Elsa lowered hershes, 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 <b>dying</b>, so that’s your get–out–of–jail–free card? Just because you’re dying, your whole family can get <b>away </b>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 <b>again </b>and again. In the end, she’s facing serious punishment because of her own choices. Not only will I hold her ountable 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 <b>had </b>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 stering her private life all over the inte?
For once, he didn’t blindly take Elsa’s side. His voice was quiet but <b>firm</b>.
“Elsa, I’ll hire the bestwyer I can for Wendy.”
Elsa’s eyes fluttered shut, her expression shattered and cold.
They were all <b>siding </b>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.
?n
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 <b>Wendy</b>.

The stench in the room <b>was </b>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 <b>here</b>.
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 <b>was </b><b>insane </b>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 <b>that</b>, don’t <b>you </b>think they’ll want you dead? If everyone thinks you tried to kill me, then my mom won’t go to <b>jail</b>, <b>will </b>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 <b>had </b>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 <b>searing</b>. White–hot, <b>slicing </b>through her like a de.
Blood quickly pooled <b>around </b>her, but Elsa tilted her head up and smiled.
Chapter 221 Staged Fall
A <b>proud</b>, smug<b>, </b>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….
“<b>I </b>swear, I didn’t know my mom would send people after her. But Lily didn’t believe me. She.. she tried to kill <b>me</b>…
“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.
