Lucasâ icy-cold gaze fell upon Hera as he stood in front of her. Due to his tall figure, he was able to see her facial expressions clearly by lowering his eyes.
Lucas, are you and Ashlyn seriously going toâ¦
Fae instinctively clenched her fists at the thought of that.
She had nearly fainted from anger when she found out that Ashlyn was Lucasâ secret wife. It felt like her precious little baby had been ravaged by a monster, and the fact that they had been married for a few years without her knowing only angered her even more.
She couldnât believe that Ashlyn had kept such a huge secret from her, especially since Lucas had tons of scandals going on all the time.
Is Lucas finally going to end his relationship with Ashlyn?
Even Joseph was feeling a little speechless after seeing that. Tinsor and Winsor, too, couldnât believe their ears.
Neither of the two brothers had any knowledge of art whatsoever. The only reason they were able to watch the piano competition was that one of the Jaquin familyâs business partners loved music and invited them.
Little did they know, they were in store for a much more shocking âperformanceâ instead.
Winsor secretly made up his mind that he would propose to Ashlyn if Lucas dared divorce her.
I canât believe my idol turned out to be Lucasâ wife! This is some bullsh*t!
Tinsor was the most devastated of the two.
No wonder Blair kept addressing Ashlyn so casually! He mustâve known about their relationship all along! I treated Blair like my best friend, and he ends up playing me like a fool⦠Not only did Blairâs martial arts skills improve tremendously, but he was also blessed with such an amazing sister-in-law! I may never be able to have a sister-in-law even half as amazing as Ashlyn! I used to think that Winsor would someday be able to compete with Lucas over a woman they love, but there was no competition at all! However, things may change now that Lucas has screwed himself over with Hera! Oh, how I wish I could just run up to Lucas and tell him, âTake your d*mned childhood friend and get the heck out of here!â
Right as everyone was focused on Lucas, the man himself said, âYou are unworthy of being with me!â
The look on Heraâs face was frozen in shock when she heard that.
âH-How could you say that, Lucas? When we were littleââ
Lucas cut her off coldly before she could finish, âStop bringing up our childhood! Like I said, you are unworthy of being with me!â
Whatever feelings of joy Hera had in her vanished without a trace when she had that statement hurled at her a second time.
Forcefully suppressing the bitterness, pain, and embarrassment, she asked with tears flowing down her cheeks, âW-Whatâs gotten into you, Lucas? D-Did I do something wrong? Has Ashlyn been badmouthing me again? She really likes to slander me in front of you, doesnât she?â
âAshlyn has never mentioned a single thing about you. You give yourself too much credit if you think youâre worthy of her badmouthing you,â Lucas replied coldly with an expressionless face.
Hera was as pale as a sheet at that point.
I saved his life, confessed to him in public, and accused Ashlyn of such horrible things! Why would he still defend her? He promised me heâd agree to anything I asked for!
Heraâs tears continued to fall as she stared at him with sorrowful eyes.
She looked so pitiful that most of the people in the audience couldnât help but sympathize with her.
âB-But⦠Why, Lucas? Why? Iâve loved you for so longâ¦â
