Wayne hesitated for a long moment, then finally gave in and made the call.

Lily had just reached to put her phone on silent when she saw Wayne's nflash on the screen.

She didn’t mind Wayne. After a pause, she picked up.

The moment the line connected, his voice cthrough-rushed and urgent. “Ms. Lily, I'm so sorry to bother you

this late, but John drank a lot. He has a fever and won't let the doctor treat him. He keeps calling out for his wife-

saying he has to find you. Could I trouble you to cand calm him down, get him to cooperate with

treatment?”

Lily froze slightly.

She couldn't help but recall the last tJohn had gotten this drunk-when Elsa had just returned to the country.

That night, John had cried out, “Wife,” over and over again too.

Her heart had softened. She went back to him.

And what cafter that?

He hurt her again and again-all for Elsa.

She had already made the decision to let go. She wouldn't repeat the smistake.

When she had been chatting with James earlier, she'd fallen into a bit of a trap.

He had said he didn’t want anyone knowing they were married, and she'd instinctively taken that to mean she

couldn't tell anyone she was married either.

But really, as long as she didn’t say her husband was James, there was nothing stopping her from telling people

she was a married woman.

“Ms. Lily, please,” Wayne tried again, his voice practically begging, “I—"

“Wayne.” Lily's tone turned cool and distant, cutting him off. “Today is the day | registered my marriage. I'm

already married. It’s not appropriate forto be interfering in my ex's affairs anymore.”

“...Ms. Lily, what did you just say?”

Wayne was usually calm and composed. But what Lily had just said was so shocking, so unthinkable, that he

couldn't help but blurt out, “You... you said you got married? Did | hear that right?”

“You heard me,” she said calmly. “Tonight is my wedding night with my husband. So please dont callagain.”

To stop any further contact-and to drive the point hto John-she took a photo of her marriage certificate,

carefully covered James's face and personal details with mosaic blur, and sent it to Wayne.

Truth be told, when she'd first said she was married, Wayne had still held out a sliver of hope.

He'd thought maybe it was just out of anger-just words.

Chapter 72 The New Wife

But when he saw the photo...

Even with the man’s identity hidden, there was no denying the document’s authenticity.

It was real.

Ms. Lily had broken up with John-and in the blink of an eye, had married someone else.

She was cutting off every possible path back. Severing all ties.

The phone in Wayne's hand suddenly felt scalding hot.

He had a gut feeling-once John learned Lily was married, he would completely lose it.

The storm was coming.

After Wayne hung up, John still refused to be treated.

It wasn’t until late into the night that he passed out from exhaustion. The doctor was finally able to lower his

fever with physical cooling methods.

Elsa wanted to stay at his side.

But her pride wouldn't allow it.

John had thrown her to the floor-in front of the doctor, Wayne, and the others. She couldn't stay and endure that

humiliation. So, with burning shin her chest, she left.

But in her mind, all of it-the shame, the public embarrassment-it was Lily's fault.

She couldn't stop herself from calling her mother. “Mom, tonight John pusheddown... all because of Lily.”

“As long as Lily's around, John will never be fully mine!”

“What?!”

Wendy gasped in disbelief.

Lately, John had treated Elsa like royalty-utterly devoted, fulfilling her every wish.

Wendy had already considered him her future son-in-law. She never imagined he would perfect daughter for that

disgusting little tramp.

Wendy also regretted that the previous plan had failed. So close, and yet they hadn't ruined Lily’s life.
