From Betrayed Luna to Wolf Queen (Lillian) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 148 Accusation

Chapter 143 Accusation

Third–Person POV:

The smile dropped from Lillian’s face the second Julian’s words registered.

“So I’m going after her because I have issues with Iris?”

Julian shot back, “Aren’t you?”

Lillian drew a deep breath, “Fine. Whatever you say,”

Looking at Julian like this, she suddenly felt like nothing she did mattered.

How could she have forgotten?

When it came to anything involving her, his first instinct was always disbelief.

It didn’t even matter who the other person was.

Even if it wasn’t Iris.

“Sure, I set her up, I had absolutely nothing better to do than frame some random doctor.” Lillian’s voice dripped with sarcasm.

Julian’s lips pressed into a thin line. “This doesn’t benefit you at all.”

“Right. So why would I do something that gives me zero benefit?”

So he did get that it offered her nothing,

Julian went quiet,

Yeah, Why?

Could it be…

No. That wasn’t possible.

A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind. Julian didn’t know if he didn’t want to believe it or just couldn’t bring himself to.

Probably fear, right?

Fear that it might actually be true.

Chapter 145 Tension

Before, they’d encouraged her calling him “Ethan–it deepened Julian’s sense of responsibility toward his brother, making him more likely to accept Iris and the pap

But things were different now.

With Lillian turning Gilneas City upside down, even if Eleanor had the biggest heart in the world, she probably wouldn’t let those two have another shot.

Not just because of the reputational damage Julian and Iris had taken in the city.

There was also the Hayes Pack to consider.

Whether Iris‘ mother, Margaret, would survive this mess was still up in the air.

Just as Iris was about to grab Julian’s sleeve, before Julian could dodge, Eleanor stepped in and pulled Iris back.

Iris‘ hand closed on empty air. Her body went rigid.

She glanced instinctively at Eleanor, who shot her a meaningful, ice–cold look.

After that one glance, Eleanor turned her attention back to Julian. “So, Julian, what did the doctor say?”

She hit his name hard, making sure Iris heard.

Watching this play out, the amusement in Lillian’s eyes deepened.

Just as she’d thought–Eleanor knew how to flip her script.

Back when Margaret had power, Iris could do no wrong, and Eleanor had no objections.

But now, with Margaret’s influence crumbling, Iris wasn’t quite so precious anymore, was she?

Julian frowned. “We need to find Dr. Gareth.”

Iris‘ voice shook. “Then find him. Whatever it takes, we can’t let anything happen to the pup, Eth-”

Before she could finish the syllable, Eleanor shot her another warning look.

Iris swallowed the rest.

Her chest felt tight, suffocating, but faced with Eleanor’s commanding presence, she didn’t dare push back.

Chapter 143 Accusation

I’d already made sure of that.

And I felt pretty good about it.

Helen opened her mouth to try again. “But you should really-”

“Helen.”

I cut her off, my gaze sharp as I looked at her.

“Just focus on your job.”

I knew Helen meant well.

But right now, I didn’t want to hear anyone defending Julian.

Women know for themselves whether a man’s worth it or not.

Julian came back downstairs not long after.

Dressed in a sharp suit, clearly heading out.

He was carrying an overcoat.

When he saw me on the couch, he walked straight over, pulled me up, and wrapped the coat around my shoulders.

I shoved at him. “What are you doing?”

He was going out–fine. But now he wanted to drag me along?

Third–Person POV:

Julian had genuinely been driven crazy by Lillian.

These days, whenever he left her side, no matter how many guards he posted, she always managed to vanish from his world.

So now, whenever he had to go out, no matter where, she came with him.

Lillian’s POV:

I struggled, but Julian just pulled me toward the door.

“You lunatic, where are you taking me?”

At the entrance, he stopped. “Change your shoes

“No.”

I didn’t even hesitate.
