Chapter 6
Just as I was about to leave, Lucia suddenly rushed over and grabbed my hand.
‘Gerald, you came at the right time! Now only you can stop John! Just delete the previous post and declare that it was sent by mistake!”
I pushed her away. Although I didn’t push hard, I had already made my attitude clear. Seeing this, John shed tears, “Mr. Burkett, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault that I was confused for a moment and took away your credit.”
“At this point, I have no other choice. I can only die to apologize!”
He was about to jump and Lucia was so anxious that she suddenly grabbed a handmade knife on the table next to her and put it against her neck.
*Gerald, do you really want to force me to death before you forgive John?”
Looking at her with tears streaming down her face, my mind suddenly became dazed. When we confirmed our relationship five years ago, the Morgan Family firmly disagreed and wanted to force us to break up.
In the end, it was Lucia who threatened to die with a fruit knife that made the Morgan Family give in. The determination on her face at that time was exactly the same as it is

*John, are you okay? You were too impulsive. If you had really jumped down just now, do you know how sad I would be…”
Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly, I laughed at myself and turned away.
On the way home, I called a friend and asked him to investigate some things.
My friend agreed readily and was very efficient. He replied in less than an hour and sent me a document. This document confirmed my guess.
John’s bitter drama was indeed for a purpose…
The next day, the wealthy Morgan Family booked the only six–star hotel in Manchester and held a banquet.
Lucia’s father and mother were in a good mood. Because after the stock market opened, the stocks of Morgan Group continued to soar. The statement I issued finally worked. Lucia today was more beautiful than ever before. She was wearing a custom dress, holding flowers and an engagement ring, standing on the stage, waiting for the exciting

moment.
The guests were also looking forward to it.

But what no one knew was that I had already boarded the cruise with my mother’s precious things for me in a wooden box. And blocked all contact information of Lucia.
