Before long, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered that Lucas had recently followed a designer named Queen.Moreover, he had liked all her tweets. Lucas was not following anyone before he followed Queen. He didn't like any other posts either, not even Shannon's.So, rumors of Queen being the third party in Lucas and Shannon's relationship quickly escalated. Some netizens even went as far as to analyze the timeline.They concluded that Queen was indeed the adulterer who sabotaged their relationship. The evidence was undeniable. With media accounts and various traffic-hungry online content creators adding fuel to the fire, many netizens flooded Chelsey's Twitter with comments. They insulted her, and some even sent hateful private messages. Chelsey's Twitter was blowing up. With a miserable expression, she told Sandra, "I'm innocent! What does this have to do with me? Lucas and I divorced a long time ago.""Do you want to post your divorce certificate online? Let these people kn
Lucas could remain calm even in a life-and-death situation. Yet, he struggled to figure out how to deal with the chaos on Twitter. "I've handed it over to the PR team to handle. They've removed the news articles that have gone viral," Lucas reported dejectedly.Still, Chelsey wanted to give him a good scolding. "You've ruined everything! There are people causing havoc at my stores across the country."They're demanding refunds. Even wealthy clients are canceling their orders. Do you know how much I've lost financially?"Chelsey reckoned Lucas should stay away from Twitter. Otherwise, he would only cause more trouble."All your losses are on me. I'll compensate you," answered Lucas.He was straightforward when it came to matters of money. Lucas then added, "Just ignore all the comments online. I'll have someone handle them.""Okay. Deal with it as soon as possible. I'll stay offline these few days."Chelsey then picked up her sketchbook. "If there's nothing else, you can
Sandra chimed in, "Alright! Let me join you! I'll create a fake account, too.""Okay."Chelsey had already created a bogus profile. After that, the duo happily attacked Lucas on Twitter.But before they were done, Chelsey received a money transfer from Lucas. She was stunned at the number of zeroes in the total sum. Chelsey carefully counted them, and to her astonishment, there were eight zeroes. Lucas had transferred 100 million dollars to her. Was this his compensation to her?Chelsey was about to return the money when she received a message from Lucas. "Sorry, my bank transfer has a daily limit of 100 million dollars. I'll transfer another 100 million to you tomorrow."She wondered if he was planning to reimburse her with 200 million dollars.Chelsey did not know if she should be happy or upset with this unexpected windfall. "Can you guess how much Lucas reimbursed me?" she asked Sandra."How much?" Sandra's curiosity was piqued. Chelsey replied, "He just transfer
Shannon covered her face and slumped onto the ground, crying. "Mom, what should I do? I shouldn't have returned…""Shannon, you mustn't give up so easily!" Jasmine sat on the ground, holding Shannon tightly. Her gaze was firm and fierce. "Mom, I've lost. I have to admit my defeat." As Shannon spoke, she lifted her hand, which was still in a cast. "I hesitated to tell you the truth because I was worried you'd feel sad."To be honest, Lucas orchestrated my accident. It wasn't just a simple car collision. "He did it to punish me for dealing with Chelsey. Lucas will do anything for her."Jasmine's face turned pale upon learning the truth. A second later, she burst into tears. "There's not a single good man out there! Lucas treated you so well before. "But now, he committed such an act without batting an eyelid. How could he do this to you? "Oh, Shannon, my poor child. Life has been hard on you."Shannon responded, "Mom, we can't go after Chelsey anymore. Lucas will ne
Jasmine sighed before saying, "I think it's a pity they broke up just like that. They used to be so close. "But then again, Shannon might be better off. She wouldn't be happy if she married a man who doesn't love her."Josie finally understood the events. "Are you saying Luke and Shannon have broken up?""You didn't know about this? It's all over the news. It even made it to the trending list," Jasmine replied, surprise evident in her expression."I don't even know where to go to check buzzworthy news." Josie still could not believe it. "Did they really break up?"Jasmine answered solemnly, "Yes. How could I joke about something like this? Breaking up might be for the best. "It's better to rip the Band-Aid off quickly than to peel it off slowly. Shannon is free now.""Why did Luke break up with Shannon?" Josie asked, despite having an answer already.She figured that it must be because of Chelsey. After Lucas and Chelsey divorced, he always thought about her. There we
Fortunately, all the bodyguards knew Josie. So, they didn't search her person. Lucas' assistant, Mark, stood at the door. Noticing that Josie had arrived, he approached her with a smile."Greetings, Madam Josie."Josie merely hummed in acknowledgment. "Where's Lucas?""He's inside. He just finished with a meeting," Mark answered as he excitedly led Josie into the house.Josie entered and saw Lucas working at the dining table. Before him lay a pile of documents. The scene before her fueled her anger. He did not even go to the office because he wanted to keep an eye on Chelsey. Josie found it unacceptable."Mom, why are you here?"Lucas heard footsteps and lifted his head. At the sight of Josie, he flashed a tired smile. Then, he stood up and walked toward her. "You haven't visited me in so long. So, I thought I should come see you," Josie replied.She immediately noticed that Lucas had lost weight. A pang of sadness hit her. "Why did you lose so much weight?""Did I?
Lucas' statement drove Josie up the walls. "Why are you so useless? Don't forget that you're the one who wanted a divorce back then! It's too late to regret it now!" she yelled."I haven't forgotten about it," Lucas replied bitterly. That was the biggest regret in his life. He felt the urge to slap himself as he thought about it.Lucas had hurt Chelsey profoundly. So, he felt that he could forgive her even though she cheated on him.Josie could not find it in herself to scold Lucas any further. She took a deep breath to calm herself before saying, "Don't stay here anymore. Come home with me now." "Mom, you go on home. I'll return in a few days."No matter what, Lucas would not leave until Timothy returned. He was obliged to protect Chelsey. It was something he owed her, after all. Josie stomped off in frustration at Lucas' words. After closing his door, she headed straight to the house opposite and rang the doorbell. Before long, Sandra opened the door. Although she h
Several bodyguards forcibly pulled Josie away. She seethed with anger and shouted at Lucas, "How did I give birth to such a worthless son like you? Is there no other woman in the world except Chelsey? Do you enjoy being cheated on?"Josie repeatedly mentioned Chelsey cheating on Lucas. At that point, his expression darkened.Lucas instructed Mark to fetch ice cubes. After wrapping them in a fresh towel, Lucas gently applied them to Chelsey's face. Chelsey sat on the couch, feeling upset. Tears welled up in her eyes as she recalled how kind Josie was to her. Sandra, too, felt sorry for Chelsey. She almost blurted out that Chelsey was carrying Lucas' child. Seated beside Chelsey, Lucas carefully applied the chilled towel to Chelsey's face. "I'm sorry. My mom can be quite impulsive, and her words can be harsh. Please accept my apologies on her behalf."Chelsey turned to look at Lucas, who had set everything in motion. "Don't you hate me for betraying you?"Lucas shook hi
