His gaze lowered slightly as he spoke with solemn determination. “Lily, I'm canceling the divorce. Let's stay
together.”
Stay together..
Lily was stunned by what James just said.
In the next second, a wave of bitterness swept through her chest.
She really liked him.
If he didn’t hate her so much, she would've wanted to be with him.
To men, nothing matters more than their pride.
What man-especially one as proud as James-would ever want people thinking he wasn’t a real man?
But just to keep her from clinging to him, James had told her multiple times that he had serious health problems.
He must have despised her so much that he, a man with such rigid values, would lie about something like that
just to keep her at arm’s length.
She couldn’t shamelessly use what happened last night to trap him for life.
The bitterness blooming in her chest crept into her eyes. Her eyes stung so badly she almost teared up. She took
a deep breath and stared at the ceiling, forcing the tears back.
She forced a smile that looked worse than crying and tried to sound cheerful. “Jarnes, | know like me-probably
even hate me. You're only saying we should stay together because you feel like you need to take responsibility.
But you really don’t have to. What happened last night, it was just something you did out of desperation,

be there.”
James frowned.
If anyone else had been there last night, he never would've lost control.
And if it were a man who wasn't Leila, there was no way he would've touched them.
He couldn’t even handle seeing two men hold hands in a movie. How could he possibly be with a man?
The reason he fell so hard for Leila wasn’t because he liked men-it was just that the person he liked

He was still deep in thought when he heard Lily speaking again, trying to keep her voice light. “And don’t forget-I
have someone | love. We've already agreed to get our marriage license next month. | can’t just go back on that
now. James, what happened last night, | won't take it to heart. And | hope you won't either.”
James's frown deepened
Of course he knew she had a long-tclassmate she loved, and they were getting married soon.
But for sreason, hearing her talk about her lover at a tlike this made his chest ache like he was
sick.
Still, he knew how much she cared about that man. If her heart was set, he couldn't force her to accept
responsibility from him.
All he could do was give her the best compensation he could.
“Lily. | own twenty-eight percent of Luke Corp's shares. I'll have my lawyer draw up a transfer agreement. I'll
transfer fourteen percent to your name.”
She had someone she loved.
She was supposed to marry him next month.
She probably wanted to save herself for that man.
But last night, he...
The more James thought about it, the more disgusted he felt with himself. Even giving her those shares didn’t
feel like enough.
After a moment of silence, he added, “I'm also the biggest shareholder of the short video platform you use
often.
“I'll transfer half of those shares to you too. Before | took over Luke Corp, | started my own companies and
invested in multiple industries. All of them were highly successful. I've never really organized my portfolio, but
I'll have Ashton do it as soon as possible. I'll transfer half of industry and company to you.”

Lily was completely stunned.
She couldn't believe James wanted to compensate her with fourteen percent of Luke Corp’s shares.
In recent years, Luke Corp had been bringing in over a hundred billion in annual profit.
Fourteen percent of Luke Corp...
That would give her billions in dividends every year.
