455 Not a gentleman (1/2)

Mia Chen's world began shaking until it slowly crumbled while she was in the middle of it. She could vividly hear its crisp cracking sound followed by a thunderous bolt of lightning.

”No…” A lifeless word escaped her mouth as her knees gave way. A loud thud immediately followed as she collapsed on the floor.

The only assurance she has to break Lexi and Ethan Lu apart completely failed. No, it was already impossible in the beginning. All her efforts, all her wasted time waiting for this very day, everything were all for naught.

Looking up at Kevin Woo's pair of hurt eyes, her gaze slowly shifted to Lexi, then to Ethan Lu. Aside from Kevin Woo, all eyes on her bore nothing but nonchalance.

They weren't enraged nor they looked at her with sympathy. To her, what lies beneath their eyes was nothing— they were empty. It was as if all these time, they didn't care about her very existence.

Her value to them was nothing. That's for sure.

'I see...' Her subconscious mind whispered. How could she not see this?

Lexi already moved on and continued to what's up ahead of them. Therefore, this small skit of hers, Lexi just dealt with it because it's on her way.

To Lexi, this was just something that should be dealt with to avoid unnecessary problems in the future. However, if Mia Chen chose not to interfere with her life again, Lexi wouldn't as well.

It was as simple as that. And it only proved that Mia Chen was nothing but a blind fool.

”You...” Just then, Ethan Lu who was nonchalant from the beginning began walking towards Mia Chen's figure.

Instinctively, Mia Chen shifted her gaze to Ethan Lu's that were akin to Satan's thirsty eyes that were ready to devour anything— bit by bit— even her soul.

Upon reaching her standpoint, maintaining his distance from her, Ethan Lu unhurriedly squatted down. Staring straight at the hopeless eyes before him, the corner of his lips slightly curled into a smirk.

”I hope you've prepared for the worst because there's only one person that can save you... me.” Keeping his tone low, Ethan Lu made sure that only Mia Chen could hear him. ”Hmm? Did you think your accomplice will help you?” Smirking, Ethan Lu purposely muttered.

Upon hearing his last remarks, Mia Chen's eyes widened. He knew that as well? They knew that she has an accomplice? Or he was just baiting her?

”I—”

”You don't have one? Are you saving him? Miss Chen, if you're so willing to spend the rest of your life behind bars, no one is stopping you.” Ethan Lu scoffed as he could not believe that Mia Chen still has the heart to lie.

She was already cornered and facing Ethan Lu and Morris Liu, Mia Chen would surely face tons of lawsuits. Even if she managed to find herself a lawyer, with the Lu Corporation and Liu Empire's legal team, her win would be a miracle.
