Chapter 2

No wonder Lucy had gone into the wrong hotel room. It had all been part of their plan!

Also, did that man have a disease? And she wasn't the daughter of the Everhart family?

The shocking revelations left her staggering.

"Lucy Everhart, you shameless woman!" A stern voice rang out.

Lucy turned around to see her father, Alistair Everhart, with a furious expression on his face. He walked up to her and threw a stack of photos at her, sending them scattering onto the ground.

Lucy's face paled. The photos were of her and the man exiting the hotel room. How had Alistair gotten them?

"Your actions have brought shame to our family. Your engagement with Thomas is off. Lily is pregnant with his child. She'll be marrying him instead. Pack up and get out of here now!"

Lily and Thomas heard Alistair's voice and came out of the room.

When they saw the photos on the ground, Lily smiled smugly, while Thomas just looked on expressionlessly.

"Lucy, why are you still standing there? You're not an Everhart. Pack up and get out!"

Lucy smiled bitterly. She finally understood what was going on. It had all been a ploy to drive her out of the family.

She said coldly, "Alright. I'll leave!"

She walked out the door after she picked up her ID from her room.

Lily crossed her arms and looked at Lucy smugly. "Lucy, just you wait. Everything the Everharts have will belong to me after you're gone!"

Lucy sneered. She felt like the entire situation was quite laughable. She couldn't help but think that Lily was incredibly pathetic.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lily was riled up when she saw that Lucy wasn't fazed by the situation.

Lucy said nonchalantly, "I just pity you. If you want the Everhart family's fortune, just take it. Let's see if you'll be able to hold on to it."

She tossed her hair over her shoulder and walked off after she said that.

…

Tobias drove back to the office. As he waited at a red light, he noticed Lucy walking on the sidewalk.

Although what had happened the night before had just been a mistake, Lucy had been alluring and wild; he couldn't help but be attracted to her.

His interest was piqued when he thought about the night before. But when he remembered the fact that he already had a girlfriend, he was torn between his desire and his morals.

He had never been intimate with a woman before that. Hugging was the most intimate he had been with Anna, even after years of dating.

He felt like Lucy had really lucked out because she had taken his virginity!

Meanwhile, Lucy also spotted Tobias in his car. Her anger flared up immediately.

She walked over, grabbed his collar, and said angrily, "You bastard! How dare you sleep with me even though you have an STD? You even have the audacity to show up in front of me again. Do you have a death wish?"

Tobias was stunned. He was the president of Ripley Group and was incredibly influential in Azureville. People in the business world trembled at the mere mention of his name.

And yet this woman had dared to grab his collar and yell at him?

Tobias sneered. "You're quite the actress, aren't you? You're making up such tall tales just to get closer to me!"

Lucy opened the door and tried to pull him out of the car. "What nonsense are you spewing? Get out here and come with me to the hospital for a medical examination!"

Tobias had underestimated Lucy's strength. That, coupled with the fact that he was a little overwhelmed by his emotions during their struggle, resulted in him tripping and falling forward uncontrollably.

Out of reflex, he grabbed Lucy as he fell. Lucy squealed in surprise. She wanted to push him away, but she couldn't break free from his grasp.

Because of that, they ended up engaging each other in an accidental liplock!

The accidental kiss stunned the both of them. They felt an electrifying tingle spread through their bodies. For some reason, they felt an unfamiliar emotion stir up in their hearts.

Tobias' car was in the middle of the road. So, the car behind him started honking at him. The sound snapped both of them back to their senses.

Lucy immediately pushed him away. Her cheeks were flushed, and her heart was pounding. She didn't know why she would feel this way toward a man like Tobias.

Tobias' expression was sullen as he placed his fingers on his lips. He had never felt this way, even when he had been intimate with Anna.

But his heart started pounding after the kiss. He even felt a little intoxicated by the kiss. If they hadn't been in the middle of the road, he would have really wanted to keep kissing her.

Lucy punched his chest angrily. "You bastard! You've done it again! It's illegal to spread STDs intentionally! I will sue you until you're put away and rot in prison!"

Lucy was beyond furious at this point.
