Chapter 938 The Unexpected Kiss
Of course, it was just an illusion that Tate did on purpose. It was because he wanted to ruin Luci''s
reputation by any means necessary. Now, in his mind, to protect the Cao n, she would be forced to
agree to his proposal, and atst, the two ns would be united through their marriage.
Of course, the Qi n had done this to help Geoffrey deal with the Cao n, who could cause trouble
to him if they chose to support Woods. Also, Tate had done it because this was his long-cherished wish
for many years, and that was to have Luci as his bride.
The Qi n''s n aimed to kill two birds with one stone, and they had caught the Cao n off guard,
because they never imagined that the Qi n would be willing to sacrifice their reputation just to drag
Luci down.
But for the Qi n, they viewed it as a worthy sacrifice, for they were willing to let go of their reputation
as long as their n seeded. Once the two ns were united by marriage, the Qi n would take
advantage of the situation and they would reign supreme with theirbined power. By that time, even
if the Cao n wanted to support Woods, they would be restrained and unable to do anything.
Luci was shocked when she heard Tate''s words because she never thought that he would divorce
his wife because of her. In the back of her mind, she was sure that it was just an excuse, and what he
really wanted to do was drag her through the mud. From the current situation, it was obvious that Tate
had seeded.
Lucas''s face contorted in anger and frustration. He was caught off guard by the Qi n''s cruel plot,
and he hated that he could do nothing to help Luci. The most troublesome thing about the whole
mess was that Tate had divorced his wife because of Luci. In the end, the one who would be
the target of public criticism was not Tate, but Luci.
"Chief Luci, Tate loves you so much that even I can''t stop him. However, he doesn''t have any
feelings for his wife. He still loves you so much despite all the years that have passed, so I took the
liberty toe here with him. I hope you can agree to the marriage so that the Qi n and the Cao
n can also take this opportunity to unite again and fulfill your father''s wish many years ago." Seeing
that the opportunity was mature, Alexander immediately put forward his suggestion. It was supposed to
be a scandal, but it was turned into a good thing after his few words. The old saying that "the elders
turn out to be wiser" was proven right in this instance.
What Alexander said also caused amotion among the people present because once the two ns
joined hands, no n in the Timber Deity Empire would be a match for them. Moreover, if any prince
could get the support of the two ns, he would definitely take over the throne.
Right on cue, Rocky''s figure appeared in one corner of the Magnificent Hall silently. Perhaps because
everyone''s attention was on Luci and Tate, no one noticed his appearance. Of course, Rocky had
hidden his figure on purpose.
Not long ago, he had justpleted a part of the gic modification experiments. That day, he
nned to send a gift to Luci. However, as soon as he approached the hall, he heard the disciples of
the Cao n that were tasked to guard outside the hall discussing feverishly. After inquiring them, he
finally understood what had happened. Therefore, he hid his aura and entered the hall stealthily.
When he was at the hall and saw what was happening himself, his eyes narrowed and a look of
contemtion appeared on his face.
At that moment, Luci''s body was trembling badly. She red at Tate fiercely, but thetter looked
calm and steady in the face of her anger, a sinister smile painted on his face.
"Chief Alexander and Tate, please leave our mansion now! Just forget what you said. But our Cao n
would not just sit still if you continued to say such outrageous things and act recklessly. After all, our
reputation is also at stake here!" Atst, Luci had to ask them to leave. Although she wanted to rush
forward and p Tate on the face, the most important thing right now was to remain calm and rify
the wrong conclusions that were undoubtedly in the people''s minds.
"Luci, if you don''t promise me to be engaged with me, I won''t leave today. I even divorced my wife for
you. Was that not enough to prove my feelings for you?" Tate continued to pretend to be obsessed with
her.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
"What a disgraceful woman you are! As our chief, how could you seduce a married man, and he even
made a scene in public. What a shame!" At that moment, a low voice suddenly sounded from the back
of the hall.
The people in the Magnificent Hall immediately turned their heads and saw two figures that seemed to

have just arrived. The two figures were Luci''s uncles, Tod and Freddy.
"Uncle Tod and Uncle Freddy..." Luci frowned at the sight of the two because she knew that the two
would take the opportunity to stir up trouble for her.
Sure enough, after Tod came in, he looked around the crowd and said, "I''m sorry, everyone. This
should be our family affairs, but I didn''t expect it to be like this. I''m sorry!"
"Uncle Tod, I will handle it myself. You don''t have to get involved!" Luci was worried that he would
take this opportunity to cast a shadow on her role as chief, so she stopped him at once.
"You say that you will handle it, but how will you do that? He divorced his wife for you. It is a shame that
the chief of our n is a brazen woman like you, who seduces men everywhere. And you even
seduced a man from the Qi n. How are we supposed to trust that you are working for the good of
the n? Maybe you are working in the interest of the opponents at the expense of our own!" Tod
scolded with a serious face as if he was truly worried about the n and not just his own interest.
"That''s right. No wonder our n has been trampled underfoot by the Qi n for so many years. It
turns out that someone was betraying our n..." Freddy hinted deliberately.
Their words also shocked everyone in the hall, because they didn''t expect that the Cao n would
have an internal conflict in this situation.
As expected, Alexander and Tate also had a smug smile on their faces.
Luci''s face turned livid with rage. If the two uncles continued to air their dirtyundry so publicly, she
would probably be the most talked-about woman tomorrow in the whole Timber Deity Empire. Most
importantly, she could be impeached as the chief of her n by this time tomorrow.
"Tod, Freddy, it''s just a plot of the Qi n. If you keep acting like this, you will only fall into their trap."
Lucas''s face was red and contorted in anger, as he shouted at Tod and Freddy.
"Master Lucas, you are wrong. Tate loved Chief Luci very much. Otherwise, how could he divorce his
wife? And am I the kind of person who shows off the scandal of my own family?" Alexander said
innocently.
"You don''t have to say anything more. My dear niece, if you want to prove your innocence, you have to
resign as the chief of our n today. If this matter spreads out, our Cao n will be dragged through
the mud together with you," Tod said without hesitation.
"No way!" Luci red darkly at her opportunistic scum of an uncle.
"If you insist on this, then I will have no choice but to invite some elders here," Tod added immediately.
She could only remain silent with gritted teeth because she knew that if Tod invited all the elders out,
they would probably make her resign before they rified the issue. But if that happened, Tod and
Freddy would take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, and then the Cao Can would never
have a peaceful day!
The same things were running through Lucas''s mind, but he couldn''t think of any solution for the time
being.
"Luci, if you agree to my proposal, everything will be easier for you," Tate insisted once again
because he knew that she was not willing to hand over the chief position. Therefore, if she wanted to
keep her position as the chief, she must agree to his proposal, and his ultimate goal would be
achieved.
But to everyone''s surprise, a figure suddenly jumped out of the shadows andnded by Luci''s side.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, he lifted Luci''s chin lightly with his finger, pulled her
closer, and pressed his lips against hers...
