Mandy sensed that something was wrong between them, so she quickly sent everyone else out, leaving Fiona and Lucas alone.After a long silence, Fiona finally spoke.“Why won’t you marry me? Isn’t this what you’ve wanted for the past eight years?”Lucas met her gaze calmly. His expression was steady and composed.“Yes. It’s what I wanted before. But I don’t want to marry you anymore.”“You chased after me for eight years, and now you’re saying you don’t want to marry me?”The calm on Fiona’s face cracked, and a trace of madness appeared in her eyes.“Lucas, do you think this is some kind of game?“You were raised by the Shaw family. We grew up together. We went to school together. We worked together. For me, you gave up the chance to study abroad and stayed at the company to be my right hand. For me, you took that drug to suppress your strength so you wouldn’t hurt anyone. When I was kidnapped, you even took a bullet for me.“And now you’re telling me you don’t want to marry me

Fiona froze.It felt as if something had struck her hard across the head. Memories of Lucas flashed through her mind, one after another.Lucas really had never hurt her.If anything, he had always protected her.But just because he had never hurt her openly, did that mean he had never done anything behind her back?Fiona pressed her lips together. Her voice was faint.“But you still don’t have proof that the incident five years ago had nothing to do with you.”A cold, bitter heaviness spread through Lucas’s chest.How was he supposed to prove he hadn’t done something?If Fiona refused to believe him, then so be it.He gave up explaining.Then he turned and walked away.“Lucas, I already told you. It’s in the past. Why do you have to keep holding on to it? Can’t we just move past this and get married?”Lucas stopped.His eyes were red, and all the hurt and pain he had been holding back finally surfaced.Fiona had always been like this with him.She would hurt him first,

Fiona didn’t say anything.That was as good as admitting it.Zoe raised a brow, her eyes full of teasing.“You and Lucas have been the talk of the town these past few months. Everyone’s saying Lucas spent eight years chasing after you, only to end up with nothing. They’re saying you ran out on your own wedding for Zac and abandoned him.”Fiona frowned. “Don’t talk about him like that. He wasn’t chasing after me like some pathetic fool.”Zoe let out an amused scoff. She had always been blunt, the kind of person who roasted everyone equally, whether they were friend or foe.“Oh, so now you know how to defend him? You were pretty decisive when you left him at the altar.“And Zac? Out of all the days he could get into an accident, it just had to happen on your wedding day? Doesn’t that sound suspicious to you?“I told you ages ago to treat Lucas better. These days, loyal, devoted men like him aren’t easy to find.“And honestly, I don’t know what you see in Zac and that fake innoce

Lucas was so angry at Fiona’s attitude that he laughed.He stopped holding himself back, and anger sharpened every word he spoke.“Fiona, what makes you think I would still agree to marry you after everything you’ve done to me?“The person you love is Zac. If you want someone to marry, then go marry him. Stop dragging me into this.”Lucas truly couldn’t understand Fiona anymore.There were too many conflicts and misunderstandings between them. Whatever they had once shared was no longer simple or pure.Any normal person would have agreed to end things cleanly by now.So how could Fiona still act as if nothing had happened? How could she still put on this self-righteous show of devotion?Fiona listened quietly until he finished. She didn’t rush to answer.Instead, she picked up a glass of water from the coffee table and walked over to him.She handed it to him gently.“Don’t get angry yet. We can talk this through. Drink some water first.”Lucas found the whole thing chillin

Inside the executive office at Shaw Corporation, Fiona stared at the file in her hand and nearly laughed from anger.“I asked you to find out who was behind the car incident five years ago. This is what you’re showing me?”The file only stated that the incident was connected to Elsa. It didn’t explain what had actually happened at all.Mandy lowered her head, looking deeply apologetic.“I’m sorry, Ms. Shaw. We’ve already found Elsa and have our people watching her, but she refuses to talk. She keeps insisting that the video was fabricated to frame her, and she won’t admit to anything.“The driver finished serving his sentence and was released two years ago. We don’t know where he went after that, so it will take more time to track him down.“As for the video, our tech department traced the sender’s account, but the account was registered overseas.”Fiona’s expression turned even colder.“So in other words, several days have passed, and you still haven’t found anything useful.”
