Chapter 316 A p in the Face
Still, after everything she went through today, there was no way she was going to drop the act—no matter who showed up.
“I really care about Lily. I truly see her as family. Why won’t she stoping after me?” Mathilda’s tearful voice finally pulled the three Ginger brothers out of their thoughts.
None of them liked how much Lily trusted and relied on James.
To them, they were Lily’s real family–the ones she should’ve counted on.
And they hated the way Lily always seemed to hurt Mathilda. Even if they didn’t want to go head–to–head with James, they were still determined to stand up for Mathilda and make things right.
“James, back off!” Bodger stepped forward, his voice sharp. “Lily’s mean and ungrateful. She went after Mathilda on purpose. She’s not getting away with it.”
“Lily is my wife,” James said coolly, not budging an inch.
He stood there like a wall–unyielding, calm, almost like a guardian angel. “She didn’t attack Mathilda, and I’m not about to let you smear her name. Even if she had hurt some useless, backstabbing brat, none of you have the right to say a damn thing to her.”
“Who the h*ll are you calling a brat?”
James had just called Mathilda a brat, and that sent the Ginger brothers over the edge.
“James, are you looking to get yourself killed?”
<i>Bang</i>!
James threw a hard punch straight into Bodger’s face, then gently turned to Lily, “Did you record a video? If you did, I’ll have someone send it over. If not, that’s fine too. Whoever makes the im has to prove it. If Mathilda can’t show solid evidence that you hurt her, then it’s nder–and the Luke Group’s legal team will take it from there.”
“I recorded it.”
Lily didn’t have her phone with her.
Elsa had already found out she used to carry a hidden camera, so she hadn’t worn it today.
But back during the holidays, James had given her a New Year’s gift–an elegant mechanical watch.
At first, she didn’t want to ept it.
But he’d told her the watch had a built–in micro camera, easy to operate. Just one click and it would start recording–perfect in case someone tried to trap her again.
She had epted it out of caution, worried Elsa or Mathilda might try something again. She never thought it’d actuallye in handy today.

“My phone’s not on me, so I’ll need to check myptop. James, could you call Alvin and ask him to send the footage?”
“Sure.”
James shot a cool nce at Ashton, who was standing respectfully to the side. Ashton understood instantly and quickly made the call.
Lily had already told Alvin herputer password, so it didn’t take long for him to pull the footage and send it to Ashton’s phone.
With the video in hand, Ashton walked forward, his presence cold and sharp. He smiled without warmth as he turned to the three Ginger brothers. “Take a good look. Let’s see if it was Mrs. Luke who attacked someone… or your sweet, innocent little sister trying to frame her.”
He gave a low, mockingugh and pressed y.
Mathilda’s face went pale.
She’d been so careful. She’d made sure Lily didn’t have her phone. She’d checked for hidden cameras. There was no way she could’ve recorded anything.
How the hell did she pull <i>that </i><i>off</i>?
The audio hit first–the loud thud she made when she hurled herself at the rock wall. That was it. Herst shred of hope shattered into pieces.
She’d endured all that pain, sure it was sure to make Lily lose the baby.
She never imagined it would all be for nothing.
Worse still, once her brothers saw the truth, they’d turn on her. They’d see her as the scheming one. They’d feel sorry for Lily instead.
I can’t believe this. <i>I </i>just <i>handed </i><i>Lily </i><i>the </i><i>upper </i><i>hand</i><i>. </i><i>It’s </i><i>all </i><i>Lily’s </i><i>fault</i>. <i>She’s </i><i>so </i><i>selfish</i><i>, </i>so <i>calcting</i>. I’ll never forgive that fraud for stealing <i>my </i><i>life</i><i>. </i>
The video was short, but it was all the proof they needed. It showed Mathilda curling her lips into a twisted smile before suddenly charging at the rock wall like she’d lost her mind.
There was no one near her. Not even close. There was absolutely no way Lily had touched her.
The brothers‘ faces twisted with shame.
Bodger in particr stared at the red marks on Lily’s neck–the ones he’d left there himself. His stomach twisted with guilt so heavy he could barely stay on his feet.
He never thought Mathilda would go this far. He’d believed her. He’d doubted Lily.
But Lily <b>had </b>been telling the truth. Mathilda had set her up again.
<b>Still </b><b>reeling </b><b>from </b>the shock <b>and </b>regret, he suddenly heard Ashton’s cold<b>, </b>sarcastic voice. “Mathilda sure knows how <b>to </b><b>y </b>the victim: So innocent. So sweet. So full of crap.”
