Chapter 129 A Perfect Counter

Julian snapped, “Lily, get treatment if you’re sick. You can’t threaten me.”

Lily bit her lip, her eyes turning sharper. She pushed past Julian and made a beeline for Iris. Julian panicked. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back. “Are you done with this drama?”

“Julian, this isn’t a drama.” Lily started crying again. Her bitter tears made all the guys feel for her. All the elders started scolding Julian.

“Julian, don’t push it. Lily grew up right beside you, closer than any sister. How could you treat her this way?”

“Lily has depression. If you’re this cruel to her, do you want her to hurt herself?”

“Julian, you’re definitely in the wrong here.”

It went on like that.

All the elders criticized Julian. Some even took little jabs, hinting at Iris without saying her name.

That was the worst part of big families. Every elder, without knowing the whole story, wanted to flaunt their status. They loved lecturing the younger kids.

If he ticked off these relatives, Beatrice would never forgive him.

Julian knew what was at stake, but he wouldn’t back down. He’d offend every elder in the family if he had

“Shut all of you up.” Julian’s voice was cold as ice. Everyone froze, shocked. He held nothing back. “You all…”

Iris couldn’t stay quiet anymore. She stood up, walked fast to Julian, and grabbed his hand right as he was about to keep talking. “Julian.” She shook her head, telling him to stop.

She’d thought that after the divorce, she and Julian would be strangers. His love, his friendships, his family

-none of it should matter to her anymore.

But Lily had gone too far.

She used his relatives to pressure him, played the victim to force him to give in, and embarrassed her while she was at it.

Iris watched Lily cry and let out a cold laugh. She was frustrated, but there was nothing she could do. Julian’s body stiffened a little. His eyes fell to her hand, then slowly lifted to meet Iris’s calm, pretty eyes. Iris spoke softly. “Give me your phone.”

Julian’s anger melted away. He didn’t ask any questions. He pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and handed

it to her.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Iris.

Iris took the villain label Lily had stuck on her and owned it. “Lily, you’re right. I was being too petry. I shouldn’t have stopped you from seeing Julian.”

Lily was stunned. She froze, not knowing how to react.

Julian’s face darkened. He looked at Iris, confused.

Iris found Lily’s name on Julian’s blacklist. She spoke in a firm, teaching tone. “But Lily, don’t lie to me like that again. Telling me you and Julian shared the same water, the same food, the same clothes, and even the same bed. We’re both women. Who wouldn’t get upset after hearing that?”

As soon as Iris said that, Lily’s face turned bright red. She felt angry, embarrassed, and ashamed all at

once.

Everyone in the room was shocked, their mouths hanging open.

After all, those words sounded like total provocation to any woman with a husband.

Lily, who’d been playing the victim, suddenly became the one in the wrong.

And Iris, who’d been labeled the villain, got everyone’s understanding.

Any wife would misunderstand. Blocking a girl who acted that flirty was totally reasonable.

Beatrice saw Iris turn the tables and quickly took charge. “Lily, how could you make up such silly lies to break them apart?”

Lily panicked, tears pouring down her face. She hurried to explain, “I didn’t… I didn’t lie.”

Iris cut her off right away. “I believe you and Julian are just friends. And I accept that apology you gave earlier.”

Saying she accepted the apology was a direct slap in the face. It proved Lily had been lying.

Lily bit her lip, tears in her eyes, and couldn’t say a word.
