James continued, “But you still chose to side with the bullies, You beat up Lily, tore at her clothesb, /bbdumped /bbucket after bucket of ice water on her, and even pushed her off the stage. You knew it was wrong band /bbdid /bit anyway. How could you possibly im you’re innocent? As far as I’m concerned, ignorance is no excuse. With me, there’s no such thing as ‘just going along with the crowd. The surveince footage bcaught /beverything crystal clear. Every single person who hurt my wife—I’ming after all of you. bExpect /bba /bcourt summons soon!”

She knew he wasn’t saying those things because he loved her–he just had a strong sense of right band /bwrong. He couldn’t stand what Elsa and the others did.

But hearing him call her his wife over and over again, feeling the warmth of his arms wrapped tight around her–it made her heart pound uncontrobly.

But even if that were true, she couldn’t let go of thefort and strength in his arms. She pressed her cheek tighter against his chest, clinging to him instinctively.

Seeing that James was dead serious about pressing charges, Yulia and the others went pale with fear.

The people she hired started panicking, “We didn’t mean to hurt Lily! Yulia gave us 300 bucks to stir things up and target her.”

“Yeah, she told us we wouldn’t get in trouble if everyone did it together. That’s the only reason we agreed- for 300 bucks.”

Yulia’s so–called best friends didn’t hesitate to throw her under the bus.

All they wanted now was to stay out of trouble. They rushed to pin the me elsewhere.

“Yulia tricked us! She said it was just a prank when she had us dump ice water on Lily.”

“It was all Yulia! Mr. Luke, we’re just students. Please don’t send us to jail!”

Yulia was stunned.

She never thought the girls who used to be so tight with her would turn so fast.

All she could do now was shift the me to Elsa.

Elsapletely lost it.

She couldn’t believe Yulia, that idiot, actually turned on her!

And once Yulia spoke up, the crowd turned on Elsa. People were calling her sick, twisted, and evil. shouting that James should sue her and make sure she went away for good.

Elsa’s vision cked out. Her head spun.

Panic, rage, and bitterness twisted her insides. The whole world felt like it was spinning.

Then a sharp, ripping pain shot through her stomach. Her body jerked, and she copsed to the ground. motionlessb. /b

“Lizzy!”

Seeing her pass out cold, Simon’s face drained of color.

He didn’t care if Jamie punched him anymore. He rushed forward and shouted iat /ithe stunned John, “What the h*ll are you waiting for? Lizzy’s passed out! Get her to a hospital!”

John didn’t respond. He just walked forward, step by step, until he stood in front of iLily/i. “Lily… I didn’t know Elsa was behind it again tonight. I…

He covered his face with both hands, bending over like he couldn’t bear the weight of ithe /iguilt. Clutching his chest, he sucked in several shaky breaths before he finally said in a hoarse voice, “I don’t care that James has touched you. If youe back to me, none of that matters. I was drunk that night… I slept with Elsa. We both betrayed each other. Let’s call it even. Just…e back to me. Let’s start over.”

“John, keep dreaming.” James tightened his hold on Lily and refused to back down. “Why would my wife ever go back ito /iyou? You slept with Elsa, so take responsibility for her. The two of you make a perfect pair of liars and cheats. Honestly, I can’t think of a more perfect match.”

Even with James’s coat draped around her shoulders, iLily /iwas still shivering. Her face had gonepletely pale. James didn’t waste another second on John. He tightened his grip on Lily and carried her out of the theater without looking back.

“Lily…”
