Chapter 478:

After the shock ca wave of agony and betrayal that twisted her features. What had Lucas just told her? He

had fallen for Belinda? How could that have happened? How could he have developed feelings for her? Then

what about Verena? What significance did she hold for him? What position did she occupy in his heart?

“Lucas, you must be lying to me, right? You're not telling the truth!” Verena raised her voice, her face contorted

with torment.

Lucas, however, remained calm.

He looked at Verena, his voice low and firm. “I would never lie to you about something this serious.”

Last night, when he had seen Morse spike Belinda’s drink, he had been consumed with anger. Since then, the

thought of what could have happened if he hadn’t intervened had haunted him. If Belinda had actually drunk the

spiked drink...

The thought ignited a fierce fury within him. That was the moment he realized an undeniable truth — he couldn't

bear the thought of Belinda being with anyone else. It was then that he admitted to himself that he was in love

with her.

“No!” Verena shook her head vehemently, her eyes beginning to swell with tears. “This isn’t true! You're lying to

me!”

Moving closer to Lucas, Verena seized his hand, holding it firmly. “Lucas, I'm the one you've always loved! You

promised we would get married! How can you take that promise back? This isn’t happening. It simply can’t be!”

Lucas gently pulled his hand away, his face briefly shadowed by guilt. In a soft voice, he responded, “Verena, |

admit that | broke my promise to you, and for that, | am truly sorry. But | can’t marry you now. If there's anything

else you need as compensation, letknow.”

“I don’t need any compensation!” Verena exclaimed, overwhelmed with despair. Tears streamed down her

cheeks, unrestrained, like waters from a burst dam.

Watching Verena in this state, Lucas remained emotionally detached, his composure unshaken. He recognized

his guilt for breaking his promise. Yet, that was the extent of his emotion toward Verena now. The only thing left

for him to do was to find other ways to compensate her.

“How could you treatlike this? How can you simply disregard your promise?” Verena wept, her body

trembling with sorrow.

Overwhelmed by sadness, Verena felt numb. Her world seemed to fade into a dull, colorless haze.

Why had this happened? How had things gotten to this point? How could Lucas have developed feelings for

Belinda?

At that moment, Lucas stood up from his chair. “I need to take care of something, so | must go now,” he said. He

could tell that Verena needed stalone to collect herself.

Without waiting for a response, Lucas turned to leave the room.
