother.
His warning made a few people flinch, but the crowd still shoved forward, relying on strength numbers.
“Madam Mary, are you alright?”
Elsa noticed that Mary's radiant face had gone completely pale, her body swaying as if she might collapse. She
stepped in with a faux-concerned gesture, catching Mary’s arm and adding fuel to the fire, her tone delicate and
laced with judgment.
“I really didn’t expect Lily to be so tactless to do something like this, on your birthday of all days. She really
shouldn't have. But as a fellow woman, | can’t help but feel sorry for her too. She'll be talked about, mocked,
judged, it’s all such a waste. Madam Mary, what was she thinking?”

Elsa said all this to plant a seed-to make Mary believe Lily wasn’t just shameless, but had embarrasse her,
ruined her birthday celebration.
She wanted Mary to turn against Lily, to despise her completely.
In her mind, with Mary's status and pride, there was no way she’d tolerate such a scandal at her own event. She
had to hate Lily now,
Too bad Elsa had never truly understood Mary.
Her sly little act didn’t make Mary hate Lily-it just made her hate her even
more.

emotionally. She ferthe the
