Chapter 269 You Call That an Apology

She had a strong hunch that the masterminds behind tonight’s setup were likely Wendy and Elea. The mother–daughter pair had always been meticulous; even if the maid had reported back that Lily had taken the bait, Wendy and Elsa would still want to check for themselves, just to be absolutely sure. And that was the moment Lily had been waiting for.

She’d guessed right. Before long, Wendy had quietly pushed open the lounge door.

There was a potted plant inside the room. Lily had considered knocking Wendy out with it, but worried it would leave too much of a trace. So she decided to wait until Wendy stepped fully into the room and, like in the movies, struck her in the back of the neck with all her strength.

Her first blow didn’t knock Wendy out.

Wendy sensed something was wrong and started to turn around to see who had ambushed her, but then James walked in and knocked her out cold with a precise chop to the neck.

James had someone bring Lily a clean evening gown.

After dragging Wendy onto the bed, Lily used her fingerprint to unlock her phone and sent Elsa a simple “OK” text. Then she left the lounge and crossed the hall to change her clothes.

If Wendy hadn’t meant to harm anyone, even if James had knocked her out, she could’ve made it through the night unscathed.

But if she had come with bad intentions…

Then whatever happened next, she brought it on herself.
