The Lie of My Childhood Friend Chapter 10
The partnership between the Chase and Lawson families progressed steadily.Three years later, Laura and I got married.We chose a vintage foreign town as the wedding venue, where every household hung colorful wind chimes.When a gentle breeze passed through, crisp chimes rang out—like sincere blessings in every note.Near the end of the ceremony, I received a wedding gift.There was no name, but everyone recognized the Shaw family’s seal.After Laura officially took over the Lawson Group, she launched a comprehensive and intense suppression of the Shaw family.If losing Ms. Lawson had once turned the Shaw family into a tower on the verge of collapse—Then after being handled by Laura, what remained of the Shaw family was only scattered rubble.She would never let go of the family that had betrayed her mother.I chose to cooperate without hesitation, and even escalated it further.Within the circle, the Shaw family’s name had long ceased to exist.Because anyone who had betr

After we finished giving statements at the police station and came out, it was already very late, so I simply took Laura back to my place.The next morning when I opened my eyes, breakfast had already been set out in front of me.I leaned lazily against the doorframe, watching the person seriously washing the dishes. “So domestic?”“Since I didn’t have a title yet, of course I had to be a little domestic to leave a good impression on my partner.“Otherwise, what if he got mad and didn’t want me anymore?”I scraped the tip of her nose, listening to her complaining and teasing.I felt helpless, recalling how my friends had stared at Laura with blatant gossiping faces when we left last night.While casually scrolling through my phone, my eyes landed on a piece of news, and I laughed.“If you want a title, here it comes.”The headline that shot to the top of the trending list was bolded in big letters.“The heir of the Chase family behaved improperly and seduced a married woman.”

The next time I saw Lena was at the welcome-back dinner my friends arranged for me.We were all adults now, and conversations in the circle gradually shifted toward business and family enterprises.Soft lighting and slightly sweet wine made for a comfortable atmosphere.I couldn’t resist staying a little longer—until an uninvited guest suddenly walked in.The room fell into a strangely quiet pause.A friend tugged at my sleeve and whispered, “Harry, nobody invited her.”I nodded—I already knew.My friend let out a sigh of relief, then added with faint disdain, “That pair is considered pests in the circle now—family’s fallen, character’s worse. Especially Michael—he treats Lena like a precious trophy, and he’s wary of every man around her.”I tilted my head, and sure enough, Michael was trailing right behind Lena.Noticing my glance, he instinctively shrank his shoulders, then shot me a vicious glare.Lena seemed not to notice at all and went straight to sit in the seat across

The company headquarters was in the same city, so I simply drove home to pick up some documents.My mom had wanted me to live comfortably, so back then she bought a small villa with a garden.I pushed open the gate, but while entering the passcode, I was startled.There was actually someone sitting in the corridor by the door.She turned her head, and what met my eyes was a pair of swollen, red-rimmed eyes.I frowned. “Lena? How did you get in?”Then I suddenly noticed her bruised, purplish knees, and my expression tightened. “You climbed over the main gate to get into my house? Are you out of your mind?”The person who had remained silent just stared straight at me before abruptly speaking. “Harry, you’ve lost weight.”I had no idea what she wanted with that baffling small talk, so I turned around and was about to leave.But she suddenly lunged forward and hugged me.I flung her off and wiped my arm in disgust.“Lena, have some self-respect.”She let out a low laugh. “What

After the engagement banquet, my family arranged for me to intern at the company back home.My mom envisioned the future. “When the time comes, you two will handle the business back home, and Ms. Lawson and I will run the business abroad.”My dad quietly asked me to keep an eye on my mom so she wouldn’t get spirited away by Ms. Lawson.Carrying all these expectations, I boarded the plane home, unable to stop myself from laughing.When sending me onto the plane, Laura took one of the bells from the wind chime and placed it in my palm.She had always been reserved and courteous in front of me.Yet even she couldn’t resist letting the soft ringing express her longing.After several months away, Class A at First High was already a thing of the past.When my friends back home sent me the graduation photo without me in it, it felt strangely like a lifetime ago.In the picture, Lena and Michael stood side by side—quite fitting, actually.My eyes swept over their smiling faces, and I

I hadn’t spoken yet when Laura’s voice drifted over. “Harry, why don’t I take you to get familiar with your new school first?”She looked innocent, as if she were simply warm-hearted.Lena’s voice rose sharply. “Harry, are you with Laura? Where the hell are you?”I held the phone a little farther away and, for the first time, found Lena’s voice grating.“What does where I am have to do with you?”Lena seemed not to hear me, her voice tinged with disbelief. “Just to spite me, you actually went to find Laura? To get back at me, you’d even go to someone that low-class and vile, you…”Seeing her words grow harsher and harsher, I lost patience and snapped, “Shut up!”Taking a deep breath, I said firmly and without hesitation, “Lena, you’re the one who’s the most disgraceful.”At last, I had returned those words to her.“Don’t call me again—everything between us ends here.”After saying that, I hung up quickly and blocked and deleted the number as well.The world finally quietened
