All Chapters of After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Lucas was happy to hear that Ivy had a way to clear up the rumors.But what did she mean by needing his permission?He looked at Ivy intently.“Tell me. If it can clear things up, I’ll agree to anything.”Under his honest, burning gaze, Ivy felt slightly uncomfortable.She cleared her throat.“Let me say this first. After I tell you, you can’t get mad at me. And if you feel offended, then I’m apologizing in advance.”The more she said that, the more curious Lucas became.“Okay. Tell me.”Ivy took a deep breath.It was better to rip off the bandage all at once.So she simply said everything in one breath.“The truth is, your phone has a surveillance app developed by the Quinn family installed on it.”“A surveillance app?”Lucas was completely stunned.“When was it installed? Why don’t I remember anything like that?”Ivy guiltily looked away.“On your first day of work. Mr. Grant installed it when you weren’t paying attention.”Lucas frowned.“You…”Ivy quickly cut in

Because Lucas hadn’t called ahead, the children had already gone downtown with the staff for their annual physicals by the time he arrived at the orphanage.Only Ms. Gordon and a few staff members were still there.Lucas handed the gifts he had brought for the children to a staff member he knew, then went to find Ms. Gordon.At that moment, Ms. Gordon was working in the vegetable garden.Because the orphanage had limited funding, Ms. Gordon had led the staff a few years ago in clearing a large plot of land behind the main building. They used it to grow vegetables so the children could have more fresh food in their meals.“Ms. Gordon.”Lucas walked into the vegetable garden.Ms. Gordon paused with the hoe in her hands.When she saw that it was Lucas, surprise and joy spread across her face.“Lucas, you’re here. Why didn’t you call me first?”“I was handling something nearby, so I thought I’d stop by and see the kids.”Lucas gave a casual explanation, then picked up the bucket

“I’m not misunderstanding anything. The truth is, Miles is trying to destroy me, and I don’t even know what I did to make him hate me this much.”Lucas looked at Ms. Gordon.“If I had been the one the Owen family took back then, do you think things would be different now?”Lucas kept pressing, and Ms. Gordon could barely hold herself together.Her expression had already given her away. There had to be something suspicious about the way Miles had been taken in by the Owen family back then.But for some reason, she still refused to tell him the truth.“Lucas, that’s all just speculation,” Ms. Gordon said. “I really don’t know what happened between you and Miles. After the Owen family took him away, I never saw him again. I don’t even know what he looks like now. If you want to know why he’s treating you this way, you should ask him yourself.”Even now, Ms. Gordon was still making excuses and trying to distance herself from what had happened back then.Lucas’s eyes turned cold.O

“Ms. Hayes, have you ever seen this man at the orphanage?”Lucas pulled up a photo of Miles on his phone and handed it to Ms. Hayes.Ms. Hayes took the phone and studied the picture for a long moment before shaking her head.“I don’t think so.”Lucas felt a little disappointed.He didn’t believe Miles had never come back to see Ms. Gordon all these years.If there really was something wrong with his identity and Miles was afraid of being exposed, Ms. Gordon would be the first person he would come to.“This is what Miles Chase looks like now,” Lucas said. “He came back to Jasper City a few years ago and visited Ms. Gordon a few times. Think carefully, Ms. Hayes. Did you ever run into him?”Of course, Lucas was only guessing that Miles had come back to visit Ms. Gordon.But as long as Miles had shown up at the orphanage, there should have been some trace of it.After all, not many people came to the orphanage on a regular basis. Miles was also handsome enough to leave an impres

Lucas’s furious voice echoed through the hospital room.Even now, he still couldn’t believe it.The friend he had treated like a real brother was actually a monster trying to drag him down into hell.Miles opened his eyes, still shaken from the punch.When he heard Lucas’s accusation, he no longer felt like pretending.Fine.If Lucas wanted to tear things open completely, then so be it.Miles didn’t believe Lucas would actually dare to kill him here.Then, slowly and deliberately, he said, “Lucas, why are you so angry? Didn’t you say it yourself? Good friends are supposed to share. I only took one identity from you. Is that really worth getting this upset over?“Besides, why should every good thing belong to you? Back at the orphanage, we both had nothing. But the Shaw family chose you right away and wanted to take you in as Fiona’s future husband. Then the Owen family came along and wanted to bring you home as their heir. You already had the Shaws. What was wrong with letting
