His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1243:

At those words, Verena’s eyes widened in terror, her breath catching as panic set in.

She stared at Lucas, struggling to process the horrifying implications of what he had just said.

What was he getting at?

Was he really suggesting…?noveldrama

Lucas’s next statement cleared up Verena’s confusion.

“I think you’d be quite ‘popular’ there, Miss Reed,” he said coolly.

A jolt of shock hit Verena like a lightning strike, reverberating through her entire being.

Lucas intended to send her to Cliffton in Ironland!

Had he lost his mind?

That place, that lawless, brutal city… If she ended up there, she would only suffer terribly.

This couldn’t be real!

How could Lucas do this to her?

Verena’s knees buckled, and she crumpled to the floor, overwhelmed by the weight of it all.

When she finally snapped back to reality, she scrambled to beg for mercy. “No! Lucas, I messed up—I see that now. I swear I’ll never do it again! Please, give me a chance. I won’t chase after you or lay a finger on Ms. Wright again! Just forgive me this time! I’ll vanish from your life completely, I promise!”

Tears poured down her face as she pleaded, her voice cracking with desperation. Only now did the full force of fear grip her heart. She had never imagined Lucas would be so merciless toward her.

How could he be this cruel?

They had known each other for years and had been in a relationship before.

And yet, he could still treat her like this.

At that moment, Verena finally glimpsed the unyielding, ruthless nature that defined Lucas.

His cruelty cut deeper than she had ever thought possible.

“Lucas, I swear I understand my mistake now… Please, just show me mercy this once; I’m begging you!” Verena said, tears streaming down her face without restraint.

It had likely never crossed her mind that the torment awaiting her would surpass the suffering Kylee had endured.

Verena knew Kylee had schemed to expose Belinda to the blood of an HIV-positive patient, so Lucas had ensured Kylee would suffer the same fate.

But why did her downfall have to be so devastating?

This was because, in Lucas’s mind, Verena’s transgressions were far more unforgivable.

Kylee’s act of vengeance against Belinda had been ruthless, yet her rage had stemmed from a belief that Belinda had abducted her, taken compromising photos, and even orchestrated her assault.
