All Chapters of After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Why?Why was Lucas always so lucky?Before, he had Fiona protecting him.Now, he had Ivy backing him.That only made Miles’s job harder.If God had been kind enough to give him even a fraction of Lucas’s luck, he wouldn’t be in such a difficult position now.Seeing Miles zone out at a time like this, Gwen stomped her foot in frustration.“Miles, Ivy is getting engaged. That’ll make it even harder for me to replace her as head of the Quinn family. Without my support, how are you supposed to rise in the Owen family and take control there?“We’ve worked so hard to get this far. Are we really going to give up now?”A ruthless glint flashed through Miles’s eyes.“You’re right. We can’t give up now.”Gwen looked at him hopefully.“Do you have a plan?”Miles gave a cold smile.“The best plan is to make sure Ivy and Lucas never get engaged.”Gwen looked disappointed.“I don’t want them getting engaged either, but the party is only a few days away. It’s too late to stop it now.”

Since they were already talking about the orphanage, Lucas asked Miles, “By the way, have you gone back to see Ms. Gordon over the years?”At the mention of the orphanage director, something flickered across Miles’s face.But he quickly covered it with a sigh.“No. Most of my work has been overseas these past few years. The few times I came back, I was always in a rush. I never had time to visit her.”Lucas smiled.“When are you free? We should go back to the orphanage together and see the kids. Ms. Gordon would be so happy to see you.”“Sure. Once I get through this busy stretch, we’ll go.”Miles smiled and brushed it off.The two of them ate and talked.Lucas didn’t drink much, but with Miles urging him, he still had a few glasses.Once the alcohol settled in, the awkwardness from earlier faded, and the atmosphere grew much warmer.After one conversation came to an end, Miles suddenly stood up, looking a little embarrassed.“I think I drank too much. My stomach feels off.

Lucas was startled. He immediately backed away, putting several feet between himself and Gwen.Now he was sure.Gwen was up to no good.Gwen didn’t get angry when she saw his reaction.Instead, she smiled lightly.“Fine. Looks like you really don’t want this drink. I won’t force you, then. I’ll drink it for you.”With that, she raised the glass and splashed the whiskey straight onto her own face.The liquor ran down her cheeks.Some of it slid down her pale neck and chest, soaking the front of her sweater.She didn’t waste the second glass either.She poured that one over herself too.Her sweater was instantly drenched, the wet fabric clinging tightly to her body.Lucas was stunned by her outrageous move.Was she insane?What the hell was she doing?“You…”Before he could finish speaking, Gwen suddenly slapped herself hard across the face.Once.Then again.Her cheeks instantly turned red and swollen, two clear handprints appearing on her face.Then she pinched the

“Don’t cry. Tell us exactly what happened. If it’s true, I’ll make sure you get justice.”As he spoke, Miles cast a subtle glance at the wealthy playboys beside him.Sure enough, they all looked furious on Gwen’s behalf.Gwen leaned against Miles’s chest as if drawing strength from him.Wiping her tears, she said, “I really just wanted to thank him. But I never expected Lucas to put his hands on me. I told him I was your girlfriend, but he said you two were best friends, so what was wrong with sharing the same woman?“I fought him as hard as I could, but he called me a bitch, poured alcohol all over me, and tore at my clothes. He tried to force me right there in the room.”The more Gwen spoke, the harder she cried.“Miles, look. He gave me all these bruises. And my right arm. He broke it. He was so cruel.”Through her tears, Gwen lifted her face and showed everyone the injuries on her body.Her clothes were a mess, and her fair skin was covered in dark bruises.At first glanc

“Who the hell said we were friends?”Lucas was furious, but Miles kept playing the victim. Every word out of his mouth made him sound hurt and wronged.The people around them immediately felt sorry for Miles, and their anger toward Lucas grew even stronger.Miles took in their reactions.Inwardly, he sneered.This was exactly what he wanted.Even if tonight didn’t completely destroy Lucas, as long as the story spread, Lucas’s reputation in Jasper City would be finished.While the two sides were still locked in a standoff, the police arrived.The wealthy playboys were all smooth talkers. They immediately gave the officers their version of what had happened from beginning to end.Of course, their version was full of bias and should have been taken with a grain of salt.To avoid disrupting the restaurant’s business, the police took Lucas, Miles, and Gwen to the station to sort everything out.Once they were gone, there was no reason for the crowd to stay either.Before long, w
