After the Cold Marriage His Crazy Love (Iris and Julian) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Regret and Exposure

She forced a smile, pushed Zoe away, and tried to sound calm. “It’s fine… Let’s get back to work. Let him think what he wants. It doesn’t matter. Lily’s important to him, but you’re important to me.”

Zoe’s eyes turned red.

She felt bad for Iris, and she hated that Lily had turned the tables on them.

But what could she do?

Julian and Lily shared a drink. They had no shame and they would never think they did anything wrong.

They’d just think she and Iris were making a big deal out of nothing.

She was so angry!

But there was nothing she could do.

She had to pull herself together and get back to work.

On the busy street, the car drove smoothly.

Lily was still sniffling, complaining in a wronged tone. “We’re both girls. I never thought they’d slander me like this. If they had a problem, why didn’t they talk to me directly? Being nice to my face, but talking behind my back…”

The veins on Julian’s hand holding the steering wheel popped out. “Lily, are you done?”

Lily looked at him, eyes wide with hurt. “Am I done? I just got so wronged, and you’re yelling at me?”

Julian snapped, “If I hadn’t taken you away, would you have set up a stage at Iris’s booth and kept putting on a show? Would you only be happy if everyone at the expo thought they were bullying you and ruined their show?”

an unmarried girl, and Lily looked indignant. “They were bullying me! Are they scared I’ll make a scene? I’ they spread rumors about me, saying we had an indirect kiss. Aren’t they in the wrong?”

Julian scoffed, his face cold. “Why did you drink my water?”

“I already explained to Iris. I grabbed the wrong one by accident. And she didn’t even mind. How was I supposed to know her best friend would lose her mind?”

“Didn’t mind!” Julian’s voice dropped, repeating those words with a hint of sourness and self-mockery.

Suddenly, he turned the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

He leaned back in his seat, exhausted, and took a deep breath.

Lily swallowed nervously and leaned over. “Are you okay?”

“If you really grabbed the wrong bottle, why would Zoe be sarcastic to me?” Julian looked up at the rearview mirror, his cold eyes staring at Lily. The anger in his eyes was still boiling.

“How would I know?” Lily whined. “She just doesn’t like you!”
