Simon startled, instinctively pulling away.
“John, take care of Lizzy. Can’t you see she can barely stand?”
John was still fuming but heard the concern in Simon’s voice. After another vicious kick at Bob, he rushed back and carefully pulled Elsa into his arms.
“John, Simon… I really didn’t know my mother would do something like this,” Elsa said, her voice trembling. She was desperate to prove she had nothing to do with it. “I had no idea. She’s completely lost it…”
Humiliated, she took a deep breath and forced herself to look at Lily. “Lily, I’m so sorry. I never imaging
+20 Frial Comi my mother would… Please believe me, she didn’t mean to go that far. Can you give her one last chance?”
“So she can keep trying to destroy me?”
Lily’s gaze was cold, disgusted.
“I only regret that the court moves too slowly. I want her in prison now.”
“I’m sorry. I’m sure she didn’t mean it.”
Elsa was proud by nature. Apologizing to Lily was already a bitter pill to swallow. And now, Lily’s relentless response stoked a fury in her that she could barely suppress.
Elsa lowered her lashes, hiding every ounce of hatred for Lily beneath her eyes before speaking again.
“I know… I know my mother went too far this time. I’ll scold her severely. I’ll try to make things right. But you still have your whole life ahead of you. You’ll probably live long, happy lives. I, on the other hand, only have a few months left, In what little time I have left, I just want to be with my mom. Lily please. I’m begging you. Let me have that, will you?”
“Oh, you’re dying, so that’s your get-out-of-jail-free card? Just because you’re dying, your whole family can get away with murder and arson without consequences?”
Lily wasn’t about to budge. Her voice was calm but full of bite.
“If you really didn’t want to be separated from Wendy, then maybe the two of you shouldn’t have schemed and hurt people again and again. In the end, she’s facing serious punishment because of her own choices. Not only will I hold her accountable for the drunk-driving setup, but I also have solid evidence for tonight. I won’t stop until justice is served.”
“John, Simon….
Realizing Lily wouldn’t give her even the smallest out, Elsa turned to John and Simon for help.
Simon said nothing.
He still disliked Lily, sure-but maybe because she’d once been his arranged match, he couldn’t stomach the idea of someone photographing her like that. Even he had to admit Wendy had crossed a line this time. He didn’t know how to defend her anymore..
John couldn’t stomach the thought either.
Men trying to tear off Lily’s clothes… not just seeing her body, but snapping photos and plastering her private life all over the internet?
For once, he didn’t blindly take Elsa’s side. His voice was quiet but firm.
“Elsa, I’ll hire the best lawyer I can for Wendy.”
Elsa’s eyes fluttered shut, her expression shattered and cold.
They were all siding with Lily.
She knew she’d managed to stay clean this time. She wouldn’t be charged. She wouldn’t have to go to jail.
But Wendy was her mother. They shared everything-their glory and their shame. If Wendy ended up prison, Elsa would forever carry the mark of being a criminal’s daughter.
And one day, when she had John’s child, people would whisper that the kid’s grandmother was a criminal. A disgusting one at that.
She couldn’t let that happen. She had to strike back-hard-and drag Lily down with them. It was the only way to save Wendy.
The stench in the room was unbearable-Jyro and Bob had literally pissed themselves.
James still had a few more questions for them, but for now, he told Lily to wait in the car. He’d have someone clean the room once this was all dealt with.
There were too many people inside. The room was filthy. She couldn’t exactly change out of her costume here.
So she left, still wearing her stage outfit.
The elevator was still broken-it had been all night-so she took the stairs.
But as she reached the stairwell on the fourth floor, Elsa suddenly appeared.
Without a word, she snatched Lily’s phone and hurled it down the hallway.
Lily stared at her like she was insane and turned to walk away, wanting nothing to do with her.
But Elsa grabbed her wrist, hard, refusing to let her leave.
Her voice was low, hateful, and spine-chilling-
“You’re proud of yourself, aren’t you? You got another piece of evidence against my mom. But this isn’t over. I haven’t lost. I’ll never let my mom go to prison.”
Then her tone shifted-lofty, arrogant, even triumphant
“What if I make John and Simon believe that you pushed me down the stairs? That you intentionally made my condition worse-maybe even killed me. If they believe that, don’t you think they’ll want you dead? If everyone thinks you tried to kill me, then my mom won’t go to jail, will she? Lily, you can’t beat me. You were always destined to lose.”
With that, she flung Lily’s arm aside, spun around, and charged toward the staircase, throwing herself down without hesitation.
Elsa knew it would hurt-badly.
But her beautiful, shimmering eyes didn’t show a shred of fear. Only cold, unwavering resolve.
Earlier tonight, she and Wendy had nearly had Lily in the palm of their hands.
But thanks to Jyro and his useless men, everything had unraveled.
Still, there were other ways to win. She could make Lily look like a monster and drag her down with them.
If everyone believed Lily had pushed her, it would be attempted murder.
And if Lily didn’t want to go to prison herself, she’d have to beg for peace-she’d have to make a deal with Wendy.
The pain was searing. White-hot, slicing through her like a blade.
Blood quickly pooled around her, but Elsa tilted her head up and smiled.
A proud, smug, victorious smile.
“Lizzy!”
John and Simon’s shouts rang out-panicked, full of anguish.
Elsa buried her triumph deep in her eyes and summoned a broken, delicate tone as she cried out.
“John Simon… help me….
“I swear, I didn’t know my mom would send people after her. But Lily didn’t believe me. She.. she tried to kill me…
“It hurts… It hurts so bad…
She bit down hard on the blood capsule in her mouth..
Bright red blood streamed from the corners of her lips.
That kind of medicine-the kind that made her cough up blood-was too harmful to take often. So lately, Fisa had been carrying around specially made blood capsules,
The outer layer of those capsules was edible. Once she hit into one, she’d swallow the shell right away.
Now, with blood dripping from the corners of her lips, and more blood seeping from the scrapes on her anus and legs, she looked like shattered crimson glass-fragile and luminous, heartbreakingly beautiful
John and Simon were both so shaken, their eyes had gone red.
But she looked so badly hurt, neither of them dared to touch her, worried they’d make things worse. All they could do was wait for the doctor.
Lily’s phone had been thrown down the stairs by Elsa. And her micro camera had been linked to that phone.
Right now, that phone meant everything. She needed to get it back.
But just as she stepped toward the stairs, John grabbed her by the throat.
His grip was brutal. In a near-blind rage, he seized her neck so tightly that he lifted her off the floor. forcing her to perch on the railing, her upper body tilting dangerously backward.
The building’s ceilings were nearly four meters high.
Leaning back like this, her face turned slightly to the side, she could see the floor below-clear as day.
That sudden weightlessness sparked a terror deeper than anything she’d ever felt.
