Elsa staggered, her legs giving out beneath her as she copsed to the ground in a disheveled heap. John rushed to catch her, and she trembled helplessly in his arms.
“No… no, it’s not possible… My mom will be fine. If… if anything happens to her, I don’t want to live either!”
Her voice broke apart with each word. Blood trickled from the corner of her lips while tears streamed down her cheeks. She looked utterly devastated, a picture of despair.
Simon and John both stared at her crumbling state, eyes burning with anguish. The next second, their shouts echoed through the room.
“Lily, you really deserve to die!”
Simon was the first tosh out. His rage overwhelmed any shred of reason as he stepped forward, his voiceced with venom.
“Come with me to the ICU right now! If anything happens to Wendy, you’re not walking out of there alive!”
He reached for Lily, clearly intent on dragging her out by force.
“Simon, get out!” James‘ voice rang out like steel, cold and cutting.
Even if he didn’t love Lily, James would never stand by and let someoney a hand on her. He was about to step in and throw Simon out himself when Nancy suddenly raised her phone screen in front of everyone.

Earlier, Lily had quietly told her about the micro camera she wore. Nancy had asked for the passwords to herputer, immediately forwarded them to the butler, and instructed him to retrieve the footage from the ident.
Now, on her screen, was the video<i>. </i>
Simon was too consumed with fury to care about whatever Nancy was ying. He was still determined to drag Lily away–until a loud crash stopped him cold.
The sound of a violent impact filled the room.
Startled, Simon looked down. The sound hade from Nancy’s phone. He saw a delivery truck m directly into apact sedan.
The camera angle shifted, and Lily’s pained expression appeared on the screen. Her face was twisted in agony, her body trembling uncontrobly.
Clearly, the truck had hit Lily’s car.
Then another vehicle appeared from the corner–a burgundy luxury car. Simon instantly recognized it. He had bought it for Elsa, and recently, it had been Wendy driving it. <ol><li>0. </li></ol>

Chapter 189 The Truth Unravels
Before he could even process what he was seeing, Wendy stepped out of the burgundy car with two thuggish–looking men. The two men walked straight up to Lily’s vehicle, smashed in the window, pried open the door, and wrestled her phone from her hands.
“Give me back my phone!” Lily’s voice cried out in the video.
“Wendy, what are you doing?!”
John stood next to Simon, watching as the footage unfolded. He had always trusted Wendy and Elsa. Wendy had sounded so weak and heartbroken when she called Elsa that night. He had no reason to doubt her story–that Lily had been drunk driving and had run her over.
But now… he was watching apletely different version of events.
Wendy turned toward the camera, her eyes cold and venomous. Her voice echoed with malice.
“Lily, tonight, it’s not about what I’ve done. It’s about how you got drunk and ran me over.”
John’s body froze. His entire worldview cracked. In his mind, Wendy had always been elegant, warm, gracious–a refined elder he deeply respected.
He had never imagined she was capable of speaking in such a cruel, hateful tone.
Elsa was still curled up in John’s arms, quietly sobbing. She had been waiting for him and Simon to step in and avenge her. She never expected Wendy’s voice toe through that phone, soaked with spite and
venom.
Slowly, she looked up at the screen. There, in the footage, was Wendy approaching Lily, her smile twisted into a grotesque grin.
“You’re lying!” Lily shouted. “You’re the one who had someone ram into me. I didn’t drink, and I definitely didn’t run you over. What are you talking about?”
A chill swept over Elsa’s entire body. Her limbs trembled harder.
She realized then–Lily had nted a micro camera in her car, and it had captured everything.
Her lips quivered. She lunged toward Nancy, trying to snatch the phone and destroy the evidence. She couldn’t let John or Simon see the rest of that footage.
She couldn’t let anyone else see it either.
If this video got out, Wendy’s carefully curated public image would be destroyed. She could even end up in prison. Elsa herself would be dragged down with her.
But it was no use.
Even if she smashed Nancy’s phone, Lily undoubtedly had backups. The video would get out. She’d be ruined.
Her hysterical reaction would only raise suspicion. It would only make Simon and John wonder what part she had yed in all this.
And Elsa had a sinking feeling-
