A Love Trap

Clyde replied, "Either way, it doesn't matter. We already canceled the wedding. Let's go home to see Raymond."

Cora replied, "Right! Raymond! I don't know how he's doing now. He didn't look good. It was all Lena's fault! Did you see what she did to Raymond? Oh! I have to remind you! You can't do business with the Mu Group anymore! What Lena did was terrible! I'm so angry with her! Her family has to pay for it!"

Clyde replied, "Okay! Just relax. I'll do whatever you say." When he spoke, his voice was loving and seemingly conniving.

In the Mu family's house, Spencer looked at Lena, who was still kneeling on the floor even after Cora and Clyde had left.

His face was still red in anger. He asked, "Tell me! Were Cora telling the truth? Did you do those horrible things?"

She simply admitted, "I did."

"What a scoundrel!" he cursed.

Then he scolded, "I told you to stay away from him! Don't you know who he is? He's the successor of the Lu family, the most powerful family in the J City. We can't afford to cross him!

I can't believe this! I have to butter him up. But you! How could you even try to seduce him? You went as far as abort your baby. Look at what you've done! Are you happy now?"

As he thought of how it was Lena's fault that he lost the Luo Group as his partner, he only got angrier.

Peggy was angry with Lena too. She too looked mad. After Lena got engaged, she'd been showing off to others about how bright Lena's future was.

Now, she was going to be the biggest joke.

And her friends would ask her about it. They would ask her how it happened. She didn't even know how to tell them so she wouldn't feel more embarrassed.
