Chapter 235 Chloe turned around and met Lucasâcynical smile. Her expression changed drastically, and her brain buzzed.
She racked her brains, trying to dig find an excuse to convince Lorena of her innocence.
âLorena Young â¦
Lorena Young, he â¦
I donât know himâ¦â
Chloe stumbled towards Lorena.
Her words were incoherent.
She was really panicking.
Unexpectedly, Lucas followed her.
As his long arm hooked, Chloe fell into his arms.
His thin lips deliberately stuck to Chloeâs face, and his voice indicated intimacy, âWe just did a coupleâs thing, honey.
Why did you say that you didnât know me? Baby, are you trying to ignore me after the sex?â
Lucas seemed to think that those words were enough, and his voice was very high, as if he wanted everyone to hear it.
Lorenaâs face turned pale instantly.
Facing such embarrassment, Addyson wanted to escape.
Chloe broke free from Lucasâ embrace and slapped him hard, as if she had used up all her strength.
She exhaled and saw that Lorena had already gone downstairs.
She had to chase after Lorena regardless of anything, Addyson caught her.
Chloe cried in anxiousness.
She looked at Addyson and shouted anxiously, âMom.â Addyson was so angry that her hands were trembling.
She slapped Chloe on the face and said, âYou have disgraced our family.â
Footsteps could already be heard from downstairs.
Addysonâs expression changed.
She grabbed Chloe, wanting to push her into the next room.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
A group of reporters went upstairs and aimed their cameras at Chloe.
âMs.
Gilbert, it is your engagement party today.
Mr.
Young is waiting for you downstairs.
But what are you doing upstairs?â Just as one of the reporters finished speaking, another oneâs voice rang out, âJust now, Mrs.
Young went down, and her face was so pale.
Did you rub her?â Another reporter glanced at Lucas and interrupted, âWho is this gentleman? Why is his hair wet and curly?â
The previous reporter seemed to have discovered big news.
âNo, Ms.
Gilbert, have you just finished that thing, right? Look at your red cheeks.
The most important thing is that your dress is wet.â Laughter came.
Many people were laughing.
Chloe screamed.
She held her head and widened her eyes.
Her body shook twice, and the broken light in her eyes gathered together.
She gritted her teeth and said, âYou â¦
donât talk nonsense.â Addyson wanted to take off her coat, but she only wore a dress.
She quickly walked over and took off Lucasâ coat before wrapping it around Chloeâs body with anger and anxiousness.
âFollow me.â Addyson protected her daughter, trying to push the reporters away and go downstairs.
But the gossip reporters didnât give way.
They tried to make things difficult for Addyson.
These reporters were the most difficult to deal with in Philadelphia.
They were famous for not fearing any forces, and they would not show let go of any celebrities.
Addysonâs face was livid.
Out of no choice, she turned to look at Lucas with a look of pleading.
Receiving the sign from Addyson, Lucas calmly walked over.
His tall body blocked the reportersâ line of sight, and he said with a clear and cold voice, âEveryone, you canât speak nonsense as you like.
I donât there is a law that says a man canât have sex with his wife, right?â
Addyson tightly protected the trembling Chloe.
She shouted angrily, âLucas, donât be so shameless.
Who is your wife?â Lucas turned her head and looked at Addyson.
âMother, maybe you donât know that Chloe and I have already gotten a marriage certificate.
She is my wife now.
So I donât think it is against the law for me to have sex with my wife, right?â
The reportersâ eyes curved into mocking smiles as they spoke in unison, âOf course, itâs not against the law.
But, sir, how can you prove that Ms.
Gilbert is your wife? Isnât she going to be engaged to Mr.
Young today? Snatching someoneâs wife is immoral.â The reporterâs words worked and aroused Lucasâ
anger.
He pushed Addyson away, grabbed Chloeâs hand, and pulled her downstairs.
Chloe held the rail tightly and refused to go down.
This disturbance had already alerted the people in the hall, and people began to surge upstairs.
When Brandon received the news, he squeezed through the crowd and saw Chloe, who was battered and exhausted with an ashamed and angry expression.
He glanced at Lucas, and his expression darkened.
âWhat are you doing here?â
They were relatives.
However, ever since Giselle passed away and Brandon returned to Shelton, Brandon had no contact with the Davis family.
So he didnât think that Lorena had invited such a relative.
icas looked coldly at Brandon.
âChloe and I are already married.
This is our marriage certificate.â With a sound, the bright red marriage certificate was shown in front of everyone, and everyone was dumbfounded! Chloe and Addyson were the most shocked ones.
Chloe was filled with grief and anger.
When has she married Lucas? Tracyâs heart trembled violently as she screamed in her heart.
Chloe had tricked her badly.
Addysonâs face instantly became pale.
She closed her mouth for a long time and finally squeezed out a sentence, âWhen â¦
when did you get married to him?â Chloe finally regained consciousness.
Her gaze moved around the people who were laughing at her and finally landed on Addysonâs face.
She ran over and grabbed Addysonâs hand, her tongue tied.
âI didnâtâ¦
I donât know.â
Slap.
Chloe couldnât take it anymore.
Her thin body fell to the ground, and her face burned with pain.
But the pain was far from that of her heartache.
Her eyes were filled with fire as she brushed away the hair on her face.
She got up and kicked and bit
at Lucas.
âItâs fake.
Itâs fake.
Donât believe him.
I havenât married him, and nor have Iâ¦â Lucas stood there, allowing her to attack him.
Later, seeing that she did not stop, Lucas could no longer bear it.
He held Chloeâs chin with much force, and her tender chin was almost deformed.
âYou signed the agreement yourself.
Chloe, I wonât allow you to deny it.
Just now, when you were inside â¦
you enjoyed it so much, didnât you?â Now things were very clear to the others.
The Gilbert familyâs daughter was dating two men.
After she even dreamed of marrying into the Young family What a good actress!
Jimmy came over.
When Addyson saw him, her face became even palet.
She wanted to protect her daughter, but she
couldnât.
She could only watch as Jimmyâs big palm swung towards Chloe.
Chloeâs mouth was bleeding.
Her mind was blank, and her ears were ringing.
âDadâ¦â she shouted.
âDonât call me dad.
From now on, you have nothing to do with the Gilbert family.â
Jimmy hugged Addyson and was about to leave when Chloe quickly crashed into the wall.
Bang! Blood spurted out from her forehead, looking bright red and dazzling.
