NovelBarChapter 330 Please Forgive"Lucy, back in the day, you claimed that a guy in our class was chasing after you and driving you nuts, so you had Michael stage that act. How cafter all these years, you never explained it?" Asher didn't buy into her innocent act. He believed she did it all on purpose.
Lucy gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with a mix of grievance and sadness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's not..." Michael, who had been silent, finally said, "What about those photos of Chloe and the video of Cathy? How do you explain that?" Lucy pleaded pitifully, "The video of Cathy was indeed mine, but it was just to document life. I lost my phone in a taxi that day and later retrieved it. I don't know if someone unlocked it during that time. It was lost, but I didn't expose it! "I've been good friends with Cathy for all these years, and that video shows her face. If it got exposed, I'd be the first one getting suspected. Why would I be that foolish?" "As for what happened to Chloe... Well, I sold that video to the paparazzi." Among all the mess she had made, Lucy only confessed to this one act, the one that mattered most to Michael. The tension in the room escalated visibly as Michael's face darkened, his gaze sharpening considerably.
"Yes, I acted on impulse, but seeing Chloe hanging out with different men madefeel sorry for you. I didn't know why she degraded herself like that, so I thought exposing her would make her behave," Lucy explained, her excuse falling flat in Asher's eyes.
"Moreover, it was Chloe who askedto do it!" With that, Lucy swiftly opened her phone's message history, displaying her chat with Chloe.
One message stood out: [If you have the guts, make Michael divorce me. I won't blyou, I'll even thank you!] Michael's eyes lingered on that message for a while before shifting away slowly.
He thought, "So she has planned from the start to divorce me. Even going as far as provoking Lucy to take such actions." "Michael, Chloe doesn't love you. I just didn't want to see you get hurt!" Lucy's voice broke as tears streamed down her face.
She wiped them away, continuing, "You can hate me, holdaccountable for my actions, but I want to make it clear that I've always seen you as my best friend!" Hearing her stressing again that she only saw Michael as her friend, Asher smirked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You claim to see Michael as a friend, right? Well, Owen has liked you for years. It's clear you're not uninterested in him, otherwise, why would Michael be the first one you run to in times of trouble?" Asher's sneer made Lucy uncomfortable, leaving her unable to retort.
"I... I just wanted to focus on work for now." This was the excuse she always used to turn down Owen, a fail-safe excuse.
Looking at Michael, she caiously asked, "Michael, can you forgive me? I know I was wrong thought you didn't like Chloe, so I acted foolishly. I promise it won't happen again, okay?" Lucy rarely sought Michael's forgiveness, let alone displayed such vulnerability in front of him.
When she was abroad, when it cto something as heavy as a suitcase, she always insisted she could handle it herself.
"Michael, please, I truly know I was wrong. When my mother and Wendy were at odds back then after going e abroad, you sawall dolled up, but in truth... my mother owed a lot of money. I sold those photos to help her pay the debt!" Gifts X
