Chapter 198 A Devastating Truth 63 % Finished Lucass gaze locked onto the ring on Laurens left hand , his suppressed emotions finally snapping .
Whats with that ring ? Are you engaged ? Who gave you permission to marry another man ? You belong to me .
Only I can make you happy , yet while Im at my lowest , youve climbed into another mans arms .
Lauren , youre disgusting ! Have you already slept with him ? How desperate are you ? Youre covered in scars , missing a kidney , and yet you cant live without a man ? First Kenneth , now this random guy just how many men have you been with ? Tell me , damn it ! He ranted like a madman , spewing filth as if Lauren were his possession , something no one else was allowed to touch .
Lauren glanced at the ring on her middle finger .
It was Felixs signet ring , and it fit perfectly on her hand .
In the past , she might have been infuriated by such a way .
But this time , instead of anger , she smiled and wrapped her arm around Gaels .
Thats right .
Were together now .
As she spoke , she gently placed a hand on her stomach .
And theres another piece of good news I want to share with you .
Im pregnant .
Were at the hospital today for a checkup .
The word pregnant struck like a thunderbolt , leaving him stunned , while Lucas felt a deep anguish wash over him .
Gael froze , stunned beyond words Ms.
Bennett you cant just throw me under the bus like this .
I havent even had a girlfriend before , dont ruin my innocence .
Lucas , on the other hand , looked as if he had been plunged into a frozen abyss .
His body went rigid , an unbearable chill spreading from his heart to his entire body , He trembled slightly , but no sound came out .
His bloodshot eyes , filled with a wild intensity , stayed locked onto Lauren , as though he could set her on fire with his stare alone .
You … you … His voice cracked , struggling to squeeze out words through clenched teeth , laced with endless resentment and defiance .
Youre shameless ! Then , he completely lost it and his anger spiraled out of control .
Do you even understand what it means for a woman , the best dowry is her reputation ? Youre not even married , yet youre carrying another mans child ! Arent you afraid his family will use that child to control you ? To make sure you never know peace for the rest of your life ? Lauren , you disgust me ! Even if you get rid of the child , I will never want you .
Your womb once carried another mans blood youre filthy , unworthy of being my wife , unworthy of being the mother of my future children ! You make me sick ! He spat the words , his face contorted with repulsion .
Lauren stared at him , utterly unmoved .

If I had known you were this ignorant , couldnt even tell right from wrong , I never would have funded your tuition by anonymous support .
Its a shame I wasted my hard earned money on an ungrateful leech .
Lucass entire body stiffened .
His breath hitched , his eyes widening in shock .
What are you saying ? What do you mean you funded me ? His voice rose , laced with panic .
He was trying to mask the inner turmoil and fear with an angry sound , but the slight tremor in his words betrayed his fear .
Laurens expression remained icy , her gaze sharp and unwavering she locked eyes with Lucas .
She spoke slowly and deliberately : I paid for your university tuition .
I was the person who funded it anonymously .
The words were simple and straightforward , yet they crashed down on him like a landslide , stirring a storm of emotions .
His mind reeled .
N … No … , thats impossible ! He blurted the denial immediately , shaking his head furiously .
He refused to believe it .
Everything he had ever prided himself on , the self made image he had built it couldnt have been propped up by Lauren .
Why is it impossible ? Lauren took a step forward .
Every expensive piece of clothing , every luxury item you owned during university where do you think that money came from ? I worked my fingers to the bone , won scholarship after scholarship , just so you wouldnt have to struggle financially .
And what did you do ? You used my money to craft the illusion of being a rich kid , deceiving everyone including me .
Lucas collapsed back into his wheelchair .
Memories flashed through his mind days spent basking in admiration , draped in designer brands , enjoying the envious stares of his peers .
He had believed it was all his own doing .
But now , those memories felt like vicious slaps , each one landing harder than the last .
