It was all because of this idiot Chloe, who had hand-delivered the opportunity on a silver platter.
Lucas's eyes flashed with hostility. Having lost all patience, he grabbed a handful of hair at the back of her head and yanked hard.
Chloe cried out in pain. Her neck was forced straight as he violently dragged her closer, leaving her unable to move.
"Didn't you say you liked me? What are you afraid of?"
Lucas leaned in, his voice bone-chilling.
Chloe shrank back, feeling completely terrified of the sinister aura radiating from him.
"Luke, this is all Vanessa's fault. Since she helped you before, she should have seen it through. She knew Vortex Group and Titan Holdings were bitter rivals, so she deliberately sold her shares to them just to watch you lose everything and end up on the streets."
If it weren't for Vanessa, they wouldn't be in this mess.
She wouldn't have lost her baby either.
Looking around, Lucas was still her best option.
She couldn't let go.
Lucas's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a cold scoff. "Even now, you're still trying to drive a wedge between us. Do you really think I'd be blinded by a bitch like you and hurt the woman who loved me most?"
Chloe shook her head and screamed, "She doesn't love you anymore! Face reality, Luke. In this entire world, I'm the only one who truly cares about you."
At that moment, the wail of police sirens pierced the air.
The car door was jerked open, and two officers grabbed her arms, pinning her down.
Their voices were cold and official.
"Chloe Quinn," the officer said, flashing an arrest warrant. "You are suspected of hiring three men with the intent to gang-rape Vanessa Grant, constituting attempted rape. Your previous bail was granted due to pregnancy. Since the pregnancy has been terminated, you are hereby placed under immediate arrest."
Chloe's face drained of all color. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the ground, looking up at Lucas for help.
"Luke, save me. I don't want to go to prison."
