Afraid John might turn on him too, Kendrick shuddered hard and quickly pulled his hand back.

But John had already noticed exactly where that hand had gone. Now it was too late to take it back.
“John...”
Kendrick’s heart raced with panic as John’s bloodshot gaze locked on his hand, unblinking.
He was just about to play the sympathy card when John raised his leg and viciously kicked Kendrick’s right hand
without hesitation.
The pain twisted Kendrick’s face instantly; before he could even begin to recover, John’s iron fists- radiating
lethal fury-pounded into his face, blow after brutal blow.
“How dare you touch her? Kendrick, you really deserve to die!”
Just picturing Kendrick’s fingertips brushing against the skin near Lily’s collarbone made John want to tear him
apart piece by piece.
“John, | swear, | didn’t mean it. | thought you didn’t want Lily anymore...”
Kendrick wasn’t weak in a fight, but compared to John, he didn’t stand a chance.
He couldn’t even fight back-just curled into himself, gripping his head to brace against the pain.
After a couple more punishing blows, John finally kicked him aside, his face still like ice. He turned sharply, his
piercing gaze now locking onto Calvin.
“John, | know | was wrong! | swear I'll never think about Lily that way again, I—"
John’s foot landed squarely in Calvin’s most vulnerable spot. The moment he remembered Calvin saying he could
go at least eight rounds in one night if Lily wasn’t wearing anything, John wanted to cripple him on the spot.
Calvin's legs shook violently. He clutched himself, too stunned and in too much pain to form words.
It hurt so bad. He truly thought he might be ruined forever.
Before he could recover, John landed another savage kick. “Get out!”

“Lily is my girlfriend, my future wife. Anyone who dares touch my wife is my enemy.”
Wife... Calvin and the others shuddered again.
They'd always assumed John treasured Elsa the most-that she was the one he truly wanted to marry.
It had never occurred to them that Lily was the woman he most wanted to spend his life with. Regret hit them
hard; they knew they'd crossed a line. The moment John told them to get out, they took it like a pardon from
death-scrambling, crawling, fleeing the room like rats.
Now free, Lily finally managed-after several tries—to grab a bottle from the nearby table.

Ever since she was little, she hated being wronged, hated being pushed around. If she got the chance, she
always fought back.
Kendrick, who'd dragged her into the room, was the slowest to flee.
Lily took a deep breath, staggered forward, and with every ounce of strength she had left, brought the bottle
crashing down on his head.
“Lily1”
The blow landed hard-blood seeped from Kendrick’s scalp instantly.
Furious at the humiliation, Kendrick’s rage nearly exploded. But his company still depended on Jones Corp’s
support.
And tonight, it was clear-John was protecting Lily. No matter how much he hated her in that moment, he didn’t
dare retaliate.
All he could do was clutch his head and stumble out of the room.
“Lily...”
Yes, tonight, John had saved me. But Lily had saved him more than once before. In her eyes, they were even
now-she had no intention of staying tangled up in this mess any longer.
She grabbed her phone from the table and turned to leave-only for John to suddenly pull her into a crushing
embrace.
“Let go!”
Lily despised the kind of messy, half-hearted entanglements that dragged on after a breakup. She pushed
against him with everything she had.
But she wasn’t his match in strength; not tonight-not after drinking so much she could barely stay upright.
His arms only tightened around her, like iron bars locking her into a prison she couldn't escape.
“John, are you deaf? | said letgo!”
Feeling his grip only get stronger, Lily grew frantic. She stomped hard on his foot.
“You may have savedtonight, but
I'm not grateful. If you hadn't stood
by Elsa in front of Kendnjckahd the

“You chose Elsa; you have no right to cling to me. Stop messing with my life. Letgo!”
“I never chose Lizzy.”
John still made no move to release her.
His arms held her tighter, like he could fuse her to him and never let her go.
