Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 287

"So, if I kill you, that should do it," Lily said, almost casually, as if discussing what to have for breakfast.

The situation had deteriorated into a standoff between three powerful factions.

Princess Harriet turned her gaze to me. "Claire Floyd, you have a choice to make. Is it Lily or the Goodwin sisters?"

Caught off guard, I raised two fingers in defiance. "Both. I refuse to choose."

Harriet smirked, lightly tapping a knife against Lily's cheek. "I'll give you one more chance. Choose wrong, and I'll carve a new smile into her face."

But Lily's fierce gaze locked onto mine, silently urging me to stand firm.

Here I was, a nobody, being forced to decide amidst these powerful forces. I chuckled derisively, gesturing around. "Princess Harriet, do you really think killing Lily and the Goodwin sisters will allow you to walk out of here alive? Silas and Garrett aren't exactly your fans, are they? They're here for you, not to play nice."

I kept my voice calm, hiding how much Lily meant to me.
