The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 105

[Mika: Do you really think everything in this world can be solved with money?]

[Mika: Thanks, but I don't need it.]

[Mika: If you have nothing else to say, let's just delete each other's numbers.]

Mika didn't immediately accept the transfer. Instead, she rapidly fired off those three messages.

Her words weren't merely playing hard to get; they stemmed from a profound disappointment in how this world operated.

Both in her past life and this one, she was the one who had saved Lucas's life.

She could ignore the predetermined plot of her past life, where Lucas fell in love at first sight and somehow credited Seraphina for the rescue.

But in this life, it was undeniably clear that she alone had saved him.

So why was he still so easily swayed by a few words from a disgraced Seraphina?

Why did he still follow Seraphina's logic to suspect and test her?

Just because Seraphina was prettier? Did beauty equate to justice?

Reading Mika's three messages, the frustration on Lucas's handsome face deepened into a heavy scowl.

An inexplicable surge of guilt gripped his heart like a vice, making it absolutely impossible for him to sleep until he fixed this mess.

Without skipping a beat, he typed furiously into the chat box.

[Lucas: I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.]

[Lucas: But I need to explain. The only reason I invited Seraphina today was because I saw what happened on the forums. I brought her there so she could apologize to you properly and let you vent your anger.]

[Lucas: I initially only agreed to let her apologize to you face-to-face. I had no idea she would trick your mother into coming to embarrass you. My only intention in inviting you was to thank you. I never meant to insult you.]

Mika hadn't expected Lucas—a man who, in her past life, reserved his patience exclusively for Seraphina—to fire off such a lengthy, frantic explanation to her.

Regardless of what was truly in his heart, at the very least, he currently cared about whether Mika misunderstood him.
