Chapter 35 Irrefutable

The sun shone warmly, but the autumn breeze was cold.

Lucille looked gentle and obedient wearing her business suit, and she was quite the beauty.Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but clench her fists at the sight of Michaela.

The scene before her was just like how it had been when she was five years old. She followed behindJacob timidly into the Lingard residence. The latter, who was wearing a pink princess dress, happened tobe walking down the stairs. She looked as beautiful as a princess as she looked down at her witharrogant eyes.

For so many years, Michaela seemed so precious that she was far out of her reach. On the other hand,Lucille was just like a maid standing beside her. She was never treated equally and even had to gettormented by slanders.

The only reason she had intentionally tried to please and act courteously was to gain Michaela’s trust.However, it had long been since she decided that she would take back everything that belonged to her.

Then, she had successfully taken the first step. As long as she got married into the Lingard family, shewould be able to reduce her sister to dust.

Even if Zack hadn’t exposed what had happened between him and Lucille, Michaela’s wedding wouldn’thave gone as planned anyway. Later on, she took advantage of the situation and put on an act to try tocommit suicide. Hence, earning the man’s promise.

She even told someone to give Michaela a call. Wasn’t that just another way to declare war?

Still, even if she had everything planned, she did not expect Jonathan to be involved. Moreover, Zack stilldidn’t dare to bring her home to meet his parents.

Since Michaela’s the ideal daughter-in-law in everyone’s eyes, I’m going to ruin everything and destroyher reputation.

A cold glint flashed across Lucille’s eyes, but she quickly pulled herself back to reality. With a sweetsmile, she called out to her sister, “Michaela!”

The latter’s brows creased at the sight of the familiar figure. Just as she was about to get back into thecar, Lucille had already caught up to her. “I know I was wrong, Michaela. I came today to apologize toyou. Can’t we talk for a while?”

“What else is left to say between us?” Michaela said with an icy look in her eyes.

Ever since the matter of Zack cheated on her with Lucille had been exposed, together with how the latterputting on a pitiful act at the emergency room, and her words with a hidden meaning behind them from afew days ago; she didn’t think that there was even an ounce of sisterly bond left between them, muchless the fact that they could still talk things out.

On the contrary, Lucille’s appearance made her feel as though she had been played like a fool in thepast ten years.

Whatever excuses she had were proven wrong, and what had happened in the past turned into a hugejoke.

Michaela sneered at the sight of her sister’s vulnerable act. Right when she was about to take a sidesteparound her, Lucille grabbed hold of her arm.

“I know you hate me, Michaela. I know that you don’t want to see me, but I know that I was wrong. It wasmy fault for falling for Zack. But no matter how hard I tried to hide my feelings, I couldn’t lie to myself anylonger. Michaela, I’ve been avoiding everything you like since we were young. Nonetheless, Zack and Itruly love each other. Can you please forgive me just this once?”

She was close to tears as she spoke. Michaela fought the urge to clap and applaud her for having suchgreat acting skills.

With an amused look in her eyes, the latter said coldly, “There’s no one else here, Lucille. You don’t haveto continue acting anymore. Aren’t you tired of having to put up an act like this every day? I don’t care ifyou snatch Zack away from me anyway.”

But Lucille was still engrossed in her act. Tears streamed down her face, and she still wouldn’t let go ofher sister’s arm. “I was wrong, Michaela. Please don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?”

“I’m going to call the cops if you’re going to continue to act unreasonably like this.”

Michaela gritted her teeth out of anger toward her sister’s pitiful act. Then, with a swing, she finallymanaged to get herself out of Lucille’s grasp.

Just as she was about to leave, she watched as the latter threw herself against the car that was stoppedbeside them. A loud bang sounded, and by the time Lucille turned back, her forehead was alreadycovered in red.

Michaela was aghast. She noticed a sly smile on Lucille’s face for a split second before she kneeled onthe floor. Then, with her body trembling, Lucille wailed, “Please don’t hit me, Michaela! I was wrong. Iwon’t do it anymore. I swear I won’t see Zack anymore.”

A strong sense of foreboding nagged at her. The former took a few steps back. Yet, a swarm of reporterscame out of nowhere and surrounded her, each one of them shoving a mic in her face.

“Ms. Michaela, did you hit Ms. Lucille because she snatched your fiancé away from you?”

“Ms. Michaela, is it true that Ms. Lucille and Mr. Zack are the ones who love each other, and you’re theone who came between them?”

“How could you be so ruthless and hit Ms. Lucille when you’re her sister? Ms. Michaela, seeing that Ms.Lucille is so afraid of you, it seems like it’s a normal occurrence for you to hit her, right?”

“Ms. Michaela, why do you not care for the sisterhood between you and Ms. Lucille when she and Mr.Zack love each other? Why don’t you give them your blessing?”

“Please tell us something, Ms. Michaela.”

“That’s right. Please say something.”

With so many reporters surrounding her, Michaela couldn’t get a word out of her mouth. Meanwhile,Lucille wiped off the blood from her forehead as a vicious look crossed her face.

Just as she was about to get up to continue with her act, she heard the sound of a car braking. Beforeshe could even react, she saw Jonathan getting down from a Bentley.

Panic flashed across her face, but she quickly acted miserable again as she walked toward him. “Mr.Xander, please help Michaela…”

Right when Lucille went up to Michaela earlier, Gary had sent a video of what had happened to the man.

At first, Gary didn’t want to show up. However, it was too late when he wanted to help Michaela as therewere too many reporters surrounding the woman.

Fortunately, Jonathan was already on his way from the airport. Having found out that everything wasLucille’s plan, the man’s face darkened. Even his voice was icy as he said, “I’m no good man, Ms.

Lucille. You better stay far away from Mich and stop using such underhanded methods!”

The woman’s eyes constricted and cold sweat beaded on her back.

Once he finished speaking, he brought his men along with him and rushed into the crowd. Lucille darednot stay a second longer. She quickly hailed a taxi and left.

Ever since she was young, Michaela had attended countless banquets. Yet, this was the first time shewas blocked and questioned by so many reporters.

In an instant, her face paled.

Even though she knew that this was all a part of Lucille’s scheme, she understood that was no point inexplaining anymore.

She knew that people would replace more faults the more she said. Thus, she decided to keep quiet abouttheir questions. Instead, the woman chose to back away from them. But she overlooked the fact thatthere were stairs behind her.

Michaela suddenly staggered backward and fell down the stairs the next second.

There was a road right next to the stairs. Fear spiraled through her when she heard the sound of a carapproaching. There would be catastrophic consequences if she fell just like that.

Right at that moment, someone held her from behind. The woman fell into someone’s warm embrace thenext second, and a soothing voice came from above her, “Be careful!”
