Yelling won't solve anything."Jared, however, was beyond reason, fueled by a toxic blend of jealousy and rage. "Talk? Do you think talking changes anything? You're just a damn prostitute, Lydia, and everyone knows it!"Lydia's eyes flared with anger. "How dare you say that? After everything we've been through?"Jared sneered, "Oh, we've been through a lot, haven't we? Your little secrets, your lies. I won't stand for it anymore."The room seemed to shrink as their argument intensified. Lydia, unable to contain her frustration, slapped Jared across the face.

I told them he healed fast."Lucas tried to turn around like someone who was truly sleeping as he did this, Sheila rushed to his side and thereby caused him to wake up. "Lucas!" Sheila shouted in excitement. She was glad to see him up. Without caring about anything, She hugged him on the bed but Lucas failed to reciprocate. He was just looking like a child whose parents had abandoned him."I have missed you, Lucas. "In fact, when I heard you were in a hospital. I thought you would die. I was so scared for you. But now, I can rest assured

The betrayal by the Cooper family, who had hired a killer to take Lucas out, hung in the air like a thick fog of resentment.Lucas, nursing the wounds from the attempt on his life, clenched his fists. "They won't get away with this. Not after what they've done."Fabian, a loyal friend with a steely determination, nodded in agreement. "We need to expose them for who they are. No more hiding in the shadows."Lucas brought out his phone and showed the video of how Blade was punished.

Bravo, Lydia and Jared, bravo."Lydia and Jared, their faces a mix of confusion and disbelief, scanned the room, trying to pinpoint the source of the voice.The mysterious observer continued, "You thought your little drama was confined to the two of you, but I've been enjoying the show from behind the scenes."Jared, his anger now redirected, demanded, "Who the hell are you?
