As soon as Rebecca opened the door, Lake shoved her aside and dashed into the house before she could even
“Vespera.” Luke ran toward the living room and saw Vespera sitting on the couch.
en say a word.
As she wearily met his cold gaze, he gulped hard before speaking hoarsely. “I wasn’t aware of the press conference in the moming ”
Vespera looked nonchalant. “So? What brought you here?”
Luke sat next to Vespera, who immediately moved to the couch opposite him.
Luke was speechless but did not follow. He merely said, “Tomorrow, I’ll personally make a statement to explain what happened today.”
Wespera retorted by asking, “You want to make things clear. How? By saying that your mother made up a few lies? Or are you going to admit to your affair with Tina?”
Lake was speechless. He merely intended to explain that he never
or had a childhood betrothal with Tina, nor did they engage in an affair.
Vespera was also his wife. Those photos of her with another man at a hotel were fabricated.
Vespera seemed to know what was on Luke’s mind. “Your cryptic explanation will only leave others confused, and they’ll find it rather contradictory. That’ll just cause more speculation. Up until now, you still can’t own up to what you did, Luke.”
Luke leaned forward. “As long as
gas we get back together, those speculations and rumors will eventually fade away after some time.” vespera snorted loudly. “Your affair with Tina during our marriage isn’t a rumor. But the things your mother said about me? Those everything clearly or keep your mouth shut,”
rumors. Either you clarity
Luke was rendered speechless. Humans were driven by self–interest and would never implicate themselves. Why would he announce that he had an affair? Rebecca stood aside while listening to their conversation. Then, she interrupted them, asking casually, “Luke, are you admitting that the things Felicia accused Vespera of in the moming were all false?”
Luke cast a glance at Rebecca, his gaze intense. He seemed to low what was going on, but did not want to expose her. He merely smiled helplessly and nodded.”
“Tina almost caused your mother to end up in jall, yet your mother is speaking on her behalf. Don’t you find it strange?
Is it possible that the Sowles instigated relicta into hosting the press conference? More accurately spealing, could it have been Tina?”
“It’s possible. I don’t know.”
“But you admit it’s most likely, right?”
“So, let’s link everything together. Tina was subjected to online harassment because someone posted a video of her at the airport on Instagram a few days ago. “Fueled by hatred, Tina also wanted to clear her name. So, she sought your mother out, or might have even threatened or bribed her into spreading false accusations that would min Vespera’s reputation
“Tina asked your mother to step up and make the announcement. That way, Tina can clear her name while pinning the blame on Vespera. Am I right?” “Yes” With that, Luke took a deep breath. Seeing that Rebecca had more to say, he rabbed his hand. “Ms. Snyder, you must have recorded enough as evidence, dight? I’m sure it’s sufficient for you to use in court.”
Rebecca looked embarrassed.So, Luke was aware of what she was doing.
but it wasn’t a surprise rithe. As the CEO of Eclipse Group, there was no way
ay Luke could be an idiotHe could tell that she was eager to get a confession out of him. But Rebecca never expected that Lake would willingly fall for the trap. It seemed like he did have a conscience after all.
Vespera gazed at Luke with a conflicted expression. “Let’s end this. If we don’t, Tina will never let me off. Today, she incited your mom to spread rumors about me. What about tomorrow? The day after?
“While you may not have lilled, you’ll be the reason for my demise. How is that any different from killing me?
“Whether you truly feel guilty or actually love me, you’ve already made a mistake. We can never go back to the past. What’s the point of the three of us getting entangled with each other!!
