Smith lowered his head and looked at Lucy intently. He was silent for a while, somewhat unspeakable. He said, “Yes. I want to marry Jane. It’s also…”
Smith paused but still continued, “It’s also to help your father get the Fu company completely. I… so your mother… It’s my fault!”
Lucy froze, and suddenly seemed unable to digest what Smith had just said. She grabbed Smith’s collar and asked in disbelief, “What do you mean? You helped him transfer all of Grandpa’s business?”
Looking at Lucy’s undulating chest and the anxious face, Smith still nodded. Although he knew that Lucy’s mother’s death was a big blow to her, and this matter was a gulf between him and her that could not be crossed, but he did not want to lie!
Lucy suddenly let go and laughed weirdly. She looked at Smith like a stranger. Her loneliness hurt Smith’s heart.
“Lucy! I don’t want to lie to you! You can hit me or scold me, as long as you are happy! I really don’t know it will cause such consequences, and I don’t know the truth of the matter will be like this!”
“I only thought that because the industry is not fully in the hands of your father, so Jane did not have a good life. I just…”
“He is not my father!” Lucy shouted hoarsely, she has no such father!
Lucy’s behavior was too agitated. Smith was afraid that she would hurt herself, and immediately grabbed her hand and solemnly promised, “Although the mistakes I made are irreparable, I promise you that I will make up for it, and give it back to you!”
Lucy didn’t answer, but looked at Smith sadly. Although she hated him, it still surprised her that Smith could say this so frankly. He had explained to her so many times.
Smith was really different from before…
But, her mother would never come back to life after all! Lucy was discouraged, and she lost all energy.
Smith wanted to stretch out his hand and hug Lucy again, but he reached it halfway and took it back. He was afraid that Lucy would throw it away without hesitation, he was afraid!
Sure enough, Lucy stood up suddenly, “I must solve this matter immediately, and I can’t let them go on free!” She said this to herself. Her eyes did not fall on Smith, and Smith was not included in her plan.
Lucy’s footsteps were weak, but she insisted on leaving, and Smith could not stop. He could only get up and follow her. The two of them didn’t take a few steps, and there was a rustling noise in the grass next to them.
Two ordinary man walked out of it, Smith’s thoughts were all on Lucy, and he didn’t even notice the hostility on their faces.
“Little girl, do you know how to get to Old Liu’s house?” One of them approached and asked.
Lucy frowned. She was also a stranger. She didn’t even know who Old Liu was. When she was about to answer, she saw something dangling from the waist of the man. Before she reacted, she realized that it was a knife.
“Ah!” Lucy yelled, subconsciously trying to block it with her arm!
But a sudden force came from behind her, pushing her away vigorously! Lucy fell to the ground. She immediately turned her head to look at him in a panic. Smith was holding the man’s knife with one hand, and the other hand was about to hit his shoulder.
Another knife appeared behind him, and it went straight into his back!
Smith was obviously in a vulnerable position, but he gritted his teeth and just carried it down. The man behind him gave a sinister laugh, “Let’s see if you can live through today!”
After saying this, he twisted the knife a few times, and then pulled it out! The warm blood spurted out immediately, splashing everywhere on the ground! A lot of blood stained Smith’s back even more. He muffled, then fell to the ground.
Seeing that Lucy had no support, the two went straight to her again, making it clear that they would not give up unless Lucy was killed. Smith exhausted his last bit of strength, and grabbed one of them with his hands. How could he let others hurt Lucy!
The man turned his head and glanced in disgust, kicked Smith’s head unceremoniously, and Smith fainted directly! His hand was released…
Lucy didn’t even mean to run, her eyes only stayed on Smith’s pale lips.
One of them raised his knife, proudly, but screamed! Lucy directly rushed up and hugged Smith, her hands were covered with blood from Smith’s body!
She held Smith’s head, and the bright red blood made his face pale and gray, without a trace of vitality, even his breath was so weak that he seemed to be unable to catch it!
Lucy cried bitterly, “Smith! Smith, wake up! You owe me so much, don’t you pay it back?! How can you say nothing?”
