Chapter 40 The Truth Revealed Lucas smiled and nodded. He elegantly reached out and held her hand. It was soft and delicate. They walked towards the door arm in arm. Mason followed behind. Seeing that her plan was about to fail, Mia took one last shot. She couldn’t hold back and stepped forward to block their way. Mia boldly looked straight at Lucas and said, “Mr. Greens, although I don’t know how you met my sister. I’m so happy that you can accept her despite her past.” She gritted her teeth as she said the last sentence. These words were calculated and with a double meaning. She did not believe that there would be a man alive who wouldn’t mind something like that happening to his other half. Emily stopped in her tracks and was about to lose control of her emotions. She sneered. Mia’s words pretended to show concern for her.
But in reality, the intention was to further humiliate her. That woman even now was still so disgusting in her ways! Why did she hate Emily so much that she had to ruin her reputation? She glanced at Mia with disgust. Emily opened her mouth and was about to mock her. Before she could say anything, Lucas had already stopped and replied, “I know very well what kind of person Emily is. As for you, what are you? From the beginning, you have been constantly reminding everyone about her past. Do you really want everyone to poke and laugh at her and call her shameless?” He snorted coldly and continued, “What an amazing way to care for someone, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! This really was an eye- opening experience for me today.” His expression was full of disgust. Lucas had dealt with all kinds of people in society, and he knew his way around. He had seen all manner of scheming and tricky people. He had also had his share of family disputes. He hated the fake and hypocritical way this woman was behaving. When she heard his words, Mia’s face turned pale. She had no way to refute him. The guests were not fools and gradually felt that something was wrong.
They realized that Mia had been playing them all along. Mia’s eyes turned red, and she said pitifully, “No, I really care about my sister.” Seeing her like this, Charles walked forward and held her in his arms. When Lucas saw this pair of wicked lovers, he sneered and said sarcastically, “That’s not necessary. Your concern is really frightening.” Mia choked and did not dare to refute him. She only looked up at Charles pitifully. Mason chuckled and said, “It’s strange. I heard that the young master of the Johnson family and elder miss of the Armstrong family were childhood sweethearts. But when she was in trouble, you immediately abandoned her and got with her step-sister! No matter what happened, it’s amazing how quickly you moved on. And now you’re making this show of being so loyal and in love? It really is astonishing!” He tutted and left this sentence hanging in the air for all to ponder. With that, Lucas and Mason left with Emily. Charles was a little embarrassed and held his bride in his arms stiffly. The guests at the scene were lost in thought. They did not know the exact details of what had happened back then. They had only found out about Emily’s scandal after reading the news. However, Mr. Greens had expressed a different opinion of Emily and revealed some hidden truths today. What he said was not unreasonable. Thinking about it carefully, there were also many doubts about what had happened back then. Everyone immediately began to doubt whether they had been too quick to judge. They sized up Charles and Mia with a new perspective. They obviously began to suspect what had really happened between the three of them. Someone directly asked, “Could it be that the young miss of the Armstrong family plotted against her sister and set her up? Then she would be able to come in and snatch young Master Johnson.” Many people nodded and said, “Who knows?” After all, it was better not to rashly offend the Johnson and Armstrong families. Mia was at a loss, faced with this sudden turn of opinion against her. She tugged at Charles, “What should we do, Charles?” She would probably be in the headlines tomorrow, and not in a good way. Charles had no choice but to sigh and comfort her. “Mia, it’s okay. Everything will pass.” In his mind, he couldn’t help but think of how intimate Lucas and Emily had appeared. At that moment,
Mr. Smith spat on the floor in anger. Since Mr. Greens had interjected, it was impossible for Emily to marry his son now. However, he had already given the Armstrongs 30 million yuan for the betrothal gift. That old fox William would definitely not return it! He realized that it must be William who had lied to him and schemed against him! He’d lost 30 million and offended Lucas Greens as well. In the future, how could they, the Smith family, gain a foothold in the upper class? Luckily, he had not actually kidnapped Emily. Otherwise, the Smith family would probably be wiped out! Mr. Smith was so angry that he trembled. He pointed at William’s nose and scolded, “Well good job William Armstrong. You almost got me killed tonight! How dare you take the 30 million when you knew full well she was never going to marry into the Smith family?” To say that in front of so many people. It would definitely ruin the Armstrong family’s reputation. With that, Mr. Smith turned on his heel and stormed out. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
