She Undervalued Diamonds, He Overvalued Her Chapter 10
Lucas recounted everything that had happened in the hospital room to me while I sipped a cup of hazelnut latte.After hearing how Selena had worsened Hendrick's condition by bashing him with a stool, I failed to keep my laughter in."Oh wow… Those two sure are a match made in heaven!" Wiping away the mirthful tears leaking from the corner of my eyes, I added, "One’s a fool, the other’s rotten to the core. Let them stay stuck with each other—this way, they’ll never hurt anyone else again."As Lucas listened to the unguarded and carefree manner in which I was laughing, gentle amusement settled in his eyes.He waited till my laughter trailed off into soft chuckles before suddenly dropping onto one knee before me. Opening a small jewelry box, he showed me the exquisitely intricate diamond ring inside."Elle." Lucas lifted his head and stared straight into my eyes, a seriousness and passion I had never seen before shining in his gaze. "Marry me."This caught me completely by surpris

"Keep up appearances?" I scoffed. "Don't push the blame onto your circumstances or other people. At the end of the day, you only have your inherent rottenness and sense of inferiority to blame. "You got greedy, wanting the resources and respectability I brought to the table while also yearning to regain your so-called male pride from Selena. Hendrick Shaw, you truly are a pitiful, ridiculous man!""No, that's not it! Elle, the only woman I've ever loved is you…" Hendrick was still trying to defend himself."It seems you're quite free, Mr. Shaw, to have the time to come here and harass my fiancee." Lucas' voice rang out from behind me.Upon seeing Lucas, Hendrick exploded like a lit fuse. He pointed a finger at me and started yelling, "Noelle Turner, you're a promiscuous woman yourself! "We haven't even officially broken off our engagement, yet you already couldn't wait to throw yourself into another man's arms! You—"His harsh words were abruptly cut off as Lucas covered my ear

Sunlight filtered in through the glass windows, bathing me in a warm glow.Lucas looked at me gently. "Let the past remain in the past. Your future is just beginning."Locking eyes with him, I nodded.He was right. It was time for me to embark on a new journey in life.As for certain people, their nightmares were only just beginning.The vicious mudslinging between Hendrick and Selena was simply accelerating their mutual destruction. The true judgment day for both of them would come later.…One day, my peace and quiet were disrupted by an uninvited guest.Hendrick took advantage of the momentary lapse in security as the guards changed shifts to rush toward me. His clothes were in tatters, his eyes sunken. His confident demeanor of the past was long gone, leaving nothing but the desperation of a man at the end of his road."Elle, I was wrong! Please tell your brother and Lucas to have mercy on me!" Tears and snot trailed down his face as he clutched at the hem of my dress.

Following my return to the Turner residence, my grandfather placed me on house arrest to rest and recuperate.Worried that I would be traumatised by the incident, Noah sent two family doctors to take turns looking after me.As for Lucas, he dropped by almost every day. Sometimes, he would come bearing a beautiful bouquet of white irises or pastries from a famous bakery, fresh out of the oven.Most of the time, he sat on the couch by my room window and worked while updating me on the latest news regarding Selena and Hendrick.One afternoon, he pushed a glass of warm milk toward me and said, "The tide of online public opinion will turn today."Lowering my head, I quickly unlocked my phone and checked the trending topics on social media. As Lucas said, the top trending topics had changed."Selena Suther faked conversation records to frame Noelle Turner."Those fake conversation records that had been used to frame me were analysed by technical experts who then pointed out numerous s

"Who are you? Elle is my fiancee!" Hendrick retorted angrily.Selena took in Lucas' outstanding demeanor and strikingly handsome appearance, her eyes filling with jealousy.Letting out a scoff, Lucas brushed past Hendrick to approach me. He raised a hand to gently stroke my disheveled hair, then spoke in an infinitely gentler tone. "I'm sorry for being late. I've let you suffer."The facade of strength I had been showing crumbled in an instant, my eyes reddening.Lucas sighed helplessly. He sat on the bed and pulled me into his arms, blanket and all."Cry if you want to. You're fine now. I'm here for you."When Hendrick saw that, his eyes widened into a furious glare. He charged forward, intent on shoving Lucas aside. "Let her go!"However, before he could even get close, two bodyguards seized him in an immovable hold.Lucas didn't even turn his head as he waved dismissively and said, "It's too noisy in here. Clear the room."Understanding his meaning, the bodyguards instantly

I wrapped the blanket tightly around myself, staring icily at Desmond, who shook like a leaf."Desmond Zinch, I never knew you'd behave this recklessly in private.""Ms. Turner, I was wrong! I really didn't know it was you!" Desmond exclaimed. "I'll never do something like this again. Please have mercy just this once!"The sudden turn of events left Hendrick and Selena utterly dumbfounded. They exchanged a confused glance."M-Mr. Zinch." Hendrick finally gathered up the courage to step forward and ask warily, "Could you be mistaking her for someone else? Why are you being so respectful? She's just my fiancee…"Desmond leaped to his feet and smacked Hendrick with as much force as he could muster. "Hendrick Shaw, you bastard! You just landed me in trouble!"Then, Desmond hurriedly called his subordinate and ordered, "I need you to get a set of haute couture for Ms. Turner and deliver it to the hotel right now! Also, get an attentive female staff member up here to aid Ms. Turner! Hu
