Chapter 79 Draw the Line

“Don’t listen to them! Lily’s a good person–she’s nothing like what they’re saying!“.

“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!

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.
