I'll Stand Tall While Your Clan Falls Chapter 9
Jerry's POVLily's expression froze. She stood rooted to the spot, her eyes filled with intense disbelief."But I truly know I was wrong. Did all those years together mean nothing to you?"I waved my hand dismissively and said impatiently, "Oh, so now the years we spent together matter to you? Why didn't you think of them when you were cheating on me? And now you turn around and point fingers at me?"Besides, you've never shown any real remorse from the beginning. Even right now, you don't actually think you did anything wrong. Rather, you've just realized your family is about to lose everything because of your reckless, despicable behavior!"With that, I paid her no further attention. I glanced at my watch and then summoned security to escort Lily out.As I watched her struggle and thrash while being dragged away, all I felt was bitter irony.Everyone knew how well I used to treat her. Had she even so much as condemned Cecil's actions a little, I would have settled the matter f

Third-Person POVLily finally realized then that the only reason Jerry had ever put her on a pedestal, surrounded and adored by all, was because she had been his fiancee. Apart from that title, she was nothing. Jerry used to guard her ego like it was priceless. Now any of his junior assistants could trample all over it.In that moment, it finally dawned on her that Jerry had really dumped her for good.The moment this hit her, a surge of fury and distress overwhelmed her. And with one choked breath, she collapsed and fainted on the spot.But no matter how much Hugh wailed and wept, there was no way Jerry would ever turn back for a woman who had soiled herself.When Lily came to, Hugh immediately delivered another ringing slap across her face.Then, he jabbed his finger at her face and roared, "Because of your affair with your own uncle, not only have we become the laughingstock of all Starworth, but our entire family has been utterly destroyed. Are you satisfied now?"I always k

Third-Person POV"You're right, Cecil. What can Jerry actually do to us? All of this is just empty threats. Given our family's vast and established empire, I really don't think he can touch us."Since he had the gall to treat us like this, then I certainly don't mind going down fighting and taking him out with me. He wants to go to war? He can bring it on!"At that thought, Lily's gaze hardened.What Lily never could have imagined, however, was that bankrupting Compton Group was merely the appetizer Jerry had prepared.The very next morning, Compton Group was once again trending in the news.The company was raided by the authorities due to involvement in illegal activities dating back years, and a considerable amount of illicit goods was even found on the premises.Now, with irrefutable evidence, Lily's family had truly plunged into an abyss of utter ruin. Because the sums involved were massive and the negative impact severe, the fallout rippled instantly through other industrie

Jerry's POVI had already given Lily her chance. If I were to show her mercy now, it would be nothing short of willful blindness to everything she had done to me.After arranging the next steps, I noticed I had received dozens of missed calls. Even the WhatsApp chat we hadn't used in ages was now flooded with Lily's demands and accusations."Jerry, what exactly is the meaning of this? You'd better explain yourself clearly and honestly!" "Do you really think my family has no influence of its own after all these years? I refuse to believe that a nepo baby like you who knows nothing but squandering money can lay a finger on my family!"I couldn't help but let out a contemptuous laugh when I saw Lily's messages.A nepo baby? She really had a knack for jokes.When she was still my fiancee, it was one thing for her to say things unbecoming of her position. But now that our engagement had been called off, wasn't she being a little naive to think she could still treat me like this?Wi

Jerry's POVLily blanched at my words. A beat later, she burst out into raucous laughter. Contempt flickered in her eyes, the sneer on her lips a silent mockery of how clueless she thought I was."You? Do you honestly believe that a single word from you can make my entire family pay the price? Everything I've worked for all these years was to get out from under your thumb. Did you really think I wouldn't have a contingency plan for something like this?"Suddenly, her phone rang, its chime as relentless and urgent as a death knell. Only then did she seem to realize something, and the mockery on her face crumbled away inch by inch. Even the smugness in her eyes vanished without a trace.The way she looked at me now was filled with terror and panic, as if she had finally grasped what was happening.But instead of giving her a chance to speak, I let out a cold laugh and said, "What's the matter? Panicking already? I actually preferred that arrogant, blissfully ignorant look you had ju

Jerry's POVThe screech of brakes sounded in the distance, and Lily hurriedly got out of the car."Cecil, are you okay?"She threw herself at Cecil and carefully examined him from head to toe, only breathing a sigh of relief when she confirmed he had nothing more than a few scrapes.When she turned and saw my forehead was covered in blood, there was something almost like disappointment in her eyes."Jerry, did you do this on purpose? I grew up with Cecil! How could you be so vicious as to try and kill him with your car?"I forced myself to endure the searing pain and glared fixedly at her."Lily, give me back the car rosary!"She looked down her nose at me, as if she were staring at a dog."You think I'll give it back just because you want me to? Who the heck do you think you are? Do you really think my family hasn't built up something of their own all these years?"She froze when she saw the car's rosary lying on the ground. A moment later, she let out a scoff."You tried t
