It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 116

“Lucia, you can’t leave without Malcolm’s order. Enoch said flatly.

Hearing this, Lucia glanced at Enoch who entered the room and looked down. Then she returned to the living room and sat quietly on the sofa. In front of the door, there was not only Enoch, but also Kaleb and several security guards. She couldn’t get out of that room unless she came down from the top floor.

“Lucia, what kind of person do you think Malcolm is?” A real businessman? Or something else?” Enoch asked suddenly.

“What is their relationship? Lucia asked directly without answering his question.

“I don’t know.” Enoch knew who Lucia was referring to.

Lucia raised her head and looked at Enoch, trying to to tell if he was telling the truth. Faced with Lucia’s gaze, Enoch looked her straight in the eyes without hiding any emotion behind. Lucie frowned. She knew he wasn’t lying. “What kind of relationship would they have? Why didn’t Enoch even know? Lucia muttered inwardly, her eyes full of doubts.

“It’s a taboo for Malcolm and also a mortal enemy. At least he’s the only opponent I’ve seen that’s on par with Malcolm. It was really beyond our expectations that he came to you. He even tried by all means to lure Malcolm to the Middle East in order to make you fall into his trap. And you betrayed Malcolm.” There was a hint of disagreement in Enoch’s tone towards Lucia’s behavior.

“You are the first woman Malcolm wants to marry, the first woman he has brought into the family and introduced to my grandmother, and the first person he personally picks you up and sends you home. He even secretly satisfied all your indulgent demands. I have known him for so many years. I asked him once if he had fallen in love with you. He didn’t answer, but I know that you are absolutely important in his heart.” Enoch said word for word, while observing Lucia’s reaction.

Lucia listened silently. When she heard that Enoch said that “He once asked Malcolm if he loved him, his heart beating fast as if it was going to jump out of his throat. Even though she already knew the answer, she still wanted to hear it from Enoch. In the eyes strangers, Malcolm was really kind to her. It was indeed unseen and unforgettable that a person in such a high position as Malcolm could do his best to make her happy. That’s why Lucia brushed off her

feelings. She knew that it was a conspiracy, but she couldn’t hate Malcolm. She even missed him after she found out he was gone.

“But you betrayed him so easily. When you appeared with Kenneth, although Malcolm was expressionless, as far as I know, he must be irritated.” Looking at Lucia who seemed lost in thought, Enoch continued.

“Those who betrayed Malcolm before are no longer in the world. And you are the only one who can still breathe here.” His voice became cold, and the coldness in his eyes was directly for Lucia.

“So? Is it time for me to accept the punishment?” Lucia said sarcastically.

“No, your fate can only be decided by Malcolm, not us. I have no right to do so.” Enoch indifferently denied Lucia’s words.

He got up and walked towards the French window. The street below the window was still deserted because it was still early and there weren’t many people there, except for a few cars passing by. It seemed like he looked at her for a long time before turning around and looking at Lucia.

“Renee…” Enoch suddenly stopped as he said the name, as if he was thinking of something.

Lucia frowned when she heard the name. Of course she knew that name. Until now, countless photos of Renee and Malcolm were still kept in Kenneth’s office. However, after the scandal, Renée seemed to have completely disappeared and even no news of her was heard in the industry. It seemed that she was just a flash in the pan, and there was no trace of her existence.

“Are you curious where she went?” Glancing at Lucia who frowned, Enoch spoke as if he could read her thoughts.

Lucia looked at him and didn’t answer. But her eyes had already betrayed her. After receiving these photos, she was even ready to face the storm, but nothing happened later, which made her confused.

“She is dead.” said Enoch indifferently.

“What?” Lucia exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, she’s dead. She died at Malcolm’s hands.” Enoch said word for word.

Lucia’s eyes were filled with horror. ‘Maybe Malcolm didn’t love Renee, or maybe he had loved her before. But at least the affection shown in the photos was absolutely real. And for such a person, even if he didn’t love her later, at least they were together once. How could he kill her? And what kind of person on earth was Malcolm? Why did he do this without being punished by law? Renee was killed and disappeared as if she had never been in this world.

Lucia looked at Enoch, trying to replace the answer in his eyes. After glancing at Lucia, Enoch continued.

“She was Malcolm’s lover, or in other words, Malcolm attached great importance to her. But she betrayed Malcolm like you did this time. I don’t know much about it. At that time- there, Malcolm let her go. Maybe it was because he didn’t have the heart to hurt her, or maybe it was because of the old love. But when she appeared again, Malcolm would rather pay a huge sum of damages than let her appear in his life. Even though Renee asked him out successfully, she still failed to change his mind in the end. I thought Renee was going to give up ever since. I didn’t expect her to come to you…” After a pause, Enoch looked at Lucia and continued.

“She also created news in the newspaper and even wanted to reveal gossip about her and Malcolm’s past romance to the reporters. All of this caused Malcolm to kill her, and the reason he did it was more to protect you. I know that Renee is much less important than you to Malcolm.” After saying that, Enoch looked at Lucia gently.

Lucia was shocked by his words. — Is that why Renée was killed? How could Malcolm be such a cold and ruthless man? Glancing at Lucia who was gripped by shock and horror, Enoch knew she was frightened by what he had said. Moreover, he could see that there was even disbelief in her eyes.

“He…Who the hell is he?” Lucia paused for a long moment and finally asked.

She knew that Malcolm was definitely not as simple as he seemed. She believed that he was not just an ordinary businessman. It was impossible for a businessman to easily escape the punishment of the law after killing someone. As a businessman, it was impossible for him to be involved in so many dangerous things. Lucia couldn’t help but think about some bad things that had happened to her. Maybe it all had something to do with him.

“Lucia, I can’t deny the existence of a strong businessman. But as long as you want to become stronger, you can’t always remain a strong businessman. Many things had two sides. If this world was truly as fair and just as we hoped it would be, then these dark agreements would never have existed. Malcolm is not as simple as you think. It’s easy for him to make a person disappear from this world .” Enoch was unclear, but gave the simplest explanation.

Lucia also heard a faint warning from him. ‘Renee betrayed him…’ Suddenly, Lucia thought of something. ‘Was she the same as me? Physical and mental betrayal? Therefore, Malcolm hates betrayal so much that he even killed her?

“Lucia, don’t try to escape. Even he can’t. At least I can talk to you here now. In my eyes, you are already an extremely lucky person. I mean you are lucky to can still speak to me alive. Yesterday, I even thought that when I saw you today, you must be a cold and silent corpse.” Enoch said flatly.

Lucia’s fear gradually intensified because of what Enoch had said. No matter how strong a person is, when facing death, there would be a kind of fear from the bottom of one’s heart. Lucia knew Enoch hadn’t told her everything, but it was enough to scare her.

“Lucie, take care of yourself.” After taking one last look at Lucia, Enoch turned and left.

Only Lucia remained in the big house. Enoch’s words echoed in Lucia’s mind. From time to time, Malcolm’s face appeared in his mind. She thought of his smiling face when he joked with her. In any case, she could not connect such a person with the man she had heard from Enoch.

As for how Malcolm killed Renee, Lucia didn’t know. However, she could easily feel Renee’s fear at her death.

Lucia smiles self-deprecatingly. Strangely, she was calm now. She sat quietly on the couch, as if Enoch had never been there and nothing had happened yesterday. But everyone knew that the situation had already changed and was beyond everyone’s control.

“I can’t afford your love, Malcolm. Lucia gathered a heavy sign and said to herself.

“Madam, please come with me.” »

Suddenly the door opened and a man in black appeared in front of Lucia. he said respectfully to Lucia. Then he waved Lucia out and waited for her at the door with a cold face.

Lucia looked down, got up and walked out to face her unknown fate. She suppressed the fear in her heart and fearlessly looked at everyone outside the door. Kaleb couldn’t help but admire Lucia when he saw her fearless eyes.

However, no one could change Lucia’s destiny.
