NovelEnglishChapter 85 After the initial shock wore off, Lisa's heart brimmed with glee and a touch of schadenfreude. She didn't confront the situation right then. Instead, she whipped out her phone and quickly recorded a short video, sending it straight to Lucas.
Lucas was in the middle of handling Linda's discharge papers when he got the video from Lisa. He didn't think much of her—a woman from the slums, insecure, sensitive, always hung up on her own status. They had exchanged a few messages before but never actually talked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe video Lisa sent showed Chloe having dinner with a man, both of them laughing and chatting. Suddenly, the man leaned in and kissed her. Chloe didn't push him away. Instead, she smiled even more. Lucas felt a sharp pang in his chest, and his grip on the phone tightened. He remembered the night he had just cback to the country. Chloe had told him she had a boyfriend. He thought she was just pretending. But it was true. Chloe really had a boyfriend. A surge of anger bubbled up inside him, and he immediately dialed Chloe's number.
On the other side, Chloe and Connor had just finished their meal and were about to leave when her phone lit up on the table. Connor clearly saw the n"Lucas." His face darkened instantly. Chloe picked up the phone, glanced at Connor, and then answered it.
"What do you want?" she asked.
Lucas' voice, strained with effort, cthrough the line. "Chloe, where are you right now, and who are you with?" Chloe chuckled. "Having dinner with my boyfriend. Is there something you need?" Lucas' veins bulged on his forehead. He always thought Chloe was trying to provoke him. He didn't expect her words to be true. "Chloe, how dare you cheatt!" Chloe laughed. "Lucas, think about it. What are we to each other?" "Everyone knows we're husband and wife. Now you've got yourself another man. Have you thought about my reputation?" They were just shy of a marriage certificate. It was Lucas who had second thoughts on the day. If Linda hadn't fainted that day, he would have married Chloe. They had already had a wedding banqueline? inviting only the crde la crof Riverbrook. To the outside world, they were a legitimate couple.
Chloe chuckled softly. "Since we're 'husband and wife,' did you consider my reputation when you eloped with your mistress?" Lucas fell silent, but his heavy breathing betrayed his fury. Chloe continued, "Besides, we were never really husband and wife, Lucas. We're already separated. My affairs are none of your business.
Chloe hung up. When she looked up at Connor, his brows were no longer furrowed.

Connor raised an eyebrow. "You know, 'boyfriend" does have a nice hands e ring to it. Chloe flipped her wavy hair. "Are all men this possessive?"
Connor's brows furrowed again. "All "m" men'... you have other men?" Chloe couldn't be bothered with him. "Childish."
She wondered why Lucas had suddenly called. Was he here, too? Chloe stood up and scanned then area, spotting, a figure hurrying away.
It was Lisa. So, she was the one who sent a message to Lucas. But Chloe didn't care. She hadn't intended to hide it from Lucas before, and she certainly didn't plan to do so now. X
