“I want all the size M clothes in this store!”
“What!”
Even though she couldn’t buy an entire store, Diana was still furious beyond measure because she was wearing size M!
Fredrica’s action clearly prohibited her from purchasing clothes in this store!
“Sure.”
When a customer wants to buy a large quantity of clothes, the store manager naturally wouldn’t want to
disappoint the customer and miss out on sales. So why not?
Although there were only a few dozen sets of size M clothes, buying them all would cost as much as a small house in the city.
Diana witnessed Fredrica standing up for me without even batting an eye, fueling her hatred to the point
of stomping her feet. Yet there was nothing she could do besides angrily storming away.
“It’s not worth wasting your money on an unrelated woman.”
After leaving the store, I expressed my opinion.
I truly didn’t value someone like Diana.
Fredrica grumbled lazily, “Because she thinks the Reed family is rich, she dares to be so arrogant. I just
want her to realize that her money is nothing compared to ours!”
“I’m telling you, if you didn’t hide the fact that you are a successful and wealthy person, and could use
money to crush them, for the past four years they wouldn’t have oppressed you like this.” Fredrica always held a grudge against the Reed family.
I not only had a large following of millions of fans, but I also owned Starlight Media.
Fredrica was just a manager working for me.
I forced a stiff smile.

It’s not that I didn’t think about telling Lucas the truth, but every time I opened my mouth, he would turn away and leave, never giving me a chance.
Time kept passing, and I didn’t bother bringing it up.
The Third–person Perspective
Tonight, Lucas went to the Williams‘ house.
Williams‘ sister had just given birth to a baby girl, and today they were celebrating the one–month
birthday of the baby.
Lucas leaned back on the sofa and saw Williams‘ brother–in–law carrying the baby in, paying no attention to the expensive and clumsy outfit while changing the baby’s diaper, and suddenly Lucas thought of his daughter, Eva.
In his memories, it seemed like he had never changed diapers for the little girl.
Evelyn forced him to marry her in this way, so he kept all his anger inside.
Knowing that she had a child only made him angrier, and he would rather spend more time on work, even if it meant neglecting the child.
“Am I failing as a father??” His voice hoarse, he asked Williams.
Williams stopped drinking and looked at him. “You also failed as a husband.”
Lucas was taken aback.
“I never wanted to be her husband!” He angrily retorted.
He despised Evelyn’s cowardly forced marriage tactics!
Williams nodded. “Indeed, you don’t want to be her husband, but you should even help strangers in
need, right?”
“When she gave birth, she had postpartum hemorrhage, and the baby had complications, almost dying in an instant. When I saw her, she was holding the baby with a lifeless face, but still begging the doctor to take her blood to save the child. The doctor refused, and she had no choice but to bang her head and beg.”
“Is that true?” Lucas couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at Williams.

“Of course it’s true. Eva had a blood infection and needed an urgent blood transfusion, but the hospital didn’t have the right blood type. They had to temporarily mobilize people to donate.”
“The baby’s condition was critical, and there might not have been enough time to wait for blood donors. That’s why Evelyn was so desperate.”
Williams knew the situation at the time because he was working at the hospital.
In fact, he didn’t like Evelyn, but after witnessing that scene, his thoughts about her slowly changed.
Lucas was stunned. He couldn’t believe that was the truth.
He suddenly remembered that there was a time when Evelyn called him many times, but he thought she just wanted to cause trouble, so he didn’t pay attention.
And he ignored it.
Now thinking back, those calls were when she gave birth!
When she called him, was she really… seeking help? Thinking that he could save Eva?
So today, when she asked the question “What happened when Eva was born,” she wanted to let him
know about this?
His heart suddenly ached, and he got up and ran outside.
“Lucas!”
Cathy and Robert arrived just in time, seeing Lucas running so fast, she shouted loudly.
Lucas left without even looking at her.
“What’s happening? What did you say to him?” Robert angrily approached Williams, questioning him.
Williams shrugged. “What can I say? It’s just old stories that Evelyn has exaggerated.”
黏
“You!” Robert said.furiously. “You clearly know that Lucas is the only one the Cathy family can rely on now. Why would you say such things?”
“I just don’t want Lucas to miss his true thought, lest he make more mistakes!” Williams’s eyes looked deeply at Cathy, without saying another word as he walked away.
Cathy stared intently at the empty seat where Lucas had just been sitting, her eyes filled with turmoil.

Evelyn’s Perspective
Because I was worried that the divorce would affect Eva’s mood, I had let Eva take a break from school
for a while, and today was the day she was returning to school.
“Goodbye, Mom.” Eva waved her hand to me, her short legs stepping into the school.
Watching her daughter’s adorable figure, I beamed with joy.
Only after Eva’s figure completely disappeared did I turn around and take a few steps before seeing Lucas by the roadside.
Lucas rarely came to the school, this is….
I guessed, approaching him. “Mr. Reed, is something wrong?”
Lucas’s gaze slowly moved to my face, and for the first time today, he looked at me seriously.
A petite oval face with delicate and clean features.
He couldn’t deny that the woman in front of him was extremely beautiful.
It’s just that she was too thin.
“When Eva was born, you bled a lot, the child got infected and needed blood filtration. Why have you
never told me?”
I was taken aback. I didn’t expect Lucas to ask this.
“At the time when I needed you, you didn’t come. What’s the use now?” I lowered my head and smiled,
hiding the sadness in my eyes.
Lucas: “…”

He fell silent for a moment, then took out a check from his pocket and handed it to me. “Consider this as compensation for you.”
I looked at the check.
There were many zeros on the check, enough to highlight his generosity.
He always thought about his attitude after learning about this incident.

He thought, at least for the sake of the child, he would apologize, but in the end… with money?
I shouldn’t have had any illusions about him.
“No need.” I coldly avoided the check, refusing directly. “I will remember the past, let alone after so many years have passed? I won’t accept your money.”
“And from now on, we owe each other nothing.”
After saying that, I tilted my head and looked at him with an indifferent smile.
Lucas was extremely surprised by my reaction.
According to his opinion, it was because of the Reed family’s money that I had tried every means to enter the Reed family.
Why would I refuse the money when it was handed to me?
