Lucas Morgan gently caressed Lily Grant's slightly reddened face, his face full of concern and urgency.
Turning back to look at Chloe Grant, his expression instantly turned fierce, frowning as he warned, "Have you beco reckless since coming to the Morgan family, seeing how my mom and the elders dote on you?"
His tone was completely like that of an elder reprimanding a junior.
Chloe Grant lifted her head to look at him, calmly wiping away her tears.
She even forgot to feel sad and thought, over these years, has Lucas ever warned or scolded her in such a tone?
It seed... only this ti.
And Lucas Morgan evidently felt it wasn't enough, directly pulling Lily Grant over, holding her in his arms, declaring his authority, "She is not only your cousin, but also my future wife. From now on, you should call her Aunt. Chloe Grant, no matter how willful you are, I can tolerate you, but I will not allow you to act out against Lily Grant."
"Lucas, what are you doing?" Lily quickly tapped Lucas Morgan, complaining, "I know you are good to , but there's no need to provoke my cousin like this; she's already very upset."
As Lily Grant spoke, she walked toward Chloe Grant, squatting down, intent on helping her, but Chloe's eyes instantly darkened, glaring at her coldly, "Don't touch !"
Chloe Grant's low roar made Lily's hand freeze mid-air, embarrassed whether to retract it or not.
"Chloe Grant!" Lucas Morgan shouted angrily.
Chloe looked up, just eting Lucas Morgan's eyes. In his gaze, there was misunderstanding, anger, but most of all, disappointnt.
It was this disappointed look that pierced Chloe Grant with pain all over.
It was a sting that spread from her heart, reaching from every cell to every vein, sparing none.
"You've never looked at like this before." Chloe Grant said, her voice already hoarse.
That was the result of desperately holding back pain and tears.
The pain, not only in her heart but also in the flesh of her arm, intensified by Lucas Morgan's look.
"That's because you've gone too far." Lucas Morgan replied, but his tone had softened quite a bit.
Clearly, he still felt sorry for this kind of Chloe Grant.
Chloe turned her head, missing the pity in Lucas's eyes, her gaze just shifted from him to Lily Grant.
Too far?
Chloe Grant didn't think so!
Facing such betrayal and slander, she rely showed a cold attitude, how was that going too far?!
This is far from enough!
Lucas Morgan had already squatted down, reaching to grab Lily Grant's arm. At this mont, Chloe Grant, who had been staring at Lily, suddenly raised her hand and slapped Lily!
This slap was made right in front of Lucas Morgan, causing Lily's face to tilt over.
Lucas Morgan was stunned for a second.
Chloe Grant smiled, her right hand already completely limp, but she still held her chin up proudly, "Lily Grant, this slap is my first demand! In the future, I will return everything you gave , one by one."
And with interest!
This betrayal, Chloe Grant will rember for a lifeti!
"Chloe Grant!"
Lucas Morgan, beside them, ca to his senses, furious, about to raise his right hand to strike Chloe Grant's face.
But just a second before the slap was about to fall, Lucas Morgan managed to stop himself.
Chloe Grant was startled, turning her head to see the slap that was about to land on her face, she was shocked, looking back at Lucas Morgan full of anger, unable to believe it.
"You... wanted to hit ?"
Just four simple words, but they made Chloe Grant tremble.
Lucas Morgan actually... wanted to hit her for Lily Grant?
