Chapter 113
It was a message about money transferring.
Lucian transferred money to me.
I looked at that large number with so many zeros that I couldn’t even count and furrowed my brow slightly
What did he mean?
With a mind dulled by alcohol, I didn’t react immediately.
Until Lucian’s deep voice sounded above my head, “The prize money for the first place of the design competition. I’ve doubled it for you.”
My gaze on the numbers grew noticeably colder.
For several seconds, I looked up and said with a forced smile, “Is this hush money?”
That smile did not reach the bottom of my eyes.
Lucian looked at me, his brow slightly furrowed, and did not deny.
The smile at the corner of my lips deepened, and the mockery in my eyes grew even stronger.
Lucian assumed this.
He meant exactly that.
No wonder he appeared here when he was supposed to take Ayla home.
Originally, he came to shut my mouth by giving me money.
The man who had been with me for five years, giving only a hundred thousand living expenses to me and Aurora each month, would go all out to protect Ayla, with a sum of two million dollars.
He really was… generous because of another woman.
My heart felt like it was stuffed with all kinds of complicated emotions.
I couldn’t feel more uncomfortable.
However, money was the last thing in the world that would make me uncomfortable.
It was not wise to let two million dollars go.
Since Aurora got sick, I had experienced countless times of hardship and bitterness that pushed me to a corner.
I knew very well that when a person is in need of money, their dignity is the least valuable.
Lucian saw me receive the money, his face softening. He bent down and reached out, ‘I’ll take you home.”
‘No need.’
I raised my hand to throw away his big hand.
Staggering. I got up.
I didn’t want to spend even a second more with Lucian.
But still under the influence of alcohol, my hurried steps lost their steadiness
My whole body swayed and couldn’t stand still.
‘Be careful.”
Lucian stepped forward to help me.
I didn’t want Lacian to touch me.
My hand reacted faster than my brain, vigorously swinging his hand away again.
‘I said, do not touch me.”

With a swing, my already unstable body became even more unsteady, swaying and falling backwards.
‘Thump –
I fell back into the lake behind me.
