The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 636

636 A Monster’s Devotion

In his mind, she was just an enemy.

“It really hurts…”

Seeing Mergan remain silent, Mathilda assumed he was softening. She put on a frail, delicate act, supporting herself on a nearby table as she rose and touched her head in pain.

“Lily kept hitting my head with that glass. It hurts so much… hurts…”

Smack!

Mathilda blinked, and clear tears rolled down her cheeks.

She knew her brothers could never stand to see her cry.

She had assumed that since she was the one wronged this time, Mergan would relent if she just cried pitifully enough.

She never dreamed he would slap her so viciously.

Mergan was already strong, and this time, he put all his considerable strength into it.

Mathilda saw stars, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she collapsed weakly to the floor.

“Mathilda, the only thing you know how to do is frame and disgust others.”

In truth, the day he and Taylor had caught Mathilda attacking Luna, they had both wanted to send her to the police.

But Luna loved her daughter too much. Even knowing Mathilda wanted her dead, and despite her profound disappointment, she had threatened to kill herself, begging them to give Mathilda one last chance.

The more Mergan looked at Mathilda’s pathetic, feigned victim act, the more repulsed he felt.

“You tried to kill Mom… You’ve hurt Lily time and time again. How dare you cry? How dare you act pitiful?”

He unhurriedly bent down and picked up the folding knife from the floor. “You even brought a knife… What were you planning to do with this? My men are right outside; I figure you wouldn’t dare kill Lily. You wanted to disfigure her, didn’t you? Mathilda, you really deserve to die.”

“I didn’t!”

Exposed, Mathilda panicked.

She shook her head, tears streaming, as if she were the one who had been terribly wronged. “I just wanted to see how Lily was recovering… I truly never thought of hurting her…”

Mergan felt sick with disgust.

How did Mathilda have the audacity to claim she never thought of hurting Lily?

Over four years ago, she had led her friends in bullying Lily, only to twist the truth and claim Lily bullied her. Was that not hurting her?

After Lily married James, Mathilda had repeatedly slandered and framed her. Was that “concern“?

Not even an idiot would believe her.

He didn’t want to waste another breath on this disgusting maggot. He ordered his men, “Throw this animal out. She likes ruining faces, does she? Put a few cuts on hers.”

“No! You can’t do this to me!”

Mathilda was frantic.

She had come here today thinking she would get to brutalize Lily. She’d even hoped Mergan, repulsed by the “ugly monster,” would torture Lily himself.

She never dreamed that not only would she fail to gain any advantage, but Mergan would order her own face ruined.

She couldn’t bear the thought of her prized beauty being destroyed. She cried and begged him, “You’re my brother! How can you be so cruel to me? Are you so obsessed with that bitch Lily that you’d abandon your own family?”

“Shut that filthy mouth of hers.”

Hearing Mathilda dare to call Lily a bitch in front of him, Mergan’s expression turned even fouler.

He watched as his men restrained Mathilda, slapping her harder and harder until she couldn’t even speak. Only then did his expression soften slightly.

It hurts so much, you can’t do this to me…

Mathilda’s lips trembled as she screamed this inwardly over and over.
