Chapter 2979: Chapter 169: Taking Harrison Lucas Back (Part 1)

The originally enraged Ben Lucas, upon hearing Harrison Lucas’s words, displayed a strange expression on his stern face: "You... saw it."

Ben Lucas never thought that Harrison Lucas would witness such a scene.

Harrison Lucas didn’t miss the fleeting expression of guilt on Ben Lucas’s face. She curled her lips into a bitter smile: "That’s right, I saw everything. I saw you took out the diamond ring. Do you have something to say to me?"

Harrison Lucas cursed herself silently for being foolish.

At this point, she still foolishly entertained the notion that Ben Lucas might have hidden reasons.

Regrettably, logic told her that no hidden reason would justify him proposing to another woman.

Even if there was, it wouldn’t be for her, it would be for the woman in the red dress.

The dark eyes of Ben Lucas flickered with a gloomy light as he suddenly remembered seeing a figure in the restaurant. He subconsciously said: "So, you really appeared tonight... right across the street."

Unfortunately, back then, he thought he had mistaken the person.

Harrison Lucas: "So you discovered me long ago..."

At this moment, Harrison Lucas could no longer deceive herself.

Ben Lucas had noticed her long ago but didn’t come out, instead, he proposed to another woman.

What allowed him to act so recklessly and disregard everything was her foolish loyalty!

Never had Harrison Lucas felt such self-loathing as she did now. She no longer wished to stay.

"Debby, where are you going?" Ben Lucas was contemplating how to explain things to Harrison Lucas, how much to say and how much to withhold.

Should he tell her the whole truth or intentionally hide parts of it? But then he saw Harrison Lucas suddenly pick up her luggage and stand up.

Ben Lucas’s sharp eyes suddenly darkened; he would not allow Harrison Lucas to leave so easily.

The man’s strong hand grabbed Harrison Lucas’s wrist firmly. She tried to pull away, but there was such a disparity in strength, she couldn’t break free.

Harrison Lucas had enough!

"Mr. Lucas, what exactly do you want? Even now, do you still intend for me to be your cover? You’ve come out, you’re here, you’ve gone abroad, escaped the influence of the Lucas family and the Reddington family, you can do whatever you want, you don’t need me anymore!"

No wonder Mr. Lucas quarreled with Madam and Mr. Lucas, no wonder he used her as a reason to leave the military.

He probably liked that woman very much, so much so that he didn’t want the Lucas family and Reddington family to have any opinion on her, using her as a shield for the injuries.

That’s why he didn’t allow her to reveal her identity, didn’t let Mr. Lucas, Madam, or Commander Nelson know she was actually a girl.

Because only in this way, when he returned home with that woman, the Lucas family wouldn’t resist.

At this moment, Harrison Lucas deeply hated herself for thinking so much, yet ironically, she comprehended everything.

"Debby, calm down first..." Ben Lucas held the pained Harrison Lucas in his arms, his sharp gaze inspecting her. Seeing her close her eyes and bite her lip, yet unable to stop the tears from flowing, he knew this little lad was heartbroken.

Ben Lucas initially didn’t guess why Harrison Lucas was upset, but when he heard her say the word ’cover,’ he vaguely caught onto the situation.

Ben Lucas suspected Harrison Lucas must have some misunderstanding about him.

"Debby, calm down. Listen, we need to have a serious talk." The man knew he must talk to Harrison Lucas, otherwise, given her current state, she would find any opportunity to run away.
