Chapter 424\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia\u2019s heart skipped a beat, but her expression quickly shifted to one of pitiful vulnerability. She lowered her head, dabbing at the corners of her reddened eyes as tears welled up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLucius,\u201d she whimpered, her voice thick with hurt, \u201cis Honora all you care about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her tear\u2013streaked face was a picture of innocence that would have moved any other man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milton chimed in, \u201cSee, Mr. Lincoln? She\u2019s clearly just jealous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius ignored him, his piercing gaze still fixed on Livia. \u201cIt\u2019s not what you think between her and me. Stop this foolishness and hand her over. I need her to deal with Larissa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At his words, Livia bit her lip and began to sob softly. \u201cI don\u2019t know where she is. I just had my people rough her up a bit and then they left her on the side of the road.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked up, her eyes shimmering with tears, a truly heartbreaking sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius stared at her in silence, the tension in the room mounting with every passing second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, Livia broke under the pressure, her eyes growing redder as she choked out, \u201cAre you really going to be angry with me over some irrelevant woman?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius remained silent for a long moment before finally speaking, his tone laced with a distinct warning. \u201cI\u2019ll let it go this time. But don\u2019t let it happen again. From now on, you will not interfere in my affairs without my permission. Otherwise\u2026 you\u2019ll face the consequences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia flinched slightly and nodded quickly. \u201c\u2026I understand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milton, sensing the shift, quickly changed the subject. \u201cIt\u2019s eight o\u2019clock! Is it time to see that bitch Larissa\u2019s video?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Lucius\u2019s assistant nodded, Milton\u2019s excitement was palpable. \u201cAlright, boys, time for a show!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Led by Milton, the sycophants eagerly pulled out their phones and opened Twitter. Sure enough, hashtags like #Haskell Cuckolded and #Larissa Sugar Baby were trending.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But when they clicked on the video, they saw a familiar face\u2013Jagger, the one who\u2019d been arrested. The other person, however, wasn\u2019t Larissa. It was\u2026 Lucius.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milton and the others stared at their screens, their faces contorted in horror. They exchanged panicked glances, seeing the same abject shock mirrored in each other\u2019s eyes, before their heads swiveled in unison toward Lucius.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sensing the sudden, strange shift in the atmosphere, Lucius frowned. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milton\u2019s hands were trembling, his voice laced with fear. \u201c\u2026Mr. Lincoln, maybe you should\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
09:32\u00a0<\/p>\n
see for yourself\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia had already seen the video. With feigned concern, she handed her own phone to Lucius At the same time, she put on a heart\u2013wrenching performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was wrong,\u201d she said, her voice breaking. \u201cMy rival isn\u2019t Honora, it\u2019s\u2026 it\u2019s\u2026 Never mind. I don\u2019t think I can go through with this marriage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As if overcome by grief, she turned her head away, pretending to weep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sense of foreboding washed over Lucius. He took the phone, his brow furrowed, and his eyes widened in shock as he saw the face on the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The person intimately entwined with his uncle in the video was, unmistakably, himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
