NovelBookChapter 462 Shattered Illusions
Almost as soon as the thought crossed Taylor's mind, Ashton stepped forward at James's signal, a tablet in his
hands.
His eyes glinted with icy mockery as he thrust it toward Bodger and Mergan.
“Open those dog eyes of yours and take a good look. See for yourselves—was it Lily who bullied Mathilda, or has
this parasite been lying to you all along, treating you like fools?”
“Ashton!”
Bodger and Mergan roared in unison.
In the past, Ashton had at least spoken to them with srespect.
Neither of them had expected him to insult them so openly, to call their eyes “dog eyes,” or to call Mathilda a
parasite.
They were about to explode when their gaze caught on the video playing across the tablet screen.

In the recording, Lily lay beaten and helpless, dragged to a reeking, secluded ditch.
Mathilda loomed above her, lips curled in a cruel sneer, her expensive designer heels stepping closer and closer.
“Mom and Dad are mine. My brothers are mine. Dare to steal my family... Today I'll make you, you stupid mutt,
understand what it means to humiliate yourself, what it means to suffer for your own sins!”
She lifted her foot and ground the mud-stained heel into Lily's face.
“Stupid mutt, doesn't it feel good?”
As she stomped, she poured sfoul substance over Lily’s face, laughing as the girl writhed in agony.
“Stupid mutt, this is only the beginning! You'll learn what happens when you try to take what's mine!”

“Right, it must be that Lily did something unforgivable first. Mathilda’s friends must have stepped in, forced her
to retaliate. Mathilda would never bully Lily...”

At first, Bodger and Mergan clung to their disbelief.

Because Mathilda was their sister, the one they felt guilty toward, the one they trusted without question.
Because she had told them that the earlier video online- of her bullying Lily-was misleading, that her friends had
forced her hand after Lily supposedly mistreated her.
If Ashton had shown them only a single clip, they might still have believed her excuse.
But Ashton laid out nearly a hundred videos before them.
In the ditch, in hidden corners, in school bathrooms, in deserted woods—
Over and over, Mathilda, Quincy, and others tortured and humiliated Lily with vicious cruelty.”
Their last scraps of denial crumbled to dust.
The foundation of their beliefs collapsed in an instant.
They could no longer deny that the sister they thought was pure, kind, innocent, and fragile was, in truth, a
monster.

And Lily-the one they had condemned-had been her victim countless times.
Taylor had already begun to suspect Mathilda’s lies, but even so, he hadn’t imagined the sheer scale of her
cruelty.
Nor had he dreamed her methods could be so depraved, so inhuman.
“Taylor, I'm fine. It’s just a little nosebleed. Wipe it off and it's gone.”
Her voice, her face, surfaced in his mind.
He couldn’t stop the memory of Lily as a child, shoved down by mischievous classmates, her nose bleeding.
Back then, he had been furious, storming into her classroom to beat the bully bloody.,
He had cradled his foster sister afterward, soothing her with promises.
“I'll always protect you. I'll never let anyone hurt you. If anyone dares lay a hand on you again, I'll make them
suffer so badly they'll regret being born.”
“You're the best, Taylor! Ill always love you most!”
