When Ivan brought out the ginger brown sugar tea, Nancy thought the bowl was too big and sent James to get a smaller one.
She ladled some into it and handed it to Lily, “Here, have some soup first. Warm yourself up.”
Looking at Nancy’s kind and beautiful face, Lily couldn’t help but think of her own mother, who had passed away so many years ago,
Nancy really did remind her of her mom.
Young, gentle, graceful. And so full of warmth.
It made her feel like she had traveled back in time–back to when her parents were still alive.
Like she was once again the cherished daughter held close by her family not someone who could be tossed aside at any moment
Her heart felt warm and full, her eyes misty and hot. She was so moved by this warmth that she couldn’t even speak. All she could do was hold the little bowl and sip the soup in small mouthfuls.
“Mathilda’s unbelievable!” Ivan suddenly said, fuming as he pointed at his phone. “She’s livestreaming right now… “She just said that if Lily hadn’t stolen her identity, she wouldn’t have had to suffer so much. It’s not like Lily sold her to traffickers. How does she have the nerve to say stuff like this? Actually, forget it for
now.”
One glance at Ivan’s screen and Nancy’s expression turned ice–cold. “I’ll take care of her in a minute. Let her dance around a litle first. The harder she jumps now, the worse she’ll fall. Right now, we focus on clearing Lily’s name.”
Clearing my name…
Lily’s eyes stung again.
It was almost laughable. She had loved John for four years, stood by him for four years, given him her heart for four years. And the moment people online started accusing her, he immediately believed she had bullied Mathilda.
But she hadn’t even lived with the Luke family for a full week, and Nancy had already said she was being slandered.
How did she get so lucky, to be trusted unconditionally by people like Nancy?
Grace also agreed with her daughter–in–law. “Exactly. What matters now is proving Lily’s innocence and slapping those snakes right in the face!”
Henry turned and started glaring at James again. “It’s all this punk’s fault!”
“If he knew how to protect his wife, would the Ginger family have dared to treat her like this?”
James’s face darkened.

He didn’t acknowledge Lily as his wife.
And he never would.
Still, afraid Henry might get worked up and trigger a health issue, he said nothing.

If this slander against Lily didn’t get resolved, the elders in the family might end up sick with stress. After releasing some cold silence, he finally said coolly. “Lily, it was Mathilda and the others who started it, right? You slapped her in self–defense?”
Lily hadn’t expected James, of all people, to talk to her first.
She set the little bowl down on the coffee table and sat up straight, answering seriously, “Yes. They hit me first.”
“Okay.”
James gave a flat response, then continued, “Since someone recorded you slapping Mathilda, there’s a good chance they also caught them hitting you first. Did you see who recorded the video?”
Lily had thought about that too.
She had even considered trying to get the full footage..
But the person who filmed it had long since become tight with Mathilda. There was no way she’d hand over the original video.
Still, since James asked, Lily answered truthfully, “It was Quincy,”
“James, go to the Moore family right now.”
Nancy, though deeply in love with Blanc, wasn’t the type of woman who relied entirely on a man.
She had her own clothing brand. At home, she was soft and graceful, but outside, she was confident and decisive.
Her face, usually as bright as springtime, was now sharp as frost. “Even my daughter–in–law is someone they dare to bully? Sounds to me like the Moore family’s been living too comfortably.”
Tell them if they don’t hand over the full video, that’s fine. Just be ready to go bankrupt.”
“Alright.”
James didn’t want to carry Lily or blur any lines with her–but something like this, a straightforward errand, wasn’t something he needed to refuse.
“I’m going too!” Ivan jumped in. He loved drama and wouldn’t miss something like this for the world. “Lily, don’t worry, James will get this sorted,” Nancy said, squeezing Lily’s hand again.
Even after all the ginger tea and time spent hugging the hand warmer, her hands were still ice–cold. Nancy felt both heartbreak and guilt.
Sixteen years ago, she had almost completed the paperwork to adopt Lily,

But Luna had set her sights on Lily too. She’d begged, cried, done everything to get her way. Nancy had softened and let her have Lily
She had thought that if Luna wanted Lily that badly, she would surely take good care of her.
Who could’ve known the Ginger family wouldn’t even treat their adopted daughter like a human being?
If she had known then how deeply Lily would be hurt, she never would’ve given in to Luna’s pleading. She never would’ve let Lily go.
