Chapter 78
LURE Club was very exquisitely-decorated. Hari could no longer hear the loud music when he walked to the second flower
As a frequent visitor of LURE, Hari was familiar with all the private rooms. He soon went to T1 and knocked on the door. “I’m coming in.”
Then he pushed the door open and entered.
Hari was amused when he saw the wine on the table. “That’s new to me. I never knew you would drink to forget!”
Lucas was cold and indifferent. Few could influence him. Hari had known him for so many years, but he had never seen him drown his sorrows in alcohol.
There were two bottles of red wine on the table, and Lucas was holding a glass in his hand. Hari knew that something had happened to Lucas.
Hari was amused by him.
But he tried his best to keep his smile back. He sat down beside Lucas. “Tell me, which lady did this to you?”
Lucas looked at him coldly. After a while, he said, “Am I a jerk to Jessica?”
Hearing his words, Hari froze for a while.
Hari stretched out his hand and wanted to feel Lucas’ forehead. But Lucas dodged.
Hari said, “Don’t dodge me! Are you having a fever? Why did you take so long to realize you’re a real jerk?”
“Get out!”
Lucas was in no mood for jokes. Hari had to get serious. “Okay. Do you want to hear the truth?”
Lucas did not speak, but looked at him, waiting for him.
Hari continued, “To be honest, Jessica made the right choice to divorce you. Do you get what I’m saying?”
It couldn’t be more obvious. It was the right thing for Jessica to divorce him.
Even Hari felt that Jessica should not marry him.
Lucas froze for a moment, but he did not say anything. He shook the wine glass slightly, and then he drank it up.
Seeing that Lucas did not speak, Hari sighed, “You marry Jessica only because old Mr. Thomas pushed you too hard? We thought that Jessica was an actress you hired.”
Lucas wanted a fake marriage, but Jessica took it seriously.
When Lucas married Jessica, Lucas’ friends all thought it was a show to please Justin
Employment was the simplest relationship.
But obviously, the relationship between Lucas and Jessica was not that simple.
Lucas thought that Jessica married him for money, but Jessica married him for love
When Jessica and Lucas got married, everyone thought that she was doing it for money However, what was ironic was that Jessica was the daughter of the richest man in New York Money was the last thing she wanted
Lucas looked up at Hari with a dark face. I didn’t want to divorce her”
Han looked at Lucas, who he had known for more than twenty years But did you do your duty as a husband in the
three years of marriage? If I didn’t known you for so many years, I would have wanted to beat you, Lucas.”
Everyone in the upper circle of LA knew that Jessica had been bullied by Olivia and Trissy.
They were responsible for every occasion where Jessica made a fool of herself.
Everybody called her Mrs. Thomas, but no one treated her as Mrs. Thomas.
Hari used to think that Jessica was greedy for money and status. She went through all of it because she deserved
But now that he knew money and status were not what Jessica wanted. She married Lucas only because she liked him.
Hari was a friend of Lucas’. He had to be honest with Lucas. Lucas was wrong.
“When you married Jessica, did you tell her that it was just a fake marriage to please the elders? It was purely employment. That kind of thing, did you say it?”
“No.”
Hari said. “Well. You proposed to her, and she said yes because she loved you. Then you are still a playboy after marriage. You didn’t protect or even speak for her when she was being bullied. That’s not what a man should do. Do you think the marriage can work as long as you don’t cheat on her or beat her?”
Hari looked at Lucas and said slowly, “Or do you think that Jessica is beneath you from the beginning?”
