Chapter 316 A Slap in the Face
Still, after everything she went through today, there was no way she was going to drop the act—no matter who
showed up.
“I really care about Lily. | truly see her as family. Why won't she stop coming after me?” Mathilda’s tearful voice
finally pulled the three Ginger brothers out of their thoughts.
None of them liked how much Lily trusted and relied on James.
To them, they were Lily's real family-the ones she should've counted on.
And they hated the way Lily always seemed to hurt Mathilda. Even if they didn’t want to go head-to-head with
James, they were still determined to stand up for Mathilda and make things right.
“James, back off!” Bodger stepped forward, his voice sharp. “Lily’s mean and ungrateful. She went after Mathilda
on purpose. She's not getting away with it.”
“Lily is my wife,” James said coolly, not budging an inch.
He stood there like a wall-unyielding, calm, almost like a guardian angel. “She didn’t attack Mathilda, and I'm not
about to let you smear her name. Even if she had hurt suseless, backstabbing brat, none of you have the
right to say a damn thing to her.”
“Who the h*Il are you calling a brat?”
James had just called Mathilda a brat, and that sent the Ginger brothers over the edge.
“James, are you looking to get yourself killed?”
Bang!
James threw a hard punch straight into Bodger’s face, then gently turned to Lily, “Did you record a video? If you
did, I'll have someone send it over. If not, that’s fine too. Whoever makes the claim has to prove it. If Mathilda
can’t show solid evidence that you hurt her, then it’s slander-and the Luke Group's legal team will take it from
there.”

“I recorded it.”
Lily didn’t have her phone with her.
Elsa had already found out she used to carry a hidden camera, so she hadn’t worn it today.
But back during the holidays, James had given her a New Year's gift-an elegant mechanical watch.
At first, she didn’t want to accept it.
But he’d told her the watch had a built-in micro camera, easy to operate. Just one click and it would start
recording-perfect in case someone tried to trap her again.
She had accepted it out of caution, worried Elsa or Mathilda might try something again. She never thought it'd
actually cin handy today.

“My phone's not on me, so I'll need to check my laptop. James, could you call Alvin and ask him to send the
footage?”
“Sure.”
James shot a cool glance at Ashton, who was standing respectfully to the side. Ashton understood instantly and
quickly made the call.
Lily had already told Alvin her computer password, so it didn’t take long for him to pull the footage and send it to
Ashton’s phone.
With the video in hand, Ashton walked forward, his presence cold and sharp. He smiled without warmth as he
turned to the three Ginger brothers. “Take a good look. Let's see if it was Mrs. Luke who attacked someone... or
your sweet, innocent little sister trying to frher.”
He gave a low, mocking laugh and pressed play.
Mathilda’s face went pale.
She'd been so careful. She’d made sure Lily didn’t have her phone. She'd checked for hidden cameras. There
was no way she could've recorded anything.
How the hell did she pull that off?
The auhit first-the loud thud she made when she hurled herself at the rock wall. That was it. Her last shred of
hope shattered into pieces.
She'd endured all that pain, sure it was sure to make Lily lose the baby.
She never imagined it would all be for nothing.
Worse still, once her brothers saw the truth, they’d turn on her. They'd see her as the scheming one. They'd feel
sorry for Lily instead.

There was no one near her. Not even close. There was absolutely no way Lily had touched her.
The brothers’ faces twisted with shame.
Bodger in particular stared at the red marks on Lily’s neck-the ones he’d left there himself. His stomach twisted
with guilt so heavy he could barely stay on his feet.
He never thought Mathilda would go this far. He'd believed her. He'd doubted Lily.
But Lily had been telling the truth. Mathilda had set her up again.
