Chapter 95 A Family That Stands With Her
s
When Ivan brought out the ginger brown sugar tea, Nancy thought the bowl was too big and sent James to get a smaller one.
Shedled some into it <b>and </b>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 <b>away </b>so many <b>years </b>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 <b>was </b>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 <b>hot</b>. 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 <b>that </b>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
<b>now</b>.”
One nce at Ivan’s screen and Nancy’s expression turned <b>ice</b>–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 almostughable. She had loved John for four years, stood by him for four years, given him her heart for four years. <b>And </b>the moment people online started using 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 ndered.
How did she get so lucky, to be trusted unconditionally by people like Nancy?
<b>Grace </b>also agreed with her daughter–inw. “Exactly. What matters now is proving Lily’s innocence and pping those snakes right in the face!”
Henry turned <b>and </b>started ring 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, <b>afraid </b>Henry <b>might </b>get worked up and trigger a health issue, he said nothing.

If this nder against Lily didn’t get resolved, the elders in the family might end up <b>sick </b>with stress. After releasing some cold silence, he finally said coolly. “Lily, it <b>was </b>Mathilda and the others who started it, right? You pped 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 <b>table </b>and sat up straight, answering seriously, “Yes. They hit me first.”
“Okay<b>.</b>”
James gave a t response, then continued, “Since someone recorded <b>you </b>pping 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 be 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 nc, 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. “<b>Even </b>my daughter–inw <b>is </b>someone they dare to bully? Sounds to me like the Moore family’s been living toofortably.”
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, <b>wasn’t </b>something he needed to refuse.
“I’m going too!” Ivan jumped in. He loved <b>drama </b>and wouldn’t miss something like this for the world. “Lily, don’t worry, James will get this sorted,” Nancy said, squeezing Lily’s <b>hand </b>again.
Even after all the ginger tea <b>and </b>time spent hugging the hand warmer, her hands were still ice–cold. Nancy felt both heartbreak <b>and </b>guilt.
Sixteen years ago, she had almostpleted the <b>paperwork </b>to adopt Lily,

<b>But </b>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 <b>that </b>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 <b>human </b>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.
