Chapter 2

Everyone cheered at Elena's statement. Although everyone had expected the girl's answer, they still cheered when they heard it in person. Some girls who heard it also whispered to each other in envy. 

"If I were him, I would accept it without hesitation." 

"With your ugly face, Mike won't even want to look at you." 

In the midst of the excitement, Lucas felt a wave of anger fill his heart. His hands were tightly clenched. 

He went forward but only took a step when Adam grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"

Lucas waved her hand, making Adam' grip loosen. "Let go!" 

He came forward and pulled on Elena's hand, which made her slip out of his embrace. 

"Let go!" Lucas shouted to Elena. 

Mike who saw Lucas pulling Elena's hand, immediately acted. He immediately pulled Lucas's hand away. "What the hell are you doing?" 

The people who saw that were confused. Lucas was known as an outstanding student. Even he was able to study here because of a full scholarship. What made him do that? "What did he do?" 

"If he likes Elena, that doesn't mean he can act like that, right?" One person started to sneer. 

"Elena..." Lucas came forward again and held Elena's hand, but Mike quickly brushed it away, causing Lucas's touch to slip away. 

"Don't touch me?" Elena rubbed her wrists as if disgusted by Lucas's touch. 

Mike pulled Lucas's shirt by the collar, making him stand on his tiptoes. "Scum like you dare to touch my girlfriend?" 

Everyone in the place stared at Lucas with a contemptuous look. Many had had Lucas's help, but now they openly insulted him. "His attitude does not follow his achievements."

"Don't forget, he's just the son of a poor family in the suburbs." 

"Right, maybe his parents forgot to teach him manners." 

Lucas's expression hardened. They could all insult him, but not his parents. 

"Shut up!" Lucas shouted. He looked at Mike fearlessly. "You can't have a relationship with Elena!" 

Mike gave Lucas a scornful look. To him, that sentence sounded very funny. 

Lucas's gaze turned to Elena. "You can't accept it. "Have you forgotten? I've been your girlfriend for the past three months." 

Everyone's laughter just broke out. Elena's lover?

"Lucas, come on, it's noon, get up!" one of the guys shouted. 

"Someone bring some water to revive her!" 

Mike released his grip on Lucas's collar and slammed into him. Lucas's body hit the ground hard. 

"Watch your mouth!" Elena screamed. 

"Why? You don't admit it?" Lucas stared at Elena fixedly. Disappointment filled his heart. 

"Admit? Admit what?" Elena asked back in an elevated tone. 

"Of course we're related?" 

Elena became so angry that her face turned red. "What are you saying? Since when have we had a relationship?" 

"Of course, since three months ago, did you forget?" 

Elena's expression changed, and the woman smiled sarcastically. "You call that a relationship? Lucas, come to your senses!" 

"What do you mean?" 

"I deliberately approached you to complete my assignments. It's nothing more than that. If you consider this relationship more than friendship, it's your fault!"

 Elena turned to leave Lucas, but Lucas grabbed her hand, not letting her go. 

Elena slapped Lucas hard across the face. 

"Rub salt into the wound." People commented. 

"Poor guy." 

"Elena understands opportunity." 

"Did you hear that?" Mike scoffed. "No woman will ever want to be with you. Garbage is still garbage." 

"Elena, you can't do that to me! What about our promise to succeed together?" 

"Promise?" Elena grinned. "It seems like it's just your wishful thinking." 

"Elena..." Lucas moved towards Elena, who had moved away from him, but Mike blocked him. Lucas, already overcome with emotion, hit Mike hard in the face. 

"Asshole!" Mike shouted. He held his cheek, which was sore and bruised. 

 Mike's friends, who had been standing behind Mike, came forward and attacked Lucas. 

One of the tallest guys lunged at Lucas and knocked him down. Not only that, they also kicked Lucas. 

"Asshole!" Lucas cursed. He got up despite the difficulty and ran. He dodged every punch and managed to get in front of Mike. 

"Feel this!"  Before the punch hit Mike's face, someone pulled Lucas's arm. It turned out to be Adam. 

"Stop it!" Adam yelled. He also held Lucas back from beating Mike. "You'll get in trouble!" 

"Let go of me!" Lucas tried to break free.

Seeing that Lucas was about to walk away, Mike provoked him again. "Go ahead, you little shit!" 

"That's it, let it go!" Adam continued to pull Lucas's hand and away from the crowd.

 They were far enough away from the crowd. Lucas stomped his hand and released Adam' grip. He rubbed his face roughly. 

Adam spoke. "Calm down...control your emotions." 

Lucas snorted. "Calm down? How can I calm down?" 

Ryan asked curiously. "Is Elena your girlfriend?" 

"You think?" 

Ryan did not answer. He knew that Lucas wouldn't lie about something like this. Lucas turned around and left the two of them. 

"Where are you going?" asked Adam. 

"Don't follow me," Lucas said. He left with chaotic steps. 

A wave of anger swept over him. He continued to walk outside his campus. This was the road to his workplace. Although he still had classes, Lucas didn't want to return to campus. He didn't want to see Mike and Elena for now. 

A black sedan stopped right in front of Lucas. A thirty-year-old young man got out of the car. His clothes were luxurious, looking like someone who was high class. 

"Young Master." The man greeted Lucas in a friendly manner. 

Lucas only glanced at him. The words sounded like mockery in his ears. 

"Young Master, I'm Chris." 

Lucas ignored him and turned around. This sounded like a scam to him. How could a rich man call a poor young man like Young Master? 

"I don't know you. Stop bothering me." 

Chris didn't give up. He chased after Lucas. "Young Master, wait." Chris stopped in front of Lucas. 

Lucas finally stopped his steps. He looked at Chris sharply. Really, the young man in front of him looked like a person with a rich background, but Chris continued to chase him as if Chris was the one who needed him. 

"You know, I already have many problems, don't add more problems for me. "If you want to cheat, you've got the wrong target." 

"This isn't a scam." 

Chris pointed at the luxury car with both hands. "But my Master wants to see you."

Lucas smiled sarcastically. He couldn't be positive thinking about what Chris was doing. "If this isn't a scam, it must be a kidnapping." 

"Young Master, but sorry, this place is unsuitable for kidnapping." Chris pointed at the several CCTVs around the place. "Why won't you open the door and meet my master?" 

Lucas sighed softly. Chris was very stubborn. "Alright. After this, don't force me to do something I don't want."

Lucas opened the car door and lowered his body. He saw someone who looked so much like him sitting casually while looking at him. "If you're curious why we have the same face, come with me."
