Fated Marriage Spoiled by My Ice Billionaire novel Chapter 600

Chapter 600 Love in the Breaking

“I’m Brenda Snyder. I’m speaking up for Ruben…”

One after another, over a dozen people came forward to speak up for Ruben.

Lynn wiped away her tears and looked up to see the old woman’s gaze on her.

The old woman’s face was expressionless. She stared at Lynn for a couple of seconds before turning and walking away.

“Lynn.”

It wasn’t until Lucas drove over to pick her up that Lyn finally dried her eyes.

Seeing Lynn’s eyes red and puffy, he couldn’t help but ask, “You okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Lynn glanced at his forehead, where a faint bruise still Engered. She couldn’t resist asking, “Did you see the news?”

“I did.”

Lynn said, “Those people were willing to risk public scrutiny to speak up for my brother. How could that be a coincidence?”

“Probably because your brother’s genuinely a good person.”

“That’s nonsense. It was obviously you who went and found them,” Lynn said, feeling both angry and heartbroken.

At this critical moment, aside from Lucas, no one else would go to such lengths for her. Lucas had even been away during this period, making it hard not to suspect his involvement.

She reached out and touched Lucas‘ forehead. “Did you get hurt when you were finding them?”

“Yeah.”

Seeing he couldn’t hide it, Lucas nodded in admission

Ruben had helped Anthony Anthony had told Lucas, Ruben helped me, he must have helped others too If people were willing to speak out, maybe Rubens sentence could be reduced then Lynn might not

have to be so sad.”

So Eucas had people dig durough a lot of information before finding these dozen or so individuals.

Some were willing to speak our Others who had escaped from that place didn’t want to expose themselves publicly, to admit their past mistakes of the terrible things they had also codured there Once spoken, how would the world see them?

Lucas visited them repeatedly, hoping they could help me Ruben hat helped them ton. Maybe there

was a chance.

The repeated visits led to conflicts. Lucas didn’t fight back when he was hit, to the point where even the most difficult individuals felt a twinge of guilt and eventually stepped forward to speak for him.

“You’re such an idiot.” Lynn cried, hitting him.

Lucas stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace “I’m not.”

For you, it’s worth it.

The cold wind whistled. The winter sun couldn’t cut through the chill.

The wind swept past Lucas, who was leaning against the car, ash from the cigarette between his fingers scattering in the breeze.

Lynn, Gordon, and Betty walked out of the police station together.

Lucas flicked away his cigarette and sniffed at the scent on his clothes.

Gordon and Betty got into the back seat.

When Lynn approached, Lucas wrapped his scarf around her neck and touched her ice–cold cheek.

No one said much.

Lucas opened the passenger door, and Lynn got in.

On the way back, the car’s heater hummed softly.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Lucas saw Gordon holding Betty’s hand. The gray in his hair seemed to have multiplied.

He then looked at Lynn. She was staring out the window, but her hands were clenched tightly together.

Taking advantage of a red light, Lucas reached over and held her cold hand.

Lynn glanced sideways at him. He smiled, his thumb stroking the back of her hand.

In the back seat, Gordon and Betty watched Lucas‘ gesture, feeling somewhat relieved.

After droppang Gordon and Berty off, Lucas drove Lyng up to the overlook

Daisy said Lynn liked to go up there to look at the view whenever she was stressed or feeling down.

Last time, when Lynn asked Lucas to take her to see the sumuise she must have been under a lot of pressure too, having agonized over marrying him

Lynn sat on the same bench as before Lucas as usual placed an old newspaper on it for her.

Lucas sat beside her

She didn’t speak, and Luvas didn’t say anything either

They sat quietly like that, watching the sunset.

Night gradually fell.

Lynn moved closer to Lucas and rested her head on his shoulder.

“Lucas.”

“Yeah?”

“I missed you.

“Missing isn’t enough. Action’s required,” Lucas said, his arm slipping around her waist from behind.

Lynn chuckled softly and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Lucas looked at her. Since getting married, this was the first time she’d genuinely smiled.

Ruben, her brother, wasn’t a drug dealer. He was an undercover operative.

He’d even kept it from his family.

The reason he turned himself in was because Lucas had seen him in Fayland, Anthony had seen him. He reported it to his superiors immediately, but Trevor moved fast too.

Afraid Trevor would send people after him, escalating things, and without yet receiving instructions from above, he took it upon himself to go to the authorities first.

He never expected Lucas to care so much about Lynn’s affairs that he would directly seek people to speak out for him.

Now, well, he was forced to “serve his time” and would return to the field in three years.

But that was okay too. During this period, he could only stay in the city, giving the family more opportunities to see him.
