The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 368 The Bitter Price

Yulia was clearly terrified of going to jail.

She sobbed uncontrollably, her voice choked with panic and despair.

But to Lily, her tears weren’t the least bit pitiful. She wasn’t about to play the saint and let her off.

Yulia had already called once before, pleading to avoid detainment.

Back then, she’d put on the same heartfelt act Tull of guilt, full of tears- yet none of it had stopped her from targeting Lily again.

And now, she clearly knew Lily was pregnant.

She had drenched her in freezing water and tried to shove her off the stage- her aim was obvious: she wanted to kill Lily’s baby.

If James hadn’t shown up just in time to catch her, the baby would’ve been lost.

If things had gone worse, Lily might’ve hemorrhaged like Elsa had been forced to undergo the same surgery, or worse… she and the baby might not have survived at all.

Why should she forge any of that?

“Yulia, you led the attack against me. Don’t you think there should be consequences?”

Lily’s voice was ice–cold, every word deliberate and firm. “Getting expelled, being sued, going to jail – all of it is exactly what you deserve.”

“Lily!”

Cornered and humiliated, Yulia was seething inside.

But that’s the way people like her were if Lily had been weak and helpless, she would’ve screamed at her, maybe even threatened her with revenge.

But now that Lily stood tall, backed by real power, Yulia didn’t even dare curse at her, let alone retaliate.

Lily ended the call.
