The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn)

Chapter 266 When Lucas saw his unfamiliar and hypocritical sister in the video, he thought about how she used to behave gently and generously around them. Then, scenes from the past began appearing in his mind like a movie, such as Bella pushing Victoria to the ground and the time when she said she accidentally poured hot tea onto Victoria...

At that moment, he was drenched in a cold sweat and felt his entire body cold, even on the inside. He could not believe that the vicious woman he read about on the news was his younger sister, whom he had always thought was kind. Also, it was even harder for him to imagine that his kind younger sister had been treating him like a fool! On usual days, there would not be many customers at Delta Club around 2.00PM, but with Lucas kneeling at the entrance, the current number of bystanders could be compared to the number of customers the club had during peak hours.

Since the Spritz Family was also one of the most prominent families in Bloomsway and was well-known among the upper class, most people recognized Lucas. Therefore, many of them came to watch the commotion when they heard that he was kneeling at the entrance apologizing to Victoria.

Enduring all the sympathetic and gloating gazes from the public, he felt his handsome face gradually becoming warmer, and there were a few times when he thought he could not take it anymore and wanted to get up to leave. However, he still forced himself to persist through it.

Back when | punished Victoria by making her kneel in public surrounded by bystanders, did she also feel this humiliation? She used to be such a proud woman who was always concerned about her dignity, yet she was humiliated in such a way. Maybe she felt a hundred more times as embarrassed as | am now...

At that moment, someone from the crowd who shared a good relationship with the Spritzs came forward to persuade Lucas, “What Bella did almost ruined Victoria's entire life. Even if you kneel here all day or even for a whole month, Victoria might not forgive you! There's no point in you kneeling here, so you should get up.” The man then hinted at the person beside him with his eyes, and the two headed over to pull Lucas to his feet. However, Lucas struggled to push them away before kneeling back down again. “Don’t mind me. You guys can leave.” The different kinds of gazes he was receiving from the crowd made him feel even more embarrassed. He tightened his fists and endured the shame he felt when being stared at by the crowd, then yelled, “Victoria, I'm sorry. I've wronged you!” Meanwhile, someone was recording this scene with a phone and commenting, “Look. The Young Master of Spritz Group is kneeling in front of a club’s entrance and apologizing to Victoria! On one hand, Bella Spritz continuously pesters Mr. Coleman while Lucas Spritz continuously pesters Victoria. What an interesting pair of siblings!” The person recording the video was one of Spritz Group’s business rivals, who had never gotten along with Lucas in any way. At this moment, he was even boldly recording everything while deliberately raising his voice so that Lucas could hear everything he said.

At that, Lucas’ handsome face tensed up as he glared daggers at that person while feeling his cheeks burn like fire. While he watched that person gloating at him, he clenched his fists and was about to stand up, but he held that thought back and forced himself to look away, acting as if he did not hear a word.

When Victoria kneeled while being jeered at by me and Scarlett, didn’t she also continue kneeling while pretending to be deaf? I've only been kneeling for two hours and am already feeling this agony. How did she manage to come by during this period? When he thought about how Victoria wanted to kill herself in the car accident, he felt every cell in his entire body tense up and his heart was being cut into pieces.

In Victoria's eighteen years of carefree life, did she ever suffer such humiliation? When she was working at Delta Club, not only did she have to do laborious jobs, but she also suffered from being mentally abused. No wonder she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to end her life. Also, based on the intertwined bruises on her body, she might have gone through hell in prison! “I didn’t accept you back then because | didn’t have any feelings for you, but now, | won't accept you because I'm disgusted!” Victoria's words from a few days ago echoed in his ears. Subsequently, he held his hands in fists and leaned forward to lie on the ground before pounding the floor.

It hurts. My heart is in so much pain that it feels numb. Bella did such a thing to Victoria, yet | even righteously asked Victoria to apologize to Bella. No wonder she hates me so much! Meanwhile, the crowd was also shocked by the scene and began discussing it among themselves.

“Is Mr. Spritz mentally ill?” “He’s already engaged to Scarlett, and Victoria is now Mr. Thatcher's girlfriend, yet he continues to pester Victoria. | don’t even know whether to say he’s devoted or shameless!” “Maybe he can't accept being used by his younger sister to deal with the woman he loves!” “Bella usually looks weak and gentle. | didn’t expect her to have such vicious means, so it's normal for Lucas to be fooled.

Moreover, he’s not the only one who was fooled by her appearance.” At that moment, there was a commotion among the crowd; Nancy and Scarlett had arrived.

As Scarlett heard what the crowd was discussing, she felt so embarrassed that her face turned red. She sprinted over to Lucas before tugging on him while softly threatening, “Lucas, you're putting the Spritzs and Palmers to shame by kneeling here!” Meanwhile, his fists were drenched in blood as he did not budge from his spot. His amber eyes were filled with red veins, making him look terrifying.

“Lucas Spritz!” Among the discussions of the crowd, Scarlett was so pissed that she yelled, wanting the floor to swallow her up.

He looked up at her, feeling physically and mentally fatigued. “I've wronged you. Tomorrow, I'll head over to the Palmer Residence to apologize and cancel our engagement.” Since Scarlett did not expect him to blurt that out, she was stunned when she heard it.

The Spritzs and Palmers’ engagement involves more than just two people. It also involves the two companies’ partnership, but Lucas just said he wants to cancel our engagement.

“Lucas, what are you talking about?” As soon as Nancy hear those words, she became anxious. “Did that vixen, Victoria, tell you something and had you cancel your engagement?” Lucas had already been dissatisfied with his parents’ and younger sister’s attitudes. It's Bella who did something wrong, and Victoria is the victim, but the three of them don’t even feel any remorse for what they did to Victoria! Now that he heard his mom addressing Victoria as a vixen, his patience had finally run out. “Victoria didn’t do anything, and she won't even answer my calls because she thinks I'm disgusting! Now, | don’t even have a chance to apologize to her. Are you satisfied now, Mom?” “Lucas, how could you side with an outsider?” Nancy could not understand why he would act like that.

When a member of the Spritz Family has a dispute with another person, shouldn't he side with his family? “Is this a matter of siding with an outsider?” Lucas had always thought his mother was unreasonable, and she was being exceptionally unreasonable today. “Not only did Bella frame Victoria for something she didn’t do, but she also caused Victoria's leg to be broken, get thrown into prison for two years, and even had the Colemans cut ties with her! Shouldn't Bella apologize to Victoria for doing those things to her?” Though he was kneeling on the floor, his extreme anger fueled his aura and completely overpowered Nancy.

“What spell did Victoria cast on you to make you keep siding with her?” Nancy huffed. “She only sat in prison for two years and came out unharmed. Also, not only is her leg broken but Bella's too! Doesn't that make them even?”
