Chapter 340 I Said Don’t Touch Me


    “What are you all doing?!”


    Adeline, the lead actress of “Cherry”, had been scrolling on her phone during lunch when she sturabled upon the news online.


    She didn’t even finish her meal. After calling the police, she rushed back to the theater, heart racing-only to see several people trying to shove Lily off the edge of the stage.


    Lily was doing her best to resist, but her strength was no match for five or six attackers. In less than thirty seconds, they’d force her off the stage.


    These people were insane. Adeline didn’t believe for a second that Lily would do something so reckless before a performance-like pushing a pregnant Elsa off the stage. There was no way she could just stand by and let them hurt her.


    She sprinted forward, reaching out to pull the attackers away from Lily.


    But they were hellbent on punishing her. Before Adeline could even grab Lily’s wrist, one of the hired trolls caught her off guard and shoved her off the edge instead.


    “Adeline!”


    The stage stood over a meter high. Adeline had fallenpletely unprepared-her nose broke from the impact, and her body throbbed with burning pain. For a long moment, she couldn’t even get up.


    Blood streamed from her nose.


    Seeing blood on her chin and costume, Lily panicked.


    She was already backed up to the edge of the stage herself. In just seconds, they’d push her off too-she’d end up with a head injury, or worse, lose her baby forever.


    Yulia and her gang had prepared buckets of ice water in advance.


    She and her friends dumped the freezing water straight onto Lily.


    As she did it, she wrapped herself in a facade of righteousness. “Lily is absolutely evil! I’m standing up for justice today-for Ms. Elsa and her unborn child!”


    They weren’t being careful either; as they drenched Lily, the icy water also sshed onto the trolls restraining her.


    The sudden cold made them flinch/instinctively. Lily seized the opportunity to break free and tried to escape down the nearby stairs at the side of the stage.


    “Grab her!”


    The trolls were determined to make Lily feel what it was like to fall from the stage. There was no way they’d let her run off that easily.


    They surged forward again and grabbed her without hesitation.

    But still, they said nothing. In their minds, the bastard growing in Liby’s belly deserved to be to Goy stood by, silently allowing the abuse to continue.

    “Are you all out of your minds?!”


    Adeline’s voice trembled with rage when she saw Lily soaked to the bone.

    She struggled to her feet, wobbling from the pain, and tried to run to Lily’s side


    But Yulia and her group pinned her down. Yulia even pped her across the face and sneered. “Only cats would speak up for a disgusting murderer. You’re no better?*


    “You dare hit Adeline?!”


    Some of Adeline’s fans were also in the theater.


    When they saw her get shoved off the stage and pped, they couldn’t stay silent any longer. “Let her go


    Meanwhile, the trolls pushed Lily back toward the edge of the stage again.


    Even some of Lily’s fans began to look uneasy.


    They shouted as well, “Let Lily go! Adeline’s right-nothing’s been proven yet. You have no right to attack her!”


    “Oh, so now you’re siding with the murderer?” Yulia scoffed, emboldened by the chaos and certain Lily couldn’t recover from this.


    “Lily killed Mr. John’s child-coldly and without a shred of remorse. And everyone knows Ms. Elsa saved Mr. Simon’s life. She’s the sister he cares about most. So you’re siding with a murderer and nning to go up against both Mr. John and Mr. Simon?”


    At once, everyone who had spoken up for Lily went silent.


    They all knew how powerful the Bale and Jones families were. Some even worked for Jones Corp or the Bale family. None of them wanted to lose their jobs or be targeted.


    Even the security guards Adeline had dragged over backed off, sensing the tension.


    Only Adeline, red-faced with anger, still tried to shield Lily. But one person couldn’t overpower several- no matter how agile she was, being restrained by multiple attackers meant she couldn’t reach Lily.


    “I’m not a murderer!”
