Chapter 89

Ar the hospital, Jennie had started bleeding and had

be admitted to prevent a miscarriage.

When Lucas arrived, he found two familiar faces in the mom Chad and May, Liora’s uncle and aunt

It was Chad and May who had brought Jennie back all those years ago when Liora went missing claiming she was the rules of this

and his wife.

Over the years, the couple had treated Jennie like their own daughter, raising her with immense love and care

Later, when old Mr. Hughes found Liora, this couple still adored Jennie, ignoring Liora completely.

“Luke’s here,” May said, wiping away tears. “Jennie, this girl, is really something else. She came back to the country pregnant! This is not ond bet two huge surprises, and she never told us a word! And now she’s here with you… What does that even mean? It’s all so messy. If Liora finds out

May’s voice broke as if she suddenly realized something.

“Jennie… Luke… Liora doesn’t know about this, does she?”

“Auntie, my sister does know, but…”

“Ah, I knew it! I said it had to be Liora who was behind this! That’s the only explanation for why Jennie ended up like this! I’ll go confront her-she’st

absolutely vicious!” May said, starting to storm out of the room.

Chad grabbed her arm. “Enough, May. What’s all this fuss? Luke is here. He’ll make sure Jennie and the baby don’t go through any more stress.”

The more Lucas listened, the more uneasy he became

In the way they spoke, it was as if the child in Jennie’s womb was his.

Lucas glanced at Jennie.

He still hadn’t asked her about the text she sent to Liora. What was this new mess she was about to create?

Jennie met his angry gaze, her eyes full of silent pleading.

“Luke, what exactly are your plans now?” May asked quietly. “You can’t let my Jennie…

“Auntie!” Jennie interjected, tugging on May’s sleeve.

In recent years, the Hughes Group had been struggling.

After old Mr. Hughes passed, the Hughes family was left with only a pair of incompetents, and their wealth was on the brink of collapse.

Now, there was just enough breath left in them, sustained only by the Shannon family and Lucas.

Despite this, because of the engagement, Chad, May and Lucas had barely interacted over the years.

May hadn’t shown any humility. She still carried herself with the airs of an elder, trying to dominate the situation.

“Luke is already in the process of divorcing Liora,” Jennie said softly, her voice trembling.

When the Hughes couple heard this, their smiles widened. The idea of the “imposter” stepping on their real niece to climb up in life made

almost giddy.

But why did Liora, a princess from a rich family, grew up in some rural area?” Lucas asked slowly, each word deliberate.

The smiles on Chad and May’s faces froze.

Jennie looked on in shock. Was Lucas defending Liora?

No one wanted this to happen. It’s just bad luck, Chad said in a low voice. “Luke, don’t forget-Old Mr. Shannon forced you to marry Liora to humiliate you. Now you’re here defending her and blaming us!”

“Uncle!” Jennie’s heart raced with dread.

She’d invited this couple to force a marriage.

But after all the nonsense they spewed, she was done tolerating them.

She scolded Chad, then carefully smiled at Lucas. “Luke, my uncle and aunt were just trying to stand up for you.”

Jennie could feel the tension building.

Lucas was in a foul mood tonight.

Clearly, she’d picked the worst possible time to bring this up.

“Stand up for me?” Lucas smiled. “Jennie, have you forgotten that Uncle Chad could’ve helped me back then? But instead, he played the poor victim. In the end, when old Mr. Hughes decided to leave him a bigger inheritance, he switched sides and sent you abroad.”

Lucas spoke casually, as if it meant nothing.

He didn’t expect Chad to help him back then.

What bothered him was that Chad had backstabbed him, and after all this time, now stood on the moral high ground, lecturing him about fairn

“That’s right, Luke. Your uncle did make mistakes back then. But over the years, we’ve seen how hard both you and Jennie have had it. We re it now. But it’s not too late. You’re back together, and there’s still a chance for you two to make things right,” May quickly changed her tone.

Lucas’s eyes bore into her, intense and heavy.

I’d give up everything for you!” Jennie cried, tears streaming down her face. “It’s always been so close-just a little more, and I would have had you! Don’t you remember the promise you made? That you’d take care of me for a lifetime?”

Memories of the past resurfaced.

That year, Lucas and his friends, including Jennie, had gone hiking and skiing. He had an accident.

Jennie had risked her life to save him.

During the rescue, she had gotten severely cold, her body shivering.

Afterward, she had constant stomach pains, and the doctors diagnosed her with uterine damage. Most likely, she wouldn’t ever be able to have

children.

Jennie was devastated.

Lucas had already been engaged to her, and with that deep sense of gratitude, he promised her a lifetime of care.

Not long after that, his father died in a tragic accident, and Liora returned to the Hughes family.

Everything was turned upside down.
