The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 269 You Call That an Apology

Chapter 269 You Call That an Apology

She had a strong hunch that the masterminds behind tonight's setup were likely Wendy and Elea. The mother-

daughter pair had always been meticulous; even if the maid had reported back that Lily had taken the bait,

Wendy and Elsa would still want to check for themselves, just to be absolutely sure. And that was the moment

Lily had been waiting for.

She'd guessed right. Before long, Wendy had quietly pushed open the lounge door.

There was a potted plant inside the room. Lily had considered knocking Wendy out with it, but worried it would

leave too much of a trace. So she decided to wait until Wendy stepped fully into the room and, like in the movies,

struck her in the back of the neck with all her strength.

Her first blow didn’t knock Wendy out.

Wendy sensed something was wrong and started to turn around to see who had ambushed her, but then James

walked in and knocked her out cold with a precise chop to the neck.

James had someone bring Lily a clean evening gown.

After dragging Wendy onto the bed, Lily used her fingerprint to unlock her phone and sent Elsa a simple “OK”

text. Then she left the lounge and crossed the hall to change her clothes.

If Wendy hadn’t meant to harm anyone, even if James had knocked her out, she could've made it through the

night unscathed.

But if she had cwith bad intentions...

Then whatever happened next, she brought it on herself.

“Wendy? How could it be you?”

Wendy always complimented her looks, and Yyonne had liked her quite a bit.

She'd also heard from a few maids that the woman in the room was Lily. It was hard to believe-the one seducing

a married man turned out to be Wendy, the very woman she’d always seen as graceful and elegant.

“Wendy, are you okay?” Mathilda, being close to Elsa, had to show concern too.

“You don’t look so good. Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Reese's tastes were well-known. Wendy felt horrible all over. But right now, how could | even show her face at a

hospital?

Tonight, she hadn't just lost her dignity-she’d lost everything.

She didn’t even want to imagine/how all the people who once flattered and admired her would now laugh at her

behind her back.

She also realized that the one who ambushed her in the lounge was, most likely, Lily.

Thinking about how all her careful planning had not only failed to ruin Lily but had completely backfired,

she was livid.

Lily did this to me. She has to pay. She suddenly jerked her head up, ber gaze sharp as blades as the glared of

Lily

“Lily, why would you do this to me? | know you're jealous of Elsa. You're always targeting her and you had

our and send a man to rutinme by association. But even if you hate me, how could you knock me

“What? Lily did this to you?” Yvonne turned on Lily in fury, as if ready to tear her to pieces.

Hearing their voices, the crowd turned in unison to look at Lily.

Lily remained completely calm.

Wendy and Elsa had tried to ruin her. To avoid being caught red-handed, they'd had the maids destroy the

surveillance footage in the lounge ahead of time.

But that worked in Lily's favor too. With no cameras in the hallway, Wendy had no proof Lily had touched her.

Without evidence, what was there to fear?

“Lily, you knocked Wendy out just to humiliate her like this? How could you be so vicious?”

Lily was about to retort-call Wendy a rabid dog biting at random-when John’s voice cut in, full of rage.

The sleazy man hadn't touched Lily; John had felt relieved about that.

But he still couldn't accept that Lily had done something so cruel to Elsa’s mother.

“Lily, how could you humiliate Wendy like this? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Simon demanded, his face

dark.

“You idiot! Are you stupid or what? Shut the heck up!”

Mary could see the truth clearly; Wendy had brought this on herself.

Seeing her dumb son rushing to defend Wendy without even figuring out what was going on made her furious.

She gave him a disgusted kick, then

snapped, “Lily is your SELES

“What did you just say?”

Simon's dark eyes filled with disbelief.

He had always respected Wendy and didn’t want to believe she would ever team up with ssleazy old man to

destroy Lily’s reputation.

But at the stime, no one he respected more than James. To him, James‘ word was law.

For a moment, he didn’t even know how to respond.
