Chapter 139

• Lily’s POV
• Grace lifted her tear-filled gaze and pleaded with a trembling voice: "But… but I’m sure she didn’t mean it that way! She just lost her mind for a moment! She was blinded by rage! Lily, I’m begging you… I’m pleading with you to give her one last chance, okay? Please?" Her voice was soft and fragile, that pleading tone only a delicate, sickly beauty could pull off.
• "Give her a chance?" I stared at her pathetic little act and felt nothing but revulsion and icy scorn. "So she can plan the next attack? So she can go straight after my life?" I took a step forward, closing the distance, my gaze sharp as a blade. "Grace, stop the hypocrisy. My only regret is that the court proceedings are moving so damn slowly. Otherwise, I’d already have Daisy Quain behind cold iron bars."
