Emily Sterling stared intently at Alexander Johnson’s phone screen, unable to believe her eyes.
After all, she had watched Lucas Hughes and Chloe Simpson be together for so many years.
Back then, she hadn’t retired from the hospital yet.
She had played a big part in getting Chloe and Lucas together.
But now...
She could never have imagined that Lucas Hughes was such a person.
From the very beginning, Chloe being blocked by thugs in that alley and Lucas rescuing her had been planned from start to finish entirely by him.
That was one thing, but what was even more unexpected was that Lucas actually got injured during it, an injury to his corpus cavernosum, which rendered him impotent for all these years.
She didn’t know how Lucas had managed to deceive her daughter for so long.
And Chloe was soone who valued emotions deeply, especially when it ca to love and n, considering she grew up without a father.
As a mother, Emily Sterling obviously knew her daughter well.
But she truly couldn’t imagine what kind of life her daughter had been living all these years.
The most important thing was that they were even married, and they hadn’t consummated the marriage... No! It wasn’t that they hadn’t consummated!
It was that Lucas Hughes handed Chloe over to Alexander Johnson for the sake of his chief physician position and money.
Looking back at everything that happened, Emily Sterling was even more in disbelief.
Not only had Lucas Hughes handed Chloe over to Alexander Johnson, but he had perversely wanted to give her to his good brother to provoke himself as a form of therapy.
"Beast! Truly a beast! Chloe, I’m sorry, if I had known what kind of man he was, I would never have brought the two of you together."
Emily Sterling clenched her fists, her regret so deep she could kill herself.
Even at this mont, she couldn’t believe everything she was seeing.
But every single thing Alexander Johnson had investigated was confird beyond doubt.
"Young Mister Johnson, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. I’ve always thought that being the Young Master of the Capital Circle, you rich people, who knows how many won are around you?"
"Moreover, I thought that with your power and influence, you’d settle everything casually, so you wouldn’t truly care about Chloe, wouldn’t cherish our Chloe, it turns out I was truly wrong."
"The one who doesn’t cherish her, the most despicable, the one who is unbearable, is Lucas Hughes, a creature worse than a beast."
Thinking of her preconceived notions and attitude towards Alexander Johnson, Emily Sterling began to apologize.
"It’s alright, Mada. Actually, I ca today to talk to you about so urgent matters. I hope that you, as a mother, can save Chloe."
"I’ve really run out of options now. Recently, because of so things I did, Lucas Hughes has beco increasingly unhinged. He even started drugging Chloe."
"Besides, he always put up a good front in front of Chloe. That’s why Chloe fell for his tricks. Now, he has almost completely controlled her with so ntal drug."
"What! That creature lower than an animal, he... he actually did this, I’m going to find him right now and bring Chloe back."
Having heard everything, Emily Sterling could no longer bear it and stood up to rush over to Lucas Hughes to bring Chloe back.
"Mada, please don’t act impulsively. Chloe is really under Lucas Hughes’s control now. If you just go over like that, I’m afraid not only would you fail to bring Chloe back, but it might backfire."
Alexander Johnson hastily tried to dissuade her.
"But we can’t just sit by and watch Lucas Hughes continue to do this to Chloe!"
Emily Sterling’s emotions beca more intense upon hearing this.
"No, Mada Sterling, please look at this."
At this point, Jack Woods took out a docunt and placed it in front of Emily Sterling.
"What? This won’t work! This absolutely won’t work!"
Seeing the contents of the plan, Emily Sterling imdiately rejected it without a second thought.
If things were to proceed according to this plan, all the years of patience and effort she had endured would have been in vain.
