《Destiny Picked a Better Man》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 9 章

Claire's voice cracked by the last few words. I hadn’t even processed what she was implying when Lucas stepped forward and helped her up. When he turned to look at me, his gaze carried something new—hatred.“This has nothing to do with Claire,” he said sharply. “Why would you treat her like that?”The accusation came out of nowhere.“I didn’t—”“You really were spoiled rotten, weren’t you?” he cut me off. “So spoiled you think the world should bend to you.”Before I could even respond, someone nearby stepped up with an overly eager smile, holding out a gift box.“Mr. Whitmore, a little something to celebrate your engagement to Miss Meyer—”Before he finished, Lucas snatched the box and hurled it at me.“Destiny,” he growled, “apologize to Claire.”“If you don’t, I’ll call off the engagement. I don’t care if the Whitmores aren’t as powerful as the Meyers, I will not marry an evil woman like you!”...The box was beautifully wrapped, but one sharp corner sliced my chin open as

On Claire's account that had millions of followers, she posted a photo with the caption:“A perfect day: the right dress, the right hand to hold, listening to music I love.”The image showed her and Lucas holding hands, kissing like no one else existed.Almost immediately, the media started digging through my old posts—especially the ones where I’d publicly confessed to Lucas. They lined them up next to Claire’s and turned it into an online roast session.The worst part? Lucas liked one of the top comparison videos.That made everything worse and added fuel to fire.“Destiny Meyer humiliated” became a meme.I deleted my account without another word and sent a message to our company’s PR team.Ten minutes later, all the related posts and trending hashtags were wiped clean....The day before the engagement party.I stopped by the office to handle some documents, but before I could even settle in, two of the Whitmores’ bodyguards forced me into a black SUV and drove me straigh

Lucas laughed.“Well, if it isn’t Mr. Morgan. I didn’t think my engagement to Destiny would be enough to drag you out from your seclusion.“What’s the matter? Been meditating so much that you started confusing my fiancée for yours?“Everyone knows Destiny Meyer has only ever loved me. She’s been chasing me since we were kids.”Liam stepped in front of me, shielding most of my body. Only half of me was still visible.“Lucas, open your eyes. This is my engagement party with Mr. Morgan.”Lucas followed my hand, looking in the direction I pointed. Before he could spot the names on the banner, both of our families walked out to greet the guests.My parents had always treated Lucas politely before I made my final decision about who to marry. But this time, they ignored him completely and smiled only at Liam.“Liam,” my mom said kindly, “Destiny can be a little stubborn sometimes. Please be patient with her.”“Don’t worry, ma’am,” Liam replied gently. “Destiny and I get along well. I

We were stunned for a moment. When we turned to look at Lucas, his face was dark with anger.“Destiny, stop lying to yourself,” he said coldly.“You left that ring on my desk. It was proof that you wanted to marry me.”Liam finally understood and let out a small smirk.“I remember now. A month before I transferred schools, I was seated next to him.”So that’s what happened—Lucas had misunderstood.“Good thing it still ended up with me,” Liam said, holding up the ring.I laughed and slid the ring onto his finger, completely ignoring Lucas, who was still standing there with a bouquet of roses in his hands.“Destiny! Even if that ring wasn’t meant for me, you’ve loved me all these years!” Lucas shouted.“I still have all your old love messages saved. You can’t deny it!”He sounded so sure of himself. He even opened his phone and showed me those old texts where I confessed my feelings to him.I glanced at the screen, but didn’t linger.“You’re right. I loved you for many years,
