Chapter 21 - He's My Fiancé

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lucy fell onto the ground on her side.

Fair and slender, her beautiful long legs were very eye-catching.

Unfortunately, Heller remained as indifferent as ever. He showed not even the slightest inclination to care for her.

A stunned Lucy sat on the ground and lightly stroked the handprint on her cheek. Even after a long while, she didn’t regain her senses.

Then, Lucy burst into a fit of giggles like a madman. Her laughter was brazen and unrestrained, and she laughed so badly that she was shaking all over!

“Hehehe!”

“Heller, y-you actually called me names and even hit me?”

“As expected, after the last five years, you’re no longer the mild and polite gentleman you were!”

.

“Back when we were dating, you never spoke sternly to me and spoiled me in every way possible! No matter how unreasonable and willful I was, you never raised a finger against me!”

“But now, not only did you insult me, but you even hit me!”

Lucy got up and leaned into Heller’s face again. With an odd smile on her face, she taunted, “Come on! Why don’t you hit me again? The more you hit me, the happier I’ll be!”

“You’re right, I’m indeed cheap!”

“Five years ago, I was the one who caused the annihilation of your family! I’m also the one who made life a living hell for Ruby and that wretched little girl the last five years!”

“Mr. Nicholson, go ahead and kill me if you have the guts to!”

Heller’s eyes narrowed. He was so furious that blue veins were starting to stand out on his temples.

“Heh!”

Lucy let out a scoff of laughter. She held up an exquisite finger and slowly drew the tip across Heller’s cheek as she said, “Even though it’s been five years, you still can’t forget me, right? You still hold me dearly in your heart, right?”

“No matter what I’ve done, you’re ultimately still reluctant to kill me, right?”

“Your hatred for me now is as deep as your love for me once upon a time!”

“But the more you hate me, the more you won’t be able to forget me!”

“Even if you kill me right now, you’ll never forget me for the rest of your life! I will forever be etched deeply in your mind!”

“Besides,” Lucy bit her lower lip lightly. With a misty look in her eyes, she exhaled softly and said, “Even though you called me a bitch, I’m so beautiful, radiant, and dazzling. Mr. Nicholson, may I ask, can you really bear to kill me?”

For Lucy, the situation was already so bad that to make it worse made no real difference.

She spoke very straightforwardly. Since he had called her a bitch, then she would admit that she was one! Shameless people were invincible! What could he do about her anyway?

Heller grabbed Lucy’s throat with one hand and asked coldly, “Are you sure I can’t bear to kill you?”

Lucy blinked and said confidently, “Even if you kill me, is there any point?”

“The Nicholsons are gone! It’s I, Lucy, who has seized all the assets under the Nicholsons’ name now!”

“When Sebastian dies, the Zoffs’ will also become mine!”

“I know you’ve always been very curious about why I killed your whole family five years ago. The reason is actually very simple.”

“The entire L.A. thinks I’m just a pretty face, but I want everyone to know that even though I, Lucy, am indeed beautiful, I’m no man’s appendage! I am sufficiently capable!”

Lucy said emphatically, “I will be the queen of L.A.! I will have all the men prostrate at my feet!”

“Since ancient times, winners have always taken all!”

“Ruby is no match for me. Heller, even if you’re back, the same also holds true for you!”

“After the last five years, I’ve already successfully taken control of all the companies under the Nicholsons! Everyone in all the companies is now my trusted subordinate!”

“You won’t be able to take them back!”

At this point, Lucy paused for a moment. Then, she giggled and said, “Heller, I know you killed Jack, but surely you’re not that naive to think that a good-for-nothing like him is my lover, right?”

“He’s not worthy of me! And it isn’t just him! Sebastian included, the entire Zoff clan is just my pawn!”

“Of course, Ruby isn’t worthy of you, either!”

“Heller, only I’m worthy of you!”

“Only I, the future queen of L.A., am worthy of you, Heller!”

Lucy looked straight at Heller and said with a smile, “I killed your whole family just so I can become truly worthy of you! See, Mr. Nicholson, I’ve always been deeply in love with you! Right?”

A cold glint flashed in Heller’s eyes as he gazed at the crazy woman in front of him.

At this point, more than a dozen men in black suddenly rushed into the room and pointed their guns at Heller!

Their leader was a tall and slender young man in a suit.

Lucy blinked and said coquettishly, “Oh, you’ve lost your chance, Mr. Nicholson!”

“Do you know why I especially wore this gown today and said so many half-truths to you?”

“It’s because I was waiting for someone!”

“And now, my savior is here!”

“Mr. Nicholson, are you very angry?”

Heller suddenly let go of her.

His grasp left a reddish handprint on Lucy’s fair neck, which exuded an unusual allure.

Lucy reached out and used her slender fingers to gently rub her neck. With a smile, she said, “You’ve become so rough after a separation of five years, Mr. Nicholson! But the more you treat me like this, the more I like you!”

Heller gritted his teeth and spat, “You bitch!”

Lucy smiled slightly and replied, “But it’s precisely this bitch here who has once again successfully tricked you, Mr. Nicholson.”

As she spoke, Lucy pointed to the young man who had just entered the room and asked, “Do you remember him, Mr. Nicholson?”

“I told you just now that a good-for-nothing like Jack isn’t worthy of me, right?”

“But he’s different!”

“He’s my fiancé, Mr. Nicholson! My company will be officially listed in the stock exchange market tomorrow!”

“Tomorrow night, I will hold a dinner in celebration and also officially announce my engagement with my fiancé!”

“Are you angry?”

The young man gave the gold wire-rimmed glasses on his nose a small push. Then, he walked over quickly to Heller, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said with a smile, “I’ve heard a lot about you, Heller! Let me introduce myself. I’m Hugh Wilson, Lucy’s fiancé!”

The Wilsons! They were one of the Seven Great Clans of Los Angeles!

Hugh, the Wilsons’ eldest son, was the first-in-line heir to the Wilsons!

However, Heller didn’t even glance at him. He ignored him completely.

Hugh chuckled lightly and said, “Come on, let’s shake hands and get to know each other. You’d best not be rude when I’m being so courteous.”

Heller replied indifferently, “Have you ever seen anyone going to a funeral home to shake hands with the dead?”

The smile on Hugh’s face quickly faded and he said coldly, “The dead? How arrogant of you!”

Lucy said with great interest, “Here’s a little reminder, Mr. Nicholson. We have ten guns here while you only have one!”

He had only just said that when with the exception of Heller, red light spots suddenly appeared on the center of everyone’s foreheads!

Lucy and Hugh, in particular, had at least four or five light spots on them!

These were infrared red laser beams!

Lucy’s expression changed drastically.

A furious Hugh exclaimed sharply, “Snipers?!”
