Selena's face was shocked. Her eyes widened looking back. Lucas was there with a face that was so frightening to Selena.
"Since when have you been listening to our conversations?" Selena asked.
"Since you first arrived in this place," Lucas said firmly. Lucas was furious with Selena. Lucas felt deceived by a sweet-faced woman like Selena.
Selena now looked silent. She looked at Sarah and also at the lilies of her two best friends who had broken her.
"I can explain this all to you Lucas," Selena said firmly and then swallowed. She was afraid of Lucas' next response.
"Yes of course you have to explain everything to me," Lucas said with an angry look.
"Hey, who are you?" asked the curly-haired girl named Lili.
"He's Lucas, he's Christian's younger brother," said Selena.
Lili looked at Lucas' appearance condescendingly.
"Oh good, if you already know the lies of Selena. After that I will expose Selena's lies to Great Master Mark. That will definitely make Great Master Mark very angry. Isn't that right Sarah?" lili glanced at Sarah while looking at her hands.
"Don't! Please don't do that," said Selena with glassy eyes.
"Selena Selena, if you don't want me and Sarah to leak your lies. Then give us both money to shut up!" snapped Lili with her eyes almost falling out.
Selena looked away. She was so sad that she didn't know what to do.
"How much money do you want?" asked Lucas, looking at Lili and Sarah.
"Oh apparently your future sister-in-law is very kind," said lili smiling.
Now the short-haired girl with the button look whispered to Lili.
"Three hundred thousand dollars," Sarah whispered.
Lili nodded quickly.
"We both want three hundred thousand dollars in shut up money. How can you afford it?" lili asked Lucas.
"No Lucas, don't give money to the two of them. They will definitely not be satisfied and will ask for more money," said Selena with a pleading face to Lucas.
But Lucas didn't care what Selena said.
"What's your number?" asked Lucas as he handed over his cell phone.
Now Lili and Sarah's excited faces were so visible. Lili immediately wrote the ATM number on Lucas's cell phone.
"Here," said Lili as she handed Lucas her cell phone.
"Alright, I'll give this money to you. After that, just pretend that you two don't know me and Selena. If you ask for more money. I will report you both to the police and you will be in jail. You two won't be able to escape from my hands if you dare to ask Selena for money," Lucas said firmly. The sweet man with black skin made Lili and Sarah silent.
"Ba-good Lucas, we both understand," said Lili.
"We both promise not to ask you and Selena for money anymore," said Sarah with a scared face.
"Let's get out of here Selena," Lucas immediately pulled Selena's arm quickly. Selena could only remain silent. She didn't know if Lucas was really nice to her or maybe it was just Lucas' game.
Now they were both in the car. Lucas looked at the crowd in front of him. He didn't know how to behave towards Selena now. This is the first time Lucas has been lied to by a beautiful woman like Selena.
"I'm sorry Lucas, maybe you're very disappointed with me. But this is the real me," Selena said softly. She felt very guilty.
"Your actions will be very risky Selena. You and Christian are crazy. I didn't expect you two to lie like that. If dad finds out he will be in shock," Lucas said with a sad face.
"Then don't let Mr. Mark know. I beg you to keep this a secret from anyone," Selena said, holding Lucas' arm.
"I don't know how long I can keep this a secret," Lucas said uncertainly.
"In no more than a year Christian and I will be divorced. So you have nothing to worry about," Selena said confidently.
"I don't know, I'm just worried about my father. What if he finds out the truth. And I'm also worried about Dad's health. What if he finds out you and Christian are getting divorced later," Christian said sadly.
"I promise not to make Great Master Mark sad. If I become Christian's wife. I promise I will make my father-in-law happy always," Selena said confidently.
"I will definitely think of the best way to divorce Christian. So that my father-in-law won't be sad," Selena said firmly.
"Alright, I'll keep your promise," Lucas said, nodding slowly.
"So you won't tell my lies to anyone?" asked the sweet girl enthusiastically.
"That's what you want, isn't it?" said Lucas briefly.
"Thanks a lot Lucas," said Selena with relief.
"I promise to pay the money you gave to Lili and Sarah," said Selena confidently. Although she didn't know how to pay it.
"You don't have to pay for it. I know it will be difficult for you. So forget it," Lucas said firmly.
"You underestimate me?" asked Selena in annoyance.
"I don't want to burden a woman like you who already has a lot of debt. Even you dare to lie just to pay debts," said Lucas in a sarcastic tone. Now Lucas began to drive his car.
"Actually, I don't have any debt to the lender," Selena said firmly.
"My ex-boyfriend borrowed the money from the lender on my behalf. So I have to pay for everything. Meanwhile, my ex-boyfriend has gone off with another woman somewhere. He used to be a very romantic and kind boyfriend. But now he's the most evil person I've ever known," Selena said with a sharp look remembering Cody who hurt her heart.
"Geez, you're really unfortunate Selena," Lucas said and continued to drive the car quietly.
"Yes, perhaps my fate is indeed unfortunate. I've been an orphan since graduating from middle school. After that I continued my life alone. Working here and there to keep myself fed. Working until late at night. Just to eat and pay the rent. I was stupid when I fell in love with Cody. We were both in a relationship. But it actually cost me a lot. I shouldn't have had a boyfriend at that time. I should have focused on saving money for my future. Yes, sometimes life is like that. There are regrets, but it's also a lesson for me to live better," Selena said, looking at the streets at night that were getting quiet.
Lucas looked at Selena's face from the side for a moment. I don't know why when telling Selena's own life. Seeing Selena's face made Lucas' heart feel a swish of wind.
Lucas immediately touched his nose for a moment and then looked at the street again.
"So you really live alone now. I mean you're fighting alone now? What about your siblings? Your uncles and aunts?" Lucas asked curiously.
"Siblings? Hahaha I don't have any siblings. I'm an only child. My uncle and aunt? I don't know where they are. They really don't care about my poor life. You know what? Poor people are bound to be pushed aside? Isn't that right?" Selena said with a bitter smile.
Lucas could only swallow. He seemed to be able to feel the sadness Selena was experiencing. But Selena still put on a good face.
After a while they both now saw a tall gate looming.
"Well, we've arrived at Christian's house. It's nice to know you. Your story is like a novel," Lucas said in a mocking tone.
"Hahaha you're really annoying," Selena tapped the car window.
"Get in already, you don't want Christian to get angry for coming home late at night, do you?" Lucas said raising one of his eyebrows.
"Yes, I know that. Bye Lucas. Thank you so much for the three hundred dollars," Selena smiled embarrassed.
"I told you. Don't think about it," Lucas said firmly.
"Bye," Selena said and now she turned around. But suddenly she heard Lucas cough. Selena turned around to see Lucas's pale face.
"Oh my God, Lucas are you okay?" asked Selena worriedly holding Lucas' shoulder who was still sitting in the car seat.
"I'm fine. Just a little tired, you just go in," said Lucas casually.
Selena immediately entered the gate and she closed the gate. But Lucas didn't know that Selena was peeking through the small hole in the gate.
It was Lucas who immediately took something from the dashboard of his car. A small bottle containing medicine. Immediately Lucas drank the medicine in just one gulp.
"Lucas took what pill?" asked Selena in her heart curiously.
This was the second time Selena had seen Lucas take medicine. Selena really didn't know what Lucas's illness was.
