The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 101

Realizing that Lucas Lancaster wasn't actually Mika's boyfriend, and that her own actions might have completely ruined Mika's plans, a wave of sheer panic washed over Damaris.

Damaris panicked on the spot.

Even though she was furious that Mika had suddenly cut contact, the idea of that billionaire heir—who rightfully belonged to her daughter—being stolen by Seraphina was something she absolutely could not accept.

That was exactly why Damaris had fiercely defended her daughter at the gala.

After all, she might have lacked education and social grace, but she was by no means stupid.

It was obvious they had walked into a trap, so how could she not set the record straight?

As a result, Seraphina's plans blew up in her face, leaving Lucas with an even worse impression of her.

Meanwhile, Mika not only maintained her innocent persona but also triggered a deep sense of guilt in Lucas.

Just as Mika was lost in thought, a notification chimed from her phone.

She unlocked it, the blue light from the screen casting a cold glow across her cheek.

On her messaging app, an account with a solid black profile picture had sent her a friend request.

The user had only sent three words.

[This is Lucas.]

Mika locked her screen, deliberately ignoring it for the moment.

Damaris, who had been sneaking glances from beside her, finally couldn't hold back and nudged Mika with her elbow.

"That's the rich kid, right? Why aren't you adding him?"

Mika gave her a frosty look, which only made Damaris more anxious.

"Who are you pulling that face for? I only showed up because you wouldn't answer my calls! Besides, didn't I clear everything up for you in the end?"

Mika couldn't be bothered to argue.

However, she dropped her icy demeanor, fishing a diamond-encrusted smile necklace from her bag and tossing it over to Damaris.

"Between the two necklaces I've given you, you can sell them at a luxury consignment shop for around four grand. Can you stay quiet for a while now?"

This was the smile necklace Jude Jensen had previously gifted to Seraphina.
