Chapter 434
After the events at Lightning Valley, Emily and St. Gabriel Reform Academy dropped all pretense and became open
enemies.
With the evidence Jackson and his crew left behind, plus all the groundwork Austin had laid out in advance, Emily and Austin could do whatever they wanted without worrying about the consequences.
But the academy had a lot to lose, so they had to keep things under wraps and didn’t dare make any bold moves. Compared to that, Emily and Austin naturally had the upper hand.
While Emily was busy dealing with St. Gabriel Reform Academy, she got some news from the hospital. Lucas’s legs were crippled; he’d never be able to stand again for the rest of his life..
He was completely devastated, lying in the hospital with no will to do anything. The only time he showed any sign of life was when he shouted for Emily.
Lucas had been a race car driver; racing was all he knew. Now that both his legs and hands were crippled, there was nothing left for him to hope for in this life.
After all, Lucas had fallen off that cliff trying to save her. Emily wasn’t about to be as cold-blooded as Lucas had been to her back in the day.
So, she called off her plan to buy out Lucas’s shares, covered all his medical expenses, and even personally handed over 300 thousand dollars as a token of gratitude right in front of the cameras.
Whatever happened to Lucas after that was none of her business, and honestly, she couldn’t care less. But because she didn’t care didn’t mean the news wouldn’t still find its way to her.
After all, the Bennett Family was now the biggest laughingstock in all of Cloudridge, and plenty of people were just waiting for karma to catch up with them. So when that day came, the whole internet exploded.
