Chapter 162
She remembered reading in gossip columns about how much Lucas used to shower Lyra with love,
how she could land a leading role in any film she liked, how any director who did not get along with
Lyra would Instantly get replaced with a different one, how he would rent the entire hotel, even if it was
the most expensive and luxurious hotel in Solaria, if Lyra wanted to have a birthday party in it…
With such treatment from Lucas, it was no wonder that everyone thought Lyra would soon be marrying
into the wealthy Gomez family.
Yet, who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, things would take such a dramatic turn?!
No matter how Lyra begged for his mercy, Lucas showed absolutely no sign of sympathy for her. To be
more precise, there seemed to be no sign of emotion in his eyes at all-not for Lyra, nor for Serenity!
While it was true that right now Lucas seemed to be taking Serenity’s side, the way he looked at her
was nothing but distant and aloof. It was as if no one could truly ever get close to this man. Some might
be able to stay by his side for a while, but it seemed that no one could ever get close to his heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that she was getting nowhere by begging for his mercy, she quickly turned her attention to
Serenity and said, “What I did just now was all my fault, so I’m begging you, please be kind and just
forgive me. Please… Please help me beg for Luca s’s mercy! Please! He loves you so much right now!
I’m sure he’d do whatever you ask!”
What Lyra feared was not that Serenity might slap her to vent her anger. Instead, what she truly feared
was Luca s’s displeasure. She was anxious that after the slap, she might forever be banned in the
entertainment industry.
Serenity turned to Lyra and said, “I think you’re mistaken. I’m not his girlfriend, so don’t waste your time
begging me.”
After that, she looked up at Lucas and told him, “She slapped me once, and I’ve slapped her back, so
we’re even now. I don’t need to slap her anymore.”
“Is that so?” Lucas responded in a flat voice. No one could guess what he felt from the tone of his
voice.
“Mr. Gomez,” Serenity added, “thank you for the meal and your hospitality. I’d like to get home early
today, so please excuse me.”
After she was done speaking, she walked right past him and left.
Lucas watched quietly as Serenity walked away from him. Once she was gone, he finally turned toward
Lyra, whose face was completely drained of color.
At the moment, Lyra was misty-eyed and on the verge of tears. Her lovely face now looked pitiful due
to her panic.
Lucas gently brushed the corner of her eyes with his fingertips and asked, “Are you going to cry?”
“Lucas,” she hastily told him, “I just love you too much and I don’t want to lose you! I know I was too
impulsive today, but… but I promise it won’t happen again.”
“You love me too much?” Lucas asked in an expressionless voice.
“Yes… Yes, I love you! I love you so much! Lucas, you’re the only man that I’ll ever love for the rest of
my life. Let’s not break up, okay?”
Lyra’s words were punctuated by her sobbing. Tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls, making her
look heartrendingly woeful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNevertheless, there was no sign that Lucas was moved by it at all in his expressions. All he did was
utter in a cold voice. “But I never loved you.”
Lyra’s whole body stiffened. Amidst that, she could hear him add, “And I’ve always hated women who
like to cause a scene.”
It was such a simple sentence, yet Lyra’s body shook like a leaf upon hearing it. She knew that in the
past, Lucas had an ex-girlfriend who always caused a scene, and she had heard Lucas say those
exact words before with her own ears.
Not long after he had said that, the ex-girlfriend had then vanished from the entertainment industry. Her
management company had completely abandoned her, and all the directors in the industry refused to
work with her. Then, she had ended up with a lot of debts, so much so that she was forced to flee the
country.
Even now, Lyra had no idea what had become of her, but she doubted that there was any happy
ending for that woman.
