Chapter 903
"This is a good idea. I'll be waiting to be your bridesmaid. I've been waiting for this day for so long," Laura said sincerely, happy for her.
nbsp;
Cassie was taken aback.
nbsp;
Yes, she had been married, but she had never had a wedding.
nbsp;
Thinking about it, she felt quite miserable.
nbsp;
"Alright, get ready to be my bridesmaid," nbsp;Cassie said.
nbsp;
The car stopped in front of David, and Cassie got out.
nbsp;
"I heard you won." David smiled as he approached, naturally taking Cassie's hand.
nbsp;
"Yes, thanks to the evidence you gave me." Cassie looked up at him. nbsp;"Shall I cook dinner to celebrate tonight?"
nbsp;
"Celebration is a must." David lifted her hand and took out a diamond ring from his pocket, placing it on her finger. nbsp;"But such beautiful fingers are meant for wearing diamond rings. Let me handle the cooking."
nbsp;
Cassie stared at the large diamond ring on her middle finger, stunned. nbsp;"What is this...?"
nbsp;
"Will you?" David looked at her seriously nbsp;and asked. nbsp;"This time, I don't want an engagement. Let's get married directly, shall we?"
nbsp;
Cassie felt dizzy. Although she had mentioned marriage to Laura in the car earlier, she hadn't expected him to propose so quickly.
nbsp;
"I'm sorry. I seem to have scared you." David smiled helplessly. nbsp;"I'm just afraid you'll run away again."
nbsp;
"I won't." Cassie lowered her hand and smiled. nbsp;"Alright, I agree."
nbsp;
"Really?" David was overjoyed, his elegant and handsome face beaming with a joyful smile.
nbsp;
"Of course." Cassie paused, hesitating before saying, "But I hope we can keep it private for now. You know, Joseph is very powerful and extremely selfish. I'm worried that if he finds out we're together, he might try to stop us. Let's wait until after the wedding to announce it."
nbsp;
"I do think so. It would be best to wait until we have children to make it public," David said mischievously.
nbsp;
Cassie was taken aback, suddenly thinking of Oliver and Sophia.
nbsp;
"Don't misunderstand." David guessed what she was thinking. nbsp;"I will treat Oliver and Sophia as my own. I just like children. But if you don't want to, that's fine."
nbsp;
"No, when nbsp;we get married in the future, I will definitely have children nbsp;with you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to you." Cassie smiled. She wasn't that selfish.
nbsp;
"Cassie, thank you. I still wanna say it's up to you. I'll love any child you have." David smiled, holding her hand. nbsp;"Let's go. Cook at my place tonight. I'm worried Joseph might come over."
nbsp;
"Well, I nbsp;plan to move to my dad's place for now. That way, I can spend time with Oliver every day," nbsp;Cassie said.
nbsp;
She had previously stayed here purely to seduce Joseph. Now that she no longer had that intention, there was no need to stay here.
nbsp;
Moreover, she felt quite guilty for neglecting Oliver during this time.
nbsp;
"Alright, I'll help you move tomorrow," nbsp;he then remarked.
nbsp;
David held her hand as they got into the car.
nbsp;
Late at night, at the club, when Lucas finally found Joseph, he was already completely drunk, still holding a bottle of strong liquor and pouring it into his mouth.
nbsp;
"Stop drinking. Your stomach can't take it." Lucas took the bottle away.
nbsp;
"Give it to me." Joseph's drunken eyes were slightly red. He pounded his chest forcefully, his voice hoarse and deep. nbsp;"Only when my stomach hurts, my heart won't hurt so much. I was really heartless. How could I... hurt Cassie like that."
nbsp;
Lucas's eyes showed deep complexity. In all the time he had known Joseph, it was the first time he had seen Joseph cry.
nbsp;
He really cried.
nbsp;
"Don't say that." Lucas sat next to him, lighting a cigarette. "No one expected that Spencer was framed."
nbsp;
"Lucas, do you think... all of this was Megan's doing?" Joseph looked at Lucas in confusion. "I don't want to suspect her, but if it weren't for her saying she wanted Spencer's finger, I wouldn't have cut it off. If it weren't for Nathan pushing me to go to court, I wouldn't have appeared today. All of this has made it impossible for Cassie and me to reconcile."
nbsp;
"I don't know either. If it was her, then Megan is hiding something terrifying. For someone to use even death as a design, not many people can do that. But we haven't found any clues about those two people until now. Megan and Nathan shouldn't have that kind of ability," nbsp;Lucas answered.
nbsp;
Lucas took a deep drag on his cigarette. He had grown up with Megan nbsp;as well, and in his heart, Megan was like a sister—pure, clean, and kind.
nbsp;
But everything that had happened recently made him start to doubt. Perhaps Megan had changed.
nbsp;
"But if it wasn't her, who would want to use Spencer to create conflict between Cassie and me? Who benefits from our breakup?" Joseph tugged at his lips. He didn't want to suspect her either, but he had to admit that Megan might have orchestrated this.
nbsp;
Even if it wasn't Megan, after the incident, Megan and her brother had fanned the flames with a purpose, causing more intense conflict between Joseph and Cassie.
nbsp;
Unfortunately, at that time, Joseph was completely sympathetic to Megan's plight and wasn't rational enough to think through the matter.
nbsp;
"Those involved are confused, while bystanders see clearly." Joseph smiled bitterly. "I didn't understand why Eric wanted to detain Michael before. Maybe Eric and the others saw things more clearly than we did."
nbsp;
"Yes, if Michael were around, with his temper, Spencer might not have survived." Lucas felt increasingly chilled as he considered this.
nbsp;
It was as if there was a force manipulating things behind the scenes. The three of them, usually so strategic in the business world, had all lost their cool because of Megan. It was truly terrifying to think about.
nbsp;
"Lucas, from now on... stay away from Megan." Joseph felt a chill throughout his body. "Whether or not she was involved, I feel she's no longer that simple nbsp;girl we used to know."
nbsp;
"You should be telling yourself that. You're the one most entangled with her." Lucas shook his head. "And Michael, he probably will never believe it."
nbsp;
"Let him be, but... I won't let Michael hurt Cassie anymore," Joseph said with a bitter smile. "But then again, I'm the one who hurt her the most."
nbsp;
"Joseph, let it go. Don't go looking for her." Lucas suddenly felt that he had been quite unfair to Cassie in the past.
nbsp;
Although he hadn't caused her trouble like Michael, he had thought of her as quite malicious in his heart. nbsp;Especially after Cassie became friends with Nina, he disliked Cassie even more, thinking she was just like Nina.
nbsp;
Looking back, it was quite unfair.
nbsp;
"No, I have to beg Cassie for forgiveness," Joseph shouted and grabbed the bottle and drank heavily until his stomach could no longer bear the intense pain. He suddenly rushed to the bathroom and vomited violently, even bringing up blood.
nbsp;
Lucas cursed under his breath and quickly took him to the hospital.
nbsp;
The doctor diagnosed a perforated stomach and said he needed immediate surgery.
