Love Her to No End

Chapter 59 Another Sch “Con, let's drink!” With her friends urging her on, Lucille finished half a bottle of wine in one go.

Just as she sat back down, she heard someone ask, “Lucille, given how rare it is for us to gather, why do you seem so distracted? You had better not be ogling at other guys, or we'll snitch on you to Mr. Zack!” Lucille laughed. “Stop messing around. My sister is over there. Hence, I'm just worried that she has too much to drink.” Lucille was inherently cunning. Ever since she was young, she knew how to form alliances, leverage resources, and put up an act. Compared to the cold Michaela, it wasn't difficult for her to make friends with a bunch of young men and ladies from prestigious families.

The fact that she was now Zack’s partner elevated her status further. Consequently, she attracted many who seek to ingratiate themselves with her.

The moment Michaela’s nwas mentioned, someone added at once, “I must say, Lucille, considering how Michaela has treated you, why do you still care about her?” “I think Lucille is being too kind. When it comes to matters of the heart, there's just no forcing it. Regardless of what happens, she shouldn't resort to violence. After all, a girl's features are everything to her. Any girl would be devastated if she were to be disfigured, isn’t that right?” “Don’t say that. Michaela didn’t do it on purpose.” Knitting her brows, Lucille put on an aggrieved expression.

“Stop it. There's no need for you to defend her, for all of us have seen the video. Now that Old Mr. Simmons is dead, the Lingard family’s influence has waned. She has no reason to behave so arrogantly anymore.” “Exactly! When Lucille finally marries into the Xander family, | want to see how she grovels on the ground, asking to reconcile!” “At the end of the day, I'm the one that has betrayed her. That's why I've discussed the matter with Zack. If Michaela doesn’t find happiness, both of us will not stop worrying about her.” Lucille’s spoke with such a sincere tone that seemed to have convinced everyone.

At that moment, the eyes of one of the seated guys, who had not said a word throughout, glistened. With a mischievous smile, he suggested, “Lucille, why don’t | be your brother-in-law!” The man had a perfect shape for a face, long and thick eyelashes, bushy eyebrows that are half-hidden by his fringes, a high nose bridge, and pouty lips.

It was just that the man exuded a naughty vibe. Just as he spoke, he tilted his head at Lucille and curled his lips.

He had a charming smile that was tinged with wickedness at the stime.

As the man’s half-joking suggestion rolled off his tongue, everyone teased him. “Oh my, Liam has fallen for her!” Even Lucille was stunned. Nevertheless, she quickly regained her senses and purred, “Mr. Yale, stop messing around. | remember you having a young sweetheart by your side the last twe went drinking!” “He must be thirsting to try something new,” someone commented suggestively.

Liam Yale was the heir to the Horace Group.

As the Yale family only had Liam when they were older, they naturally spoiled him and would fulfill all of his requests.

Even if he asked for the moon or the stars, his father would get it for him by hook or by crook.

As a result, Liam was among the most salacious among the men from prominent families and was famous for his philandering behavior.

Despite cleaning up his mess all the time, Liam's parents never complained about it at all.

In the beginning, Lucille had designs on Liam.

It wasn’t until Michaela was engaged to Zack that she changed her target. After all, Zack was a significantly better catch than a playboy like Liam.

Furthermore, as long as Lucille had the opportunity to ruin Michaela, she would definitely go all out to do so.

In the face of everyone's laughter, Liam leaned back into the couch and sniggered, “You know men, we like to put on a show. As for those women, they're good for a fling but don’t deserve to be married into the Yale family due to their lowly backgrounds. However, your sister is different!” Liam gave Lucille a thoughtful look before adding in a leisurely tone, “Despite having fallen from grace, the Lingard family is still a prominent family in Quakersville. Given that | have fallen in love with Michaela at first sight, both of us will be happily married, and my galivanting days will be over. Besides, wouldn't | be doing you a favor? “Just think about it, once your sister is married into the Yale family, wouldn't it put you and Mr. Zack’s mind at ease? With my help, wouldn't the Yales and Xanders be considered one family?” Even though Liam was unreliable, his upbringing had taught him to form exceptional insight into interpersonal and business relationships.

At the end of the day, Michaela’s beauty was only one factor that drove the idea.

Since Lucille and Zack’s matter had cto a conclusion, swooping in and resolving the issue with Michaela would be considered as doing the Xander family a favor. Consequently, the Yale family could leverage on the matter to elevate their status further.

However, Lucille hesitated under Liam's intent gaze. “But—" “Lucille, are you worried aboutmistreating your sister?” “No, | don’t mean that!” Lucille put on a conflicted expression. “I was just worried that Michaela’s pride might—" “Don’t worry about that. Leave the pursuit to me.” When Lucille finally relented, Liam regained his smug expression as he crossed his legs confidently.

“Exactly. Don’t forget who Liam is. There's no woman who can resist his charms. If there really is, all he needs is to sleep with her. After all, any woman, regardless of how proud and aloof they are, would naturally submit in bed.” When the guys around Liam began to sing his praises with a suggestive tone, it was evident that Liam had committed plenty of similarly dirty acts.

As for Liam, he denied with a serious expression, “That's utter nonsense!” Turning to Lucille, he reassured her, “Don’t worry, I'll treat her well. On top of that, I'll behave and not betray her at all. If you're still worried, why don’t | report my itinerary all the time?” “Come, let's drink to Liam’s marriage!” Amidst the cheers, everyone raised their glasses.

The kind look on Lucille’s face flashed with malice just when everyone else wasn’t looking.

She wasn’t worried that Liam would misbehave when he was with Michaela. On the contrary, she was concerned that he was actually sincere in wanting to treat Michaela well.

Just when | was racking my brains on how to destroy Michaela, didn’t Liam just volunteer himself? In that case, what is there forto worry still? Even though he had described it in a disgusting manner, that is still the undeniable truth.

As of then, Liam had never been rejected by any woman he pursued before. It wasn’t just because of his good looks, but also his generosity when it cto spending money on them. The combination of both factors enabled him to fulfill every girl's fantasy in both love and materialism.

In Liam’s own words, he wasn’t particularly into love but just enjoyed the rush of conquest.

In fact, Lucille didn’t believe one word of Liam’s when he declared that he would turn over a new leaf and becthe epitof a fateful man.

Coincidentally, that was what she was also looking forward to.

She had wanted to see Michaela’s pathetic face after being manipulated and abandoned.

When the tcomes, let's see how she can still maintain her virtuous front. Once Michaela is not there forto be compared against, Zack’s parents would be clamoring to haveas their daughter-in-law.

Narrowing her gaze, Lucille let out a vibrant smile. Evidently, the show was about to begin.

As if she could already visualize the scene where Michaela’s reputation was destroyed, Lucille was visible elated.

Grabbing the hand of the girl beside her, she pulled her onto the dance floor.
