Chapter 344 Busted By The Ultrasound


    “…”


    Elsa’s face looked so pale, it was as if someone had painted it over in white. She couldn’t believe it-Mary didn’t even know the truth, yet had already decided it was her who framed Lily!


    “It really was Lily, she lost control and pushed me off the stage…”


    Elsa shut her eyes in pain, as though all the darkness in the world had chosen to cling to the once proud and radiant cold rose.


    Just before her eyes closed, she gave Yulia a subtle nce. Yulia caught on immediately and stepped forward. “Madam Mary, we all saw what happened. Lily deliberately pushed Ms. Elsa off the stage. And everyone knows Ms. Elsa has cancer-she doesn’t have much time left. She even refused painkillers just so she could carry this baby to term. She loved that child with all her heart. Why would she ever use him to frame Lily? We were all there. We can testify-Lily is the one who killed Ms. Elsa’s baby!”


    The moment Yulia finished, her group of girlfriends chimed in one after another.


    “That’s right, we all saw it! Lily shoved Ms. Elsa off the stage with such cruelty!”


    “She even said she’d make sure Ms. Elsa would never be a mother again!”


    “She’s so despicable, so shameless! Mr. John didn’t want her because she wasn’t good enough-she couldn’tpare to Ms. Elsa. Instead of improving herself, she grew resentful and took it out on Ms. Elsa by murdering her unborn child!”


    Even the hired hecklers joined the chorus of me.


    “Everyone knows how pathetically obsessed you are with Mr. John-willing to throw away your dignity and future!”


    “But if Mr. John doesn’t want you, then he just doesn’t. Even killing Elsa’s child won’t win you his heart!”


    “Are you brain-damaged? Go to the hospital and have that thing removed!”


    James held Lily even tighter, his gaze sweeping coldly over every face in the crowd.


    His features were too refined-his presence far too powerful. When his icy rended on them, even Yulia and her crew froze in fear, silenced on the spot.


    His voice, detached and cutting like icicles, rang out again.


    “My wife and I are deeply in love. Why would she ever want the heart of a heartless, fickle man like that?”


    The room erupted in shock.


    At Mary’sst birthday banquet, many in their social circle had learned that Lily was actually the daughter- inw of the wealthiest family


    But mostizens had no idea.

    They all thought Lily had been abandoned by John, still clinging to memories of him and scheming desperately to rece Elsa.


    No one had imagined that Lily had long since married James!


    John was outstanding in every regard; the Jones family was one of the top elite ns in Capital City.


    But the Luke family was the top family-undisputed number one. Clearly, they outshone the Joneses by far.


    And as for James-his face, his body, his abilities-he surpassed John in every way. To have a man like that by her side, Lily had absolutely no reason to pine for an ex who had betrayed her.


    James kept speaking.


    “My wife detests being harassed by John, Elsa, and the rest of them. She would love nothing more than for Elsa to give John dozens of children andpletely tie him down. Why would she ever push her off the stage?”


    “If Lily’s already married to someone far better than Mr. John, then yeah, there’s really no reason for her to do something so stupid as kill Elsa’s baby.”


    “Exactly-why mess up her hands when she’s got the status of daughter-inw to the most powerful family in town?”


    “Lily was about to perform tonight. What was Elsa even doing on her stage? Maybe this really was Elsa staging the whole thing, trying to frame her!”


    Hearing people suggest she had set Lily up made Elsa’s already paleplexion turn several shades whiter.


    She was shaking with rage. A bunch of blind idiots!


    Trembling, she clung tightly to John, her voice bitter with humiliation.


    “John, I used to dream about having a child with you… I loved our baby so deeply. I would’ve rather died than let anything happen to him. He meant everything to me-how could I ever use his life just to frame Lily? James, stop twisting the truth!”


    John shouted furiously at James, then turned his sharp, dagger-like gaze on Lily.


    “Lily, kneel. Apologize to Elsa!”


    “You want my wife to apologize to some lying, fake-innocent wench? In your dreams.”


    James shot John a cold, dismissive look before turning to Elsa with pure contempt.


    “If the baby in your belly were healthy, you probably wouldn’t have used his life to frame Lily. But you had an ectopic pregnancy. That child was never going to survive so you decided to squeeze the most out of his death and try to destroy Lily with it.”


    How did he know it was an ectopic pregnancy? Panic unlike anything she’d ever felt seized Elsa.


    Her body went weak from fear; her limbs trembled like dry leaves in the wind. Even clinging to John’s arm

    with all her strength, her body went so limp she nearly slipped from his embrace.
