Chapter 291

The next morning, Gwen finally woke up.A nurse was changing her IV bag. When she saw Gwen open her eyes, she asked with concern, “Ms. Quinn, how are you feeling?”Gwen’s head was pounding.She vaguely remembered rushing out of the building to settle things with Ivy. Then, the moment she stepped outside, a speeding sedan had slammed into her.That was right.She had been in a car accident.“My leg! What happened to my leg?”Gwen screamed and tried to sit up. The nurse quickly held her down.“Ms. Quinn, please don’t get worked up. Your leg is fine.”Gwen’s heart finally settled when she heard that.Then the nurse added, “It’s just a fracture in your right leg. Don’t worry. The doctor has already set it. You’ll be fine after a couple of weeks of rest.”A fracture?Two weeks of rest?Then what about her competition next week?Gwen’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.The nurse quickly caught her and patted her cheek.“Ms. Quinn? Ms. Quinn, can you hear me?”Th

Chapter 292

On the third floor of the hospital, Miles had been living quite comfortably in his room these past few days.Although Lucas had beaten him so badly that he was stuck in bed, Serena came to visit him every day. She even brought him homemade chicken soup.Miles enjoyed her care while doing everything he could to turn her against Lucas.After listening to him for the past few days, Serena’s expression now darkened whenever Lucas’s name came up.Miles was very pleased with himself.His plan had worked beautifully.At the very least, it wouldn’t be easy for Lucas to return to the Owen family now.As for Ethan, who was about to return to Jasper City, Miles already had arrangements in place.A cold look flashed through his eyes.Someone would take care of that problem for him.Knock, knock.Someone knocked on the door, and a nurse’s voice came from outside.“Mr. Owen, sorry to disturb you.”The next moment, the door opened.Two nurses pushed a hospital bed into the room.Miles

Miles quickly typed out a text message and sent it to Fiona.After sending it, he put his phone away, and a dark smile spread across his face.So what if Lucas had beaten him half to death?Even lying in a hospital bed, Miles could still turn everything upside down without lifting a finger.“Lucas, just wait. Consider this my payback,” he muttered.There was only one day left before the engagement party, and Lucas was more nervous than he could explain.It was not his first engagement party, but he was still tense as hell.Maybe deep down, he was afraid the disaster from his last engagement party would happen all over again.He badly needed someone to talk to, so he called Kenneth and asked him to meet up.Kenneth had just received the invitation from the Quinn family and was still in shock when Lucas called.When he heard that Lucas wanted to meet, he agreed right away.He also wanted to ask what was going on with this sudden engagement party.Lucas arranged to have lunch

Chapter 294

Vivian took in every bit of Lucas’s reaction, and her heart eased slightly.It looked like there was more to this engagement than met the eye.Maybe Lucas had his reasons for agreeing to it.“I’m busy tomorrow, so I won’t be able to attend the engagement party. I came today because I wanted to congratulate you in person.”Vivian knew she wasn’t generous enough to watch the man she loved get engaged to another woman.She looked at Lucas with clear eyes, holding back the affection she couldn’t say out loud.“Lucas, take care of yourself. No matter what happens, as long as you ask, I’ll help you.”That was basically a quiet confession.Lucas had loved someone before, so of course he understood what Vivian meant.But he had always been clear about Vivian. To him, she was kind and respectable, but nothing more.He thanked her sincerely.“Thank you, Vivian. I hope everything goes well for you too.”Vivian gave him her usual bright smile, but this time, there was a trace of bitter

Lucas looked sheepish.Kenneth was right. Lucas hadn’t been much of a friend about this.But his marriage with Ivy involved too many complications, so he couldn’t tell people casually.He had planned to tell Kenneth today anyway.Kenneth was his best friend. Lucas didn’t want to hide this from him.“Kenneth, this one is on me,” Lucas said. “I asked you to meet today because I wanted to tell you about Ivy and me.”Lucas told Kenneth about the agreement between him and Ivy.The more Kenneth listened, the wider his eyes grew.By the end, his eyes were practically bulging.This whole thing was unbelievable.“So you just said yes?” Kenneth asked. “Aren’t you worried Ivy only came after you because she’s desperate to get married and decided to tie you down?”Kenneth looked at Lucas and shook his head with a heavy sigh.Lucas was way too trusting.How could he not think twice about something like this?Everyone in Jasper City’s elite circles knew Ivy had gone on eighty-eight fai

Chapter 296

Vivian found Fiona’s angry expression a little baffling.Had Fiona not received an invitation?That should have been impossible.The Shaw family held such a high position in Jasper City that there was no way the Quinn family would leave them out.But judging from Fiona’s reaction, it seemed like she really didn’t know Lucas was getting engaged.Did Ivy care that much about Lucas and Fiona’s past?Had she deliberately left Fiona out of the engagement party?When Vivian stayed silent for too long, Fiona lost her patience.Her voice turned cold. “Vivian, I asked you a question. What exactly did you mean by Lucas’s engagement party invitation?”Vivian hated Fiona’s condescending attitude.It wasn’t as if she owed Fiona anything. What gave Fiona the right to order her around?But when Vivian thought about how Lucas hadn’t invited Fiona to his engagement party, an indescribable satisfaction rose in her heart.At least for now, she was closer to Lucas than Fiona was.And for some

Chapter 297

It was as if the woman who had lost control just now had only been Mandy’s imagination.For some reason, seeing Fiona like this made fear rise in Mandy’s heart.Normally, Fiona was cold and distant, but she still felt alive. Every slight smile or frown carried emotion.But now, Fiona’s eyes were as calm as still water.It was as if nothing, no matter how shocking, could make her react.She looked cold enough to seem almost inhuman.Mandy spoke cautiously. “Ms. Shaw, are you all right?”“Mandy, have someone look into Vivian right now,” Fiona ordered. “Find out whether she met anyone in this restaurant and what she said to them. I want the answer in ten minutes.”Fiona’s voice was crisp, decisive, and completely emotionless.Mandy shuddered.She didn’t dare think too much. She lowered her head and answered, “Yes. I’ll have someone look into it right away.”Ten minutes later, Mandy hurried back with the results.“Ms. Shaw, we found out what happened. Vivian came here with Kenn

Chapter 298

Lucas and Kenneth stayed at the restaurant until two in the afternoon.Kenneth had been determined to make Lucas spend a fortune, so he ordered several expensive bottles of wine and drank every last drop.By then, he was completely wasted.Because of the engagement party the next day, Lucas hadn’t touched any alcohol.Kenneth had driven there, so Lucas helped him down to the underground parking garage, planning to drive him home.Kenneth was so drunk he could barely stand. Most of his weight was hanging off Lucas.Lucas supported him into the parking garage, only to find that the lights were out. The place was almost completely dark.Holding Kenneth up with one arm, Lucas took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and started looking for Kenneth’s flashy red sports car.He had only taken a few steps when his eyes turned cold.Without giving anything away, he quietly slowed down.A figure suddenly rushed out from behind one of the parked cars and went straight for the back

Chapter 299

Several bodyguards rushed up from behind and pinned Lucas down.Lucas stared at them coldly.“Who sent you?”These people wanted to capture him, but they were not trying to kill him.Aside from Miles, had he offended anyone else?The bodyguard remembered Fiona’s instructions and didn’t dare say too much.He gave the others a look.One of the men holding Lucas raised his hand and struck him hard on the side of the neck.A sharp pain shot through Lucas.His body went limp, and he passed out.A car door opened nearby.Fiona stepped out of the sedan, her expression cold.“Put Lucas in my car. Be gentle with him.”After saying that, her sharp gaze swept over the bodyguard who had knocked Lucas out.A chill ran down the man’s back. He immediately softened his movements and helped the others carry Lucas into the car.The leader of the bodyguards asked Fiona, “Ms. Shaw, what should we do with him?”Fiona glanced casually at Kenneth and waved a hand.“Bandage his injuries and s

Chapter 300

Fiona showed almost no reaction after Lucas refused her.She raised her hand, her pale fingers gently brushing over his brows and eyes.When she spoke, her voice was soft, almost like a lover’s whisper.“Lucas, I’ll only force you this one last time. I swear, after this, I’ll never force you again.“I don’t know what kind of dirty trick Ivy Quinn used to make you agree to marry her, but I can’t just stand by and watch you marry another woman.“Marry me instead. Whatever Ivy can give you, I can give you too. You don’t have to worry about her. I’ll handle everything on that side.”Lucas stared at the woman in front of him.The obsession and madness in her dark eyes were completely undisguised. It was suffocating.When had Fiona, who used to be so cold and untouchable, become this terrifying?While Lucas was still stunned, a courthouse clerk walked over with two completed forms in her hand.Lucas glanced down and saw his name on one of them.Even the signature at the bottom loo
