After that passionate kiss, the projector, which Thomas had sent someone to urgently shut off but failed, suddenly went dark on its own.

The live stream was over.

But everything that was meant to be seen had already been seen.

Andrew was so furious he could cough up blood.

‘This whole engagement party is an absolute joke!‘ he thought.

He didn’t think there was anything real going on between them. After all, they all knew about Olivia’s condition.

It was the Clark family who had forced Lucas to pretend to be Roderick Watson and cooperate with her treatment in the first place.

Andrew thought, ‘Olivia must’ve been having one of her episodes just now. That’s the only reason this whole scene happened.

“The real kicker is, why did it have to happen today of all days? Why did it have to be caught on a live stream for the whole world to see?‘

With everyone watching, there was no way they could talk their way out of it.

Of course, they could just tell the truth about Olivia’s condition.

But the whole reason they’d gone to such lengths to cover it up and even made Natasha suffer for it was to keep her illness from ruining her dance career.

The Clark family wanted to spare Olivia from having to deal with people’s judgment on top of the pain of losing her boyfriend.

The most important thing was, now everyone had seen them kissing and hugging.

Even if they tried to explain it away, it wouldn’t make any sense.

If Natasha ends up marrying Lucas after all this, what would people think of her?‘ Andrew couldn’t help but worry.

Andrew couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment. Treating her is one thing. Hugging is fine. But was a kiss really necessary?‘ he thought.

He even started to suspect that Lucas was deliberately making a move on Olivia.

Thomas’s feelings were just as complicated. Watching the fake couple acting all sweet and loving on screen, he couldn’t help but think of Natasha.

They used to say Natasha was just jealous and petty, but he wondered if she had to watch things like this take place over and over again.

Now that everything was exposed in front of everyone, and he could hear people gossiping, he finally realized just how wrong it all was.
