Alle Kapitel von After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Kapitel 231 – Kapitel 240

But when Lucas thought about the car accident, guilt still pressed heavily on his chest, and his expression dimmed.The moment Ivy saw his face, she guessed what he was thinking.Lucas really was easy to read. Whatever he felt showed right on his face.Someone like him was straightforward. No hidden agenda, no complicated games. Ivy liked that about him.She spoke first. “What happened today wasn’t your fault. You don’t need to blame yourself.”Lucas hadn’t expected her to say that. He froze slightly. “Ms. Quinn…”Ivy smiled faintly, but her eyes turned a little colder. “Besides, I can more or less guess who was behind it.”Lucas immediately perked up. “Who?”“The Westside gang. A crude hit like ramming someone on the highway? No one else would do something that stupid and reckless except those brainless idiots.”At the mention of Westside, Lucas remembered.Mr. Quinn Sr. was about to return to the country. While Ivy was preparing to get legally married to Lucas, she had also

It was their engagement party. So why did Lucas look like he didn’t think his opinion mattered at all?She nodded firmly, giving him a clear answer.“Of course you get a say. This is our engagement party. Even if we’re putting it on for my grandfather, it’s still a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. Of course we should do it properly.”The tension in Lucas’s chest eased a little.The truth was, his engagement party with Fiona had left him with too many terrible memories.Back then, he had been full of joy. He had planned every detail of the party with care.From the venue setup and the guest list to every dish and every bottle of wine, he had poured his heart into it. He had wanted everything to be perfect, to give Fiona the best engagement party possible.But Fiona had only shown up briefly before abandoning everyone and leaving.She had gone to attend Zac Carter’s movie premiere.Someone had taken photos and posted them in the group chat.Just like that, Lucas had become a j

Unexpectedly, every single one of them looked good on paper but turned out to be rotten underneath.Men who kept mistresses and juggled half a dozen women were practically normal by comparison.She could even overlook the ones involved with their stepmothers or adopted sisters.But the ones who were into group sex with men and other kinks she didn’t even want to think about?That was a whole new level of insanity.There were eighty-eight men in that booklet, and she couldn’t find a single decent option.Was this really Grandpa’s taste?No.He was doing it on purpose.He couldn’t wait to see her marry some piece of trash and spend the rest of her life miserable.Ivy was completely disappointed in him. He did nothing but make her life harder.Since she had to get married anyway, she might as well pick someone good-looking, decent, and easy on the eyes.Lucas was the final choice she had settled on.Besides, she had given Lucas a job when he was at his lowest. In a way, she h

Mason’s tone was arrogant, completely unconcerned about whether anyone ended up dead.Clearly, he had someone powerful backing him.The chill in Lucas’s eyes deepened.He glanced at the men behind him. “Be careful. Staying alive comes first.”“Yes.”The moment he finished speaking, Mason’s men charged.Lucas’s side didn’t back down. They rushed forward to meet them head-on.At this point, there was nothing left to say.The only thing that mattered was who came out on top.Whoever won got to make the rules.Mason’s target was obvious.He went straight for Lucas.If he could bury Lucas here today, Miles would pay him handsomely.With the Owen family behind him, Mason had every reason to be arrogant.The thought made his eyes turn vicious.He threw a punch straight at Lucas’s chest, putting all his strength behind it.He knew exactly where to hit someone to do the most damage.His fist came at Lucas like a sledgehammer.Lucas dodged to the side with terrifying speed and

When Lucas saw Fiona trying to get out of bed, he stopped her at once.“You’re hurt. Stay in bed.”Of course, he wasn’t saying it out of concern.He simply didn’t want to get too close to her.Fiona clearly misunderstood.She thought he was worried about her and didn’t want her pushing herself.So she obediently sat back down.Her eyes, dull for so long, suddenly brightened with joy.A faint flush rose over her pale, sickly face, making her look a little more alive.She knew it.Once Lucas found out she was hurt, there was no way he would be able to stay away.See?He had come to the hospital to visit her today, hadn’t he?Lucas still cared about her.After so many years together, feelings couldn’t just disappear because he said they were gone.Even if he kept saying he didn’t love her anymore, his actions had still brought him here.He hadn’t even lasted one full day before rushing to the hospital to see her.Joy surged through Fiona’s chest.As long as Lucas still h
