He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 392

Not only that, but he also cried to his parents, claiming that everything he suffered upon returning home was because Lydia had lured him back using Juniper as bait. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ruined.

When this bombshell dropped, the Thorne family fell into a dead silence.

Lydia had always been the golden child of the Thornes. Now, Lucas had ripped away her perfect facade. His frantic rants in the family chats painted her as a venomous snake hiding behind a gentle, poised exterior, using his own downfall as the ultimate proof.

Ever since Juniper exposed him as a discarded pawn, Lucas had harbored a deep grudge against Lydia. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be a broken man fleeing the country. Both of his humiliating escapes were the direct result of boarding Lydia's sinking ship.

Screenshots of Lucas's unhinged messages quickly found their way to Nelson.

Nelson had already been suspicious of Lydia, and reading these venomous accusations brought a cold sneer to his lips.

Julian sat nearby, scrolling through the leaked chats and eating up the drama. "Who would've thought? What's the saying? Dogs biting dogs? Look at how badly you terrified Lucas last time. He just spilled everything without holding back."

Nelson's expression was somber. From the moment he saw that video, his boiling rage had been on the verge of exploding.

He truly hadn't known Lydia was orchestrating such vile things behind the scenes. If Lucas had succeeded back then...

His knuckles turned white as he gripped his phone. He glanced at Finn beside him. "Doesn't the Thorne family have a few competing projects against you? Take them all."

Finn had remained completely unfazed the entire time. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

Julian grabbed an orange from the coffee table, tossing it in his hand. "You're turning the city's entire ecosystem upside down over one video, and don't even try to say it's not for Juniper. Nelson, I've noticed this for a while—you're completely whipped."

He claimed he wanted to make Juniper suffer, but in reality, he couldn't stand seeing anyone else wrong her.

Julian found it baffling. Did love really poison a man's brain? Did it make people lose their minds?

He inevitably thought of Zara. She was so calm and capable, yet in love, she was like a moth drawn to a flame. She asked for nothing in return, willing to gamble her entire life just to stand a little closer to Sebastian.

Gradually, his grip tightened around the orange. The teasing smirk faded from his lips as he pressed them into a thin line.
