Fight Back Against My Cheating Ex - husband . Through the dirty windshield , Lily could just barely make out Wayne and Azure sitting inside the car . She jumped out of her own vehicle and started toward the security booth to call for backup . But she'd barely taken a few steps before Wayne cracked the window and pointed in her direction . " That's my daughter ! If you're here to vent , take it out on her ! " No sooner had the words left his mouth than a rotten egg sailed through the narrow opening and landed squarely in his face . He frantically rolled up the window . Azure , panicked , cried out , " Lily , what do we do ?! " " Pfft , she's young - she can take a few hits ! Besides , what she's getting right now is nothing compared to what Henry's going through in lockup . Only when she's thrown into the flames will she realize she needs to get that case settled fast ... " Wayne muttered as he wiped egg off his mouth . The moment the mob saw who he was pointing at , they scattered from the car and charged toward Lily . None of them were actual relatives of the deceased - they were angry internet vigilantes , soaked in spite and looking for a place to dump it . Masked as justice for the dead , it was really just an outlet for all their pent - up rage . Realizing she was their new target , Lily spun around and ran . But she slammed into someone in the crowd , lost her balance , and hit the pavement hard . Vegetable leaves , water bottles , and even some sharp , unidentified object rained down on her body . Luckily , a few more security guards rushed over and blocked off the mob . They hadn't had the chance to strike her directly - just throw things . Onlookers started murmuring among themselves . Some pitied her . One even called the police . That was when the crowd finally began to scatter . Lily sat on the ground , her long black hair soaked and matted , her knees scraped and bleeding . 144 10:56 Thu , Sep 11 Jared snapped his attention back , glared at the reporters , and quickly escorted Sarah away . But before stepping into the car , he turned for one last glance toward the hospital doors . Lily was already gone . His brow furrowed tightly , remembering the way she had looked at him . " Jared , if we don't leave now , we'll miss the international conference . Two years of preparation will go up in smoke ! " Sarah said as she buckled her seatbelt , guilt etched across her face . " This is all my fault . If not for me , you wouldn't have come all the way here ." Jared's lips were set in a thin , unreadable line . After a long pause , he finally started the engine . Lily wasn't in any real danger . Just humiliated . He didn't know the details , but with the Henry case blowing up , she had no business putting herself in the public eye . It was reckless . Maybe now she'd finally learn . She hadn't reached out . Hadn't shed a single tear . He didn't need to chase after her . At least , that's what he told himself . But as he drove , his mind kept drifting back - to the look in her eyes when she stared at him from across the chaos . 274 10:56 Thu , Sep 11 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
