Chapter 291

As Emily spoke, Lucas’s face drained of color. ‘No-‘ he thought.

“You’re lying.” Lucas shouted, as if yelling could make it any less true.

“Lydia saved me. You were traveling. Lydia even hurt her hand; she’s the one who saved me,” he denied desperately, his words coming out in a frantic mess.

Even as he kept denying it out loud, he couldn’t stop recalling what Charles had once told him.

The search and rescue team had spent days looking for him without any luck, but somehow, Lydia just happened to find him right away.

A girl who looked like she couldn’t hurt a fly had managed to carry a grown man like him, and aside from a scraped hand, she didn’t have a single scratch on her. This just didn’t make any sense..

Seeing the disbelief on his face, Emily gave a half-smile. “Who told you I was traveling? Did you ever check for yourself? And Lydia saving you-did you see it with your own eyes, or did you just hear it from someone else?

“Lucas, you’ve always been impulsive. If I’m being nice, I’d call it honest, but let’s be real-you’re just dumb.”

She continued, “If you actually had a brain, you’d go find out who Lydia really is. And if you really feel guilty about what happened to me, then do me a favor. Drag Lydia into the mud for me.”

Emily knew exactly how much Lydia cared about the Bennett Family’s attention. That was why, if the knife stabbing Lydia was held by her family, it would hurt her far more than anything Emily could do herself.

After saying her piece, Emily couldn’t be bothered to waste another word on him. She slammed the door right in his face.

The rental was tucked away behind the stairs in an old neighborhood, so not even the harsh midday sun could reach inside.

As the door slammed shut, Lucas was swallowed by darkness. The panic and fear in his chest crept up on him along with the night.
