Chapter 1421:

“Damn it, I deserve to die. I actually believed Nathaniel’s lies and doubted your love. I’m such a fool…”

Lucius scolded himself continuously, lamenting his past mistakes.

Harlee watched, exchanging glances with Rhys. They both registered the surprise in each other’s eyes. Clearly, they had not anticipated the complex past involving Nathaniel, Lucius, and Nicola—a classic drama of friends torn apart by love, turning into foes. Frankly, it was quite theatrical.

Struggling to find the right words, Harlee fell silent, feeling that Nicola’s tactics were indeed somewhat unethical. If Nicola had no feelings for Lucius, she could have simply stated it outright. Why stage such an elaborate scene involving another man and a fake accident? Such actions would only complicate matters unnecessarily.
