The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 634

er 634 A Desperate Gamble

She wanted to get back to James, and risking a criminal record over scum like Mathilda wasn’t

worth it.

Hearing this, Mathilda trembled violently with rage.

She twisted her face and opened her mouth. She wanted to scream and curse at Lily, but she was terrified Lily might actually disfigure her. She, who had always preyed on the weak, suddenly found she didn’t dare make a sound.

Lily kicked her again, hard.

To make sure she couldn’t try anything, Lily knocked her out cold with the heavy glass.

Wasting no time, she immediately opened Mathilda’s handbag, checking for a phone.

It wasn’t in her bag.

Lily quickly knelt and began searching her coat pockets.

She finally found the phone in Mathilda’s overcoat.

The phone used a fingerprint scanner.

Lily grabbed Mathilda’s hand and quickly unlocked the screen.

The thought that she would finally be able to contact James made her fingers tremble uncontrollably.

She knew James’s number by heart.

She quickly dialed the number.

“Lily, what are you doing? Who are you trying to call?”

Almost the instant Lily finished dialing, the door was thrown open. Mergan strode in and snatched the phone from her hand.

“Give me back my phone!”

Lily was desperate,

She had been so close, so incredibly close to reaching James.

She couldn’t stand having the hope she’d finally grasped crushed by Mergan. She lunged for the

phone.

“Lily, you’re not behaving.”

Mergan hung up the call, his eyes swirling with a suffocating gloom.

“I told you, you are mine. You will spend this life only with me. Stop thinking about James, or

else…”

“Mergan, let me leave!”

Before he could finish, Lily suddenly gripped the folding knife and pressed the sharp tip firmly against her own throat.

She would have rather plunged the knife into Mergan’s heart.

But she knew she was no match for him. Even with a knife, she had little chance of hurting him. If she attacked, he would simply take the weapon, and she would lose her only leverage.

She knew Mergan didn’t want her to die.

Using her own life as a threat was her only chance to see James again.

“Lily…” Mergan’s expression changed instantly.

Seeing the sharp tip draw a clear red line on her pale neck, Mergan lost his usual composure.

There was a clear tremor in his voice. “Lily, don’t do anything stupid. Give me the knife…”

Lily wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t giving him the knife.

She held it tighter, enunciating every word. “Let me go! If you insist on keeping me here, you’ll only have my corpse!”

“Lily, don’t be impulsive…”

Mergan wanted to lunge forward and grab the knife.

But bright red blood was already welling from the cut. Fearing he would provoke her, Mergan didn’t dare make a sudden move. He could only try to placate her.

“Don’t hurt yourself… I know I’ve done many things that made you sad and disappointed. But four years ago, if you had come to Mergan for help, he wouldn’t have ignored you. Lily, don’t be angry with Mergan anymore. He will love you more than anyone. Let’s just be together, alright?”

Mergan’s words were spoken with deep emotion, but Lily wasn’t moved in the slightest.

Four years ago, when she was being bullied by Mathilda and the others… if she had asked him for help, he wouldn’t have ignored her?

How ridiculous. He had been one of her bullies. They had all ground her into the mud, only to pretend to offer a helping hand, watching her submit, watching her beg. What was the point of
