Chapter 242


    The expression on Jeremy''s face froze and the corner of his mouth twitched. He then turned away dejectedly as if his soul had been sucked out from


    his body.


    Lindsay looked at him in shock, then chased after him in a panic.


    "Jeremy, it''s not what you think! I can exin. I was angry just now. I was just talking nonsense. Please don’t take it seriously-"


    "Jeremy! Wait for me!"


    "Don''t you trust me for who I am? How could you take my words seriously when I was so mad? Jeremy-"


    Lindsay ran after him all the way until they reached his car. As she reached out to pull at his clothes, he smacked her hand away.


    "Scram! You disgust me!"


    He had trusted her so much that he had been blinded from the truth.


    Anger was building up in his chest and his expression was grim. With hatred in his eyes, a terrifying aura surrounded him.


    He never would''ve thought that under her beautiful face, a dark and sinister heart lurked!


    Lindsay staggered several steps back, feeling a striking pain in her stomach. However, she couldn''t care less about it at this instant. Her makeup was


    already ruined from her tears.


    "Jeremy, please don''t be angry with me! That was because I cared too much about you! I was too angry and that was why I said all of that to make


    her mad. It''s not the truth-"


    "Jeremy, you know how I''ve treated you in the past years! How could you not? Ask yourself!"


    "Did I ever do something to hurt you? I gave you everything I had. How can you treat me like this?”


    On top of Lindsay''s howls and wails, her obvious bump on her stomach attracted many curious and pitiful gazes from onlookers


    “Young man, don''t be so mean! It''s not goad to do this in public!"


    "Yeah! Look at her, she’s crying so hard! As a man, you should be more open-minded and treat your wife better! It''s not easy for women!" "Your wife


    is so pretty, why don''t you treat her better? Aren''t you afraid that she will leave you for another man?”


    "Go hame and settle this in private! Don''t you feel ashamed for making a scene in public?” “Jeremy, let''s go home!"


    The few strangers were very kind but Jeremy was in conflict. "Have you ever been truthful to me? Were there ever truths in your words?"


    She was so aggrieved and pitiful at this moment, which waspletely different from the harsh woman that she was just moments ago. If he hadn''t


    seen it and heard it himself, he would''ve never believed it


    "It''s such a waste that you didn''t be an actress! Stay away from me in the future!"


    With a low hiss, Jeremy opened the car door and left.


    He left Lindsay behind as she sobbed.


    Not far from the main entrance of the office, Alicia stood there for a long time as if she just had a dream. She couldn''t figure out why Nichs had to


    be responsible for Yannie''s suicide!


    She thought about it carefully and still couldn''t recall Nichs having anything to do with a girl named Yannie or had the surname Murphy!


    Could it be that Nichs had gotten drunk and raped a girl? Other than that, Alicia really couldn''t think of any other reason for a girl tomit suicide!


    She could not ept it and shook her head in defeat.


    Although Nichs had been rebellious, he was still a highly admired student in the eyes of many other students, especially amongst girls. Not only


    was he tall and handsome, but he was also more courageous than others of his age. He was never afraid of things that people the same age as he


    was would be afraid of.


    Back then, every time when Alicia had him by her side, she always felt like she was a queen.


    Alicia was so young and ignorant at


    that time and Nichs had spoilt


    her, therefore-everything her brother


    owned belonged to her. There was?


    an incident that left a deep _


    impresSion on her- that time, ov


    ichs had gotten a Barbiedoll


    that-came without packaging, To her


    Stitprise, he gave it to her girl


    instead of her! When Alicia realized


    that, she was so angry that she


    ignored him for a week. Content

    In the end, Nichs saved up some money and bought an even bigger and prettier doll for her. Only then did she make up with him.


    Alicia still remembered that she had a hairstyle with thick bangs. Nichs liked to touch her bangs and say, "I think I might be a bachelor forever


    because I have a sister that gets jealous so easily!”


    At the time, Alicia didn’t really understand what "bachelor" meant, she just felt happy ying with her doll. She requested Nichs to treat her nicely


    forever, and even said that he must remain a ‘bachelor’ forever!


    After that incident, if Nichs bought things for other girls, he made sure to get two of them. Alicia would make the pick first and the rest would be for


    the other girl


    When others came to know of it,


    many girls who were trying to


    pursue Nichs even started to buy.


    gifts for Alicia. However, she never


    epted any of it no matter how


    muetyshe liked them because


    Nichs would buy them far her if


    she asked him to. Content belongs


    to


    She received more pocket money than Nichs and she would save some of them up, giving them to Nichs.


    Alicia still remembered the girls whe chased after him. However, she had no idea who Yannie Murphy was.


    If a girl couldmit suicide for Nichs, she must''ve been close to him


    As Alicia walked on the streets, she felt suffocated by the truth. Her entire mind was clouded as she sat down to rest on a bench. She sighed heavily.


    Apparently, everything was a scheme that had been long-nned, right from the start!


    It turned out that everything had nothing to do with love and it was nothing more than a lie.


    A long and nightmarish lie.


    She couldn''t believe that everything


    between Jerémy and her, had all


    been nned by him long ago. The


    romantigencounters, those moving


    moments, and sweet experiences...


    Weretiey all illusions that he-had


    deliberately created for her?t was


    the sugar- coated poison+hat made


    her fall for him.


    If she had let down her guard and didn''t insist on persevering, would she have been ravaged and then thrown aside as Lindsay had said?


    If so, she would''ve been even more miserable than she was at present.


    How ridiculous!


    She had longed for a fairytale-like love story for half her life. She had chosen her lover carefully and loved him with all her might for three years,


    waited for him for three years. However, it was all a lie.


    It was all fake!


    The six years that she had wasted seemed like a joke at this time.


    In an instant, mixed feelings arose in Alicia''s heart


    Was she considered as fortunate that she had managed to live until the present? Lindsay was indeed behind everything that had happened that night


    but she never would''ve expected that it turned out to be Frederick!


    As Alicia thought of Frederick, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Luck was finally on her side this time. She had given her virginity to such a man and she would never regret it in her life!


    This was the first time that Alicia had thought of something like this, clear and confounded. She was even filled with happiness!


    She stood up and looked at the sky, then shouted, "Time to go home and cook for my hubby!"


    Because of this unexpected incident, Alicia''s n was messed up and her mood was somehow affected as well. She gave up on the thought of


    making ravioli and bought some vegetables instead before making her way home.


    As Frederick entered the house, he caught a whiff of the aroma of pork ribs. As he listened to the sound of the knife hitting against the chopping


    board, warmth passed through his gaze and his expression softened.
