All Chapters of After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Miles was extremely confident.Even if Lucas told Serena, she would never believe him.In Serena’s eyes, Lucas was already an unforgivable bastard.“Miles, you finally said what you really think. Since you want me dead, there’s no reason for me to hold back anymore.”Because of their childhood friendship, Lucas had originally wanted to give Miles a chance to confess.Miles had confessed.But he had no remorse at all. He still believed he had done nothing wrong.In that case, Lucas would teach him how to be a man.When you did something wrong, you stood there and took the consequences.“You… what are you trying to do?”Miles sensed the change in Lucas’s aura, and fear finally rose in his heart.Lucas’s face was expressionless. His fists clenched so hard his knuckles cracked.“Don’t do anything stupid. This is a hospital. There are security cameras.”Miles tried to get out of bed and run, but with one injured hand and one injured leg, he couldn’t move quickly.He had barely

Both of Lucas’s cheeks were red and swollen as he stared at Serena in a daze.He had thought Serena would at least listen to his explanation.He hadn’t expected her to slap him twice the moment she came in, or for every word out of her mouth to be so ruthless.The warmth she had shown him not long ago seemed to have vanished completely.Disappointment rose in Lucas’s chest despite himself.So this was the family affection he had always longed for.Serena saw the hurt in Lucas’s eyes, and pain pricked at her heart like a needle. Tears spilled down her face before she could stop them.She sniffed and forced herself to hold the rest back.She told herself she had done nothing wrong.Lucas had beaten Miles into this state. She had only slapped him twice. That was already merciful.“Lucas, don’t stand there looking so wronged! You’re the one who hurt Miles first. What I did was nothing compared to what you did.“You knew he was an artist. You knew he needed his hands to draw. But

Lucas left the hospital room and went straight downstairs to the lobby.The two slap marks on his face were too obvious to ignore. People passing by kept glancing at him curiously.Lucas acted as if he didn’t notice.Right now, his mind was a mess.Serena already resisted him so much that she practically wished he would disappear.Would the rest of the Owen family be the same?If none of them wanted him, then what was the point of returning to the Owen family at all?What he wanted was family.He wanted people who cared about him.Could the Owen family really give him that?Lost in thought, Lucas kept walking and accidentally bumped into someone.He apologized instinctively. “Sorry.”But the other person’s eyes lit up when she saw him. She quickly stepped in front of him and said happily, “Oh! Aren’t you the young man from last time?”Lucas looked up and immediately recognized her. She was the middle-aged nurse who had helped push Gina’s wheelchair last time.At the thoug

Gina could tell right away that Lucas was lying.Those were clearly two slap marks. There was no way he had gotten them by accidentally bumping into something.But since Lucas didn’t want to talk about it, she didn’t press him.She carefully dabbed the medicine over his face, then applied another layer of ointment to bring down the swelling.The ointment worked well. After a while, Lucas’s face already looked much better.Gina put the first-aid kit away. After thinking for a moment, she still spoke to him gently.“Lucas, I don’t know what happened, but if you need someone to talk to, you can talk to me.”Gina had seen how lost he looked earlier, and her heart ached for him.She didn’t know what he had gone through. They had only been apart for a few days, but his whole spirit seemed to have dimmed.Her words instantly settled Lucas’s uneasy heart.Gina was kind to him.She made him feel hopeful about having a family again.The hurt Serena had caused him suddenly didn’t seem

While Lucas was investigating Miles, Ivy wasn’t letting Gwen off the hook either.No one knew how to hit a woman where it hurt quite like another woman.After the rumors spread online, Ivy had someone release a clipped recording. Then she hired a wave of paid accounts to push it.Public opinion flipped almost overnight.The same people who had once chased Lucas across the internet and cursed him out under thousands of posts were now doing the same thing to Gwen.Even worse, Gwen had accounts on almost every major social media platform, so the trolls had no trouble finding her.On her profiles, Gwen was verified as a ballet dancer. She often posted videos of herself dancing, along with designer bags, jewelry, and luxury trips, carefully building the image of a rich young heiress.She had a decent following.After the recording came out, all of her accounts were flooded.The comment sections were full of people tearing her apart.Gwen was miserable. Lately, she didn’t even dare
