No Escape from Love novel Chapter 109

"Do you not remember anything?" I wiped my tears and took a deep breath before looking at Lucas. After all, there were more important things to settle at that moment.

Lucas pondered for a moment. "I remember I was going to meet a shareholder of a company. The shareholder told me to meet him at a restaurant. When I stepped into the restaurant, I bumped into Henry, and he immediately ordered his bodyguards to beat me up."

Still looking at Lucas, I explained, "It was Xena who brought you here. She used you to threaten me to stay away from Alex."

Lucas frowned. "Why? Isn't Alex your brother? Has Xena lost her mind? Why would she get involved in your family?"

I knitted my brows as I answered, "It's a business marriage. You don't know? It was Mr. Schneider who arranged it for them."

Lucas scoffed, "Mr. Schneider? The Schneiders are a joke."

Frowning in confusion, I asked, "Why would you say that?"
