“I've said it before-1 don’t have a fake, disgusting cousin like you, so stop clinging to family ties that don’t exist.”
James gave Elsa no courtesy whatsoever. After a brief pause, he added, “You threw yourself off the stage just to
frLily. You're in pain? Didn't you bring that on yourself?”
“James!”
“James!”
Hearing how cold and harsh his words were toward Elsa, both John and Simon-who had always treated her like a
precious gem-instantly turned grim.
John clutched Elsa even tighter, barking at James, “Apologize to Elsa!”
Simon's voice was full of fury.
“James, you really crossed a line. Lizzy cared so much about her baby-how could she possibly use that baby’s life
just to frLily? It was Lily who ruined her! Lily did something not even animals would do; she deserves to feel
every ounce of the pain Lizzy went through! You shouldn't be protecting her; you should've thrown her off the
stage, cracked her skull, and made her kneel to apologize to Lizzy!”
“Nonsense!”
Dennis was so angry, he could hardly catch his breath.
Mary stepped forward and, without hesitation, slapped her own son across the face. “Just because Elsa says it, it
must be true? Simon, are you stupid?”
Simon was completely stunned by the slap from his own mother.
He couldn't believe it, his lifesaver had been so terribly wronged, and not only was his mom not standing up for

“Mom... you hit me?”
Simon stood frozen in place for a long moment before finally speaking, his voice thick with disbelief and hurt.
“Lily hurt Lizzy this badly. Because of her, Lizzy can never be a mother again. Her cruelty might even speed up
Lizzy’s death. Doesn't she owe Lizzy an apology?”
“Shut your mouth!”
Mary slapped him again. “You've got no critical thinking; you're being played like a fool. Why shouldn't I slap
you?”

Chapter 343 You're Not That Innocent
“Mom!”
Simon hadn't expected another slap-and worse, Mary’s words were clearly insulting Elsa. His voice rose several
pitches, laced with open anger.
“What the heck did Lily do to brainwash all of you? Can't you see how badly she hurt Lizzy? You-
“Idiot. Shut up.”
Jamie was so furious, he kicked Simon. “If you raise your voice at Mom again-still blind, still spouting nonsense-
believe me, I'll break your legs.”
Simon wanted to say he hadn't actually yelled at Mary. He just felt she was being unfair and unreasonable -he’d
hoped she could look at the situation objectively.
But seeing the scowls from his grandpa and dad-the way both of them looked ready to beat himn senseless -he
chose to stay quiet for now.

Her heart filled with bitterness and grievance. Her lashes trembled, and tears, cold and proud, spilled from her
eyes.
She didn't want Jamie and Mary to
keep being blinded by Lily. After a

“Elsa, you've been targeting Lily from the very beginning-you were always trying to take what was hers.”
Mary had once appreciated that Elsa had been there for her foolish son during his darkest hours. If Elsa had
behaved herself, Mary would never have spoken harshly to her.
But since Wendy and Elsa returned to the country, the things they'd done had repeatedly trampled Mary's values
and crossed her bottom line.
Lily, on the other hand, was one of their own. And Mary-who had never tolerated injustice-had truly reached her
limit.
