It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1526

"Can you at least make her suffer less then? After all, we are still classmates. Though I know she hates me and has done something unforgivable, I really don't want to see her father's company go bankrupt. She'll lose everything and so many innocent people will suffer because of this," Michelle said. She thought about all this in just a few seconds. Michelle was aware this was not something Luke could easily decide on his own. But considering his relationship with Edward, if he was willing to talk to his brother about it, the latter would surely agree.

"Well, I can only promise to try my best. Honestly, this doesn't seem like something that you'd say to me. It's not like you at all. And it was a surprise to me that you're willing to go easy on Erin," Luke pointed out. His wife's change of heart was a definite surprise. And he wasn't sure if it was a good change or a bad one. All he knew was that he felt happy to see a more sensible side of Michelle. It felt like unearthing a hidden facet of her that no one had ever seen, so it made him feel closer to his wife. There seemed to be a lot more things he didn't know about Michelle, and Luke was looking forward to discovering them.

The next day, before Luke had a chance to speak to Edward about what Michelle said to him, they ran into Erin. She had been waiting for them outside the company building. As soon as she saw the two men walking in, she immediately ran to them, her face looking very anxious.

"Mr. Mu, please, please don't let our company go bankrupt. I beg you. Please. I know what I did was wrong, and I will never do anything like that ever again," Erin pleaded. She kneeled before Edward and Luke to block their way. Erin raised her head and looked at them with a look of pity in her eyes. It was evident she'd been crying because her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tear tracks on her face.

"Who are you? Do I know you?" a startled Edward exclaimed. He quickly schooled his expression, so his face became impassive after getting over his initial shock. Edward had no idea who this woman kneeling before him was because he'd never met her in person. The unfamiliarity with Erin was what confused him.

"She's Michelle's classmate, the daughter of Tosca Corporation's CEO," Luke said by way of introduction. His tone was icy, intended to keep Erin quiet. He stared at the crying woman in front of them. Luke remembered all Michelle told him last night and suddenly wanted to give her a second chance. He didn't want to put his wife in a dilemma, after all.
