Chapter 1192 Fired By Everyone
“That’s not it. I wasn’t trying to steal anything,” denied Lucy as she waved her hands. “I just wanted to see you. You know how I feel about—”
“I don’t want to know. As I said, if at all possible, I wish that you didn’t rescue me at all. Your so-called help is worthless if it only causes me distress and trouble.”
Lucy’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “Why must you treat me like this? Have you no heart?”
I saved him, but he’s saying that he didn’t want me to save him. He even regarded it as a problem.
“You’re the one who is heartless,” Shane retaliated. “More than that, you are shameless as well. There is nothing wrong with loving another person, but you shouldn’t expect that person to love you back, especially if that person has a family of his own. You keep staring at me as though you’re in love with me and keep chasing after me. What the hell are you trying to do? Are you trying to destroy my family?”
“I…” Lucy wanted to say that was not what she was doing, but she simply couldn’t utter those words.
“See that? You can’t even deny it or defend yourself. That makes it so that your love is tainted. Also, you tried to ruin my wedding yesterday! Do you honestly think I’d let you go after the stunt you pulled? You rescued me and I’ve repaid my debt to you with money and have transferred the sum into your father’s account. From now on, there is absolutely nothing that connects us, so just leave. Never show up in front of me again. In fact, if I ever see you again, I will crush you and I will not show you any mercy!”
After saying his piece, Shane got back into his car and drove around Lucy to leave.
Lucy stared in the direction where Shane’s car had driven off blankly. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in and fell to the ground as she bawled her eyes out.
Why? Why must heaven treat me this way? I was just trying to fight for my love. Why is everyone looking down on me for it? Why do they think that I made a mistake? Is that really a mistake?
Lucy was still thinking about it when her phone rang.
She took out her phone and checked the screen. When she saw that it was a call from Sean, her expression changed. She quickly dried her tears and picked up the call. “Hello.”
“You are so useless. I told you to stay in Thompson Group and help me out, but you got chased out before I could even assign you any tasks. You truly disappointed me,” Sean said. His voice sounded even and warm, but the iciness hidden within made Lucy shudder.
Lucy gripped her phone. Her voice was trembling when she asked, “H-How did you know that I—”
“I heard it, of course.” Sean smirked.
“You put a bug on me?”
“How will I keep myself updated on your matter if I don’t eavesdrop on you? I have to be sure that you won’t betray me in the heat of the moment.”
“I didn’t!”
Sean snorted. “I know, but it doesn’t matter. Our cooperation ends right here and now. I shouldn’t have trusted an idiot like you.”
He knew how Lucy felt about Shane, but he didn’t expect her to be that impulsive and dumb.
She didn’t build herself up or plant her roots after joining Thompson Group. She never even considered improving herself before trying to get close to Shane. Instead, she badgered him as soon as she got in. It’s only natural that he’d develop a distaste for her. I can’t believe I actually planned to work with her. That was stupid of me.
That was the first time Sean had admitted to being wrong, so it was only natural that he felt a little frustrated.
Lucy got so angry when the man called her an idiot that her face turned red. “H-How dare you insult me like that?”
“Was I wrong? Gah, I’m just wasting my breath here talking to you.”
After saying his piece, Sean hung up right away.
Lucy was so livid that she stomped her foot and wanted to smash her phone. However, she couldn’t bring herself to destroy a perfectly fine phone, so she ended up putting it back in her bag. She turned around and stared in the direction where Shane had left once more. Then, with a broken heart, she looked down and left.
