Chapter 76 The BlThey Refuse to Bear
“Mm. | look forward to your money.”
After a pause, James added, “Make sure you eat.”
Make sure you eat...
Lily laughed out loud.
Classic James. Still the sold-fashioned grandpa personality.

When they first met, he had only been twenty-two, but even back then, he sent her that exact smessage
every single day.
So rigid. So serious. Sometimes she wondered if he was actually two hundred years old instead of twenty-
two.
Holding back her laugh, she typed her reply just as straight-faced: “I'm going to get breakfast now. You eat well
too.”
“Mm.”
To meet someone who truly understands you-what a rare and joyful thing.
After changing clothes and freshening up, Lily couldn’t help but smile again, thinking of James's serious tone
when he told her to eat. She giggled like a fool.
Just as she was clutching her phone and laughing like the village idiot on the edge of the bed, James stepped out
of the study and caught her mid-chuckle.
It was obvious she was having a great tchatting with whoever was on the other end.
He hoped it was a man.
Ideally, she'd fall in love with someone during these six months. That way, when the divorce came, there'd be no
complications.
Not wanting to interrupt her blossoming love life, he turned away and headed to the bathroom to wash
up.

Lily felt a little awkward getting caught laughing like that.
But when she saw that he didn’t even glance at her-treated her like air-she relaxed.
Respecting each other's privacy, minding their own business, treating each other like air... honestly, not a bad
setup.
Six months wouldn’t be hard to get through.
A servant knocked on the door and said Grace had asked Lily to cdown for breakfast.
It was her first teating with the elders of the Luke family. There was no way she could be late.

She got up quickly and went downstairs.
“Lily! You shameless girl!”
She had barely stepped into the living room when a hard slap landed across her face.

It wasn’t until then that Lily realized Luna, her adoptive mother, was here-and so were Bodger and Mathilda.
The one who had slapped her was Luna.
Her eyes were filled with disgust and contempt. “You've already stolen Mathilda’s life. Now you want to steal her
husband too? I'm saying this right here, right now-James is awake. You have to give him back to Mathilda!”
Bodger looked at her with the srevulsion. “Lily, | want you to divorce James today. You owe Mathilda that
much!”
Mathilda, of course, stood there with tear-filled eyes, looking like the most pitiful victim in the world.
Lily finally understood.
The Ginger family must've heard that James had woken up, and now they were regretting forcing her into the
marriage in Mathilda’s place. They wanted to take it all back.
She found it hilarious.
She touched her burning cheek and couldn't stop herself from snapping back, “You're the ones who forcedto
take her place. How does that makea husband-stealer?”
“I owe Mathilda? What exactly do | owe her? Was | the one who got her lost sixteen years ago? Was | the one
who forced the Ginger family to adopt me?*/

Bodger’s temples pulsed with fury.
His voice turned sharp as a blade.
“While you were being pampered by
the Ginger family, Mathilda asgeing

“Bodger..."”
As always, Mathilda clung to Bodger’s arm, crying so hard she hiccuped, like she was the most wounded soul in
the world.
Lily could barely stand the sight of her.
But the Ginger family? They ate that act up like candy.

The moment she cried, they'd scramble to hand her the world-and they’d gladly grind Lily’s bones into dust for
her.
“I know I'm just a country girl... Ill never be as good as Lily,” Mathilda sobbed. “But I really want to marry James.
Bodger... do you think I'm not good enough for him?”
“Of course not!”
Bodger looked at her like she was
made of glass. “You're the peg) girl in

His eyes were full of love and tenderness as he looked at Mathilda.
But when he turned back to Lily, there was nothing but hatred-as if she were no longer the little sister he once
vowed to protect, but his worst enemy.
