Chapter 51

Andrew had initially dismissed Natasha’s warning as sarcasm, but now, as he scanned the room, he realized that not only had Lucas disappeared, but so had Olivia.

Her absence, however, hadn’t drawn nearly as much attention.

Andrew’s veins bulged on his forehead. ‘What the hell has that damn girl gotten herself into this time?‘ he cursed inwardly.

Among the guests, some well–informed insiders who knew about the Clark and Wright families‘ plans quickly noticed Lucas was missing. They immediately started gossiping.

“The whole stage is set up, and now it looks like the groom just ditched?” someone whispered.

Those who had no idea what was going on looked confused. “Didn’t Mr. Clark say he had some good news to announce? Why isn’t he saying anything now?”

The crowd began to stir restlessly.

A bunch of trust fund kids huddled together and whispered, “I heard Lucas bailed on the last proposal, too. Is he pulling the same stunt again?”

A person said, “No way, I thought those two were pretty solid. He didn’t look unwilling at all earlier, and he even handed Natasha a cupcake.”

Another person said, “I heard they’re breaking up.”

A third asked, “Wait, for real? What’s the deal?”

Someone else said, “Natasha’s quite petty. She’s always picking fights with Lucas over Olivia, thinking the two of them have something going on.”

Someone looked uncertain. “But those two do seem pretty close. I’ve seen Lucas get into arguments with Natasha more than once just to defend Olivia.

“There was even a time he pushed Natasha aside to protect Olivia from danger.”

A person asked, “Seriously? Anyone would lose it if they were in her shoes.”

The person who called Natasha petty earlier jumped in, “Stop talking nonsense! Olivia and Lucas would never do something like that.

“Lucas only calls Natasha out because she keeps picking on Olivia. He just can’t stand seeing her bully Olivia.

“You guys have no idea how awful Natasha is. Olivia’s mom saved Natasha’s life, and she doesn’t even show a bit of gratitude.”

Someone retorted, “But Olivia’s life in the Clark family has always been way better than

Natasha’s.

“Back in high school, most people didn’t even know Natasha was from the Clark family. They used to make fun of her for being poor.”

A person said, “She was just faking it. She loves acting all pitiful. Just look at the size of today’s party. If that’s not pampering her, I don’t know what is.”
