Hera knew that she had truly angered the one man she couldn't afford to mess with.
Before the crowd could even recover from their state of shock, Lucas stepped forward and grabbed her by the neck as he continued, “You and Ashlyn are worlds apart, you hear me? You have no right to compare yourself to her, let alone dream of taking her place!”
He moved so fast that Hera couldn't even dodge it, and she could feel the oxygen level in her lungs depleting as he continued to squeeze her throat.
Her eyes went wide in disbelief as she stared at the raging man before her.
“No... Let go of me! Let go!”
She mustered every ounce of energy she had to try and claw Lucas' hand off, but it was to no avail.
Fear filled her eyes, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Everyone in the audience was utterly shocked by the sight before them.
What the... Lucas is strangling her in public! Has he really lost his mind? This is so scary!
Hera's face went red from the lack of oxygen, and she was about to die from suffocation when a slender figure came running toward them.
Hera saw a hand with fair skin reach out to grab Lucas', and the familiar voice of a woman could be heard shouting coldly, “Stop it, Lucas! Let go of her, or she'll die! Do you want to go to prison for murder? Are you listening, Lucas? Lucas!”
I can't believe Lucas actually went berserk on stage in front of everyone! To make matters worse, he did it solely to clear my name and to expose Hera's lies! One can only imagine the crazy stories those journalists are going to come up with after this! Everything that's happening right now is only going to hurt Lucas again! I won't let anyone judge him with their malicious thoughts!
Ashlyn thought to herself as she tugged at Lucas' arm with all of her might.
“Ashlyn...” Lucas muttered in a deep and sinister voice.
He then let go of Hera all of a sudden, causing her to fall to the floor like a sack of bricks. Hera was so traumatized that she curled up into a ball and trembled uncontrollably as she stared at them.
Lucas had an ominous look in his eyes and a devilish smile on his lips as he eyed Ashlyn from head to toe.
The spotlight shining on him only added to his menacing aura, and it felt like he had become a completely different person.
