hapter 194 A Clean Break

At the sound of Elsa’s voice, Lily finally came back to herself.

She lifted her eyes and looked at Elsa, who stood coldly before her, unwilling to yield but cloaked in an air of pitiful grievance. Then, all of a sudden, she laughed.

“Elsa, when have I ever forced Wendy into anything? It’s always been you all–determined to target me, to ruin me.”

She’d long since grown accustomed to keeping a miniature camera on her, a last line of defense. This time was no exception–and she wasn’t about to naively reveal that trump card to Elsa.

“If it hadn’t been for that camera in my car, Wendy would’ve destroyed me. With her methods, I would’ve been condemned, smeared as a criminal, and thrown behind bars for years. You were trying to cut off every path I had left, to make sure I could never rise again. And now you want my help? You think I’m some kind of saint? The evidence will be sent to the police. Criminals deserve to be punished!”

Elsa could taste blood on her tongue from how hard she was gritting her teeth.

Lily really was as selfish and vicious as she’d imagined–utterly unwilling to show mercy to her mother. She hated Lily’s hypocrisy, her ruthlessness.

She wanted nothing more than to rush over and tear that disgusting, smug face apart.

But she knew that acting on impulse now would only backfire. Lily would take the moral high ground and make her look even worse.

She didn’t have the strength to go up against the Luke family. Not yet.

So even with all her pride, she had no choice but to appear meek and let Simon and John stand up for her. She stopped speaking to Lily. Her gaze fell to the ground, her voice soft and trembling with sorrow.

“I don’t want my mom to go to jail… I don’t want her to miss being with me in her final days… What can I possibly do to save her…”

Her voice grew shakier by the second. More blood oozed from the corner of her lips. Her mouth trembled in pain–and then she collapsed to the floor, motionless.

“Elsa!”

“Lizzy!”

Both Simon and John’s expressions changed instantly as they rushed toward her.
