Chapter 524 The Choice
Victor's brows knit so tightly they could have crushed a fly.
Watching James and Lily stand side by side, hand in hand with such deep affection, he couldn’t help but feel
envy.
He too had once imagined that if the day cwhen he met the right girl, he would hold her hand with the
sresolve, shielding her, cherishing her, never betraying her, loving her until death.
But Marilyn's words just now had been too vile. He couldn't bear them. He certainly couldn't protect her.
Lifting his gaze to her, his eyes were cold as ice, his refined features set in aloof rejection.
“Before the truth has even been uncovered, you leap around spreading filth, slandering Lily. Mom's slap was
exactly what you deserved. From now on, you will show her respect. If you dare stir up discord in this family
again like spetty clown, | will reconsider marrying you.”
What?
Marilyn nearly popped her eyes out of her head.

He was going back on his word-did he not want to marry her anymore?
Did he want to marry Adeline instead, that shameless little slut?
He was hers. She would never allow Adeline to steal him away.
Her teeth ground audibly in hatred.
But fear of losing him smothered her rage. She forced herself to stay silent, stepping aside obediently, though
her heart seethed.
So what if the Luke family still defended Lily for now? Once the whole world turned on her, they would cast her

“Mr. James is on stage!”
Gasps erupted when James appeared.
“If Lily cheated on him, he must be going up to hit her!”
“Of course! What man could stand such humiliation? If | were him, I'd break that whore’s legs so she could never
stray again!“.
The crowd buzzed with speculation, convinced James was about to mete out punishment.
Instead, he walked straight to Lily's side.
With undeniable affection and solemnity, he clasped her hand tightly.

Lily, I'm here.”
Lily had known he loved her, had known he trusted her. She believed he would never abandon her in the face of
slander.
But feeling his grip, hearing his deep, steady voice that wrapped her in security, her eyes still burned hot with
unshed tears.
She squeezed his hand hard. “The woman in the video isn't me.”
“I know.”
James's gaze cut to the frozen image on the background screen, cold and sharp. “Leave this matter to me.
“Lily, how could you? Just to spite me, you bedded that disgusting old man?”
John’s furious voice tore through the air, almost before James's words had faded. He had cto the recording
too.
“You mean to tellthe child in your belly is his? How could you fall so low?”
A moment ago, warmth had surged through Lily at James's side. But at John’s voice, her face froze over like ice.
Every the appeared, it was a brutal reminder of how blind she had once been-how she had wasted her
devotion on him.
And every time, it made her love James even more.
She was even grateful that Elsa had cback pretending to be ill.
If not, she might still be shackled by her own foolishness, pouring her heart into that rotten cucumber John.
“John, shut your mouth!”
James's tenderness vanished, replaced by lethal cold. His eyes burnéd with a killing intent that chilled the air.
“Lily would never do such a thing!”
“Ha!”
John let out a harsh laugh.
“There's a video of her with another
man, and you still 59 che colidnit?
James Yor only lying to yourself!”
He no longer looked at James. His eyes lifted to Lily instead
At first, they were ablaze with fury, as if he wanted to drag her, the so-called whore, into hell with him.
But then, slowly, the fire dimmed. The killing edge faded, replaced by helplessness and bitter self- mockery.
