The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 40 Apologize or Say Goodbye to Your Allowance

Lily replied, “Yvonne; you clearly framed me, what gives you the right to act like the victim? You rabid dogs really

do love biting people at random, huh?”

Ivan nearly choked from laughing at that.

He couldn’t help chiming in, “Ignoring your symptoms isn’t going to cure anything. If you've got rabies, better go

get your shots! Or yank out those dog teeth before you bite anyone else!”

“You wench!”

The moment Lily called her a rabid dog-and Ivan actually laughed at her-Yvonne lost it.

She didn’t dare lash out at Ivan, so all her fury landed squarely on Lily.

She raised her hand and swung hard at Lily's face. “You tried to ruin me! | won't let you off!”

But Lily wasn’t about to stand there and take it.

Back when she loved John with her whole heart, she'd tolerated Yvonne's tantrums just because of that love.

But now, Yvonne was nothing.

She lifted a hand to catch Yvonne's wrist and planned to slap her right back.

But John moved faster.

He caught Yvonne's wrist mid-air, his voice sharp as a blade. “Enough! Yvonne, you did try to frLily.

Apologize to her!”

“Ugh...”

Not only had she failed to land a hit, now she was being forced to apologize-Yvonne was so humiliated she burst

into tears.

She had always had a secret crush on Simon; there was no way she could stand being embarrassed like this in

front of him.

She tried to cry her way out and run, but John’s grip was like a steel clamp-she couldn't escape.

And then chis voice again, colder than ice, “If you don’t, don’t expect another cent of your allowance.”

Yvonne's tears fell harder, fat and fast, burning with shame.

She hated bowing her head to someone she saw as beneath her. But she was used to blowing through money

like water, she couldn't handle going broke.

Gritting her teeth, she finally muttered, “Lily, I'm sorry.”

“Sorry for what? | can’t hear you.”

Lily knew that even if she said nothing, Yvonne, the parasite she was, would never stop coming after her. So why

let this slide like it was nothing?

Hearing that, Yvonne trembled with rage and cried harder.

But for the sake of her allowance, she still shouted through sobs, “I'm sorry! | shouldn't have framed you! | was

wrong!”

“Yvonne, don't cry.”

Elsa knew how to play the part of the gentle, kind soul. After softly comforting Yvonne, she turned to John. “John,

don’t be too hard on Yvonne,. She's just immature-not malicious.”

Ivan hadn't planned on coming to Elsa.

But hearing that sickly sweet act, he couldn't help but turn to her. “Elsa, Yvonne pulled a stunt that low, and you

still want to claim she doesn’t have a bad heart? And you-what’s your deal? Is it your eyes or your mouth that’s

broken? You were right there. You saw everything. So when Yvonne dragged Lily through the mud, you just stood

there looking all sad and helpless, playing the victim while egging her on? Con. Let's be real. You and

Yvonne were in it together. Don’t you think you owe Lily an apology too? For always pretending you're some

innocent saint while throwing her under the bus? Elsa. Apologize.”

The blood drained from Elsa’s face.

Five years ago, she had accidentally learned that Simon had been searching for a girl named Lizzy.

He had given that girl a finely crafted marble pendant, with the initial of his nengraved on the inside.

Back in college, she and Lily had both been part of the club.

During one performance, they'd been changing clothes together, and she’d noticed Lily wearing that exact

pendant.

Because no accessories were allowed onstage, Lily had left it in the dressing room. Elsa had snuck over to check

it and confirmed the initial was Simon's.

That day, only she and Lily had changed in that room. She hadn't been stupid enough to steal it right then.

But later, when the twas right, she’d quietly taken the pendant-and used it to reconnect with Simon.

She lifted her chin, eyes cool and laced with pain, as if she refused to be tainted by the filth of the world.

Seeing her like that, both John and Simon's expressions darkened.

“Ivan, are you insane? How could you say that to Lizzy?

“Ivan, apologize to her!”

But Ivan wasn’t fazed at all by their pressure. He still wore that lazy, mocking grin.
