Chapter 673: Charlotte Gets The Wrong Idea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“…” Lucas was speechless.

He had already told Clement that he treated Alexis as a sister and merely acted as her shield at her party yesterday. Yet Clement made him out to be a villain who seduced his daughter with ill intentions.

Now, Clement had gotten the wrong idea about him and Lena too.

“Mr. Cole, you’ve misunderstood,” Lucas said with a frown.

“Hah, whether I’ve misunderstood or not doesn’t change the fact that you’re a scumbag! I’m warning you. You’d better stay away from my daughter in the future. Otherwise, I definitely won’t let you off!” Clement glowered at Lucas and then left arrogantly with his bodyguards.

Lucas felt helpless. There was no way to use common sense to reason with Clement. Moreover, he was way too prejudiced against Lucas, so they couldn’t communicate properly at all.

Holding onto Lucas’s arm, Lena said with an apologetic expression, “I’m sorry, Lucas. It seems I’ve caused you to be misunderstood!”

“Lucas?! You… you guys…”

Suddenly, another extremely familiar figure appeared in front of Lucas and Lena. She was staring at them in shock, especially at the way Lena was holding onto Lucas’s arm.

Lucas immediately retracted his arm from Lena’s grip almost with a whoosh. He looked a little awkward and felt slightly panicked.

The person standing in front of them was none other than Charlotte.

“Charlotte, why are you here in San Francisco too? How come I didn’t hear you mention it before?” Lucas frantically asked, somehow feeling guilty.

Charlotte looked at Lucas with disappointment and a complicated gaze in her eyes. “Lucas, if I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have seen what you were doing. How can you do this to Cheyenne?”

She stared closely at Lucas, her eyes full of emotions like disappointment, resentment, anger, and so on.

After finally clearing the misunderstanding she had about Lucas at the beginning, her impression of Lucas had been getting better and better. In her opinion, he was strong, tall, handsome, domineering yet gentle, and extremely nice to her, Cheyenne, and her family.

So Charlotte had always felt that Cheyenne was very lucky to have married Lucas.

But she never thought that she would witness her brother-in-law linking arms with another woman here. To make matters worse, the woman was her sister’s best friend!

At this moment, Charlotte strongly felt the anger of being betrayed and extremely unjust for Cheyenne.

“Charlotte, you’ve misunderstood. There is nothing between me and Lena. We just happened to run into each other here, and she was having a hard time walking in heels, so I was giving her a hand. There’s definitely no other meaning!” Lucas explained anxiously.

If it were an irrelevant outsider like Clement, Lucas wouldn’t bother to explain anything even after they had misunderstood his relationship with Lena. But since it was Charlotte, he panicked because he didn’t want her to misunderstand him at all.

The only woman he had ever loved in his life was Cheyenne.

If Cheyenne heard about the misunderstanding, he would never be able to explain himself clearly.

Seeing how unconvinced Charlotte was, he hurriedly urged Lena, “Lena, quickly explain to Charlotte that we’re just ordinary friends and nothing like what she thinks!”

The moment Lena saw Charlotte, she felt a pang of panic. But she began to feel extraordinarily uncomfortable after hearing how desperate Lucas was to prove that there was no other relationship between them.

“Uh, yes, Lucas is right. He and I are just ordinary friends. I wanted to visit the stalls here, but I’m wearing heels, making it inconvenient to walk properly. So I asked Lucas to let me hold onto his arm while I walked! There’s really nothing… between us! Also, you mustn’t tell your sister about this. Just take it that I’m begging you, okay?” Lena hurriedly explained.

Perhaps because she was too nervous, she looked panic-stricken and flustered when she explained, just like someone caught red-handed doing a misdeed. It made Charlotte feel that she was deliberately hiding something.

“Is it really a misunderstanding? Or did you do something immoral, so you have a guilty conscience facing me? If you’re really innocent, why are you afraid that I’ll tell my sister about it? Tell me!” Charlotte hollered at Lena furiously.

Although she hadn’t interacted much with Lena, she knew that Cheyenne cherished her friendship with Lena and would often mention the latter in front of her. During holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, she would specially send some gifts and food to Lena, who was far away from home.

Thus, Charlotte was even more enraged when she saw that the woman holding onto Lucas’s arm was her sister’s best friend.

Hearing Charlotte’s overbearing questions, Lena looked even more helpless and flustered. She seemed to be at a loss for how to explain what happened today and could only plead over and over again, “Charlotte, your sister and I have been best friends for so many years. I… How could I ever betray her? This is really just a misunderstanding. You must believe me!

“I beg you not to tell your sister about this. I don’t want her to overthink. If she misunderstands me and takes me for that kind of woman, how can I still have the cheek to see her?

“I… I really don’t want to lose my friendship with Cheyenne, so Charlotte, please promise me not to tell her about this!”

The more Lena explained in such a manner and repeatedly asked Charlotte not to tell Cheyenne, the more it made Charlotte feel that she and Lucas had really done something they shouldn’t have done.

Charlotte couldn’t stand it anymore and snapped, “Enough! You know best whether you’ve done anything or not! Trust you to still claim to be best friends with my sister. You don’t deserve to be my sister’s friend, nor do you deserve the care she’s given you over the years!

“You… you really disgust me!

“And you, Lucas, so much for treating you as my good brother-in-law. I even saw you as my brother. You’ve really disappointed me! I’ll definitely tell Cheyenne about this. None of you try to take Cheyenne and my family as fools!”

With that, Charlotte glowered at them before turning around to storm off.

“Charlotte…” Lucas wanted to explain some more, but Charlotte had already left.

He stood rooted to the ground with his mouth wide open, at a complete loss for words.

Although it was obviously just a misunderstanding, and Lucas felt that he only needed to explain it clearly, Charlotte somehow got angrier after hearing the explanation. In the end, she seemed to believe that there was an illicit relationship between him and Lena.

Lucas was helpless and troubled.
