The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 40 Apologize or Say Goodbye to Your Allowance

Lily replied, “Yvonne; you clearly framed me, what gives you the right to act like the victim? You rabid dogs really do love biting people at random, huh?”

Ivan nearly choked from laughing at that.

He couldn’t help chiming in, “Ignoring your symptoms isn’t going to cure anything. If you’ve got rabies, better go get your shots! Or yank out those dog teeth before you bite anyone else!”

“You wench!”

The moment Lily called her a rabid dog–and Ivan actually laughed at her–Yvonne lost it.

She didn’t dare lash out at Ivan, so all her fury landed squarely on Lily.

She raised her hand and swung hard at Lily’s face. “You tried to ruin me! I won’t let you off!”

But Lily wasn’t about to stand there and take it.

Back when she loved John with her whole heart, she’d tolerated Yvonne’s tantrums just because of that love.
