Chapter 682 What Do You Want to Do?
More importantly, on an occasion like today, with the Diaz family present, what did saying this mean? Were you telling the Diaz family that you had always liked Wade and that agreeing to the engagement before was just toying with them?
In the hallway, many onlookers discreetly observed the expressions of the Diaz family members, noting their evident displeasure.
Despite not holding affection for Lucia, Hubert found himself garnering sympathy from outsiders at that moment.
Initially intending to avoid conflict, Hubert felt that letting the situation pass would appear as if he feared the Kyte family.
With this realization, Hubert raised his glass and approached Lucia.
In the midst of greeting numerous guests, Lucia was experiencing one of the most glorious moments of her life.
Despite any murmurs, she had successfully secured a place within the Allen family, elevating her status.
"Lucia is quite adept at scheming, isn't she?" This marked the first time Hubert engaged in conversation with Lucia post-incident.
Previously, Lucia had avoided him out of fear. Now, in the present circumstance, avoidance was no longer an option.
Lucia felt a sense of dread as she faced him. "Mr. Diaz, I deeply regret the previous situation. I was under pressure from my father at that time."
"So, were all your previous words to me lies?" Hubert scoffed, recalling Lucia's earlier declaration of affection towards him and reluctance to rush into a commitment.
Now, it seemed that Blake had coerced her. Lucia seemed unable to speak a truthful word. Lucia forced a smile, aware that only she and Hubert were privy to their shared history. Fortunately, she had left no evidence behind. As long as she refrained from admitting her previous feelings for him, she believed she would be in the clear.
"Mr. Diaz, while we acknowledge your feelings for Lucia, she does not reciprocate. Persisting in pursuing her in this scenario would be futile, wouldn't it?" Lucia's friend interjected. Initially viewing Hubert favorably, they now saw Wade as Lucia's preferred partner, making Hubert's advances seem unwarranted.
"Precisely, Mr. Diaz. If you genuinely care for Lucia, you should offer your blessings," another friend added. Observing the group's responses, as well as Lucia's silence, Hubert emitted a cold laugh, departing without a word.
Seeing him leave, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for speaking up for me."
"Lucia, you are too kind. It is evident that Hubert is the one causing the disruption. Why do you continue to act courteously towards him?" Someone said angrily as if Hubert had offended her.
Lucia smiled and said nothing.
After having a few more drinks with acquaintances, Lucia got up to the restroom. She had indeed drunk quite a bit today.
Standing in front of the restroom mirror, Lucia adjusted her dress. Today was her engagement day, and she had to ensure she looked perfect at all times.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Lucia and grabbed her.
Lucia instinctively screamed, but the person covered her mouth. "Quiet! Do you want to attract attention?"
Hearing this, Lucia immediately closed her mouth, not daring to make any sound.
"Hubert, what do you want to do?" Lucia gritted her teeth, turning to glare at him.
Hubert chuckled, his hand exploring Lucia's waist, showing no intention of letting go.
Lucia's face was both angry and red. "Let go of me!"
"Don't be so upset. It's not as if I haven't touched you before."When he still hoped Lucia would marry him, he respected her. But now that he no longer had that hope, there was no need to be so respectful.
