593 Victim Card (2/2)
With that, the opinions from the crowd had split in half. Some believed Laurel Wang, while others remained neutral.
”Why?” On the brink of breaking down, Laurel Wang bit her lower lip as she shifted her gaze to Lexi. ”I didn't intend to love him — he made me. He told me all sort of lies — even denied that you're still together. I'm foolish to fall to such a man, I'm sorry.” The second Laurel Wang apologized to Lexi, a tear fell from her eyes.
”Tsk tsk, Mr. Lu, how can you be so heartless? Playing with these two beauties' hearts like that?” Clicking his tongue, Zack Lee shook his head sideways in disappointment.
No one dared to speak their mind, and could only sympathize with Laurel Wang in silence. Yet, Zack Lee uttered the main thoughts in their mind, giving justice to the poor Laurel Wang.
”Ah?” Instead of appearing remorseful, Ethan Lu's face distorted in dismay. There was not a single tinge of guilt that could be seen on his surface as he looked at Zack Lee in disdain.

”Miss Wang, didn't you want the scandal between you and Mr. Lu to look more believable? I'm doing this for you because I can't take you out of my mind and if helping you with him will make you happy — I'll be happy to assist!”
”You're really stupid... you're not helping me in any way. Go now before I kill you myself.” The recorded conversation was brief yet, it was full of emotions.
Unlike her tone and behavior seconds ago, she sounded vicious in the conversation. Especially as she spouted her last remark, everyone could not believe that her voice seeped grudges.
Laurel Wang could hear her world slowly crumble down. Her lip color had entirely left with no color as her knees weakened, giving way the next second as she plopped to the tiled floor.
”No...”
