Get you in my arms

Chapter 58 I Don't Believe

He paused and pursed his lips, "he asked me to stay away from you and said it would be a piece of cake to deal with me. As long as I dare to make a move, X Group and Xue Group will come to a sticky end."

With a violent convulsion, she widened her eyes in disbelief and said: "John, you must have misunderstood Lucas. He can't be like this. He took care of you with me these days and he sent for the doctor for you..." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"It's not the first time for him to deal with the X Group!" John interrupted her.

"What do you mean?" Sophia looked right into his eyes.

"Do you still remember that when the X Group was in trouble, my father's friend was supposed to offer funds to help. At that time, I was so happy that I thought everything was finally over and I didn't need to deal with Ella anymore. But he suddenly regretted and withdrew the money. In addition, the stock of the X Group somehow plummeted. Those partners had already signed contracts and before they signed, they all changed their minds and stopped the cooperation with the X Group. At that time, I could hardly bear it and was suffocated, but I didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried. " Viola raised her head, with her fingers embedded in the inky hair.

"John, what exactly do you want to say? Does it have anything to do with Lucas?"

"Because it was Lucas. He threatened my father's friend to withdraw his capital, and upset the X Group's stock. He let the partners not to cooperate with the X Group." All of a sudden, John looked up, with a fury on his face.

"It's impossible. Why did he do that?" Sophia shook her head with disapproval.

"Of course he did it for you. He will break us up by playing tricks, and then pretend to be a good person to help us and win your favor." John said word by word, gritting his teeth.

"John, did you make a mistake? Lucas is not that kind of person!" Sophia couldn't believe it. Though sometimes Lucas was unpredictable, he was absolutely not that kind of person who played tricks.

"Don't be silly. You should have known him better. You only spent a short time with him. You don't know him at all." John fumbled and grabbed her hand beside the bed. His hands were shaking, "Sophia, you must see what kind of person he really is with your eyes wide open. You are the woman that I can protect with my life. I want you to be happy. I don't want you to be cheated and marry to a man who doesn't know how to behave."

Sophia's face was ghostly pale. Was he really that horrible? She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it either. She had to find it out.

She didn't ask Lucas in person. Instead, she went to meet the friends of the father of John and the previous partners. The facts made her flesh creep. If she had guessed it right, the person who threatened them was definitely Minnie. Without the permission of Lucas, how could she do such a thing?

After returning to the Bluewater Villa, she felt exhausted, physically and mentally, and didn't want to move on the sofa.

Chuck walked downstairs and saw a slight smile on her face. He had planned to pick her up, but she came back much earlier than he expected.

He took a bottle of juice from the fridge and gave it to her. But she wanted to drink and forget all her sorrows.

She took it and drank a mouthful of icy juice. The feeling of coolness calmed her down a lot.

"Lucas, let's go to the starry sky tiny house." She turned to him and forced a smile.

"Okay." He nodded and took her hand.

The starry cottage was not far away from green water bay, and it took only an hour to drive, but she chose to take a walk with him.

She pushed the door open and looked up at the starry sky. Suddenly, she had an impulse to cry.

He had built her such a house with stars in it, he loved her, took care of her and even wanted to marry her. Although he was treating her very well, why did he play these dirty tricks to cheat her? Just for obtaining and possession?

She lay on the woollen blanket, enduring the pain in her heart.

"Lucas, let's play a game."

"What game?" He smiled.

"Truth or dare." She said faintly.

"There is nothing interesting to play with such kind of boring thing. Have you watched too many TV series?" He pinched the tip of her chin.

"I want to play." She insisted.

He shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I'll play with you."

"Come on." She clenched her fist. "123, scissors, stones, cloth!"

She punched him, and he did scissors.

He didn't expect her to win in the first round. He must have let her win on purpose.

"I lost. What do you want to ask?" He folded his arms across his chest and looked at her with a smile.

"Have you lied to me?" In order to be straightforward, she decided to say something other first.

"No, I didn't." He answered without any hesitation, and his expression was calm and unperturbed.

In the second play, she won again.

She swallowed and stared at him, "you don't want me to take care of John, do you?"

The corners of his mouth quivered slightly. "Did John tell you something?"

"Answer my question first!"

"Yes, I I'm afraid you'll change your mind. " He sat up and looked up at the sky with a little worry in his eyes.

"You can explain to me directly, there is no need to take the X Group to threaten John." She sat up, with anger on her face.

"Did John tell you that I threatened him?" His beautiful eyebrows suddenly twisted.

"Lucas, I won't just stand by and do nothing when my friend is hurt. If you dare to offend John and the X Group, I will never forgive you!" She said clearly and forcefully.

"Sophia!" A touch of sadness flew into his eyes. He turned his head and suddenly grabbed her shoulder. "Do you really believe what he said?"

"John won't lie to me, nor will he slander you!" She raised her chin and looked at him with extreme certainty.

"So you chose to believe that I am such a bad person!" His chest heaved heavily, heaving the surrounding air.

"I don't want to believe it, but the truth is in front of me!" She stood up and rushed to the window. She felt suffocated and wanted to breathe some fresh air.

"Truth? What truth? Are you telling the truth?" He sneered.

She turned her head and looked straight at him, as if looking at a stranger. "Lucas, tell me honestly, when the X Group is in trouble, did you hire someone to threaten the friends of his father and those cooperative partners to withdraw their investment and terminate contracts? Do you plan to manipulate the stock market and make the stock of X Group plummet, in order to make the X Group in trouble?"

A hint of fear flashed across his face, and he asked, "is this what Viola told you?"

She shook her head miserably. "I went to ask the friends of John's father and the partners of the company, and I got all the information from them. It is proved that these things were done by Minnie. If you didn't mean it, how could she do that?"

He stiffened, staring at her deeply. The shock on his face gradually turned into a kind of unspeakable sadness. "It seems that no matter how I explain, you won't believe me?"

"Yes, the evidence is conclusive. It's not until now that I know nothing about you. You are so hypocritical and terrible!" Tears appeared in her eyes. She raised her head and raised it again, trying to hold back the tears. She shouldn't cry. She shouldn't cry for such a person.
