Chapter 679



She looked at Lucas, struggling to speak. After a while, she finally said, “Lucas, we’re friends, aren’t we? Why are you treating me like this?”

She had thought that being labeled as a “friend” might allow her to remain close to Lucas, possibly making him let his guard down. She had not expected…

Lucas met her eyes with a cold stare, his lips twisting into a mocking sneer as he responded without hesitation, “We are friends, yes. But Belinda is uncomfortable with you being too close to me, so you need to keep your distance.”

When Verena heard Lucas’ cold words, her face instantly lost all color.

A piercing ache shot through her heart.

At that moment, waves of anger and jealousy overwhelmed her.

Nevertheless, she said nothing; instead, she quietly moved to sit by Vincent.

Vincent, observing Verena’s ashen face, couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.

Since Lucas had fallen for Belinda, he had transformed drastically.

His behavior toward Verena had become markedly harsher.

Yet, perhaps this was to be expected.

Lucas’ heart could only hold one woman.

Belinda said, “She thought you wanted to run away with her? Where did she get such an idea?”

After a pause, she added, “However, you showing up today could certainly give her that impression.”

Darwin just let out a cold laugh in response.

Soon, the wedding ceremony officially started.

Moshe, the groom, was visibly overjoyed, his face alight with happiness, clearly very content with the marriage.

Indeed, for an illegitimate son to marry the eldest daughter of the high-ranking Williamson family was undoubtedly a triumph.

In stark contrast, Minna’s expression was one of stark displeasure.

She seemed to regard Moshe as her greatest enemy. Minna’s sour expression embarrassed Moshe, causing his smile to fade and his demeanor to darken.

He gripped Minna’s hand a bit too firmly as he took it.

The ceremony unfolded smoothly until everyone’s attention was drawn to the big screen. “Harder! Ah… That feels amazing!”

Erotic moans suddenly surged from the speakers, catching everyone off guard.

The room fell silent, shocked by the sudden intrusion of sound.

Then, the big screen lit up, revealing a video of a man and woman, both naked and in the midst of sex, their actions passionate and unrestrained.

“This is shocking!” someone gasped.

After ten seconds, the footage changed, maintaining its erotic nature but featuring a new man in the scene. Another ten seconds passed, and the footage changed again.
