The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263 Don’t Open That Door

“Lily, how dare you! How dare you betray me like this!”

John’s face was so dark it looked as though ink might drip from it; his fists clenched so tight they cracked. He suddenly yanked Elsa’s hand off his arm and stormed up the stairs.

Mary’s brows drew into a deep frown.

Is John out of his mind Lily was now married to her nephew. In what world is that a betrayal to him? But her worry for Lily left no room for irritation toward John. Steadying herself, she quickly followed him upstairs.

“If anyone dares take photos of my sister–in–law tonight–if anyone dares spread this around, they’ll be making enemies with the Luke family!”

Ivan was deeply worried about Lily. His face was cold as he threw down those words. His fingertips trembled: his whole body radiated pain as he headed upstairs.

Simon didn’t want to see Lily tangled up with another man

The moment he heard about her seducing an old guy, it felt like a knife in his chest. Still, seeing Ivan and the others heading up, he followed too.

The person enjoying all of this the most was Elsa.

How could she possibly miss out on something this entertaining?

She let out a fake sigh of pity, then followed Yvonne toward the second–floor lounge.

Mathilda and her three older brothers had also come to the Bale family estate tonight.

She and Yvonne were two peas in a pod; they got along famously.

As soon as Yvonne got wind of the “good news” from the servants, she couldn’t wait to share it with her.

The three Ginger brothers were in the rear plum garden, getting some air, so they hadn’t heard Yvonne’s shrieking.

Mathilda knew her brothers had never quite let go of Lily. She dreanted of the day they’d finally be disgusted by her. This is the perfect opportunity.

She rushed from the lotus pond nearby to the plum grove, her dewy eyes wide with worry and anxiety.

“Guys, something terrible just happened!”

“Mathilda, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

“Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone hurt you.

“Was it Lily again? She’s always picking on you. If she messed with you again, Third Brother won’t let her get away with it!”

“She didn’t bully me.”

Chapter 263 Don’t Open That Door

As soon as Mathilda spoke, tears streamed down her porcelain face like pearls, as if she were truly heartbroken and concerned for Lily

She sniffled, then continued, “Just now, I overheard someone say that Lily… she was upstairs in the lounge, in bed with some rich old man. Everyone’s heading to the lounge now. If they actually see her in bed with him, her reputation will be ruined. What can I do to help her? Guys, I’m begging you–please do something. We can’t let her name be destroyed like this.”

“What?”

The three Ginger brothers gasped at the same time.

Bodger’s expression turned pitch–black; his sharp, cold eyes grew dangerously stormy–like a hurricane about to break.

He’d been disappointed in Lily for a while now, for not knowing how to be grateful, for always hurting kind, innocent Mathilda,

But the bond they’d shared for over ten years wasn’t fake. Deep down, he’d always hoped Lily would come to her senses, apologize sincerely, and return to the Ginger family.

In truth, in the deepest part of his heart, he still saw her as his little sister.

He couldn’t accept that the warm, obedient girl she once was could turn into some promiscuous tramp who’d sleep with anyone!

Taylor’s handsome face had darkened to charcoal.

He couldn’t accept that Lily would do something so low, so shameful, so utterly revolting.

Sean, unable to contain his rage, punched the tree trunk beside him with full force.

Ever since he stopped suppressing his feelings for Lily, his desire for her–his need to possess her, had only grown stronger by the day.

When James stood up for Lily, it had made him bitter, jealous beyond reason.

But recently, he’d learned that James and Lily had filed for divorce. He realized James no longer wanted her, and that brought his obsessive heart a sliver of relief.

He’d been waiting for that divorce..

Waiting for her to be kicked out of the Luke family, left with nowhere to go, and finally forced to crawl back to the Ginger family, begging them to take her in.

When that day came, she’d belong to him, and him alone. No one else in her world.

He couldn’t believe she’d pull something like this before finalizing the divorce. How could she? She would pay for disobeying me.

“She’s cheating during her marriage. If the Luke family finds out, James will never forgive her! How is she supposed to live after this? We have to help her… we have to…”

All three Ginger brothers were desperate to find Lily. None of them had the time or energy to praise

Mathilda’s kindness or forgiveness.

45 Free Col

Each of them wore an expression worse than the last. No one said another word. They all clenched their fists and, radiating pure, lethal fury, marched toward the banquet hall building….

Not long after, John, Simon, Ivan, and the others arrived outside the lounge.

The banquet hall building at the Bale residence was located behind the main residence.
