Lucas took off his suit jacket and put it around Shannon's shoulders. Then, he lifted her into his arms and carried her off stage.

He wasn't bothered by the red paint getting onto his white shirt. He comforted her tenderly.

As he walked past Chelsey, his expression turned frosty. He growled, "I won't let anyone who's harmed Shannon off the hook. That includes you!"

His accusation was like a stab to Chelsey's heart. It was silent, but it hurt like hell.

She stared at him in disbelief. "What's that supposed to mean?"

His rage almost swept her away. "Doing these things will only make me detest you, Chelsey!"

She held back her tears. "Why are you so sure that it's me? Do you have proof?"

"Who else could it be? Don't play dumb with me, Chelsey. I can't believe you'd pull such a ruthless trick. If Shannon's hand doesn't recover fully, I'll break yours."

Lucas was already sure that Chelsey was the one who'd harmed Shannon, and nothing she said would change that.

He was her husband and the man she'd cared for with all her heart for three years. Yet now, he was accusing and shaming her in front of so many people for another woman's sake.

The grievance and disappointment made Chelsey's throat tighten. She felt like there was a hand at her throat trying to strangle her.

She widened her eyes to keep the tears from rolling down. Then, she sneered. "For all you know, Shannon could've been subject to this because she's involved with you and another man. What makes you so sure I'm behind this?"

"Shut up! Don't you dare say that about Shannon. She's not that sort of woman!" Lucas roared.

His eyes burned with fury. To him, Shannon was his first love and the very definition of innocence and flawlessness. He wouldn't allow anyone to ruin that. Whoever had the nerve to try to sully her would be headed for certain death.

Chelsey was mad now. She shouted, "What the hell is wrong with you, Lucas? I'm your wife, not Shannon White. She's nothing!"

At this moment, Shannon struggled out of Lucas' embrace and got to her feet as tears streamed down her face.

She looked unbelievably pitiful, and her tone was pleading as she said, "I didn't seduce Lucas. He and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and … our marital home was prepared three years ago.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jenson. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have allowed anyone to hurt me, nor should I have allowed Lucas to take me to the hospital. I … I deserve to die for disturbing your lives …"

Shannon wept as she continued, "Let me go, Lucas. I shouldn't have returned to the country, so just let me leave. Lucas …"

As she spoke, she shut her eyes. Then, she fainted and fell to the floor.

In everyone's eyes, Chelsey had pushed her so far that she'd fainted. Her magnanimity and grievance only accentuated Chelsey's dominance and ruthlessness.

In the heat of the moment, Lucas snarled, "If I'd known you were this cruel, I wouldn't have married you. What makes you think you stand a chance against Shannon? You're not even worthy of being compared to her! You're nothing but a caregiver my mother hired for me.

"Look at what you've done to Shannon. I don't want to see you ever again. Fuck off!"

With that, Lucas shoved Chelsey to the floor. Then, he lifted Shannon into his arms and stormed off without another look back.

Chelsey looked up. She didn't know whether she was imagining things, but she seemed to see a hint of a victorious smile on Shannon's lips. Wasn't she supposed to be out cold?

Before she could process this, the crowd had circled her. Neither of them pitied her. Instead, they were quick to point fingers at her.

"Shannon's such a poor thing. If not for you, she and Mr. Yates would've already married ages ago. By now, their kids would've been running all over the place!"

    "Shannon and Mr. Yates are childhood sweethearts who were made for each other. You're the one who tore them apart, you vixen!""Nothing good will come out of someone willing to be a mistress. What goes around, comes around. It's what you deserve!"Chelsey clapped her hands over her ears and cried, "I'm not a mistress! I'm not!"But people would only pity the weak, especially when the weak were beautiful. No one cared about Chelsey's pain and grievance.…That night, the atmosphere seemed particularly lonely. It looked like it would be yet another tough night.Chelsey stood beneath the shower as the warm water poured over her. The image of Lucas leaving with Shannon kept replaying in her mind. Her heart ached with every second of it.Her face was wet; she could no longer tell whether it was from the shower or her tears.Suddenly, the sound of the door flying open dragged her back to her senses. She wiped the water on her face away with a towel and opened her eyes.Chelsey met L

    Inside the noisy bar, Lucas' icy and grim exterior made him stand out like a sore thumb.As he quietly drank his liquor, his business partner, who sat beside him, nudged him with a smirk. "Look at that chick in the white minidress, Mr. Yates. Hot stuff, isn't she? She's exactly my type. Can you see how flexible she is? I bet she's fucking good in bed!"Lucas curled his lip disdainfully. He looked in the direction his business partner was pointing.Even with the dim lighting, he could tell the young woman on the dance floor looked rather familiar. Lucas took a closer look—it was Chelsey.Her hair was loose around her shoulders, and she wore a white minidress. She was dancing without a care.She twisted her slender waist, catching the attention of the men around her. The vibrant energy in her was obvious, but it didn't take away from her mystery and sexiness.Lucas had always thought Chelsey was an obedient, demure woman. He hadn't expected her to have such a wild side. She was sex

    The man leered at Chelsey. "Come with me, pretty little thing. I'll buy you any bag you like, whether it's from Gucci, Dior, or Chanel."The liquor on his breath fanned over Chelsey's face. She almost puked. She frowned and backed away.Lucas furrowed his brows and dragged her behind him. He said, "You've got the wrong idea, Mr. Cooper. She's my … friend, and I'm gonna send her home now."With that, he turned and left, dragging Chelsey with him.Adam Cooper used his liquid courage to shout, "Friend? What friend? Don't lie to me, Mr. Yates! I was the one who saw that chick first! You're breaking the rules here …"Lucas stuffed Chelsey into the passenger seat of his car. She sneered and asked, "Why didn't you tell him I'm your ex-wife?"Lucas glared at her. "We're not divorced yet!"His expression was frostier than ever. He slammed the door shut.So what if they weren't divorced yet? It would happen sooner or later!Chelsey didn't harbor any more delusions toward Lucas. She open

    Sandra gave Lucas a contemptuous look. "Honestly, even a pet dog would've shown Chels more gratitude for everything she's done in the past three years. If not for her taking such good care of you, how could you possibly have regained your vision?"You're a heartless bastard! Now, get lost. Chels doesn't wanna see you."Lucas didn't get angry after being scolded by Sandra. He merely looked at Chelsey, who clung to Sandra weakly. She'd never had alcohol before, yet she'd had so much to drink during her first time. Her head spun and felt like it was made of mush."I'll take her home." Lucas bent down slightly to lift Chelsey into his arms. He turned and strode off."We don't need you for that. I'll take her!"Sandra hurried after them but was stopped by Lucas' bodyguards. She stomped her foot angrily and cried anxiously, "If you dare do anything to harm Chelsey, I'll kill you, Lucas! Don't you dare bully her or break her heart!"Lucas brought Chelsey to his Bentley, which was parked

    Chelsey was nothing but a substitute.When Lucas had regained his vision and laid eyes on her for the first time, he'd realized her face was different from what he'd imagined.That was why he'd moved out to live alone. He wanted to work out his true feelings.…20 minutes later, the Bentley stopped in the garage of Lucas' and Chelsey's marital home. Lucas carried Chelsey, who was now asleep, into the house.After losing his eyesight, Lucas didn't want any outsiders around him, so they didn't have live-in maids at the villa. Every week, a cleaning service employee would drop by to clean the place, and a makeshift housekeeper would come over to cook their lunches and dinners.She would leave once she was done and wouldn't linger. As for breakfast, Chelsey would prepare that for them both.Lucas had sealed himself from the world in this villa, and Chelsey had been the only one who could get close to him. She'd warmed and healed him.Lucas carried Chelsey upstairs, cradling her in

    The following day, Chelsey woke up with a splitting headache. She clutched at her head as she sat up in bed. She could see that she was in her bed at home but had no idea how she'd gotten there.Chelsey lifted the sheets to see she was buck-naked. She ran into the bathroom in shock. When she saw the dress she'd worn last night on the floor, she sagged in relief.Thank God she hadn't stripped while outside. Otherwise, she'd be utterly humiliated.God, she felt horrible. She couldn't drink anymore.Chelsey grabbed some pajamas and threw them on. Then, she headed downstairs to see Lucas cooking something in the kitchen.When their gazes met, Chelsey's eyes were wide with surprise. "What are you doing here?"Lucas didn't answer her. Instead, he put a bowl on the counter. "Come and drink this."Chelsey walked over and frowned at the murky liquid. "What's in there?""A hangover remedy." Lucas had had the driver get the ingredients and made it himself.Chelsey would always make this

    Chelsey glanced at Shannon's hand, which was wrapped in gauze, and asked casually, "Did you catch the people who attacked you?"A trace of terror flitted past Shannon's face at her question. She subconsciously leaned closer to Lucas. "Yes, but we didn't find the mastermind."Lucas' expression darkened. He scrutinized Chelsey, seemingly wanting to detect any trace of her being the mastermind.Chelsey sneered. "What does it matter? Lucas thinks I'm the one who hired those people to do that to you, anyway. He even wanted to break my hand to avenge you, you know!"The drama queen in Shannon immediately took over. She said to Lucas tearily, "Lucas, Ms. Jenson cared for you without a complaint for three years; you can't suspect her of these things. Look at how much she loves you—you'd break her heart by saying something like that."I trust Ms. Jenson, and I know she wouldn't do something like that. You have to treat her well, Lucas."Every word out of Shannon's mouth made it seem like

    The following day, Chelsey left the Yates residence in a red sports car. She wore a navy blue windbreaker and put on a pair of shades to hide her eyes, which were red from crying.She followed the satnav to a resort located halfway up a mountain. As soon as she parked the car, a handsome man with a gentlemanly demeanor opened the door for her.Chelsey got out, complaining, "Why did I have to come, Jace? You know I'm an introvert—I hate meeting outsiders. Remember to reject these things for me in the future. I don't want to see anyone.""Understood, Queen. I'll make sure to turn down these requests in the future. I only agreed to this one because this is your first time working with a local company. The company's president really admires you. He insisted on meeting with you in person."I'm sorry for agreeing to it, and I'll make sure this doesn't happen again!" Jason Reid said apologetically.Chelsey hummed faintly when she saw how quick he was to apologize. She followed him into t

    Sandra flashed a satisfied smile as she wrapped her arms around Micah's neck and kissed him. "Please be gentle. I'm afraid it'll hurt… Mmm…"An hour later, Sandra lay limp in Micah's arms. Both of them were drenched in sweat.Although the car was not spacious, it did not affect Micah's performance. Sandra was very satisfied with him. He turned to look at the sleepy Sandra and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?""Yeah…"Sandra did not expect it to hurt so much to the point she'd cried in pain.Now, she was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to keep her eyes open.Micah reached out to gently wipe away Sandra's tears. "Are you satisfied?""Yeah," Sandra replied as she embraced him tightly. At that moment, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sandra then fell asleep. She had no idea how she returned to the hotel.When she woke up, it was already morning.Micah was lying beside her, and neither of them was wearing anything. Her eyes lit up at the sight of his hand

    Micah's judgment may be somewhat clouded, but he was still aware that he and Sandra were in the car.It was their first time doing the deed. Wasn't it too intense for it to happen in the car?"Let's head back to the hotel. The car is too small," Micah said as he grabbed Sandra's hand, his voice hoarse but sexy. Sandra looked at him seductively. "Are you sure you can hold on until we return to the hotel? I can't stand it anymore. I want it now…"She stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke. Every move of hers was charming.Micah was both amused and helpless at the sight of Sandra's eagerness. He had never met such an unrestrained woman like her. She was indeed a lethal poison. Micah's throat felt like it was on fire. He swallowed hard and replied, "It's our first time. Let's not be hasty. We can enjoy it better in the hotel room."Sandra was not the only inexperienced one. It was also Micah's first time. He felt that doing it in the car lacked a sense

    Sandra's suggestive tone caused Micah's heart to flutter, and indescribable images appeared in his mind again. His lips trembled as he nervously asked, "W-What do you want to do?""What do you think I want to do?" Sandra winked at him and then licked her lips. Everything was implied but left unsaid, understood without being spoken.Micah felt both excited and awkward. He cleared his throat before replying, "It's too fast.""We'll get there eventually. So, why not do it sooner? We can enjoy it in advance," Sandra said seriously.Once again, her logic left Micah at a loss for words.He took a deep breath to remain rational. Micah refused to let his instincts take the reins once more. "We've just started dating, and there's no guarantee we'll continue to do so. I don't want to hurt you if we don't work out."But Sandra did not seem to care. "Why is your thinking still so conservative in this day and age? I'm not concerned about it, so why should you?"She merely wanted hi

    Sandra did not answer Xenia's question. Instead, she replied, "The crawfish here tastes good. It's big and fresh."But Xenia showed no interest in the crawfish. She was captivated by Micah, her eyes lingering on him."Sandra, is he your boyfriend or bodyguard?"Sandra shot Xenia an annoyed glance and answered, "He's my boyfriend. What's it to you?""Nothing much. Your boyfriend suddenly rushed onto the stage and disrupted the filming. Mr. Dodd was pissed. Tell your boyfriend he shouldn't do that again. Even if he wants to become famous, that's not the way."Xenia's words were somewhat sarcastic, leaving Sandra feeling uncomfortable.The latter retorted, "My boyfriend doesn't want to become famous. He rushed onto the stage because he saw I was feeling unwell. "If it weren't for him, I'd have died by now. And if someone dies, the filming can't continue, anyway."Sandra did not know hypothermia could be so severe. She thought she could have toughed it out.Fortunately, Micah h

    Sandra could break up with Micah next month if everything went smoothly.She playfully winked at him and said, "It's your turn to feed me."Micah choked on his saliva upon hearing that.They were in public, so he dared not do it at all. However, Sandra had already opened her mouth."Hurry up and feed me."Left with no choice, Micah peeled a crawfish and fed her.After eating that, Sandra smiled and demanded, "I want you to feed me with your mouth.""Don't push your luck."At that point, Micah's face had turned red as a tomato.Despite being an upright person, Sandra had led him astray. His mind was now filled with unwholesome thoughts."I will push my luck," replied Sandra. She then pouted coquettishly. "Quick! Feed me!"She had thoroughly gotten the better of him.Micah became a man without principles, only capable of spoiling his girlfriend. He could not bring himself to refuse her demands.With a crawfish in his mouth, he turned to feed it to Sandra.She aggressi

    Sandra did not want to order takeout at the hotel.So, she searched online for a highly-rated restaurant and asked Micah to drive there.Sandra had chosen an eatery that specialized in crawfish. Upon their arrival, she boldly ordered 22 pounds of crawfish, some side dishes, and beer. The crawfish soon arrived, and the plate was almost as big as the table. Sandra rolled up her sleeves and immediately dug in. She also poured beer for herself and Micah."I need to drive, so I can't drink," said Micah."Don't worry. We can just call for a driver. Let's drink together. It's no fun drinking alone."After saying that, Sandra picked up her glass and took a big gulp.She even put her feet up on the chair while eating, displaying her carefree demeanor.It was Micah's first time seeing a female celebrity who was unconcerned about her image. He suddenly found Sandra's bold and candid character rather adorable.As Sandra savored the crawfish, she paired each mouthful with sips of be

    Trevor was even more handsome up close.He was a gentleman, smiling as he asked, "Can you stand steady?""I should be able to," answered Sandra.Initially, she was standing just fine, but then Trevor helped her. Sandra suddenly felt her legs go weak. Perhaps she could not stand steady now.Trevor helped her to the side and said, "You should sit here for a while. Continue filming when you feel better.""Alright."At that moment, Sandra hated herself for not bringing paper and a pen with her. Otherwise, she would have gotten Trevor to sign an autograph."He's so good-looking!" Sandra exclaimed inwardly.After that, Trevor returned to the stage. Owen dared not make a sound and only glared at Sandra, who innocently pursed her lips.How could Owen blame her? Trevor was the one who wanted to help her, after all. Suddenly, Sandra sensed an unfriendly gaze and instinctively turned to look. She immediately caught sight of Micah's darkened expression, his eyes gleaming with a hi

    Sandra was not embarrassed by Micah's stare. Instead, she flirtatiously blinked at him and asked, "Do you want to join me for a shower?"Startled, Micah averted his gaze and quickly turned away. "Why didn't you close the door when you shower?"Sandra confidently replied, "Why should I close the door? You're not a stranger. Besides, you've seen every part of my body multiple times."Micah could not help but wonder if she was truly a woman. Why wasn't she shy or reserved? Sandra was bolder than any man. Micah gulped nervously before saying, "That's one way to put it. But don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage by letting me see your body?""If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you show me yours? That way, we'll be even." Sandra then beckoned with her finger. "Come here. Let's shower together."At that moment, Micah felt that Sandra was up to no good, like a witch from a fairy tale.After hanging the shirt she requested on the wall, he turned to leave the b

    Sandra burst out laughing after hearing that. She was surprised that Micah had a sense of humor and could crack jokes.Their relationship took another step forward without them realizing it.If it had not been for the filming in the afternoon, Sandra would have wanted to make love with Micah immediately. She wanted to get it done as soon as possible because she had been waiting for this day for too long. After giving birth, she could focus on her career without needing to worry about all these matters anymore.Sandra had made a deal with her parents. They would take care of her child, and she did not need to be involved. The child would grow up and inherit the family business, while she could do whatever she liked and live a carefree life.In actuality, Sandra had no desire to date or marry. She just wanted to be alone.She could find several men to accompany her if she ever felt lonely.Meanwhile, Micah was completely unaware of Sandra's plans. He was even planning to in
