Chapter 76 Just as Lucas stepped into the bustling hall, he seemed to snap out of his daze.
"Let go of me! I'm not drunk. I can still drink," Lucas insisted, shaking off the two people supporting him. Chloe approached him. "Can you walk? If you can, then walk on your own. I'll take you home." Lucas squinted at Chloe with bleary eyes for a moment before suddenly stepping forward and pulling her into a tight embrace. His voice broke with emotion.
"Chloe-bear, I've missed you so much!" Chloe was taken aback. Her body went rigid, her back stiff. It wasn't the sudden hug that startled her, but the way he called her "Chloe-bear." He hadn't addressed her like that in years.
A pang of unexpected sadness surged through her. Lucas clung to her and started to sob like a child, his shoulders trembling.

"Lucas, look at me. I'm Chloe, not Linda," she said, patting his back.
"Chloe-bear, you can't leave me. Everyone else can look down on me, but not you. You can't despise me. I'm like this because of you. It's all because of you. How could you be so heartless?" Chloe was bewildered but sensed there was more to his words. Maybe she could uncover why Linda had driven a wedge between them.
"There, there. I won't leave you," Chloe comforted him softly. "Tell me, what happened? Why are you saying these things?" Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall...
Connor and his entourage had just exited the elevator and stopped in their tracks. With Connor in the lead, no one dared move. Following Connor's gaze, they saw a man and woman locked in an embrace in the hall.
Devon joked, "Looks like this place has really gone downhill. Public displays of affection everywhere." Matt chimed in, "That doesn't look like one of the usual girls here. More a couple making up after a spat, using a bit of liquid courage "That girl's in for it. A man only needs a few drinks to play with your heart," someone else quipped.
As the group laughed, Devon suddenly noticed something. "Wait, isn't that girl... Connor's girlfriend?" Everyone seemed to remember something. "Yeah, the journalist." At Devon's birthday party a few days ago, Connor had introduced a girl as his girlfriend and even made Eve cry her eyes out.
And now, here she was, in another man's arms. Everyone had doubted the sincerity of Connor's
relationship, thinking he was just m using her to push Eve away. But since she was, the only woman Connor had publicly introduced as his girlfriend, her actions felt quite like a slap in his face. All eyes turned to Connor, whose expression was dark and stormy.
Devon's sharp eyes caught something else.
