The Broken Warrior's Daughter

Chapter 629

Lily looked around, taking in the circle of onlookers.

When she saw that everyone was watching with a look of anticipation for the drama, and not a single person intended to speak up for her, her heart sank.

Noticing Lily, the main party involved, looking at them, a hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the surrounding crowd.

"What are you looking at us for, Miss Lily? Surely you don't want to kneel and apologize to Miss Harriet, do you? After all, it was you who proposed the bet. Tsk tsk, you can't afford to lose, right?"

"Losing isn’t an option for the lady of the Lynch family, is it? I think Miss Lily believes that Miss Harriet actually cheated and is still deluded into thinking she did nothing wrong. How shameless she is!"

Listening to the sarcastic comments from the crowd, Lily felt like crying. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her hands clenched into fists, looking pitiful enough to evoke sympathy.

But no one present felt any compassion for her.

Lily was about to make another excuse to clear her name.

But Delbert seemed to see right through Lily's thoughts.

His icy gaze, with a hint of threat, slowly shifted towards Lily.

When Delbert saw that Lily still hadn't knelt to apologize to Harriet, his cold voice came from not too far away.

"Kneel and apologize or die, Lily, you choose!"

Delbert's deep, beautiful eyes seemed to tell Lily that he wouldn’t show mercy because of her brother's past friendship with him if she didn’t apologize to Harriet.

Remembering her brother's mention of Delbert's ruthless reputation in the business world, Lily was scared out of her wits.

Delbert's overpowering presence kept assaulting her, almost suffocating her.

Unable to bear the pressure, Lily decisively knelt down and through gritted teeth eked out a few words.

"I'm sorry, Miss Harriet. I was wrong."

But even though she had knelt down to apologize, she was still very unwilling.

Delbert, this noble and proud man, why would he fall for Harriet?

And to be so infatuated with Harriet.

Just because Harriet wanted her to kneel and apologize, Delbert threatened her with her life over his friendship with her brother, Liam, just to make her kneel!

Such a noble and proud man like Delbert...

Only she could possess him, and only she was worthy of him!

She was determined to take Delbert back from Harriet's hands!

And she was determined to get revenge on Harriet!

Wait a second...

Lily suddenly seemed to remember something, a sinister and gloomy look flashing in her eyes.

With her head bowed low, no one saw the expression on her face, nor did anyone notice the slight curl of her lips.

That smile from Lily was profound, filled with malice and venom.

As long as she could succeed in this matter.

Harriet would never have a chance to turn things around!

But before she could accomplish this task, she needed to contact a few more people.

After apologizing and seeing that no one paid her any attention, Lily quickly stood up and left the gems trading center with her head down.

No one tried to stop her.

Everyone looked at her as if they were watching a joke.

This drama was like a minor interlude, something that could help them get closer to Harriet.

The real business was still getting their hands on that piece of jewel.
