Chapter 161
This time, however, their positions were reversed, and it was Serenity who did the slapping.
Lyra held her cheek in disbelief as she asked, “How… How dare you slap me?!”
“If you could slap me,” Serenity countered, “then why the hell can’t I slap you back?”
If she had to bear the responsibility, it stood to reason that Lyra had to bear some too
“Who do you think you are? Lyra spat, mad with anger. “You’re nothing but a third-rate minor celebrity!
How dare you slap me?!
Serenity was not at all offended being called the “minor celebrity” as Lyra put it, but still..
“Then what right did you have to slap me? You’re a minor celebrity yourself! If it hadn’t been for Lucas
Gomez, do you really think that you’d be where you are today? You’re well aware of why you came
here to throw a fit like a madwoman! It’s all because you broke up with Lucas, and you’re afraid that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou will lose everything, right? Because everything you have was all given to you by that man! And you
actually think that you’re above me?”
Serenity’s barrage of words made Lyra turn bect red, especially when she noticed all the eyes that
were staring at her. This only made Lyra feel more and more humiliated, which in turn made her hate
Serenity even more now. She raised her hand and prepared to charge at Serenity once more.
But this time, someone came up behind Lyra and held her hand before it landed on Serenity’s face.
This startled Lyra, and just moments later, she heard a voice behind her ask, “What do you think you’re
doing, Lyra?”
Her body froze in an instant, and she turned around slowly. What caught her eyes was a handsome but
nonchalant face with piercing narrow eyes that were now filled with impatience. Lyra trembled as a chill
ran down her spine. She knew, of course, that whenever there were signs of impatience in his eyes, it
meant that he was extremely displeased.
“Lucas…” said Lyra in a quivering voice. “I heard that you were here, so I… I wanted to see you…
“See me?” Lucas glanced at Serenity’s red cheek and asked her, “Did she hit you?”
He asked Serenity that question while completely ignoring the fact that Lyra’s cheek was just as red as
Serenity’s.
“I’ve already hit her back,” Serenity told him.
“Is hitting her back once enough? Lucas asked, his voice calm and breezy, almost as if he was merely
talking about something mundane.
Serenity and Lyra both froze in shock. Serenity looked a little confused, but Lyra seemed like she was
hit by a sudden realization, and her face turned pale as her whole body trembled.
“Why don’t you hit her a few more times?” Lucas suggested, though no one could guess what he was
feeling from his cold and indifferent expression. “It might help you vent your anger since she was the
one who caused you trouble. Don’t you think she should pay for what she did?”

forgive me this time!”
Lyra’s fans would never have believed that she would ever look as distraught as she did then..
At that moment, the staff in the restaurant rushed over after hearing what had happened. When they
saw

that Lucas Gomez was involved, they quickly dispersed the crowd that was surrounding them. After all,
they could not just let the public start rumors about the prince of the entertainment industry!
Because of that, shortly afterward, there was no one else around Serenity, Lyra, and Lucas.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Lyra begged Lucas, he did not even bother to look at her. It was as
if this woman was nothing to him at all now.
It was only then that Serenity finally understood how true all those rumors on the internet about Lucas
were. She finally understood how cold and unfeeling he was to the women that he had broken up with.
