“Afraid your real daughter would fall into a pit, so you sent your adopted one to take her place. And now that your real daughter wants back in, you’re trying to force the adopted one to get divorced…..

“I don’t like women who are fake, selfish, and two–faced. There’s no way I’d ever marry Mathilda.

Mathilda went pale.

This was the first time they’d met as adults, and she’d done everything right–how could he insult her like this?

It had to be that shameless bitch Lily slandering her behind her back. That was the only reason he would think so poorly of her!

Luna and Bodger hadn’t expected James to disregard all their childhood memories and turn the story around like that–demeaning someone as “wonderful” as Mathilda. Their expressions darkened.

But the Luke family couldn’t be happier with what he said.

Henry, especially, was beaming like he’d just drunk two pounds of honey.

He’d been worried his oldest grandson was still set on divorcing Lily–but now that James was defending her, things were looking up.

Lily was just as surprised.

She thought that after Luna’s vicious accusations, James would see her as a snake, a piece of trash–just like so many others had.
