Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 97 Engagement Gift

Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Engagement Gift

Lucas Shaw gently massaged the girl’s soft hair, his deep eyes full of tenderness.

"Serena, you’ve been wronged."

He had long known that Serena Summers didn’t have a good life at the Summers Family.

But hearing the vicious and sharp curses in the audio, Lucas Shaw’s heart still involuntarily tightened.

"I’m fine, it’s all in the past."

Serena Summers buried her little face deep into the man’s muscular chest and said nasally, "You know me, how could I let myself be taken advantage of?"

That’s true.

Lucas Shaw’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and in a cold voice, he said to Mr. and Mrs. Summers, "The Summers Family really raised a good daughter."

The man’s voice was low and full of irony.

Facing those dark, profound eyes of Lucas Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. Summers’ faces couldn’t hold their composure in an instant.

They had never expected that Grace Summers would have such a nasty temper behind their backs.

Mrs. Summers, who doted on Grace the most, did not forget to defend her, "Could there be some misunderstanding? Aren’t there those voice synthesis software nowadays? Could this be synthesized?"

Mr. Summers quickly nodded in agreement, his tense heart suddenly relieved.

"Madam is right, we can’t rule out that possibility."

Mr. Summers coldly glanced at Serena Summers and said softly, "Serena has framed Grace more than once or twice; this time she might have deliberately concocted this to frame Grace."

The guests around them had thought Mr. and Mrs. Summers were reasonable people.

After hearing these remarks, everyone was stunned.

Could this truly be what biological parents would say?

If they remembered correctly, Serena Summers is the biological daughter of the Summers Family, while Grace was just adopted from the orphanage.

They had never seen parents who, for the sake of favoring an adopted daughter, would not hesitate to harm their own biological child.

The surrounding whispering was unceasing, with everyone pointing fingers at Mr. and Mrs. Summers.

Even Everett Parker and Mrs. Parker’s gaze towards Mr. and Mrs. Summers shifted.

Originally, the marriage agreement between the Parker and Summers families was between Everett Parker and Serena Summers. After Serena went missing, it was changed to Grace.

Mrs. Parker had watched Grace grow up and had always been very partial to her.

Even after Serena was brought back to the Summers Family, Mrs. Parker had never planned on changing the marriage arrangement.

After all, Serena had lived in the countryside for over a decade and simply wasn’t presentable, not nearly as favored as the pampered Grace.

But now it seemed that Grace was not as innocent as she appeared to be.

Mrs. Parker’s brow furrowed, suddenly feeling hesitant about this marriage.

Grace Summers struggled to rise from the ground. Her eyes filled with hatred when she looked towards Serena.

She knew that this wretched girl would never let things go!

It could have been ignored on a usual day, but today, Serena had publicly released these audios, intending to sabotage her engagement ceremony.

No!

She would not allow it!

Grace Summers staggered forward, heading in the direction of Everett Parker.

"Brother Everett, you have to believe me, I didn’t say those things... my sister has always adored you, she must feel unwilling seeing me engaged to you," Grace Summers leaned into Everett Parker’s embrace, crying pitifully.

"I know I’m not the biological daughter of the Summers Family, and I simply don’t measure up to you, Brother Everett. If Brother Everett has regrets, I... sob sob sob..."

Grace Summers’ crying grew more painful as she continued.

Everett Parker looked at her tear-stained face, a flicker of pity crossing the depths of his heart.

No matter whether there’s a marriage agreement, the one he loved was always Grace Summers.

With that thought, Everett Parker quickly reached out and gently patted Grace Summers’ shoulder, silently comforting her.

"Serena Summers, I know you’ve always been jealous of Grace, but the only person I love is Grace, so give up."

Serena Summers laughed angrily at this.

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes, looked up at Lucas Shaw beside her and said, "Honey, do you think their ears are bad or their brains? As a doctor, I can’t even tell."

Lucas Shaw chuckled, raised his hand to rub Serena Summers’ fluffy hair and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps they’re already beyond cure."

Serena Summers couldn’t help but laugh.

She hadn’t expected her husband to have such a sense of humor.

She coldly swept her gaze over the Summers and Parker families, her tone full of scorn, "Some people only believe what they want to believe, no matter how many times I explain, it’s useless. If that’s the case, let’s go."

She had clarified countless times that she had absolutely no interest in Everett Parker.

But Grace stubbornly believed that everyone must like what she liked.

"One last piece of advice, you might also suffer from persecutory delusion; I suggest you get that checked at a hospital."

Having said that, Serena Summers walked away without looking back, holding Lucas Shaw’s hand.

Brandon Reese quickly pulled out a USB drive and followed their pace.

Before leaving the Parker Family, he shook the USB in his hand, "Miss Summers, just a friendly reminder that the audio and transfer records in here will appear on the front pages of major media outlets tomorrow morning. This is our boss’s engagement gift to you and the Parker Family."

After saying that, he sneered and turned to leave.

After Serena Summers and Lucas Shaw left, Grace Summers couldn’t help but feel weak in the knees, nearly falling to the ground.

She stared at the retreating figures of the two, wishing she could bore holes into their backs with her gaze.

The guests around looked at Grace Summers and were startled by the ferocious and angry expression on her face.

Is that the same pure and gentle female star Grace Summers?

Fake, right?

Seeing Grace Summers’ reaction, everyone shook their heads inwardly.

The audio released by Serena Summers must be real; they didn’t expect Grace Summers to be so malicious.

And the favoritism of Mr. and Mrs. Summers also stunned everyone present.

Mrs. Parker came to her senses, noticing the many sympathetic and disdainful looks around her.

Mrs. Parker: "..."

She pursed her lips, usually imperturbable, but a few shades of anger appeared on her face.

Brandon Reese is one of Lucas Shaw’s most capable assistants, and what he says he will surely do.

Therefore, that audio and the transfer records will definitely hit the headlines of S city, and even the whole of Corland, tomorrow morning.

By that time, not only Grace Summers will be discredited, but also the Parker Family.

Mrs. Parker’s mind raced, but having been through a lot, she quickly calmed down.

Her face, with its delicate makeup, slowly drew a politely courteous smile.

"Dear guests, there has been a little accident today, so the engagement ceremony is temporarily canceled. We have some family matters to deal with, please go home."

Cancel the engagement party?

The crowd widened their eyes, looking incredulously at Mrs. Parker.

Though they were shocked, on second thought it seemed reasonable.

After all, Grace Summers is not just anyone; she is a popular traffic-generating star.

Once these things come out, Grace Summers will probably not be able to continue in the entertainment industry.

Today, the Parker and Summers families had invited numerous well-known media outlets, and it’s likely that those audios and transfer records were already captured.
