The moment Simon remembered those soft red lips–scented like spring peach blossoms–that had once. stolen a kiss from him, his own lips began to burn and itch.
He didn’t want to admit it, but it seemed her lips… weren’t that bad–looking.
And they were especially soft, recalling that velvety touch, he hurriedly turned his face away.
When his phone chimed, he latched onto it like a lifeline, fumbling to open it as if trying to hide something.
He was in a group chat with John, Kendrick, Calvin, Patrick, and a few others.
Kendrick had just created a new group, pulled everyone in, except for John.
Almost immediately, Kendrick, Patrick, and Calvin began flooding the chat with messages and a few video clips.
“Wasn’t John always hung up on his fiancee? Why would he say he wanted to marry Lily?”
“Could John actually have feelings for Lily?”
“Simon, you’re close with John–do you know what’s going on with him?”
Simon hadn’t had a chance to watch the videos yet.
He hadn’t expected John, who had already held a wedding ceremony with Elsa, to say he wanted to marry Lily.
A strange discomfort stirred in his chest. His expression turned cold as he typed, “Lizzy is my sister. I won’t let him hurt her.”
Out of all the guys in their circle, Simon and John came from the most powerful families.
Reading Simon’s reply, Kendrick and the others immediately relaxed.
They knew better than anyone how protective Simon was of Elsa.
With Simon in the picture, John would definitely have to give Elsa an explanation.
As for Lily…
John barely cared about her. There was no way he suddenly fell in love.
Whatever happened tonight–at most, it was just male possessiveness flaring up.
The one John truly cared about was still the elegant, proud red rose–Elsa.
Once they convinced themselves Elsa was the one in John’s heart, Kendrick and the others began talking with no filter again.
“Even if John’s just messing around with Lily, you have to admit–damn, that face, that body? She’s hot as

“Just looking at her tonight got me going. If John hadn’t barged in, I’d have taken her eight rounds already!— How long can some petty possessiveness last? When John gets bored of her, I swear I’ll sleep with her!”
“Same here! Especially the way she drinks–damn, it’s sexy as hell! I’ll break her in eventually!”
“Simon, take a look–I got video. Lily getting forced to drink tonight? She looked like some delicate little flower, all messed up. Had me losing control just watching.”
The chat was quickly filling with sleaze–disgusting and vile.
Simon was never particularly close with Kendrick and the others.
They just ran in the same social circles, shared a few group chats, and occasionally crossed paths at events.
Kendrick and his kind had always talked trash about women–nasty, degrading stuff.
Simon usually stayed out of it. He wasn’t the moral police; a lot of these people were rotten to the core. He couldn’t save them all.
In fact, he rarely even checked these group chats.
But tonight, for some reason–because they mentioned Lily–he read every single message.
Like he was under some spell, his chest twisted with discomfort.
When he saw Kendrick had also uploaded several videos, he hesitated a moment, then tapped them open.
In the footage, Lily was being dragged into a private room. She was pinned down on the couch, forcibly made to drink.
In the blink of an eye, two bottles of hard liquor–nearly 60% ABV–were poured down her throat.
“Simon, how did we do tonight?”
Kendrick and the others knew Simon favored Elsa above all.
And because Lily had “stolen” a man from Elsa, they figured Simon hated her too.
So they didn’t hold back in bragging, “Tonight we really went all out for you, Simon–totally crushed Lily. About that Southside project… any chance you’ll give it to Oscar Group?”
“Simon, I promise I’ll tame Lily eventually–turn her into my personal toy, so she can’t ever upset your sister again. Think you could loop Xander Group into that Eastbrook deal?”
“And Abraham Group too! Elsa’s refined, elegant, pure as ice, how can Lily even compare? Don’t worry, Simon. We’ll make sure Lily’s broken down properly. We’re counting on you to look after our businesses.”
A wave of fury surged behind Simon’s dark eyes.
Yes, he disliked Lily. Yes, he favored Elsa.
He would never let anyone harm or insult Elsa. But that didn’t mean he condoned using humiliation or2/3

assault to vent on a woman.
The more he read, the more disgusted he became with Kendrick and the others.
These kinds of people weren’t just unworthy of trust–they weren’t even worth the smallest bit of polite civility.
“Don’t ever let me see you trashing anyone like that again. Bale Group will never work with Oscar Group, Abraham Group, or Xander Group.”
With that, Simon exited the group chat.
Then he left every group associated with Kendrick and the others.
After a moment of silence, he picked up his phone and made a call to his assistant, giving a few quiet instructions…
