Chapter 5
It wasn’t a dream; Austin Lucas had really cheated on her.
And to get revenge on him, she actually…
Lily Gray shook her head, forcing herself not to continue recalling the memories.
She didn’t know whether to laugh at her own foolishness or feel pity for herself, as she had made such a rash decision. The other half of the bed had no residual warmth, indicating that the other person had left long ago.
This was fine – it was better for them to part ways after their deed, even avoiding the awkwardness of seeing each other again.
Sighing deeply, Lily Gray crawled out of bed, forcing herself to endure the weakness and pain in her legs. She put on her clothes and quickly fled the luxurious but empty mansion.
…
She hurriedly left and took a car back to her own home, fortunately finding only the butler and the servant at the house, so she didn’t have to explain anything to anyone.
Keeping her head down and hiding in her room, Lily Gray lay in bed, past memories flashing in her mind.
Initially, it was she who had pursued Austin Lucas because her mother’s illness was worsening, and her dying wish was to see her get married. At that time, Austin Lucas had just appeared, fitting all her expectations of a future husband.
If the initial approach to Austin Lucas was to set her mother at ease, then after meeting him twice, she had to admit that she had fallen in love with the good-looking man.
However, after their marriage, her mother’s condition only worsened, and Austin Lucas disappeared under the pretext of being busy at work. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
This disappearance had lasted for half a year, and he hadn’t even returned to the country for her mother’s funeral because of work obligations.
Looking back now, perhaps he had never loved her in the first place.
Austin Lucas… this man had eventually abandoned her after all.
Her heart ached, and Lily Gray told herself that this would be the last time she would suffer because of this man.
Suddenly, a pair of deep, indifferent black eyes appeared in her mind.
The man from last night… Despite having terrible vision and crying so much, she hadn’t seen his face clearly, but her mind repeatedly conjured up a pair of inescapable black eyes.
Although she couldn’t be sure, she had a feeling that those eyes belonged to the man from last night.
She couldn’t think about him anymore; last night was just a spur-of-the-moment act of revenge. Lily Gray dragged her exhausted body and took a bath, wanting nothing more than to get a good sleep at this point.
As for the problems between her and Austin Lucas, she planned to deal with them after waking up.
Meanewhile, at another location…
“Mr. Lucas, it was my negligence. Please punish me.” The man with gold-framed glasses knelt down respectfully.
The man sitting in a high position had a playful smile at the corner of his lips.
“You even got the person wrong, and the tests you conducted in advance were like a joke.” The coldness and sharpness in the man’s eyes made it difficult for anyone to look directly at him.
“Find the woman from last night. It’s one thing to get the wrong person, but if you even manage to lose her… Samuel Mckinley, do you think I would let you off easily this time?”
The assistant called Samuel Mckinley involuntarily shuddered.
“Yes, Mr. Lucas. Please rest assured, we won’t make a mistake this time.”
Samuel Mckinley carefully and cautiously left the study room, which was on the rooftop of the New Harbor company building. Because there was a temporary problem in New Harbor that required Mr. Lucas to come and take charge, they had left in a hurry this morning.
