《MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL》全部章節：第 71 章 - 第 80 章

“What is she doing here?” Elizabeth muttered, her eyes fixed on a woman’s back.Aiden, who was standing beside her, followed her gaze, and they landed on a familiar figure. He glanced away from the woman, then turned back to Elizabeth. “Her friend is currently being treated in the hospital,” he said, and Elizabeth raised a brow at him. Aiden sighed, knowing she didn’t understand, and then decided to explain further.“The cop guy; Matteo Spencer is a friend of hers, and apparently, he was the one she’d eloped with before the wedding. Lucas had found them together and shot him in the leg. He used him to get her to appear for the wedding and told his men to bring him to the hospital to treat his wound as per the girl’s wish.” He chuckled after his explanation.“What’s funny?” Elizabeth asked with a hiss.“It’s funny how Lucas had his men bring him to the same hospital they’d brought you to. A fantastic coincidence, isn’t it?”Elizabeth glared at Aiden, and he shut his mouth, the grin di

Matteo watched as different expressions crossed Elizabeth’s face. She was lost in thought, her brows furrowed as she contemplated what to do. Then, he noticed her biting her lower lip a moment later, her eyes filled with hesitation and fear.Matteo was now more than curious to hear what secret about Lucas she was hesitating so hard to speak about. But for some reason he didn't yet understand, he didn't want to put her in a tight spot.She was affecting him. But why? Why was he being drawn to her?He mused, his eyes fixed on her face as he studied every tiny detail. After a long moment of stretched silence in the room, Matteo exhaled and finally said, “If you're too afraid to say anything, then don't."At his words, Elizabeth snapped her head toward him, stunned. "Why?”Matteo shrugged. "I don't know. I don't like the fear I’m seeing in your eyes. You don't have to tell me if it’s too hard to share."Elizabeth blinked. Then she blinked again. Damn it! Those words sounded sweet in her e

Kate opened her mouth to answer, but no words came out. She looked at Lucas's cold face and sighed inwardly. ‘Why does it feel so hard to tell him where I was?’ she wondered.A voice whispered in her head. ‘Because he looks so terrifying right now.’Kate shivered and nodded slightly as if agreeing. Then she felt a pinch on her waist and turned to the brooding man. She saw the scowl in his eyes directed at her and realized he was still waiting for an answer. “I… where did everyone go? The house was empty when I came in,” she said quickly.Lucas narrowed his eyes. He knew what she was doing. She was stalling and avoiding his question. “I sent them away," he answered flatly.Kate blinked. He had sent everyone away? Even Ace? she thought and asked curiously, "Why?”The temperature in the room dropped, and Kate swallowed hard as she rubbed her hands together. “I asked where you were, Kitty,” Lucas repeated, bringing his hands forward to touch her chin. Then he turned her head toward his fa

Kate rushed downstairs and into the living room, then stopped dead in her tracks. ‘Could she actually stay in the living room?’ she thought, then sighed loudly. She could have gone to Lucas's room to hide for the moment, but her room was a mess, and she was certain that Lucas wouldn't stay in her room for long.He’d want to go back to his room to take care of himself and his emotions. Lurking around the rooms, she was likely to run into Lucas, but where was she supposed to go? Kate wanted to give Lucas enough time to gather his emotions and process everything that had gone down between them. Now that Kate was alone, she took a deep breath and tried to process the whole moment with Lucas earlier.There was no doubt that before she entered her room, Lucas was already mad about something, and that something had to do with her. Her brows furrowed as she thought about what she could have done that would’ve gotten him so riled up.“The video!" she exclaimed, remembering that Lucas had menti

Elizabeth felt Matteo's intense gaze on her, and a wave of guilt washed over her. She hadn't known her father was going to show up. 'I'm a victim, too!' she justified in her head, trying to shake off the feeling.Not wanting to stay near Matteo, she hurried toward her father's direction. "Dad..." she started, but stopped mid-sentence as he turned to glare at her.Leaning against the car frame, Matteo clenched his fists as he watched Elizabeth desert him, regretting ever giving her his attention and letting her convince him to betray Kate.Meanwhile, Wilson's eyes scanned his surroundings, taking in the scene. He couldn't discern any other men in the background or hiding somewhere. There was just one man before Kate, and his brows pulled together. What was going on? Even Lucas's lapdog (Ace) was nowhere to be seen.'Was Lucas truly affected by what his daughter had done that he didn't even bother to put up security measures around the girl and his villa?' Wilson pondered.A smirk crept
