Chapter 447 Never Forgive


    Quincy squeezed her eyes shut in humiliation, tears streaming down her cheeks. Another vicious kick from Patrick made her flinch, and she struggled to move, knees buckling before she copsed heavily onto the floor.


    “Lily, we used to be best friends.. we were even ssmates. Moore Corp and Abraham oup can’t go bankrupt.. I’m begging you, for the sake of the good times we had, don’t hold this against me. Please forgive me just this once, Earlier–carlier when I humiliated you, I was just being foodsh. I regret it much now. I swear I’ll never dare <b>provoke </b>you again. Please give me one more chance. Ask Mr. James to let me go… I’m begging you…”


    Quincy’s voice broke <b>with </b>solis, her expression pitiful to the extreme.


    But Lily knew her too well. Quincy’s nature hadn’t changed–she was only <b>c </b>James’s retaliation and the fall from <b>grace</b>, not because she truly regretted anything.


    Lily had no use for her fake apologies or crocodile tears.


    because she feared


    “Quincy, you and I stopped being friends the moment Mathilda returned–when you didn’t hesitate to stab me in the back, joining forces with her to bully me. From that day on, we were destined to be


    enemies.


    She paused, then added, “I will never <b>forgive </b>you. Not for the bullying you and the others put me through back then, and not for starting trouble today. Never.”


    “You…”


    Quincy was seething. She had already admitted fault, yet Lily still pressed her without mercy. She wanted to leap up and tear her apart.


    But James was right there, openly protecting Lily. No matter how much Quincy burned with hatred, she didn’t darey a finger on her now.


    Forcing down the rage boiling in her chest, she choked out, “I really know I was wrong. Please don’t destroy mepletely, 1-


    “Get out.”


    The mess of spilled matcha milkshake on the floor near Quincy’s feet made the scene even <b>more </b>disgusting. With her crawling and moving about, her shoes and the floor around her were smeared <b>with </b>the sticky mess


    Seeing her still crouched there sobbing, making no move to leave, James’s eyes darkened. He didn’t want her disgusting presence anywhere near Lily, and he certainly didn’t want it affecting the baby. He turned to his men, who were standing respectfully nearby.


    “Throw her out. From now on, she’s banned from entering any Luke Corp mall or store.”


    <b>“</b>James…”


    Hearing this, Quincy’s whole body trembled. When Lily called his name, she thought Lily might <b>have </b>softened and felt a flicker of hope-


    Tub/ Mon, 18 Aug.


    Chapter 447 Never Forgive


    Only to hear her <b>say</b>, “Back then, <b>when </b>she and Mathilda and Zhou Lili bullied me, she always liked to record it. I want every single video she has.”


    Lily had long since lost any hope for her adoptive parents <b>and </b>her three adoptive brothers; she would never have anything to do with them again.


    But she despised how they always stood on the moral high ground to condemn her for “bullying Mathilda She wanted to throw those videos in their faces so they could never again use her or try to morally shackle her.


    Hearing her speak of being bullied, James felt a sharp, wrench ng pain in his chest.


    He took her hand, fingers intertwining with hers, his gaze warm anddy when his eyes shifted to Quincy, all that warmth turned to a chill that


    alle tenderness. But


    bone.


    “Quincy, before tonight, hand over all the videos you recorded of Mathilda bullying Lily. Give them to


    Ashton.”


    His voice was cold enough to make anyone’s skin prickle. “If you don’t deal with the consequences yourself.”


    “Mr. James, I’ve never bullied Lily. I’ve never recorded any videos… Lily, we’re friends! You said it yourself -you’d never abandon me as a friend! Please tell Mr. James to let me go… please.”


    Quincy wailed, refusing to admit what she’d done.


    But it didn’t matter. James knew that once word spread that she’d offended him, whether she wanted to <b>hand </b>them over or not, her parents and brothers would drag <b>those </b>videos out–breaking her legs if they had to–and deliver them to him with all the respect in the world.


    Soon enough, James’s men threw both Quincy and Patrick <b>out </b>into the mall.


    The more Patrick thought about Quincy’s stupidity today, the more his fury boiled Right there in public<b>, </b>with peopleing and going, he grabbed her hair and kicked her without restraint.


    Quincy, terrified of being beaten to death, fought back on instinct–making <b>his </b>already broken wrist even


    Worse


    They both lost controlpletely, ending up battered, humiliated, and sent to the hospital.


    Once the two of them were gone, the store fell into peace again.


    Before long, the staff had cleaned the floor, and James patiently stayed by Lily’s side as she browsed the disys.


    She ended up buying the pair of violet diamond earrings.


    Trying them on, she saw how the color brought out her skin tone beautifully.


    Nancy’s skin was fair, her waist slender, her legs long–astriking beauty. On her, those violet earrings would be stunning
