Chapter 43


    Chloe scoffed, “Three years ago, didn’t you know what I was going through? Yet, right when I was


    at my lowest, you both betrayed me and threw me into hell. Compared to what you did, my little


    tricks are nothing.”


    Lucas’ face went rigid. “Chloe, you ended up in that mess because of your own actions. You


    betrayed me first,” he said, ring.


    “What happened during that summer after our freshman year, Chloe? Can you even tell me?”


    Chloe''s face went pale in an instant. How could Lucas possibly know?


    Seeing Chloe’s ashen face, Lucas was visibly taken aback. Even in her panic, her beauty was


    striking. “So, who did you give your virginity to?”


    Chloe stood up, her eyes turning icy. “Shut up.”


    Lucas sneered, “Angry because you’re embarrassed, Chloe? You’re just a vile, deceitful, filthy


    woman. Why did you marry me? Because you couldn’t go back to the Meadows family. Would you


    have chosen me if you were still the Meadows family''s precious daughter?”


    “Now you say you love me desperately, but it’s only because you’re afraid of losing yourst lifeline.


    You''re afraid of losing the wealth and status you cling to.


    “But why should I be the fool to take you in? You are a hypocrite and can’t evenpare to Linda.”


    Lucas was fuming.


    “Enough, Lucas.”


    Chloe’s fingers trembled. She harbored a secret. A secret no one knew. She had convinced herself


    it was just a nightmare. She thought she had sessfully erased it from her memory. She believed


    no one in the world knew.


    But Chloe hadn’t anticipated that Lucas had known all along. So, was this why Lucas’ attitude


    towards her had changed so drastically?


    She didn’t want to dwell on that incident. In fact, apart from some scars and physical injuries, her


    memory of it was nk.


    Chloe walked straight to the door and left. As she frantically opened the door, she found Linda


    standing there. Chloe gave her a long, hard look. Without saying a word, she left.


    Lucas also came out. “Lucas, what did you say to Chloe? She looked really upset,” Linda asked.


    “Nothing much. I just brought up that incident,” Lucas replied.


    Linda''s face changed. “You promised you wouldn''t mention it to Chloe.”


    “I didn’t want to, but she pushed me too far. Someone had to put her in her ce. You’re just too


    kind, Linda. You''re even concerned about her now.”

    Linda frowned, clearly uneasy. Chloe would surely suspect her.


    Chloe drove away, her car aimlessly cruising down the highway. During the summer of her


    freshman year, she had been vited. In truth, she didn''t remember what happened that day. It


    seemed she had been drugged. When she woke up, she was in a hotel bed, naked. The difort


    in her body made it clear something had happened.


    Later, she went to the hospital for an examination, and as she feared, she had lost her virginity.


    Unfortunately, because of the drugs, the events of that day had all vanished from her memory. She


    couldn''t remember what had happened before and after she was vited.
