He’d once clung to a despicable hope: that since Lily was carrying his child, he still had a chance.

He wanted to keep her by his side, no matter what.

But watching her now, doting on Jackson with such warmth, he finally understood–his forced affection would only bring her pain.

If he tried to make her stay, she wouldn’t be happy.

“You really have no shame!”

Jackson’s rage exploded.

James had gotten Lily pregnant–and still forced her into a divorce.

She’d even gone as far as to hire an actor to pose as a fake boyfriend, just to help him save face in front of the Luke family.

Jackson’s fury boiled over.

He gently let go of Lily, then spun around and punched James in the face, hard.

“You treat her like this and call yourself a man?”

James was more than capable of defending himself. He could’ve fought back.

And Jackson, the once–unruly young master of the Scott family, would’ve paid the price.

James wasn’t the kind of man to enjoy getting beaten up.

But he didn’t lift a finger to defend himself.
