“Lucas…” She looked at him pleadingly.

Lucas suddenly smiled.

A very familiar scene.

When Olivia was accused of plagiarism, he stood by her side then, standing against Natasha.

And then?

Because of Roderick, he believed her and protected her.

Even though he knew that she was the one who ruined Natasha’s dancing, he went against his conscience to help her, reduce her sentence, and even fell into

Ramona’s trap, losing his father’s trust.

He pushed her hand away.

Olivia looked at him in disbelief. “We are married; my imprisonment will also affect you.”

Lucas smiled indifferently. “So what? My life has already been ruined by you.”

“You promised Roderick you would take care of me! Are you worthy of him saving your life?” Olivia demanded sharply.

Lucas was momentarily dazed.

Roderick, Roderick… For him, Lucas made so many mistakes.

Should he keep making mistakes for Roderick?

He might as well have given this life back to Roderick from the start.

In the villa, Natasha’s eyes widened from the moment Thomas appeared.

Someone was cutting in line, sending their gift before hers?

Alexei sneered. “The Clark family isn’t stupid when it comes to their own

interests.”

They even found evidence and targeted their revenge precisely.

Alexei said, “Shawn is too slow.”

*****

On the screen, the often–bonus–threatened Shawn made a flashy entrance the second after Alexei’s comment.

He wiped his sweat. He just wanted Lucas and Olivia’s ceremony to be completed, to lock them in tighter. Who could have known there was someone inside trying to steal the spotlight?

Behind him, two bodyguards pushed in a huge gift box.

Shawn put on a professional smile, ignoring the grim bride and groom and the guests who were once again startled by the unexpected arrival. “Mr. Wright, Miss Sutton, happy wedding!”

He scanned the room. “Nice, nice, quite lively today.”

Lucas’s jaw tightened. He stared intensely at him. “What are you doing here?”

Shawn smiled, tapping the large gift box. “Nothing much. Miss Clark was very grateful for your past care, even though her life had its ups and downs. Although she didn’t receive an invitation this time, she still thought of you, so she asked me to deliver a gift to repay your kindness.”

Olivia’s eyes filled with dread as she thought of something.

Lucas’s lips trembled, a mix of a cry and a laugh. “Natasha… asked you to give me a gift? She wishes me a happy wedding?”

“Of course, this gift was carefully prepared by Miss Clark, and she specifically requested that you sign for it personally.”

Someone among the guests whispered, “Didn’t they say Natasha had a very unpleasant falling out with these two? Could the rumors be false?”

“Maybe it’s to thank Lucas for not marrying her? She and Mr. Turner are deeply in love now.”

“That’s harsh! Compared to them, these two getting married today are truly a joke. Didn’t you see how dark Lucas‘ face was when he exchanged rings? Olivia couldn’t even maintain her smile.”

The various sounds of sighs and mockery made Margot and Emmanuel uneasy.

Lucas stepped forward, wanting to open the box.

Regardless, Natasha gave this to him.

However, Olivia clutched him tightly, as if seeing something terrifying. “No, don’t open it,” she said.

Lucas frowned. “Let go,” he said.

But Olivia refused to let go.

Amidst the stalemate, the gift box in the center of the venue suddenly burst open from the inside.

A man emerged from the box, grinning, and exclaimed, “Surprise!”

Damn, he was so stifled!

A familiar face met the eyes of everyone present.

Lucas‘ pupils constricted, and Olivia’s face turned ashen.

Even Margot and Emmanuel, shocked, took two steps forward, their mouths agape.

The Clark family of four, who knew this person, were equally surprised, but Thomas quickly understood after being stunned for a while.

Considering the hidden circumstances around Emilia’s death, a repeat wasn’t strange.

His smile was sarcastic. ‘Like mother, like daughter!‘

“Roderick?” Lucas looked at Roderick in front of him in disbelief.

Young people who had been familiar with Olivia and Lucas were stunned, asking, “Roderick? Isn’t he Olivia’s ex–boyfriend?”

“I heard he had an accident at sea a few years ago and died saving Lucas.”

“No way! He’s back from the dead!”

Lucas tuned out all the speculative chatter, staring intently at Roderick. He gritted out, “You’re not dead.”

Shawn smiled. “Of course not. He’s been living quite lavishly in Nornytaar for the past few years, using the money Miss Sutton gave him. Mr. Wright, do you like this gift?”

Roderick had a smile on his face, but his legs were already trembling.

But he dared not run; running would only double the torment. Ever since Natasha found him, his life had been a living hell, and he just wanted this to be over.

He swallowed, forced a smile, and greeted Lucas, “Lucas, long time no see.”

He looked at Olivia. “Miss Sutton,” he said, “we previously agreed that I would act as your boyfriend for money, then stage a rescue and disappear for more money. But you’ve cut off my funding for a long time now, so my return shouldn’t be considered a breach of contract, right?”

Olivia’s head was buzzing.

Natasha truly knew how to make her more furious.

However, Lucas’s fist was quicker than her words.

He lunged forward like a madman, punching Roderick in the face. “You all deceived me! You tricked me into believing I owed you, and colluded with Olivia! Roderick, I thought you were my friend! How could you do this to me?”

Scenes from the past flashed in his mind: Roderick, exhausted in the sea; Olivia, teary–eyed; and Natasha, lost and hurt.

His mind felt like it was about to explode, and his heart was shattering into pieces.

Roderick tried to dodge, but was still tackled to the ground and brutally beaten.

Roderick said, “I didn’t mean to. It was Olivia! She bribed me to do it. She was jealous of Natasha and wanted to snatch you away from her.”

Lucas was silent, his eyes red, like a beast that had lost its mind. Each punch landed harder than the last.

Because of two deceivers, he lost the love of his life.
