Chapter 40 The Breaking Point #Finished If Mr.
Lucas is not here to send me back to prison , then you can leave .
If you want to sue me , Im ready to face you anytime .
Lucass heart ached .
Laurie , I just came to check on you .
Lauren remained icy .
I dont need it .
Her repeated refusals pushed Lucas to the edge of his patience .
He took a step forward , his eyes filled with desperation and pain .
Laurie , what do I have to do to make things right between us? Cant you see how much I care for you ? Ever since you got out of prison , Ive made time to visit you whenever I could .
But you keep pushing me away .
What do you want from me ? Just tell me ! Lauren finally looked at him directly , her gaze like two icy blades .
I spent five years in prison for a crime I didnt commit .
and yet you , the lawyer who used fabricated evidence , are the one who feels wronged ? Mr.
Lucas , you studied law .
Dont you know how important innocence is to a person ? Lucass face turned pale , his heart bitter .
I didnt want it to be like this , but I had no choice .
Willow had helped him .
If it wasnt for her financial support during college , he wouldnt have graduated .
This alone showed that despite being a wealthy heiress , Willow was still kind hearted and down to earth .
I couldnt believe that Willow would push Elaine down the stairs .
But since both Mr.
David and Madam Alice pointed the finger at Lauren , even if I didnt believe it , Lauren was the only possible suspect .
He looked at Lauren with sorrow , hoping that she would understand his dilemma .
His eyes were filled with helplessness and conflict .
Laurie , no matter what happened in the past , we have to move forward .
Why are you holding on to the past ? Lauren felt like she was hearing the biggest joke of her life .
Those who havent been hurt will never understand the pain Only now did I see Lucas for what he really was , which is a fool who would deceive me without a second thought .
I had been wrong , and yet I couldnt care .
If I did , I was the one who was petty and clung to the past .
I hated that ! I hated that it had taken me so long to see his true colors .
If I had known he was like this , why had I worked so hard , taking multiple jobs and entering countless competitions just to earn enough money so he could focus on his studier ? I had been afraid he would worry , so I had never given him the money directly , instead anonymously funding his education .
Never in my widest dreams had I imagined that the law student I had supported would use his knowledge to send me to prison once he graduated .
And now he had the audacity to tell me to move on .
Lauren found Lucas utterly ridiculous , and she couldnt help but burst out laughing .
He claimed to care about me , but his real purpose was to accuse me of pushing Willow down the stairs .
When he asked that question , he wasnt looking for my explanation .
He had already made up his mind .
He told me not to dwell on the past , to look forward , but I had done nothing wrong .
All the accusations had been made up by him .
He was the one who had made the mistake , but he refused to admit it and instead demanded that I be the bigger person .
12.25 PM Chapter 40 The Breaking Point Finished Who did he think he was ? What gave him the right ? As Laurens mocking laughter filled the room , Lucass expression grew darker .
Her laughter rang in his ears , piercing and unbearable .
Stop laughing .
Lucas growled , his voice deep and filled with suppressed anger .
But Lauren continued to laugh , her eyes reddening , the hatred in her gaze sharp enough to tear through Lucass facade .
I said stop laughing ! Lucas snapped , his voice rising .
He reached out and clamped his hand over Laurens mouth , pinning her to the bed .
His eyes were bloodshot .
Why have you become like this ? Why cant you just listen ? Lauren struggled , but the difference in strength between them made it impossible to break free .
Lucass hand covered not only her mouth but also her nose .
Lauren couldnt breathe , and her face quickly turned red .
Whether Lucas didnt notice her distress or simply didnt care , he held her down as if he wanted to punish her .
As suffocation set in , Laurens vision began to blur .
Just as she was about to pass out , Marilyns voice suddenly rang out .
Stop ! Without hesitation , Marilyn swung a thermos flask at Lucass head , Stunned , Lucas let go .
But the next moment , he kicked Marilyn , sending her flying .
Laurens heart clenched when she saw Marilyn fall .
Marilyn ! she screamed , her voice filled with fear and anger .
