"You said that even if I got married, you'd still wait for me! Lucas, you liar!"Lana beat Lucas' chest furiously like a crazy person, her sallow face stained with tears.Lucas stood there blankly. He did not avoid the beating, and he did not react to being beaten. It was hard to tell what he was feeling from the complicated expression on his face.Lana's energy seemed to be used up by this series of intense punches. She swayed for a moment before gripping the front of Lucas' suit. Only then did she not go so far as to fall down.Lucas subconsciously reached out for her. He was about to touch the side of her waist when he remembered something, freezing up before pulling his hand back quickly.Lana naturally noticed his little movement. She did not expose him but took the opportunity to fall into his arms."Lucas!" She looked up with tears in her eyes. "Don't get married, okay?" Her voice was soft and gentle. Lucas' heart felt a stab of pain from how careful Lana sounded.Lana
The musical voice sounded bossy. The four in the parking lot—no matter in the dark or in the light, turned over in surprise.Sasha had somehow changed out of her elaborate wedding gown, and she was now wearing a dress with a shorter skirt, which allowed her to move more freely. She had a thick down jacket wrapped around her to keep the cold away, and she was about a hundred away from Lucas and Lana.Lucas' face changed at once. He frantically shoved Lana away and tried to explain to Sasha. "Listen to me, Sasha. It's not what it looks like!"It was the exact script that a cheater would use in a TV show.Sasha kept smiling. However, it was not as happy and sweet as before. Instead, it was only cold and mocking now.Lucas froze in his footsteps, having been about to walk to her. He was suddenly swamped under a great wave of fear."Sasha!" A series of tapping high heels sounded on the floor, coming closer and closer. Sharon hurried over and stopped next to Sasha.She did not know wh
Sharon did not expect Sasha to be so compromising. She suddenly felt sad for her."You don't have to do this for Mom and Dad's sake." Sharon spoke loudly so that everyone could hear though she was addressing Sasha. "These things are not worth your future happiness. So, if you want to cancel the wedding, we will support you."Lucas turned pale at once, and he looked at Sasha, at a complete loss of what to do. He pulled back the foot he put out in preparation to walk over to her and waited nervously for her "verdict."However, before Sasha could speak, Lana hugged Lucas from behind. Her arms were surprisingly strong despite being very thin. They were wrapped around Lucas' waist so tightly that it hurt."Don't marry her, Lucas! You love me, and you know it!" Lana wailed, looking out from behind Lucas' head to glare at Sasha fiercely."Lucas loves me, not you! He will never marry you! Forget it!"Sasha did not even look at Lana, though. She treated Lana as if she did not exist."Luc
Sasha's calmness fell apart when she saw the knife. She knew that if she did nothing, Lana would really stab Lucas due to how unstable she was right now.Seeing the internal struggle Sasha was going through, Sharon grabbed her hand before she could respond."Sasha, don't." Sharon shook her head minutely. Even her normally confident expression had a trace of fear in it.Sasha really did love Lucas. She loved him so much that she would definitely die for him. But she did not want to die here, nor did she want to die by the knife of that crazy woman. She looked at Lucas, who was also looking at her.His eyes held terrible grief as well as deep love.Sasha's heart trembled sharply, and fear gripped her tightly."Sasha." Lucas was smiling, his voice was amazingly steady. "No matter what anyone says, I only need you to believe that I really do love you.""Luc …" Sasha was about to speak when she saw his face darken. He reached back to grip Lana's wrist.Startled, Lana's hand pushed f
Sasha did not know when she started crying. Her face was now covered in tears."Lucas …" She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.Lucas' face gradually lost color, and his strength weakened with the loss of blood."Sasha." His voice was really soft, showcasing just how weak he was right now.Sasha's blank eyes turned to look at him."Thank goodness." Lucas smiled a genuine smile at her. "Thank goodness it wasn't you."Thank goodness she was not the one who got stabbed by the knife.Thank goodness she was not the one who got infected.Thank goodness she would not be the one who would die."Lucas Hermes, you're a complete idiot!" Sasha burst into tears, unable to control her emotions any longer.Sharon rushed over to hug her, her cold gaze having a little bit of sympathy and gratitude in them when she looked at Lucas.The sounds of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the spacious parking lot.A team of heavily armed police streamed in from all corners of the lot, surrou
Lana and Lucas' story was not considered a secret in the wealthy social circles of Bartham. When Walter and Martha tried to get Sasha to break up with Lucas, they went as far as to give her the most complete version of the story.Sasha knew every stupid thing that Lucas had done for Lana. She even secretly got jealous because of it. She never told Lucas about all these things. It was to the point that Lucas still thought that Sasha was unaware of his previous relationship. Because of that, when he heard what she said to Lana, he could not care about the wound on the back of his waist as he tried to push himself up from the floor."Sasha …"The policemen quickly stopped him. "Don't move! Your wound will be torn open again!"Hearing the commotion, Sasha turned around to shout at him coldly, "If you don't want to die, you better fucking lie down, Lucas! If you move again, I will kill you myself!" She did not give him any respect at all."... Oh." Lucas chickened out at once, hunching
"Move!" After the ambulance left, the police marched Lana into the police car that had just got there too.The parking lot became quiet once more.Sharon, who was alone, took a deep breath and said out loud, "You can come out now. The show's already over."Dylan and Kevan, who were hiding behind a big car, were shocked. They looked at each other before coming right out."Did you two plan this?" Sharon tried her best to ask calmly even though she was feeling all kinds of negative emotions in her heart.Kevan said nothing.Although Dylan had not participated in anything, he remained silent, too, for he did not want to betray his friend. He did not dare to look into Sharon's eyes as he was afraid that she might get a hint from his face.However, the way he looked down with his eyes drifting here and there was just proof of his guilt to Sharon.Her heart sank gradually as her voice trembled. "You really hate me that much?"Her sudden question confused Dylan. "What?" He frowned bec
Although Dylan said he was going to leave, he did not leave at once.It was not because of Kevan's persuasion but rather because Dylan had some tact himself. He had to stand together with Sharon at this time—even if he was only acting.The ballroom upstairs was not in chaos like they thought it was. The guests remained in their seats, and the waiters were bringing the dishes over in an orderly way. There was just a hint of discomfort on everyone's faces.Dylan and Kevan walked through the large ballroom to return to their seats.Xander and Cecilia's seats were already empty, and Martha's seat was also empty too. They had gone to accompany Lucas to the hospital. He did not know how Sharon informed everyone of what happened, but as the guests did not leave, he presumed that she did not tell the whole truth.He did not know if she had told Walter about the divorce issue. He guessed that she did not because she had more tact than him, and she knew to look at the big picture more than
