Chapter 11 Til Death Do Us Part
Explain? Isn’t this scene enough to explain everything?
Because of Zack’s irresponsibility, Quentin’s already gloomy face was further laced with a hint of hostility.
The movement of his hand was the first to convey the violent storm brewing in his eyes. Almost as soon
as Zack finished speaking, Quentin swung a decisive fist at his son.
Though she knew that it was all Zack’s fault, Yvonne still felt sorry for her son for having to face her
husband’s unrelenting wrath and rushed over to stop him. “Yes, Zack made a mistake. Will beating him
to death solve the problem?”
At that moment, Quentin was so angry that his wife’s pleas fell on deaf ears. Just as he was about to
push her aside, Lucille threw herself onto Zack. “Mr. Xander, please don’t hit Zack! Hit me instead. It was
all my fault. I came on to him.”

The crowd had not noticed it before as Lucille kept her head lowered, but her act of diving before Zack
showed traces of lipstick and teeth marks on their faces and necks quite clearly to those present.
Lucille’s clothes were torn so badly that they revealed large areas of her skin. Even Zack’s pants were
put on backward while his face was full of bruises and scars, which Walter had accidentally caused.
The crowd grimaced at having caught the couple in such an indecent situation. Even Michaela was
dumbfounded.
Though Zack and I are about as platonic as siblings, Lucille and I grew up together! I never believed the
gossip surrounding them this entire time.
However, the scene before Michaela’s eyes was irrefutable proof that her sister had betrayed her.
With a sudden tightening of her shoulders, Michaela regained her composure and found her mother
holding her hand tightly with a worried look, though she did not remember when her mother appeared
beside her.
I can’t believe her fiancé cheated on her with Lucille!
Hannah was worried that her daughter would not be able to deal with such a scandal right before her
wedding.
The two women exchanged a silent glance before noticing a figure passing by their peripheral vision.
Before they could get a closer look, a smack followed by a clear, furious voice exploded in the living
room. “Shameless b*tch!”
“Dad!”
Lucille’s eyes were as red as the unmistakable handprint on her cheek, stained with tears. Overwhelmed
with shock, she was about to tug on Jacob’s collar but was cast aside in disgust by the latter. “You are no
daughter of mine!”
The truth, so clearly laid out before them without a shadow of a doubt, had thoroughly unhinged Jacob.
If members of the Xander family were not present, Jacob would have beaten Lucille to death.
Jacob’s shove caused Lucille to fall headfirst onto the coffee table, and its sharp corner created a gash

than she already was.
Despite that, Lucille still refused to give up. Sprawling on the ground, she grabbed Jacob’s trouser leg
with both hands. “It was all my fault, Dad,” she wept hoarsely. “I have disgraced the Lingard family and
sinned against my sister. I was the one who initiated it, and it had nothing to do with Zack!”
“Shut your mouth!” Jacob was so angry that his accusatory finger pointed at his cowering daughter
trembled slightly. “You have lost all privileges! Go home. I will deal with you tonight.”
“Lucille!”
Zack stood up with concern at the sight of Lucille struggling to her feet and stumbling out of the villa.
What heartfelt drama!
