Chapter 626


    Edwardughed heartily. "No, I was just startled for a moment. Oh, I remember now! You''re Hannah


    Lower, and I remember you were a crybaby who would turn on the waterworks easily when we were


    young."


    ring at him, Hannah retorted, "That''s all because you broke my heart."


    "I was ignorant back then. Don''t hold it against me," he said with a chuckle. As though he just


    remembered Lara, he spun his head around at her. "Lara,e over quickly. Can you still recognize


    our old ssmates?"


    However, she was still held back by a bodyguard and could only smile awkwardly.


    Only then did Edward snap back to the situation. As he was overjoyed to see his old ssmates, he


    had forgotten about the current situation. Why did Eugene bring all of them here? "All of you are here


    because..." he trailed off, his voice filled with bafflement.


    "Firstly, I must apologize to you," Nigel started. "I''ve been feeling bad all these years, actually, butter


    when I heard that you''re together with Lara, I thought it was a good thing and didn''t say anything. This


    time when your son found us, I learned that Ellen had already passed away in a car ident."


    A confused Edward said, "Tell me the main point. What do you mean?"

    "Do you remember our first gathering after graduation?" Nigel asked. "It was in a restaurant that caught


    fire after that."


    Nodding his head nkly, Edward answered, "I remember, and it was Lara who saved me."


    Nigel helplessly shook his head. "It wasn''t like that—"


    Before he could finish, Lara''s panicked voice echoed loudly. "Nigel Lowe!"


    When all eyes darted toward her, she forced herself to beposed and tried to turn the situation


    around. "I recognize you now. Oh my, it''s been years since west met. You still remember me, right?"


    A frosty smile appeared on Nigel''s face. "For sure I do. You''re my first love." After Hannah cast an


    indifferent stare at him, he immediately exined with a grin, "I''m only saying that to start the story of


    what happened back then. Of course, my favorite person is you, my wife!"


    It was only then did Hannah turn away.


    Edward blurted in surprise, "Both of you are married?"


    "Yeah. Fortunately, she''s the one I married," Nigel answered.


    "I''m also d that you''re the one I married!" she said as well.


    Everyone burst out intoughter hearing that; for those who didn''t know, they just listened to it as a


    joke, but Edward knew that Lara was the one whom Nigel liked at first and Hannah had a crush on


    himself.


    Now, both of them were married to each other and what was more frustrating was that they sounded so


    d.


    Inexplicably, he had a feeling that those statements were like two ps across his and Lara''s faces.


    Why are they d? Was it because Lara and I are not good? Or, are they purposely respecting each


    other in front of a crowd?


    In spite of that, he still didn''t know what Nigel wanted to say. "So, tell me. What happened?" he asked.


    "The fire back then was deliberately set by someone and it wasn''t an ident at all," Nigel confessed.


    An astonished Edward asked, "Who did it?"


    Pointing a finger at Lara''s direction, Nigel answered, "It''s her!"


    Following Nigel''s gaze, Edward gazed at Lara with a livid face in the end and he was shocked. "That''s


    impossible! Why would shemit arson?"


    Nigel snorted and turned to look at Lara. "Do you want me to say it for you or you want to say it


    yourself?"


    Gritting her teeth with hatred, she wondered just how capable and influential Eugene was. Not only was


    he able to find them, he was even able to convince them to testify for him. It seemed like he had been


    hiding his true powers in their previous exchanges!
