Chapter 477



This brought a smile to Darrell’s face.

He said, “Good! The evidence will ensure that the Williamson family will comply with us in the future.”

Morse nodded enthusiastically at this idea.

“We need to go to the Thomas family’s residence and apologize to Santino and the others now. I hope they will show us mercy and forgive us,” Darrell said.

“Okay,” Morse replied.

In a VIP room at the Grand Plains General Hospital, Verena’s face darkened when she learned about the incident. A feeling of unease welled up within her.

Then, there was a knock on the door, and before she could respond, the door opened. Soon, Lucas entered the room.

“You’re here, Lucas,” Verena said, quickly sitting up. She had asked him to come—she needed to get to the bottom of this matter.

Lucas walked to the chair by the bed and sat down.

“There is a rumor going around that you are punishing the Wagner family because Morse tried to drug Ms. Wright when they were having a meal together. Is this true?” Verena asked.

“Yes, it is,” Lucas answered without hesitation.

The look on Verena’s face darkened considerably at how readily Lucas admitted it. Verena, however, forced a smile and continued, “Ms. Wright is your ex-wife, so I understand why you couldn’t just stand by.”

Verena’s heart skipped a beat at this.

“What… What is it?” she stuttered.

“I owe you an apology. I have to break my promise to you now,” Lucas said, his expression calm.

Verena’s eyes narrowed sharply when she heard that. She looked at Lucas, her expression filled with sheer anxiety, her lips trembling as she asked, “Lucas, what… What do you mean by that?”

“I can’t marry you,” Lucas said plainly, without a moment’s hesitation.

Verena hadn’t expected Lucas to say that. His words hit her like a bolt of lightning, utterly devastating her. She felt as though her world had just crumbled around her. It took her some time to process what Lucas had just said.

Her face turned ghostly white, and after a long silence, Verena managed to ask, “Why? Is it… Is it because of Ms. Wright?”

Lucas nodded firmly, his gaze earnest. “Yes. I’ve made that decision because I’ve realized that I’ve fallen for Belinda,” he replied.

At these words, Verena’s face drained of color. Her pupils shook as the reality of what he said sank in. She was in utter disbelief.
