Chapter 578
The damages she stood to pay were no small amount.
“I really love you, Lucas. Do do my lips resemble hers? Even as a substitute, I’m more than happy to
stay by your side. Please, don’t break up with me!” Aria pleaded desperately.
Lucas, on the other hand, pulled his hand away and returned to the sofa. “What a shame. You’ve even
lost the right to serve as her substitute.”
How could a person like her be that little girl’s substitute?
He had been searching for a person like that, only to be disappointed repeatedly. There would always
be something about those women that reminded him of that girl, but this illusion would be shattered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtonce they got together. No matter how he tried, he just couldn’t feel the emotions he felt from his
interactions with the little girl
It felt like he was desperately trying to grasp something, only for it to slip out of his hands all the time.
Arla wanted to lunge at Lucas and persuade him to let her stay, but two security guards came up and
held her back
“Lucas.” she called to him desperately, but he couldn’t even be bothered to look at her.
The living room fell silent once more after Aria was led outside. Lucas glanced at the television screen,
but his attention was fully on Serenity’s figure.
If it was her, he probably wouldn’t feel disappointed.
Still, it would be a waste to treat her as a mere substitute.
He was well aware that he had been caught up in Aria’s plot. It made him unhappy, of course, but he
was angrier at the fact that Serenity was a victim too.
Meanwhile, Serenity was observing the public sentiment on the internet. It had changed completely in a
matter of hours.
Earlier that evening, many had been criticizing her. However, they seemed to have now turned their
pitchforks against Aria instead. She was surprised by how quickly they switched targets.
“You hired this expert?” she asked Jackson, who was next to her. She assumed that a busy person like
him would never be bothered to look at internet gossip.
“Yeah,” he replied. “Why didn’t you tell me about this in the afternoon?” If Connor hadn’t told him about
it, Jackson would probably still be unaware of the incident now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I didn’t think it was a big deal,” answered Serenity. After all, compared to being locked up behind bars,
being criticized by strangers on the Internet was relatively trivial.
“There’s nothing about this that’s not a big deal,” said Jackson. To him, everything about Serenity was
a big deal. “I don’t enjoy seeing people bully my girlfriend on the internet.”
So, you were behind the fake users too?” asked Serenity.
“Some of them, yes.”
“Some!” Serenity’s eyes were full of doubt,
Jackson smilingly explained, “Do you seriously think Aria is Miss Ginody Twn–Shoes? For a person like
her to sucklenly become Lucas‘ girlfriend, the internet’s not gonna let her live in peace. In fact, I don’t
think she even knows how many people she has pissed off.”
Serenity thought about his answer, and it did indeed make sense.
