Chloe casually asked, "Didn't you hear they've already tied the knot?" Her eyes locked onto Lucas as she spoke.

Lucas had been staring at the floor, avoiding Chloe's gaze. But when he heard her voice over the phone, he snapped his head up. With Chloe's phone on speaker, everyone around could clearly hear what was being said.

Who knew he was living a double life, saying one thing to your face and doing another behind your back..."

Tara was livid: "That bastard, just wait until I get my hands on both of them..." With that, Tara slammed down the phone.
