"No, I got in trouble! Jessica, she posted a tweet!" Luna panicked.
Trissy got up and walked to her.
Trissy couldn't help but frown when she saw Luna's face go pale. "What did she tweet? Why are you so scared? We had a perfect play. Jessica can't prove her innocence even if..."
Before she finished speaking, a cold male voice came from the door, "Even if?"
Trissy trembled when she heard Lucas' words. "Mr. Thomas, are you here to visit Luna?"
She tried to keep herself calm, but when she met Lucas' gaze, Trissy was afraid. "I'm going out for some fresh air!"
After saying that, Trissy ran out of the ward as if she was escaping.
If Lucas sent her abroad again, she couldn't come back for the rest of her life!
Trissy wasn't that stupid. Max was dead, but she still had a few decades of a good life.
Lucas did not pay attention to Trissy. He had just received a call from Vincent, saying that Luna and he hit the headlines again.
Jessica made public the voice recording, proving that she did not say a word.
Lucas understood that he had been tricked.
He had thought that Luna was the naive and innocent girl just like she had been before, but it seemed that she was much more scheming than he thought.
"What do you want?" asked Lucas.
After so many years, he knew that he did not have any feelings for Luna, but she saved his life.
When Luna heard this, her pale face became even paler. "Lou, it's not like that. Listen to me, I just..."
"Luna, do I look like a fool?"
Maybe Lucas believed in her in the beginning. After all, Jessica loved him so much, and she had admitted that she didn't want to give up on him.
However, Jessica had been his wife for three years, so he knew her in some sense.
Lucas thought Jessica was both stupid and smart.
Some gossip amounted to nothing. If she was smart, she should ask him for compensation.
But, he could understand now. As a girl born into the noble Hall family, she was proud enough not to do so.
Luna still wanted to say something, but she stopped when she met Lucas' golden eyes, which seemed to see through her.
Luna stiffened and pursed her lips guiltily.
Lucas looked at her and asked again, "Tell me, what do you want? I will try my best to satisfy you."
"Anything?"
"As long as I have it."
Luna knew that it was her only chance. The Thomas family would not allow her to marry Lucas, and Lucas would not mention marrying her again.
But she wanted to give it a try!
If it hadn't been for her help, Lucas would have been dead long ago, and Jessica wouldn't have married Lucas!
The unwillingness and pain from lying in bed for the past few years made emboldened Luna. She gritted her teeth. "I want you to keep your promise, Lou."
She paused. "I want you to marry me."
Vincent found that he could not remove the headline because Eden was behind the scenes.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Vincent called Lucas.
When his phone rang, Lucas frowned impatiently. "How's that?"
"Mr. Thomas, we can't remove the headlines within twelve hours. Eden is the man behind the scenes."
"Got it."
Lucas hung up.
He looked at the burning cigarette between his fingers, and Luna's words kept echoing in his head.
"Lou, are you falling in love with Jessica?"
"No."
"Then why don't you marry me?"
"Because I don't like you."
"Will you agree if Jessica remarries you?"
"No."
"Jessica won't marry you again. Lou, I can see that she has no feelings for you."
When Luna said this, she cracked a gloating smile.
Lucas didn't know why she gloated.
But Luna's smile made him inexplicably angry, and he didn't know the reason.
Lucas twitched his lips, put out his cigarette, and drove away from the hospital.
Because it cannot be removed, the tweet remained on trending topic for twelve hours.
Almost all the netizens abused Luna and Lucas. After all, Jessica's tweet not only pointed out the fact that Luna was a drama queen but also pointed out that Lucas bribe her to keep silent.
This scandal was spread far and wide, and Justin was so angry that he was sent to the hospital because of an attack of high blood pressure.
