Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Lucas Morgan’s Confession 9
"Don’t overthink it, don’t mind it, just like before." Lucas reached out, instinctively wanting to touch Chloe Grant’s head, but she reflexively avoided it...
Lucas looked at his empty palm, a bit stunned, clearly embarrassed.
Chloe turned her head, smiled slightly, "I’m wearing a wig, it’s hard to fix if it gets messed up. Um... I should go, or I’ll be late."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chloe pushed the car door open, wanting to get out, but because she was still buckled up, she ended up pressed against the seat.
Chloe glanced at Lucas, gave an awkward smile, hastily unbuckled the seatbelt, finally got out of the car, closed the door, and hurriedly walked towards the school.
Lucas turned his head, watching her rushed back as she entered the school, not looking away until she was out of sight.
He couldn’t help but raise his right hand, looking at the empty palm, the hollow feeling in his heart corroding him, making it ache intensely.
Finally, Lucas couldn’t help but cover his chest with his hand, leaning against the seat back.
Bitterly smiling, "Is it karma? Making me feel the pain you once did."
What goes around comes around, who can escape the heavens’ retribution?
...
Due to time constraints, Chloe Grant went straight to the classroom.
However, before the teacher arrived, Sophia Fraser suddenly came in and forcefully dragged Chloe away.
Awkwardly, as Sophia dragged Chloe out of the teaching building, they ran into the teacher who was approaching.
"You all..."
Before the teacher could speak, Sophia forcibly dragged Chloe outside.
It was not until they reached the school gate that Sophia stopped, pointed at Chloe, and said, "You call your Uncle Morgan right now and tell him to come pick you up. Just say... say you got hit by a car!"
"What are you talking about?" Chloe looked at Sophia, puzzled.
Sophia responded with an even more puzzled look, impatiently saying, "Just this one sentence, can’t you remember it?"
She repeated it again, "I want you to call Matthew Morgan and tell him to come. If he asks what happened, just say you got hit by a car and it needs urgent attention. If he won’t come, tell him it’s very serious, just make sure he comes!"
Sophia was very agitated, but Chloe truly didn’t understand.
"I don’t know what you want to do. If you want to see Uncle Morgan, just contact him yourself. I’m going to class."
Chloe was about to turn around and leave, but Sophia quickly grabbed her.
"Chloe, we’ve known each other for so long, I’ve treated you to so many meals, and solved so many troubles for you. Now, you won’t even help me with this little thing?" Sophia said angrily, "You’re just an ungrateful wretch, aren’t you?"
"I..."
"What do you mean you can’t make a call and tell a few lies? You think you’re so high and mighty? Think about it yourself, in the past year or more as dorm mates, how many messes have I helped clean up for you all?
When have I not paid for our meals?"
"That’s a different matter, okay?" Chloe couldn’t understand, "First of all, if you want to contact my Uncle, you could call him directly, or go to his company to find him. Instead of dragging me to call him and lying about an accident."
What nonsense is this?
"In the end, you just don’t want to help me, right?" Sophia said with a cold face.
Due to Sophia’s agitation, her voice was loud, causing people passing by the school gate to look over.
Some peers recognized Sophia and started pointing fingers.
