Chapter 342 Did You Just p Me?


    She walked quickly up to him, smoothed her bangs, and spoke with heartfelt sincerity.


    “James, I didn’t mean to say anything bad about Lily. But this time, she really crossed a line. How could she push Elsa off such a high stage out of jealousy and cause her to miscarry? Elsa lost her baby and bled so much, she’s really, really pitiful…”


    As Mathilda spoke, she even sniffled dramatically, as if her pure, kind heart truly ached for Elsa. She believed that if James saw how gentle and good she was, he’d naturally feel drawn to her.


    And byparison, with her own kindness so clearly on disy, he’d only see Lily as vile, shameless, malicious, disgusting, he’d throw the imposter to the ground. But instead, he was still holding Lily tightly in his arms.


    She really couldn’t understand his reaction.


    Just as she was about to say something even more sincere, to make him realize how out of line Lily had been, his gaze sliced across her face like a de of ice. The chill in his eyes struck so hard, Mathilda visibly shivered. I’m so beautiful and kind… shouldn’t he be looking at me with admiration and affection? Why was his gaze so cold, so indifferent, and worse, filled with a terrifying loathing?


    Before she could make sense of it, his voice rang out, sharp and frigid enough to freeze water mid-air.


    “You said Lily maliciously pushed Elsa off the stage. Did you see it happen?”


    “I didn’t, but-“.


    She didn’t even finish the sentence before he cut her off harshly.


    “You didn’t even see what happened, and you still have the nerve to run your mouth? That’s nder. If all you’re going to do is spread lies, maybe think twice before you speak. Or do you just enjoy making a fool of yourself?”


    “James…”


    Mathilda was stunned.


    She couldn’t believe James, who had always been friendly with Taylor and her third brother, who was even engaged to her would say something so humiliating in public. As a woman; how am I supposed to live after that?


    “James, put Lily down!”


    Mergan stood by, coldly waiting for Lily to miscarry-he hadn’t expected James to show up out of nowhere.


    He couldn’t stand seeing another man touch Lily.


    Watching her nestled in James’ arms, looking so trusting and reliant, made his fists clench with audible


    cracks.


    “Apologize to Mathilda!”


    Chapter 342 Did You Just p Me?


    “Heh.”


    James curled his lips into a mocking smile. Clearly, he wasn’t going to apologize to a pest like Mathilda- nor would he ever let go of Lily.


    When Bodger and Taylor saw Mathilda burst into tears from the insult, their faces turned grit. They began scolding James in unison.


    “James, Mathilda likes you so much! How could you say she’s spewing filth? Are you even a man? Lily caused Elsa’s miscarriage; what she did was downright inhuman! Yet you’re still protecting her? You’d even hurt Mathilda over her? Are you blind?”


    “No wonder you don’t mind the garbageing out of Mathilda’s mouth.”


    James’ lips still curved upward slightly.


    But the smile never reached his eyes-making him appear all the colder, more dangerous, andpletely unapproachable.


    He scoffed softly and added, “Figures. Birds of a feather. Just like her, you’re all full of crap.”


    “Who are you calling full of crap?! You-”


    Taylor exploded with rage, swinging his fist as he charged at James, intent on teaching him a lesson.


    “James was talking about you, Taylor. You don’t understand in English, do you?”


    Ivan had also seen the news online.


    Their whole family had nned toe support their sister-inw in her performance.


    But halfway through the drive, while Taylor was behind the wheel, Ivan had been scrolling through short videos and had stumbled across a clip of Elsa using Lily of killing her baby.


    Even worse, there were lunatics attacking Lily in public.


    He immediately urged Taylor to floor it-they had to get there fast and back Lily up.


    Seeing Taylor not only blind to the truth but ready toy hands on his brother, Ivan couldn’t stand it. He kicked him without hesitation.


    “Ivan, have you lost your damn mind?!”


    Taylor hadn’t even touched James yet and had already been kicked by Ivan; his expression darkened with fury.


    Clenching his fists tighter, he was about to retaliate-when he saw that not only had Ivan shown up, but Victor, nc, Henry, Grace, even Jamie, Mary, Dennis, and Zoey had arrived as well.


    With the elders present, Taylor didn’t want to make a scene by brawling with Ivan.


    And with so many people on Ivan’s side, the three brothers stood no chance in a fight. He pulled his fist back and waited for the Luke family to open their eyes to who Lily really was-for the elders to demand


    James apologize to Mathilda.


    Chapter 342 Did You Just p Me?


    Elsa hadn’t expected James to defend Lily either; her fingers trembled with rage.


    She had hoped everyone would hate Lily-despise her.


    But swallowing down her fury, she forced herself to speak again, soft and pitiful, “James… my stomach really hurts…”
