In the end, Mathilda hadn’t dared upload the video clips.
If everyone already hated Lily, uploading them would only make people find her even more disgusting.
But right now, the entire internet was feeling sorry for Lily. Posting those videos now would only amplify the pity.
She wasn’t stupid enough to make things worse.
“Elsa, don’t be like this.”
Seeing Elsa’s pale face, Mathilda rushed to comfort her. “I believe Mr. John will handle this. He would never let you suffer.”
Elsa closed her eyes and said nothing.
But a plan had already formed in her mind.
Right now, the hate was overwhelming-even her own fans were turning their backs on her.
There was no way she could shift public opinion on her own.
If she wanted to turn things around, she needed John and Simon to step in.
“Mathilda, you should go home. I need some time alone.”
“Elsa, you…
Mathilda’s eyes were full of worry and panic.
But seeing Elsa close her eyes, clearly unwilling to talk, she decided to leave.
Elsa seemed so composed-she obviously already had a plan.
All she had to do was wait and watch.
She gave Elsa a few more words of comfort, then left the hospital room.
“Mom…”
Almost as soon as Mathilda walked out, Elsa picked up a fruit knife from the table.
As soon as she unfolded it, a flash of unease crossed Wendy’s well-maintained face.
But knowing how clever and decisive her daughter had always been, she didn’t try to stop her.
Elsa lightly sliced her wrist. “Call John and Simon. Tell them the online abuse triggered my depression and I tried to kill myself.”
Wendy’s eyes lit up. She called for a doctor to get Elsa into the emergency room, then immediately started dialing John and Simon’s numbers…
“Boss…”
John had a packed morning full of meetings.
Just as he stepped out of the conference room, Wayne came over, phone in hand.
“Someone posted photos and videos of Ms. Lily leaving your place this morning. Now everyone thinks you and Ms. Elsa are a couple, and they’re calling Ms. Lily the mistress.”
John’s brows knit tightly together. His eyes turned ice-cold.
Feeling the terrifying chill radiating off his boss, Wayne instinctively shivered.
But he hadn’t even finished reporting yet. No matter how scared he felt, he had to keep going.
“There were also some extreme netizens who cornered Ms. Lily and started hurling insults-and garbage -at her.” Wayne said as he pulled up the video on his phone.
John glanced down and saw a crowd surrounding Lily. Banana peels, rotten eggs, apple cores, soda, milk tea… all thrown at her from every direction.
Her face was completely smeared by rotten eggs. Milk tea and soda had soaked her hair. Someone even hurled a full, unopened bottle of water at her head, It hit her hard enough to make her stumble, nearly collapsing to the ground.
John’s fingers clenched tighter and tighter. He wanted nothing more than to grind every one of those attackers into dust.
There was already a swollen lump forming on her forehead-she was clearly hurt.
“Find them!”
The pain blooming wildly in his chest made it impossible to keep watching.
He barked at Wayne, “I want detailed information on every single one of them! Notify Legal. I’m pursuing this all the way!”
The air around John was sharp with fury. It was cold-deadly cold-and terrifying.
But Wayne secretly let out a breath of relief.
He’d always felt that John’s favoritism toward Elsa was misplaced. Seeing him finally standing up for Ms. Lily was a welcome sight.
After all, during John’s hardest years, it had been Lily who stayed by his side.
Elsa claimed her family had forced her to break up with John four years ago, even sent her overseas against her will-but who really knew the truth?
“Boss, maybe you should call Ms. Lily?”
Wayne, always concerned about his boss’s happiness, mustered the courage to suggest, “She’s been humiliated like this… she probably really needs you right now.”
“Mm.”
Worried about Lily, John naturally reached for his phone.
But after dialing multiple times, all he got was a busy signal.
It was obvious-she had blocked him.
His eyes turned icy cold, inch by inch. But thinking about what she’d endured today, he decided to go to her hotel and speak to her in person.
Just as he took a step forward, a news alert popped up on his phone.
-Elsa knowingly became a mistress, shamelessly stealing the bride’s wedding dress.”
John froze and tapped on the article, only to realize the entire narrative online had flipped.
Lily had uploaded the video of him saying she was his girlfriend, along with several screenshots of their chats. Now the internet was overflowing with sympathy for her-and scorn for Elsa, calling her the mistress.
John knew Lily must’ve been hurting from the online abuse.
But he didn’t approve of what she’d done.
Posting the video and screenshots would now subject Elsa to relentless public shame.
And Elsa wasn’t just battling cancer-she also had severe depression. He feared that if she saw all this, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
As that fear crossed his mind, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing Wendy’s name on the screen, he quickly answered, “Madam Wendy-“
“John, everyone’s attacking Elsa online… After seeing those posts, her depression came back. She-she tried to kill herself. Slit her wrists.”
“She’s in the ER right now… I’m terrified she’ll never wake up again… sob…”
“What?!”
Hearing that Elsa had attempted suicide, John instantly forgot about going to Lily. Without hesitation, he turned and bolted toward the stairs-
Lily had spiked another fever-forty degrees.
She’d ordered some fever medication online, and the delivery guy had just called to say he’d left the bag outside her hotel room.
He was already gone.
Still in her pajamas, Lily opened the door and picked up the delivery.
She was burning up, her head in a haze, and didn’t even notice Simon standing right outside.
She had just stepped back into her room when Simon stormed in like a whirlwind, slamming the door behind him with a bang!
His eyes blazed with fury, and the air around him turned icy, like it came straight from the depths of hell.
Lily instantly sensed danger.
Her ankle throbbed painfully, her fever was getting worse, and she had no interest in wasting time on him. “Simon, get out.”
