The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 4 They All Forced Lily to Apologize to Elsa

As if realizing something, John let out a cold laugh.

So that’s what this was–Lily was throwing a tantrum and threatening him with a resignation. Playing hard to get, was she?

He knew better than anyone how much she wanted to be his personal assistant.

She’d buttered him up for days just to land that role.

If he really approved her resignation, she’d be the first to panic.

She needed a lesson–to understand she had gone too far this time.

“Sign it.”

After letting out that icy aura, John added coldly, “And when you do, tell her–if she resigns, she better never come back.”

Wayne shrank his neck.

He wanted to say Lily seemed completely determined this time, like she never intended to come back at all.

But the killing intent radiating from John was too terrifying, so he kept quiet.

He just nodded and respectfully went to sign off on her resignation.

Once Wayne signed, Lily quickly completed all her paperwork and left the company.

Almost the moment she got back to the hotel, a message came in from John.

“Come to Flora Club.”

Flora Club–the place John always took his friends for drinks and parties.

Lily had broken up with him. She had no intention of going.

She was about to refuse when another message followed:

“If you still want your parents‘ keepsake, be in front of me in half an hour.”

Lily desperately wanted to get that pendant back. She didn’t dare delay and rushed to Flora Club.

Inside the private room, Elsa and several of John’s close friends were already there.

When Lily pushed open the door, she immediately saw John seated in the center of a deep red leather couch, Elsa curled up beside him.

Elsa lifted her chin proudly, striking and radiant as ever.

John sat protectively at her side, every movement full of tenderness and care.

Lily felt a sharp sting behind her eyes.

But she had come for a reason. She swallowed the bitterness and stepped inside.

“Apologize to Elsa!”

The moment John saw her, he slammed his glass down at her feet.

“How dare you send thugs after Elsa to steal the pendant? If Simon hadn’t happened to pass by and save her, she would’ve been assaulted by those animals!”

His friends all jumped in, shouting their indignation.

“Hey, you, that was too much!”

“We get that you’re jealous of Elsa, but this? You can’t just send people to attack her!”

“Apologize to Elsa now. Maybe if she lets it go, John will still forgive you!”
