Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 391 - Bab 400

Lucian shot Calista a slightly exasperated glance."I'm nothing like the unfaithful guy in the movie. Lily and I never kissed, never slept together, I never made any promises, and we never even got to the stage of considering getting married."Calista remained silent."I was kind to her, not only because of her dad. I wanted to see if it would make you jealous," Lucian explained.However, Lucian observed that Calista showed no signs of jealousy. He was infuriated, feeling like he had made a big mistake.Calista stood up and whispered, "I was jealous.""What?" Lucian asked."How could you be so clueless ..."Suddenly, Lucian abruptly stood up and drew Calista into his embrace from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder before she could finish her sentence."Callie, I heard you," he whispered."So, why did you ask?" Calista retorted."I just wanted to hear it again, you know. You've never spoken any tender words or shown any affection toward me, not even when we were married

"I heard that the Micom Group's heir was madly in love with his childhood sweetheart. There was an incident when a rich and influential man harassed her, and he badly hurt that man.""Initially, he was supposed to be charged with assault, but the Micom Group heiress used her influence to keep it quiet. Eventually, he was compelled to marry the heiress, and his childhood sweetheart became his secret lover, hidden from the public eye."Lucian started sharing, and Calista listened with great interest, hoping for more details. However, Lucian's knowledge was limited, and he had already shared all he knew."However, these are just rumors. Only the parties involved know what's going on," Lucian explained.Calista commented, "Forced? He was just after her money, plain and simple. If he can't handle criticism, why even engage in such despicable actions to begin with? It's just an excuse to mask how awful he is."Lucian remained silent, not wanting to argue with her."So, what does this h

Calista looked up and met eyes with the middle-aged woman, who immediately broke into a wide grin. The woman found Calista stunning and an excellent match for her son.Calista seemed a well-bred and polite young lady compared to the reckless and uncivilized Vivian.The woman's earlier confrontational demeanor was nowhere to be seen as she asked Calista with a friendly tone, "Miss, may I have your birth date? Ah, ah, ah ..."Suddenly, the woman whimpered. Lucian increased the pressure on his grip, causing her face to contort in pain.Her knees buckled, and her voice strained as she begged, "Let go, let go, please let go ..."The pressure from Lucian's grip was so intense that she could almost hear her bones creaking.Lucian's expression remained unyielding, and in her desperation, she cried out, "Help, someone's trying to murder ...""She's not someone you can plot against," Lucian interrupted, shoving her aside.The woman stumbled a few steps back before falling to the ground.

Lucian phrased his words without skipping a beat. But after all that, what he wanted was to ask Hugo to not get in his way. Hugo was infuriated, yet amused. "Rest assured. I'll handle the engagement. I'm not going to do something sickly like marrying the younger generation of the family to a vegetable for the sake of our reputation."Lucian was at a loss for words.Although he had Hugo's words and he knew even if Calista was his daughter, she wouldn't be forced to marry the vegetable for the sake of receiving their favor, he wasn't happy with it. "To turn on your words doesn't seem like a sensible man would do. Criticisms will surely come to you easily." "I appreciate your concern, Mr. Northwood. But it's not like I'm getting in on years for nothing, as I've gone through a lot, and the last thing I'd do is to be threatened by someone else," Hugo stated firmly.He continued, "We do appreciate his son's favor, but we can't marry the daughters of the Jacquez family to him just

Yara's expression turned bitter. "... Mr. Howard, we're acquaintances, right? You don't have to be that harsh."Lucian was an angel compared to Timothy."Didn't you make the promise? You just don't feel like keeping up to your promise, don't you?"Yara was at a loss for words. It's not like there's any way possible for her to keep up to this promise. Timothy frowned as he tugged on his shirt. It was unpleasant having the wet shirt clung to his body."I got into trouble because of you. Out of guilt, shouldn't you accompany me to buy a suit as a token of apology?" "Then how about the deal with them? How about the 6800 dollar compensation? Do you not want it?""My assistant will deal with it.""No way," Yara said.She wore a pair of heels today for the sake of her blind date. Knowing Timothy, she knew he wouldn't stop until he had thoroughly explored the entire mall.She didn't want to be unable to get out of bed tomorrow.Firmly, she stated, "It's so late now, and I'm worrie
