Light 349

    She had known Lucas for so long, and yet she was nothing to him.


    It was clearly Aurora, this outsider, who came between them.


    So, how could she have the nerve to stand there acting <b>so </b>self–righteous?


    <b>“</b><b>I </b>just wanted to <b>see </b>what kind of spell <b>you’ve </b>put on Lukey<b>,</b>” Wendy said coldly.


    Aurora raised a brow, finding thement more amusing than offensive. “Oh? So now that <b>Lucas </b>isn’t home<b>, </b>you’re finally done pretending, is that it?”


    Wendy’s jaw clenched at Aurora’s nonchnce<b>. </b>Her heart was already brimming with bitterness and fury.


    “You bitch! Why <b>does </b>he care about you <b>so </b>much? What do you have that I don’t?”


    Aurora crossed her arms, her tonenguid, as if Wendy’s rage barely registered.


    “Simple. <b>I’m </b>his wife. You’re <b>just </b>the <b>so</b><b>–</b>called ‘childhood friend‘ he’s mentioned in passing. There’s nothing between you, and there never will be.”


    Then she gave Wendy <b>a </b><b>slow</b>, disdainful once–over.


    “As for you…” Her <b>voice </b><b>was </b>calm<b>, </b>but biting<b>. </b>


    “You might want to look in the mirror sometime. At least I don’t go around screaming insults like some unhinged brat. That alone makes me ssier than <b>you’ll </b>


    ever be<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    The words hit their mark.


    Wendy’s entire body trembled with rage.


    “It’s all because of you!” she shouted.


    <b>“</b>If it <b>weren’t </b>for you<b>, </b>Lukey would’ve chosen me! You’re the homewrecker<b>–</b>you destroyed everything we had!”


    Her <b>fists </b>clenched tightly at her sides<b>. </b>


    If it <b>weren’t </b>for the wrong timing, if she thought she could get away with it, she would’ve already carved up Aurora’s pretty <b>face </b>out of <b>spite</b><b>. </b>


    Every time she looked at that perfect face<b>, </b><b>jealousy </b>ate away at her.


    She couldn’t help but feel small, in<b>, </b>and overlooked.


    She had inherited unfortunate features from her family<b>, </b>nothing like Aurora’s wless <b>beauty</b>.


    And that made <b>her </b>crave <b>Lucas</b><b>‘ </b><b>affection </b>even more<b>. </b>


    <b>Even </b>so, deep <b>down</b>, Wendy still believed she <b>was </b>the one truly meant for him.


    <b>Not </b>that bitch.


    After <b>all</b>, she <b>was </b>the <b>one </b>who had <b>grown </b>up by <b>Lucas</b>‘ side<b>–</b>not Aurora<b>, </b>the <b>outsider </b>who had suddenly <b>appeared </b>and inserted <b>herself </b><b>into </b>his <b>life</b><b>. </b>


    And Wendy wanted Aurora <b>to </b>understand that<b>. </b>


    <b>“</b><b>You’ll </b><b>always </b>be the third party<b>. </b><b>I’ve </b><b>been </b>by his side for <b>years</b><b>. </b><b>You </b><b>don’t </b><b>deserve </b>him<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Her fists <b>were </b>clenched tight<b>, </b><b>her </b>entire frame brimming <b>with </b>outrage<b>. </b>


    <b>Aurora </b><b>couldn’t </b><b>help </b><b>but </b><bugh</b><b>. </b>


    She <b>hadn’t </b>realized before <b>just </b>how much Wendy resembled <b>a </b>circus clown.


    “So what exactly are <b>you </b>trying <b>to </b>achieve bying here and saying <b>all </b>this<b>?</b><b>” </b>she asked, her <b>voice </b><b>calm</b><b>, </b>amused <b>even</b>.


    Wendy let out a bitter chuckle<b>. </b>


    “I’m warning you that <b>if </b>you want to keep <b>your </b>ce at <b>Walton </b>Corporation<b>, </b><b>then </b><b>stay </b>away from Lukey. Otherwise, <b>what’s </bing your way <b>won’t </b>be as simple as what you’ve <b>faced </b>so far.”


    “Threats now<b>?</b><b>” </b>Aurora raised a brow<b>, </b><b>her </b>tone <b>sharper</b>. “<b>What </b>exactly are you implying?<b>” </b>


    “Implying?<b>” </b>Wendy sneered, <b>stepping </b>in closer<b>. </b><b>“</b>You already know what I mean,”


    She leaned forward, her voice <b>low</b><b>, </b>venomous. <b>“</b>Everything that’s happened <b>to </b>youtely–isn’t that enough of a lesson?<b>” </b>


    The <b>pieces </b>clicked in Aurora’s mind.


    So <b>that </b>was it.


    That sudden <b>price </b>hike <b>from </b>John hadn’t been random at all.


    How had she missed it?


    <b>“</b><b>You’re </b>working with LC Group?” Aurora’s eyes narrowed, a chill slipping into her gaze even she hadn’t noticed.


    Wendy onlyughed, clearly pleased with herself.


    “I don’t know what you’re talking about. But <b>if </b>you keep clinging to Lukey<b>, </b><b>I </b>can promise <b>you </b>things are only going to get <b>worse</b>.


    “This little streak of good luck you’ve been enjoying? It won’t <bst</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Her voice was dripping with smugness now.


    “You’ll see just how hard <b>it </b>can get for someone like you.<b>” </b>
