Chapter 144

• Lily’s POV
• "Keep dreaming." I don’t even look up. My finger lands directly on the file I’m looking for. My voice is cold as steel, full of pure hatred. "Daisy Quain has tried time and again to ruin me, and has become even more despicable with every attempt. I will never accept this. She will pay for everything she’s done—she can rot in a cell. And you, Grace—tonight yo t set this whole trap for me and set that animal John Palmer on me. He almost killed me. I’ll hold you accountable, too. I won’t just let this slide."
• "Lily!" The moment I call him an animal again, a vein bulges at John’s temple. His face contorts into something demonic. He lunges at me, a large hand shooting toward my arm, trying to tear me from Ethan’s embrace. "Right now! Apologize to Grace!"
