The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 373 The Liar’s Game

James stood frozen, his face pale as ash. After a long silence, he stepped forward and kicked Megan hard

across the face.

“Speak. Who sent you to hurt Lily?”

Megan was too dazed with pain to answer.

His plan had been simple: kill Lily’s unborn child, then escape. Even if he got caught, his psychiatric certificate meant he could dodge all consequences,

He hadn’t expected to be overpowered so quickly in the hospital lobby – hadn’t expected James to beat him so badly he couldn’t even crawl.

Truth was, Megan didn’t know the mastermind’s identity. A fully disguised man – face and figure hidden – had approached him, handed him half a million in cash as a down payment, and asked him to do the job.

The remaining half would be paid the same way, once the mission was done.

Megan had crippling gambling debts. The loan sharks had threatened to break his limbs if he didn’t repay them soon.

That money had been a godsend. And with a mental illness diagnosis in hand, he thought he’d walk away untouched. Of course he’d said yes.

“What happened?” Megan suddenly whined, forcing down his fear of James. He slipped into character the perfect act of the unhinged.

“Huh? Why is there blood on me? Did I black out again? Did my condition flare up and I hurt people? I–I deserve to die!”

He slammed his head against the ground, clawed at himself, flailed with practiced drama.

James’s eyes turned glacial. A storm brewed around him.

Megan had injured several people today – but James was sure his real target was Lily.

Without hesitation, James kicked him again. Megan screamed and curled up on the ground, sobbing, but still didn’t say a word of value.
