Beatrice looked at Julian. “Why aren’t you eating?”

Julian really didn’t dare to take a bite. He sighed. “Grandma, I’m already too worked up. I don’t need all this extra nourishment.”

“It’s just a normal midnight snack. Hurry up and eat.” Beatrice pushed.

Chapter 128 A Scene of Chaos

Julian deleted all my contacts, keeps me at a distance, and treats me worse than a stranger Julian’s face turned dark. His voice was sharp. “Lily, what’s your problem?”

Gloria rushed to calm him down. “Julian, Lily has depression. Don’t talk to her like that.”

Unighed

Jenny joined in, complaining, “I think you’re being too mean to Lily, Julian. Iris is so jealous too. Can’t Julian have female friends?”

Julian clenched his fists, glaring at the people ganging up on Iris. He snapped, “This is my business. It has nothing to do with Iris. Stop dragging her into it.”

Tears rolled down Lily’s cheeks. She begged, small and broken, “Iris, please. Let me stay friends with Julian. I won’t ruin your relationship, I promise.”

That unfair accusation felt like a weight on Iris’s chest.

Lily was good at this-too good.

She played the victim in front of others, acting small so everyone would see Iris as the bad guy.

It left both her and Julian with nothing to say.

And Lily had depression. Julian could never lay a finger on her, never even raise his voice, or he’d instantly become the bad guy.

Just then, Julian’s other relatives in the living room crowded over.

The air turned tense.

Lily leaned over, crying next to Iris. The whole thing looked like Iris was bullying her.

Iris felt more and more awkward.

Once Beatrice figured out what was happening, she stood up and snapped, “Lily, cut the emotional blackmail. Julian can choose his friends. It has nothing to do with Iris.”

Jenny mumbled, “Grandma, it does too.”

Beatrice snapped at her, “Shut your mouth.”

Jenny went quiet right away.

Just then, Frederick and the other male relatives walked over. Harold was with them.

Harold rushed over, grabbing Lily’s hand. He looked heartbroken. “Lily, you did nothing wrong. Why are you begging her?”

Lily pulled her hand away from her dad, crying harder. “Dad, I don’t want to lose Julian. We’ve been friends for over 20 years and grew up together like siblings. Iris is just misunderstanding us. If I can explain, she’ll forgive me. She won’t stop Julian and me from talking anymore.

Harold blew up. “Why beg her for forgiveness? Who does she think she is?”

Everyone started whispering and pointing at Iris.

The whole thing spiraled out of control.

Julian stood up, mad as hell. He walked to Lily, grabbed her arm roughly, and tried to drag her out.

Caleb suddenly stepped out, blocking his way. He raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Julian, all Lily wants is for you to add her back and remain friends. That’s not too much. Where are you taking her?”

Julian glared at him. “It’s none of your business. Move.”

Caleb glanced at Iris, who was sitting quietly at the dining table. He put his hands in his pockets, smirking lazily. “You think dragging Lily away will make the lies about Iris stop?”

Iris was his weak spot. Now that they were using her against him, he had no choice but to let go of Lily. Lily rubbed her sore arm, looking pitiful. “Julian, I don’t ask for much. Just take me off your blacklist.”
