“Get some rest. Don’t run around again. I’ll keep investigating this matter. I won’t wrong either of you.”

After saying that, Lucas didn’t even look at her. He turned and walked out, the door shutting with a sharp click.

Rachel clenched her teeth, only then realizing what had just happened-Lucas had actually told her he wouldn’t marry her.

He’d never explicitly said he would marry her before.

But he’d also never said he wouldn’t.

After Katherine left, Rachel became the only woman by his side.

Everyone assumed they would end up together.

Rachel believed it too.

She’d been living in the dream that he would one day propose and bring her home as his wife, but in that moment, her dream was shattered completely.

“Lucas, don’t go…”

Rachel struggled and fell off the hospital bed. With her leg fractured, the fall left her face deathly pale.

Ursula panicked, while Rachel stared desperately at the doorway, sobs spilling uncontrollably from her mouth.

Ursula hurriedly hugged her daughter. “Rachel, he was just angry. Those were angry words. He won’t refuse to marry you. Our families are close friends, and you two grew up together. You’re the only woman by his side. Mr. Grant already discussed your marriage with your father, and Mrs. Grant has always treated you as her future daughter-in-law, How could he not marry you?”

“It’s all Katherine’s fault. It’s all her fault. If she hadn’t come back, Lucas wouldn’t treat me like this. This is all because of her.”

Rachel cried hysterically, grabbing Ursula’s hand anxiously. “Mom, Mom, did Dad find

Katherine’s phone? Did Lucas discover something? Why would he come question me like that?”

“They’re still looking. No results yet. He only suspects you. He doesn’t have proof…”

“He questioned me like this without proof. What happens if he finds evidence? No, we absolutely can’t let him find it. Tell Dad to send more people. We have to find that phone first. Katherine can’t get to it before us.”

“Okay, okay, calm down. I got it. I’ll call your father right now and have him arrange it.”

“Okay.” Rachel nodded hard, tears still covering her face.

All she could hear in her mind was Lucas’s sentence, and it was driving her almost insane.

After leaving the hospital, Lucas’s expression darkened as he strode outside.

“Mr. Grant, are you going home or…”

“To Katherine’s.”

Fred glanced at the time. “It’s very late. Ms. Pearce is probably resting.”

Lucas lifted his wrist and checked his watch, only then realizing it was already past 2 a.m. In just a few hours, dawn would break.

Katherine probably hated him to death today.

He didn’t deny that he’d acted impulsively earlier.

But Katherine had crossed the line again and again as well.

Although…

Maybe he really had wronged her tonight.

Katherine’s words echoed in his ears. “A lot of this-you could just look into it, and you’d see I’m telling the truth. Why won’t you check?

“You asked me before why I’m so desperate to divorce you. Look at me right now-that’s your answer. I’m miserable. Being with you means enduring endless hostility and humiliation. I’m hurting all the time. Do you even understand that?”

Each sentence replayed in his mind, tightening around his heart like a vice.

“You can go home.”

Chapter 108 Missing

Lucas dismissed Fred and sat alone in the car, smoking through the entire night.

Just based on Katherine’s words alone, he had to uncover the truth.

Early the next morning.

Lucas drove to the hotel where Katherine was staying, only to be told she had already checked out. He then went to Katherine’s home.

What greeted him was complete devastation.

Lucas stepped inside. Every window had been smashed, and burn marks scarred the sofa, the floor, and the furniture in the living room.

The place looked like it had survived a violent attack.

Katherine had once told him that people from the Harts were the ones who attacked her home first.

Lucas hadn’t believed her before, but seeing this scene now, he did.

The destruction spoke for itself-how dangerous it must’ve been, and how terrified Katherine must’ve felt facing it alone.

Lucas’s jaw tightened as he dialed Katherine’s number while walking outside.

Her phone was turned off.

The call couldn’t go through.

Growing anxious, Lucas went to the auction house where Katherine worked, only to be told she hadn’t shown up.
