NovelBookChapter 78 The Real Fiancée
Grace and Nancy were startled when they saw Lily’s swollen, red face.
“Oh my God, what happened to you? Who hit you?”
Grace rushed over and held Lily’s hand, her gentle face full of worry. “Lily, does it hurt?”
Nancy was just as heartbroken.
She gently touched Lily's check, eyes brimming with tears. “Sweetheart, if someone hits you, why didn’t you
dodge?”
Being comforted and cared for by Grace and Nancy made Lily cry, despite herself.
She wasn’t someone who cried easily.
In all those memories of being hurt and bullied, she'd learned that crying never helped.
Tears couldn't save her-only made her look more pathetic.
But people are strange like that. When you're hit, cursed at, or slandered, you might not cry. But when someone
actually shows they care, your tears betray you
Seeing her cry, Nancy and Grace both panicked and tried to console her, flustered and worried.
Henry, Blanc, and Ivan, being men, didn’t step forward to wipe Lily’s tears. But the concern in their eyes was
unmistakable.
The thought that Lily was bullied by outsiders on their own turf darkened their expressions even further. Luna
had always seen Lily as a fake-someone who couldn’t compare to her real daughter, Mathilda.
She had assumed the Luke family would also find Lily beneath them, but she hadn't expected Grace and Nancy
to be so kind to her.
With a look of anger and disdain, Luna glared at Lily before greeting the two elders. Then she turned to Nancy.
“Nancy, you know perfectly well-Mathilda was the one originally engaged to James”
“Lily is a liar-selfish, vicious, shameless. She doesn’t deserve James at all.”

Mathilda greeted the elders politely and with perfect manners. Then, with pure sincerity, she said, “I'll take good
care of James from now on.”
Nancy almost laughed out loud at their act.
Yes, Mathilda was the original fiancée.

But Nancy wasn’t stupid. In the end, it was Lily’s nand ID that the Ginger family sent over. Clearly they
didn’t want Mathilda to be tied to a man in a coma, but also didn’t want to give up the hundred million, so they
sent the adopted daughter instead.
When James was unconscious, Mathilda didn’t want to be burdened.
Now that he was awake, she suddenly wanted to cback and take care of him? How convenient.
Nancy was just about to say something sarcastic to the Ginger family when she saw James coming down the
stairs.
He wore an all-black suit that day.
A handmade, high-end custom suit tailored perfectly to his frame. He looked even more striking and
untouchable than usual, like royalty born.
Mathilda was stunned.
She had seen pictures of James before.
Even then, she had thought he was unbelievably handsome. What a shhe was a vegetable.
But now, seeing him in person-better looking and more noble than in any photo-her heart pounded
uncontrollably.
James was truly exceptional. None of the simps who trailed after her could compare.
Only a man as brilliant as him was worthy
of her.
She had to marry him.
“James,” she greeted sweetly, her voice soft and demure.
James gave her a cold glance, his expression completely unreadable.
Luna, used to James's frosty demeanor, held Mathilda’s hand and eagerly stepped forward.
“James, I'm sure you haven't

Mathilda’s eyes shimmered with a misty glow-so innocent, so pitiful.

But deep in his pitch-black eyes, a hint of cold mockery surfaced.
