All Chapters of After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

It was as if nothing could hold him back or tie him down anymore.As if this was who he had truly been all along.Zac had been beaten so badly that he could no longer feel his face.The sharp taste of blood filled his nose and mouth.He had no doubt that Lucas was trying to beat him to death.He opened his mouth and called for help weakly.“I… I don’t need your apology anymore. Fiona… save me…”Fiona finally snapped back to herself and rushed forward to pull Lucas away.“Lucas, are you insane? You’re going to kill him!”But before Fiona reached him, Lucas had already let Zac go.Zac collapsed weakly to the floor, barely conscious and struggling to breathe.“Zac? Zac!”Fiona called his name while taking out her phone to call 911.Lucas had no interest in watching their little act. Without another word, he turned and walked away.Fiona shouted, “Lucas, where are you going?”Lucas didn’t even look back.“Ms. Shaw, that’s none of your business.”Fiona watched him walk fart

Yvette glared at Ivy.“Who the hell are you? I’m talking to Lucas. Since when is it your place to interrupt?”Ivy remained perfectly calm. She smoothed a strand of hair beside her cheek and said, “I’m Ivy Quinn, the new head of the Quinn family.”The room broke into an uproar.Disbelief was still written all over everyone’s faces.No one wanted to believe that this young woman in front of them was really the new head of the Quinn family.Some of the older guests had dealt with the Quinn family before. They still remembered that the previous head had been a huge, intimidating man with a fierce temper and an even fiercer face.It seemed the Quinn family had really fallen.They had actually handed the entire family over to a little girl.The contempt in everyone’s eyes became obvious.Yvette laughed even more disdainfully. She crossed her arms and looked down at Ivy, clearly using her height to her advantage.“Little girl, I suggest you stay out of other people’s business. But

Lucas understood what Ivy was doing too.He didn’t feel disappointed. Instead, a faint warmth rose in his chest.At least Fiona had never protected him like this before.So far, he was very satisfied with Ivy as a boss.Most of the guests didn’t object.They had already heard that the Quinn family had come back prepared this time, with several government-backed projects in hand.They had attended the gala because they wanted a piece of the pie.Naturally, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to embarrass the host in public.To them, profit mattered most.They were not like Yvette, a spoiled rich girl who had been sheltered her whole life and offended people just because she felt like it.Of course, not everyone took Ivy’s warning seriously.A handsome young heir let out a mocking laugh.“Ms. Quinn, of course we’re here tonight because we’re interested in working with you. But the man standing beside you is a little hard to take seriously, don’t you think? How is someone like him

Fiona stared at him, stunned.She bit her lip and asked, unwilling to accept it, “How can there be nothing between us? We were this close to getting married.”“This close still means it didn’t happen. I’m sure I don’t need to explain something that simple to you, Ms. Shaw.”Every time Lucas called her “Ms. Shaw”, it felt like a blade twisting in Fiona’s chest.She knew Lucas was still blaming her for using him in the hostage exchange.And that had been her fault. She hadn’t thought it through. He had every right to be angry with her.So no matter how cold he was, she refused to leave.Her voice softened.“Lucas, I know you’re still angry. You’re only doing this to make me jealous.“I admit it. It worked. I don’t care why you’re with Ivy. Go explain things to her right now, and then come home with me.”Lucas listened to her and seriously wondered if Fiona had somehow caught Zac’s delusions.How had they only been apart for a while, yet Fiona seemed to have lost her mind too?

“Like what?”“Like proposing to him.”Proposing?Fiona was stunned.That was something she had never even considered.“I know proposals are usually done by men, and it might feel a little embarrassing for a woman to take the initiative. But things are different now. If you propose to Lucas, it’ll show him exactly how important he is to you.“Think about it. You show up with a huge bouquet of roses, put a ring you personally chose on his finger, and promise him forever. How romantic would that be? What man wouldn’t be touched by that?”Fiona said nothing for a long moment.Zoe’s words were like a ray of light, clearing away the gloom in her heart.Her face flushed with excitement. She threw her arms around Zoe and kissed her on the cheek.“Zoe, thank you. I’ll go prepare everything right now.”With that, she quickly stood and strode toward the door.“Hey! I haven’t treated your ankle yet!”Before Zoe could finish, Fiona had already disappeared through the doorway.Zoe pres
