Author: Sammie Snow
After everything that had happened to the Owen family, the guests knew it was time to leave.

One by one, they said their goodbyes and headed out.

They also needed to get word of Ethan’s accident back to their families as soon as possible.

Some were already wondering whether the situation might create new opportunities for them.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

  • After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love   Chapter 385

    Lucas could barely believe what he was hearing.“Seriously? Grandpa would actually do something like that?”Ivy’s eyes turned cold.“He’s done things far worse than this. Eavesdropping is nothing.”Lucas fell silent.He honestly couldn’t picture a man in his seventies standing outside the door listening to his own granddaughter and her fiancé having sex.Was that really just about making sure their relationship was real?“Don’t worry,” Ivy said. “Grandpa only wants to make sure our engagement is real. You haven’t been home for days, so he was already suspicious. Now that you’re finally back, he’ll probably watch us even more closely.“So we’ll just give him what he wants to see.”Ivy was remarkably calm about the whole thing.Whatever Mr. Quinn Sr. tried, they would find a way around it.Lucas finally understood what she was asking.She wanted him to help put on a convincing show of an affectionate couple so they could fool Mr. Quinn Sr.The situation was undeniably awkwar

    “S-Sleep with you?”Lucas stared at her, convinced he had misheard.Ivy repeated herself with a perfectly serious expression.“Yes. Sleep with me.”Lucas’s face went red almost instantly, the color spreading all the way down his neck.His heart began pounding against his ribs.Heat rushed through him, leaving him suddenly flustered and short of breath.He tugged at his collar as if that might help, then looked away from Ivy, too embarrassed to meet her eyes.“Isn’t that… a little too far?”The agreement they had made in the beginning was only supposed to be an act.There had never been anything in it about actually sleeping together.Besides, they weren’t really in that kind of relationship. Doing something so intimate without those feelings between them just didn’t seem right.Had Mr. Quinn Sr. been pressuring Ivy so much about having a baby that she had decided to take drastic measures?But Lucas had already had a vasectomy.If they were actually trying for a baby, he w

    Lucas hadn’t known Mr. Quinn Sr. for very long, but he already understood what kind of man he was.If there was nothing in it for him, he would never lift a finger to help.So if he had gone out of his way to find a medical team for Gina, Ivy had to be behind it somehow.Ivy didn’t hide anything from him. She told him exactly what had happened while he had been away these past few days.“Grandpa only cares about one thing right now, and that’s having a great-grandchild.“You were gone for several days straight, so he came after me instead. He said we’re already engaged, so why couldn’t I keep you interested enough to stop you from constantly running off?“He wanted to know how we were ever supposed to have a baby if you were never home.”And that was still putting it politely.At the time, Mr. Quinn Sr. had been furious and had said far worse.He had even told Ivy that if she couldn’t keep Lucas interested, Gwen could take her place.As far as he was concerned, it didn’t matt

    The moment Gwen heard that Knight might be the one to deal with her, all the color drained from her face.Whatever anger she had been holding onto disappeared at once.She lowered her head, too frightened to argue anymore.“Yes, Grandpa. I understand.”“Now get out! You don’t deserve to sit at this table.”Mr. Quinn Sr. had never been one to show mercy to anyone who angered him.Humiliated, Gwen climbed to her feet, covered her swollen cheek, and ran upstairs in tears.Ivy watched her leave with quiet satisfaction.Seeing Gwen get put in her place was always satisfying.Still, Gwen never seemed to learn. Sooner or later, she would find another way to stir up trouble.At least with her grandfather keeping Gwen in check, Ivy had one less thing to worry about.Once Gwen was gone, the mood at the table noticeably improved.Mr. Quinn Sr., in particular, seemed to have completely changed his attitude toward Lucas.He smiled warmly.“Lucas, I misjudged you. I hope you won’t hold

    Gwen scoffed, refusing to entertain Ivy’s excuses.Instead, she turned directly to Lucas.“Lucas, are you seriously going to claim these photos are fake?“Are you going to deny that you met other women at the coffee shop today?”Lucas didn’t appreciate her aggressive tone, but clearing up the misunderstanding mattered more than arguing with her.He stood and picked up the photos scattered across the table one by one.Ivy tugged lightly on his sleeve, looking a little worried.Lucas felt it and gave her a reassuring smile.Once he had gathered the photos, he looked calmly at Mr. Quinn Sr.His expression was grim, as though one wrong answer from Lucas would be enough to push him over the edge.Lucas remained completely unfazed.“These photos are real.”Gwen’s face immediately lit up with triumph.“See, Grandpa? I told you he was seeing other women!“And these are just the two I happened to catch. Who knows how many more he has on the side?“With Ivy’s personality, do you r

    Ivy had no intention of letting Gwen walk all over her.If Gwen wanted to start trouble, Ivy was more than happy to turn it right back on her.Gwen immediately lost her temper.“Ivy, what the hell are you talking about?”“Enough!”Mr. Quinn Sr. slammed a hand down on the table.The sharp bang silenced the entire dining room.His cold gaze settled on Gwen.“If you’re going to make accusations, then show us the evidence. Stop wasting everyone’s time arguing.”“Of course I have evidence.”Gwen lifted her chin smugly and pulled several photographs from her pocket.She slapped them down on the table.“Here. Take a look.”There were several photos, all taken from close range.Even from across the table, it was easy to see who was in them.They had been taken outside the coffee shop earlier that day.One showed Fiona holding on to Lucas’s sleeve, the two of them standing unusually close together.The photo had been taken from just the right angle.Lucas’s expression was most

    Lucas pulled himself out of the memory and looked coldly at Rachel standing across from him.“I made myself very clear on the day of the wedding. From now on, Fiona Shaw and I have nothing to do with each other.“So I suggest you leave right now, Ms. Tate. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.

    Two weeks later, Fiona returned to the country after wrapping up the Hangelia project.At the airport, she saw the private car waiting to pick her up and frowned.“Why is it you? Where’s Lucas?”The night before her flight home, she had specifically asked her executive assistant, Rachel Tate, to

    After Fiona tore into him, Lucas had been too stunned to say a word.But the truth was, he had never wanted luxury gifts.He only wanted to know that she had thought of him while she was away.Even the smallest, most meaningless thing would have made him happy.But she had never given him even t

    After visiting Zac at the hospital, Fiona went straight back to the company the next day.In the CEO’s office, Fiona sat behind her desk, a trace of exhaustion showing on her cool, beautiful face.She closed her eyes, rubbed the space between her brows, and called out instinctively, “Lucas, get me
