Chapter 425 Shattered Illusions
Marilyn had been just about to slip her arms around his neck, lips curved in a seductive smile, when the was
suddenly flung to the floor without mercy.
She hadn’t even recovered from the shock and humiliation when the sound of painful retching cut through the
air.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Was Mr. James.... gagging because of her?
No-impossible. It had to be because of that disgusting woman, Lily. Yes, that had to be it. He had thrown her
aside because Lily's sudden appearance had put him in a foul mood, and she had simply been caught in the
crossfire.
Gritting her teeth, she pushed herself up, determined to try again. But before she could get near him, James
snatched up the teacup from his desk and slammed it to the floor right by her feet.
“Get out!”
“Mr. James-"
“Boss!”
Ashton strode in, taking in the sight of Marilyn sprawled on the floor in her revealing red dress. He didn’t need to
guess twice to know what she had tried.
Seeing his boss’s expression darken and the air around him turn sharp with danger, Ashton yanked Marilyn up by
the arm. “Are you out of your mind? Get out of here!”
This time, Marilyn was truly frightened. No matter how unwilling she was, she didn’t dare stay another second.
She scrambled up and fled.
Ashton let out a heavy sigh.
Henry had once warned him not to hire male secretaries, worried about flirtations from “fox spirits” outside. So
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis round, Ashton had only hired women.
He hadn't expected that the female secretaries could be just as much trouble.
“Boss...”
Marilyn had been his hire, and now that she'd dared make a move on their leader, Ashton felt a cold knot of
guilt.
“Out!”
James had no interest in listening to him. After dismissing him with an icy command, he picked up the sheet of
paper on his desk-the abortion record.
Lily had already told him she’d gotten rid of the baby.

Even so, he'd clung to a tiny, desperate hope.
He had wished she might change her mind and keep the child. Hoped he had misheard her. Even wished
absurdly, that his ears were failing him.
But the words printed clearly on the paper left no room for hope. She had indeed undergone the procedure.
“Boss...”
Ashton hadn’t left immediately. Seeing James holding a sheet of paper, his face drained of color, he couldn't hide
his worry. “Are you feeling unwell? What is that in your hand-"
“I'm fine.”
James wasn’t about to tell him the truth. If Henry learned about the abortion, they might not be able to take it.
He kept his tone flat. “Have someone watch over Lily in secret. Report toabout anything that happens.”
“Lily1”
After crouching in silence for a while, letting her tears fall, Lily finally stood and began to walk toward the gates
of the villa community like a sleepwalker.
She had barely stepped outside when a hand clamped around her wrist.
Hearing John’s voice, her face tightened with alarm. Instinctively, she tried to wrench herself free.
“John, what are you doing? Letgo!”
She struggled several times without breaking his grip.
Her eyes darted around, searching for a nearby security guard to call to.
But John was too fast.
Before she could shout for help, he had snatched her phone away, tossed it aside, and shoved her into his
car.
“What are you doing? You have no right to treatlike this! | want to get out!”
