Many netizens insisted Elsa must’ve witnessed Lily bullying someone in person–why else would she say that? As far as they were concerned, Lily’s guilt was undeniable.
They would never forgive someone as disgusting as her.
The internet was flooded with people calling Lily vile and revolting
But to Lily, the ones who were truly disgusting were Elsa and the Ginger family.
How tragic–those who were innocent ended up covered in filth, while the hypocrites basked in fame and fortune.
Gripping her phone tightly, Lily walked toward the parking lot in a daze. Then, she suddenly felt a wave of cold hit her like a slap. It was that long–faced girl–Yulia–the same one who’d thrown a banana peel at her face the last time she was accused of being a homewrecker.
Trailing behind Yulia were several other girls dressed in edgy, non–mainstream fashion. Each one was holding a bucket of ice water.
Before Lily could react, they started dumping the freezing water all over her.
“Lily, you’re not mentally ill at all! First you went after Mr. John while Elsa was overseas, then you bullied Mathilda, the real daughter… You and your disgusting parents don’t deserve to be alive.”
“You’re worse than animals!”
Crash!
Shaking with cold, Lily didn’t hesitate. She seized the bucket in front of her with all her strength and slammed it down onto Yulia’s head.
-B*tch!”
Yulia flew into a rage.
Her crew of friends were just as furious.
Lily wanted nothing more than to grab every one of those buckets and dump them right over their heads.
But she knew full well–two fists couldn’t win against a whole crowd. If she picked a fight now, she’d only
off end up
worse
While the others were busy helping Yulia get the bucket off her head, Lily took her chance. She broke into a full sprint, bolting toward her car like she was in a hundred–meter dash.
Simon had seen the news too.
Someone online had even posted Lily’s current location.
Almost like he was under a spell, he found himself driving to the recording studio after work.

And just as he turned his head, he saw it through the car window–several girls were dumping ice water over Lily.
Chunks of ice mixed with freezing water poured over her head. Her long hair and coat were instantly soaked through,
The wind was biting. Her lips were pale, and her body shook uncontrollably like a leaf in a storm.
His chest tightened painfully
He instinctively reached for the door, ready to get out and pull her into his car.
But then he remembered Elsa had just called him. She’d said Lily had bullied her too.
He couldn’t protect someone who’d hurt Elsa.
Forcing himself to look away, he turned the car around and left her behind, refusing to care whether she lived or died.
Lily had barely started driving away when her phone rang again, sharp and shrill.
The number on the screen was unfamiliar. She guessed it was probably a director calling to terminate her
contract.
One way or another, this was something she had to face. She answered the call.
“Lily.”
It wasn’t a director.
It was John.
His voice held that same calm authority and cold detachment. “I saw the news online. You really shouldn’t have bullied Mathilda. I’ll take care of the media for you. Also, you shouldn’t have hit Elsa yesterday. Come to the hospital and apologize to her. Then come back to our place with me tonight. I’ll make sure all the negative press gets taken down.”
“Ha!”
Lily actually laughed.
It was just too absurd. She laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes.
She’d once fallen for him–thrown herself at him like a moth to a flame–because he was the one who had pulled her out of the darkness when she was being bullied.
Even after they got together, she had told him clearly the ones who led the bullying were Bodger and the others, and it had all been orchestrated by Mathilda.
But clearly, he had never believed her.
He actually thought she had been the one bullying Mathilda all along.
And now he wanted her to apologize to Elsa?

Keep dreaming.
“Lily, what’s so funny?”

John had seen with his own eyes how Bodger and the others used to target her. But after seeing the news today, it all suddenly made sense to him.
He figured she must’ve done something terrible to Mathilda first, and that’s why they’d treated her that
way.
He truly believed she had been in the wrong. That she needed to change.
But something about the way she laughed–so bitter, so hollow–it made him uneasy in a way he couldn’t explain.
“I’m laughing at how blind I was. Laughing at how four years of real love got flushed down the drain.”
Lily thought John was really something.
He had this talent for kicking her when she was already bleeding out.
Luckily, after being burned so many times by him, her heart had become bulletproof.
“I didn’t do anything wrong, and I will never apologize to Elsa. I’m married, I’m never going back to you. John, go live your toxic little love story with Elsa. Just stay the hell away from me.”
With that, Lily hung up–and without missing a beat, blocked his number.
She still refused to admit her mistakes…
Even had the nerve to say he was being pathetic..
John’s face darkened. He was about to call her back and tell her to stop making trouble–but saw she’d already hung up.
