All Chapters of After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Chapter 301 - Chapter 310

Of course, Lucas was lying with that last sentence.His engagement to Ivy was only to repay the debt he owed her.But in front of Fiona, this was the only thing he could say.Otherwise, Fiona would never give up.“You said… you like Ivy Quinn?”Fiona stopped crying and stared at Lucas in disbelief.She had never imagined she would hear that answer from him.And she had never imagined that Lucas could fall for any woman other than her.Lucas met Fiona’s gaze and nodded calmly.“Yes. I like her.”“Fine. Then tell me. What do you like about her?”Fiona bit down on her lip until the taste of blood filled her mouth.She stared stubbornly at Lucas, trying to see if he was lying.But Lucas looked open and calm from beginning to end. There was even a faint, unconscious smile on his face.“I like that she trusts me. At first, I was just her bodyguard, but Ivy never looked down on me. She never made me feel beneath her. She treated me like an equal.“When we disagree, she doesn’t

Kenneth cried and complained dramatically over the phone.He said he had only gone out for lunch with Lucas, so why did his whole body hurt like he had been punched hundreds of times?Kenneth seemed to have no idea what had happened that afternoon.Lucas guessed Fiona didn’t want the matter to blow up, so she must have already told the Grant family to keep quiet.He didn’t explain much either. He simply made up an excuse and brushed it off.The fewer people who knew about this, the better.He didn’t want to drag Kenneth into it too.After calming Kenneth down, Lucas called a car and went straight back to the Quinn estate.At the Quinn estate, Ivy had just finished handling the urgent work in her study.She wanted to make sure nothing work-related would interrupt the engagement party tomorrow.It was the first engagement party of her life.Even if it was only for show, it still had to be luxurious and grand.She wanted to give Lucas an unforgettable engagement party.She wo

“Tumor…”Fiona murmured the word so softly it was almost inaudible.For a moment, it was as if she no longer understood what the word meant.She had a physical every year. Aside from the occasional migraine, there had never been anything seriously wrong with her body.But now Zoe was telling her there was a tumor in her brain?Fiona’s mind went blank. She could barely think.But the throbbing pain in her skull told her this wasn’t a dream.When Zoe saw Fiona’s deathly pale face, her heart ached.She sat down beside the bed and gently held Fiona’s hand.“Fiona, don’t be scared. Judging from the scans, the tumor doesn’t look too serious. It can be removed with surgery.“There are risks, but they’re not high. Our hospital has the best neurosurgeons. I’ll arrange the surgery right away and have the tumor removed.”After Zoe finished speaking, tears still fell from her eyes before she could stop them.She had lied.The tumor in Fiona’s brain was malignant. If it wasn’t removed

On the day of the engagement party, Lucas woke up early.The day before, he had been extremely nervous. But now that the day had actually arrived, he felt surprisingly calm.After he washed up like usual, the stylist Ivy had hired was already waiting in the living room.Under the stylist’s careful work, Lucas looked like a completely different man.He wore a sharp black suit and a bold red tie. His hair was brushed neatly back, every detail carefully styled.Standing beside Ivy in her red dress, the two of them made a striking pair.The stylist looked over his work with obvious satisfaction and immediately started piling on the compliments.“You two look incredible together. Seriously, you’re going to turn every head in that room.”Ivy was clearly pleased. She gave Mr. Grant a look.Mr. Grant immediately stepped forward and handed the stylist an envelope with a generous cash tip inside.That was just how Ivy was. Whenever she was in a good mood, she liked rewarding people.T

Inside the hotel ballroom, the guests had already taken their seats.Everyone there was someone important in Jasper City’s upper circle. Most of them knew one another, and they were all chatting happily.Lucas brought Serena to the center table near the front. Kenneth was seated there too.“Serena, you can sit here.”Serena placed her purse on the chair and asked casually, “Where is your fiancée? I don’t see her.”Lucas looked around. Ivy really wasn’t there.Kenneth had skipped breakfast, so he had already started eating.When he heard them talking, he answered with his mouth half full, “Ms. Quinn went to the dressing room to touch up her makeup.”Serena smiled and picked up her purse again.“There is still time, then. I’ll go freshen up too.”Lucas asked with concern, “Serena, do you want me to take you there?”“No need. You still have guests to look after. Just have a staff member show me the way.”Hearing that, Lucas didn’t insist.He found a staff member and asked her
