The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

hapter 26 Blood, Fire, and Fury

“There were also some extreme netizens who cornered Ms. Lily and started hurling insults–and garbage -at her.” Wayne said as he pulled up the video on his phone.

John glanced down and saw a crowd surrounding Lily. Banana peels, rotten eggs, apple cores, soda, milk tea… all thrown at her from every direction.

Her face was completely smeared by rotten eggs. Milk tea and soda had soaked her hair. Someone even hurled a full, unopened bottle of water at her head, It hit her hard enough to make her stumble, nearly collapsing to the ground.

John’s fingers clenched tighter and tighter. He wanted nothing more than to grind every one of those attackers into dust.

There was already a swollen lump forming on her forehead–she was clearly hurt.

“Find them!”

The pain blooming wildly in his chest made it impossible to keep watching.

He barked at Wayne, “I want detailed information on every single one of them! Notify Legal. I’m pursuing this all the way!”

The air around John was sharp with fury. It was cold–deadly cold–and terrifying.

But Wayne secretly let out a breath of relief.

He’d always felt that John’s favoritism toward Elsa was misplaced. Seeing him finally standing up for Ms. Lily was a welcome sight.

After all, during John’s hardest years, it had been Lily who stayed by his side.

Elsa claimed her family had forced her to break up with John four years ago, even sent her overseas against her will–but who really knew the truth?

“Boss, maybe you should call Ms. Lily?”

Wayne, always concerned about his boss’s happiness, mustered the courage to suggest, “She’s been humiliated like this… she probably really needs you right now.”

“Mm.”
