Chapter 270 What are you talking about? (1/2)

”...including Lexi... the love of his life.” Lexi's steps halted and her attempt to call out Mia Chen's name was now stuck in her throat.

Moments ago, she finally realized that Mia Chen was missing. Hence, Lexi excused herself with an excuse to go to call someone so as not to disrupt the three.

However, the moment she exited the room, she heard Mia Chen's statement that was akin to a loud grenade that was tossed at her.

'Deceive everyone? Not real? What are you talking about?' Questions after questions hovered inside her mind yet, she was unable to speak her mind as she just stood there rooted to the tiled floor.

”Mia, what are you saying?” Disbelief raged in his mind at her remarks, Kevin Woo scoffed yet even that seemed to be a short chuckle. To him, she was just saying things for whatever reason she has.

How could that be a lie? Does that mean all of the grand efforts Morris Liu had done was nothing but a circus? No, he wouldn't believe it.

”Is this because of Lexi? Did she say something to you again?”

”No, Lexi... she has always been the one who was misunderstood from the beginning. Brother Mo has always and will always be in love with her— I won't go into the details, it's better to ask brother Mo instead.” Mia Chen shook her head sideways as she explained her pretentious remarks.

She knew that Lexi was there, hearing her every word. Still, she revealed a glimpse of the truth for her to find out. Moreover, knowing Kevin Woo, he would surely stir some trouble for her after knowing that both of his friends were wrapped around Lexi's web.

Indeed, Mia Chen was a selfish woman. Even until the end, she would do something only to fulfill the happiness of her beloved— not caring if the other party would be troubled or shaken.

This, as she perceived, was the last gift that Morris Liu would never accept from her. Thus, she forced it in her own sly way.

”Brother Kevin, sorry for lying to you. I will atone for my sins to everyone by leaving and I won't show my face again to anyone here.” Mia Chen stood from her seat and made a deep bow to show her sincerest apology. Well, she really felt bad for him about her lying to him as he was a good person.

However, her apologies were not because of that but because she planted something in him that would stir his emotions— leading him to his doom.

When Mia Chen straightened her posture, she acted as if to flinch like she was surprised seeing Lexi standing several steps away from them as she looked at them with baffled eyes.

”What... what did you just say?” Stuttering, Lexi heedlessly asked as she never looked away from Mia Chen's delicate face.

”Lexi, I—” Showing troubled, Mia Chen seemed to panic but the next second, she caught Chris Yu's figure behind Lexi as he exited the room.

”Um... what's going on?” Oblivious about the matter, Chris Yu broke the tension surrounding the whole floor.
