“I just don’t understand. Why?”
He thought for a while and then asked bitterly.
“Is it because of Melody? She has already been punished for what she did. She knows she was wrong, and she won’t act against you in the future.”
Lucinda shook her head with a smile.
“I always knew that you Liked me. But I also know that you only like me because you can’t get me.”
Brinleigh didn’t say anything more. His eyes were slightly red as he stared at her wordlessly.
Lucinda continued, “You’re gentle and modest, and you’re kind to everyone. But you have one weakness: your family comes first. You knew what Melody did to me, but you never mentioned anything about it.”
Brinleigh choked. Lucinda was right, but he was still reluctant to admit defeat.
“I…
Then what about Nathaniel? His sister and mother used to be cruel to you. Didn’t he prioritize his family over you?”
After a short silence, Lucinda said with a cold smile, “They’ll pay for what they did sooner or later, and Nathaniel is no exception.”
Hearing this, Brinleigh finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucinda said she’d take revenge on Nathaniel for what happened in the past, but she didn’t say anything about taking revenge on him for what Melody did.
That meant she cared about Brinleigh after all, right?
She was just angry with him because of Melody. Which meant that he still had a chance!
After thinking it through, Brinleigh stood up in high spirits and said, “Lucinda, don’t worry. I’m willing to wait, and I’ll always have your back. As long as you look behind you, I’ll be there.”

Then he left, a silly grin on his face.
Lucinda pressed her fingers against her temples, feeling helpless.
It seemed that Brinleigh still didn’t understand what she meant…
Forget it. She would make things clear to him later if there was a chance.
Over the next few days, Tess claimed that she went to every construction site every day. She wasn’t in the company most of the time, nor did she come to Amanda’s office to give her updates.
Whenever Amanda tried to call Tess, Tess would say that she was busy.
Amanda was very unhappy with Tess’s attitude.
If it weren’t for the fact that she needed her help, Amanda would’ve lost her temper by now.
