Iris cried in Elena's arms, "Mom, what should I do? Lucas refused to go to the marriage registry. Is he going to break up with me?"
"There, there, my baby, don't think like that." Elena hugged Iris and kept comforting her.
Iris was still crying, "But we only had a wedding, and we didn't get our marriage certificate. If he wants to divorce me, he doesn't have to inform me. He can just declare it in the newspaper. He's becoming indifferent to me now. I'm terrified he'll abandon me."
Elena said bitterly, "We should have done marriage registration before the wedding. If you get divorced now, we even won't get a penny."
"Mom, that's not important. The point is that I cannot let him Lucas divorce me," said Iris anxiously.
Elena said angrily, "I also talked to Lucas's mother about this, but that old woman disagreed and wouldn't let you move in to live with them. Clearly, she doesn't accept you yet. But why? What's wrong with these people? They all said yes when we discussed the wedding. But when the wedding was over, their attitude changed completely."
"Mom, maybe because Lucas is still in love with that bitch," Iris raised her head. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
Elena snorted coldly, "Don't worry. The Wrights is a distinguished one. How can they accept a girl with a bad reputation? Even if Lucas can't forget her, The Wrights won't accept her."
"But..."
"Your father has already called her to come back tonight. You should call Lucas as soon as possible." Elena's eyes gleamed with malice.
Emily raised her hand and knocked on the door. It's been days since she left this disgusting place.
Iris opened the door and greeted her with joy, "Sis, you're back. I miss you so much."
Emily avoided her hug in disgust, "You don't have to be so hypocritical. No need to do this only because Lucas is here? Don't you feel tired of wearing masks all day long?"
"Sis, what are you talking about? We are sisters. Whether Lucas is here or not, I treat you the same way." Iris was so shameless that she did not flinch at her sarcasm.
Emily looked down on her. In the past, all she knew was that Elena was shameless. Never did she know Iris was more than that. As expected, like mother, like daughter.
"You're here. Lucas will be here soon. Don't forget what you've promised," Anthony said.
"Where's the necklace?" Emily asked.
"I'll give it to you when everything is settled." Anthony wasn't stupid either.
When they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Lucas arrived.
When Emily and Lucas met again, they no longer had bad feelings for each other.
Oddly, Emily used to love him so much that she thought she would never forget him for the rest of her life, but now, he could hardly raise any ripple in her heart.
"Emily, why are you here?" Lucas asked in a husky voice.
Iris looked at Lucas from the side and couldn't help but be jealous. She wanted to rush up to scratch Emily's face.
However, her mother had warned her not to be impulsive. Otherwise, she would pay a big price for mere trifles.
"Emily came back to pick up something."
"It's done. I'll leave now." Emily said.
Needless to say, Iris would have asked Lucas to drive her home.
Sure enough, Iris immediately said, "Lucas, it's so late. Why don't you drive Emily home?"
Lucas was surprised and looked at her in disbelief.
Iris immediately pulled him around with a smile and said, "Oh, just promise me."
"Okay, I'll do that." Lucas peeked at Emily. She didn't refuse, so he said yes in a low voice. In heart, he's more than happier to do that.
"Drive carefully." Iris walked them out with a smile on her face, but the smile gradually faded when the car drove away.
