“I had Ashton send something to your phone. | suggest you look at it first.”
James's tone was flat, sharp as steel. “If you don’t believe it, you can find another doctor and have Elsa
examined again.”
Simon’s mind spun in confusion, but he still unlocked his phone and opened WhatsApp. As he scrolled through
the files Ashton had sent him, his frown deepened, his eyes widening with every second.
The evidence was damning.
There were bank transfer records showing Elsa paying her attending physician. A video of her instructing the
doctor to falsely diagnose her with late-stage stomach cancer. Screenshots of her purchasing medicine that
would induce vomiting blood, along with capsules filled with stored blood to enhance the illusion,
Piece by piece, the truth laid itself bare: Elsa had never been terminally ill. Her so-called sickness had been a
performance all along,

him. Words like “shattered worldview” or “devastated” weren't enough to describe the storm inside him.
The moment he opened the videos, Zoey and the others had heard Elsa’s voice conversing with the doctor as

growing deeper.
Really—if this fool had even a tenth of James's clarity and intelligence, he never would have been so easily
fooled by a manipulative white lotus.
“How... how could this be?”
Simon's voice was hollow, his face bloodless. He had wanted Lizzy-the Lizzy who once gave him warmth in their
childhood-to live a long, blessed life. Because she told him she was dying, because he saw her vomit blood again
and again, he had believed her twas short. Out of pity, he had done countless foolish things for her, crossed
his own principles, all in her name.
Now, with the truth laid bare, there was no relief in finding she wasn’t sick-only crushing betrayal, humiliation,
and despair.
Like a film in slow motion, he raised his head, the numbness and grief in his eyes settling on Elsa.

“Lizzy... you don’t have late-stage stomach cancer. You have plenty of time. Why? Why lie to me? Say it! Why
deceive me? Was it fun, watchingdance in circles for you? Watchinghumiliate myself, breaking my
principles, just to make you smile? Did it make you feel proud? Accomplished? Say it!”
Elsa’s face drained of color, like flour dusted across a palette. She had been so sure her ruse was flawless, and
yet James had still unearthed the truth.
James was terrifying. If it weren't for Lily—if it weren't for that shameless woman seducing him-he should have
been Elsa’s ally, her protector.
It was all Lily's fault!
But she couldn't let that hatred slip now. If she spat her venom at Lily, Simon would only despise her more.
Her body trembling, she lowered her proud head and whispered pitifully, “Simon, I didn’t mean to. | loved John
too much, | couldn't let go, and when he broke his promise, when he stopped loving me, | panicked. | thought if
he believed | was dying, he'd cback. | didn’t want to trick you... | don’t even like John anymore. | only want
you, Simon. Haven't you forgotten the times

But Simon, though his heart ached for her, had always recoiled from physical closeness with Elsa.
