The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 98

Damaris grabbed Mika's hand and left the banquet without looking back.

Only Seraphina remained in the hall. Because her phone was still in Felix's hand, she couldn't leave.

Feeling the complicated and hostile glares from the crowd, her face paled. She approached Felix and spoke in a pitiful, pleading tone.

"I know none of you will believe me anymore. Since that's the case, I won't stay here and be an eyesore... Please return my phone."

Felix held her phone and looked at Lucas with an amused expression.

Lucas had sat back down in the main seat, his mind still replaying the sorrowful and disappointed look Mika gave him before she left.

Catching Felix's questioning gaze, a wave of irritation surged in his chest. No matter how beautifully Seraphina cried, he only felt immense annoyance at this moment.

He didn't understand. Mika clearly hadn't even left her name when she saved him, nor had she deliberately tried to visit him afterward as an excuse to get close.

How could he have been so foolish as to believe Seraphina's claims that Mika had ulterior motives?

Today, he had originally intended to properly thank her, get her number, and become friends, but now...

Lucas's head pounded with anger. He propped his forehead with one hand and impatiently waved at Felix with the other.

"Tell her to get the hell out."

Seraphina's body trembled. Humiliation and shame nearly made her vision go black.

Biting her lower lip, she took her phone, shoved it into her bag, and was just about to leave in absolute disgrace.

Right at that moment, a man dressed in the estate's staff uniform leaned in close to Quincy's ear and whispered something.

Quincy nodded, his gentle face devoid of emotion as he spoke. "Ms. Sutton, please wait a moment."

Seraphina halted her steps, turning back to Quincy with a look of sheer gratitude.

She had heard that in Lucas's circle of friends, Quincy was the most gentle and gentlemanly of them all.

He must have called out to her because he couldn't stand to see her humiliated and embarrassed like this, right?

After Seraphina said this, a visible flicker crossed Lucas's eyes.

He vaguely recalled that this afternoon, he truly had dodged the horse only because he heard Seraphina's shout.

He had always been someone who clearly separated gratitude and grudges. Although he was utterly speechless at Seraphina's behavior, because of this incident, he wouldn't completely destroy her.

Catching the softening coldness in Lucas's eyes, Seraphina rejoiced inwardly and quickly organized her defense in her head, waiting for Quincy to continue questioning her.

As long as she could explain once more, regardless of whether they believed her, she could use the fact that she saved Lucas to beg him not to let today's events spread. This way, she could at least minimize the damage to her reputation.

But after hearing her out, Quincy just smiled faintly and slowly unrolled the silk scarf in his palm.

"I think you misunderstand, Ms. Sutton. I'm not speaking up for you. Rather, I wanted to ask you—

Why was there a girl's earring on the rump of the crazed horse?

From what I know, you were the only girl who entered the stables today, weren't you?"
