He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiling even more happily. “I just borrowed the cufflink from your closet, Lucas. Why get so angry? Look, so many people are staring at you.”
At the party, many had noticed themotion in the corner and were whispering.
Lucas clenched his fists.
Within a short time, Wyatt made a high–profile move into the Wright family and joined thepany. Though he held the title of the second heir, he effectively took everything that originally belonged to Lucas as the sole heir.
The status, influence, and even affection of Lucas’s father.
Before they left today<i>, </i>their harmonious family of three became four. Lucas’s father, without even a discussion, unterally decided to have Wyatt ride with him in the front car, leaving Margot and Lucas to ride in the car behind.
Even Margot, Lucas’s mother, who had always favored him, recently softened her stance toward Wyatt and was no longer at odds with him.
Lucas felt the world was truly absurd
How could he, the dignified heir of the Wright family, the golden boy everyone had looked up to since childhood, lose to Wyatt, the bastard who was inferior to him in every way?
Every resource Wyatt currently enjoys should rightfully be Lucas’s.
What was even more shameless was that Wyatt had now encroached upon Lucas’s private space.
That cufflink was specially bought for him by Natasha to celebrate his first internship at thepany.
He rarely used it, always treasuring and keeping it in a cab.

Lucas believed Wyatt was doing it on purpose.

‘How did he get the key, and who allowed him into my walk–in closet?‘ thought
Lucas.
The anger burning in Lucas’s chest was about to consume his sanity.
The angrier he became, the brighter Wyatt’s smile grew. Wyatt raised his hand, dangling the cufflink before Lucas, and chuckled. “Looks like I picked well. The cufflink is indeed important to you, Lucas, but I can’t help it. I love it, too.” <fnb83e> Get full chapters from find?novel</fnb83e>
He turned his back to the others and taunted softly, “I’m interested in everything you own, Lucas. Tell me, can I snatch them one by one? Lucas, it seems you can’t hold onto them…”
Wyatt caressed the cufflink again, full of smug satisfaction.
Lucas’s mind was like a string of firecrackers ignited, exploding, and shattering all his reason andposure.
He hit Wyatt again.
Wyatt dodged this time.
He grabbed Lucas’s fist and said, “Lucas, hitting people in public is not like you, Mr. Wright. That’s enough.”
Lucas only struggled and continued to punch.
Wyatt could have dodged again, but for some reason, he stopped.
Lucas’s punchnded on his chin.
As Lucas was surprised, a loud pnded on his face with the force of a palm.
Lucas covered his face and looked incredulously at Emmanuel, his father.
Emmanuel, hearing themotion, rushed over anxiously. He saw his two sons fighting from a distance.
It seemed like a one–sided dominance by Lucas.

He was furious.

‘What kind of asion is this? They can fight all they want in private, but can’t they show some restraint in public? It is utterly disgraceful,‘ thought Emmanuel.
He looked at Lucas, his eyes full of disappointment.
Initially, Emmanuel had been happy. A while ago, Lucas faced reality, listened to his mother, and went on blind dates, even sessfully connecting with Esther, the only daughter of Wesley Kloss, who was the president of a bank.
The Wright family needed capital, and the Kloss family was the best choice for a marriage alliance.
Moreover, Esther had a good family background, was beautiful, and was straightforward. She didn’t mind Lucas’s past rtionship entanglements or his cold personality. She openly pursued Lucas because she liked him.
However, within a few days, Lucas fell back into his old habits and got entangled with Olivia again.
Not only did Lucas lose Esther, but he also angered the Kloss family and created animosity.
Emmanuel was so furious that he wished he could whip Lucas to death.
“What’s going on today?” Emmanuel asked coldly, ignoring Lucas, who was still reeling from being publicly humiliated by Emmanuel.
Wyatt lookedpletely innocent, saying, “Lucas saw the cufflinks on my clothes and was unhappy that I borrowed his thing.”
Emmanuel’s eyes were full of disbelief. “All for a mere pair of cufflinks?”
He frowned, looking at Lucas. “Enough. It’s just a little thing. Wyatt can get you a new pairter.”
He red at Lucas and Wyatt. “Both of you, behave yourselves from now on. Don’t disgrace us.”
Lucas wanted to argue back defiantly. “Those aren’t just cufflinks. They are…”

“Enough.” A hand grabbed his arm, stopping him from speaking.

Margot said coolly, “No matter how important it is, it’s just an inanimate object. It’s not as important as the Wright family’s reputation. Stop making a fuss.”
Lucas looked at Margot, hurt.
However, Margot had expressionlessly let go of her hand.
She once held great hopes for Lucas. She didn’t give up even when Emmanuel clearly wanted to abandon him.
Margot put a lot of effort and favors into arranging the blind date with Esther for Lucas.
In the end, it was still ruined.
She was mentally exhausted.
Margot was leading the charge, but Lucas always held her back.
Now she even suspects that Lucas, who was once excellent in every aspect, brilliant and wless, was merely her own illusion.
Emmanuel convinced her that Lucas couldn’t inherit the Wright family. Not only was Alexei coveting it, but Lucas’s tendency to always be swayed by emotions and be exploited by women was a major, undeniable w.
His weakness would ruin the Wright Group.
Although Wyatt was mediocre, at least he wouldn’t bring about devastating disasters.
If all else failed, they could hire a professional manager,
Margot also held shares in the Wright Group. Now, her perspective on issues had shifted from that of a mother to a cold shareholder’s mindset.
If Lucas were capable, he should listen to his father, give up his past glory, start afresh, and begin anew.
She wouldn’t truly abandon him.

The double betrayal by his parents deeply affected Lucas.

He even forgot to retrieve those cufflinks and dejectedly made his way out of the
venue.
Just as he was about to leave, he happened to meet Olivia, wearing an evening gown and holding a box.
She looked at him in surprise, “Lucas?”
Lucas looked at her concerned gaze, but what he thought of was, ‘Did Natasha also live such a life in the past?‘
His possessions were snatched, his actions were misunderstood, and his pain was ignored.
It was his home, yet an outsider brazenly dominated
his life.
shamelessly taking over
Olivia didn’t notice Lucas’s change. She smiled and opened the box, saying, “You’re just in time. Look what I found!
“I was tidying up old things a few days ago when I found two cups that were still in perfect condition. Shall we each keep one?”
Cups?
Lucas saw a pair of ceramic cups shaped like a little cat and a dog. He suddenly remembered he had once given Natasha a cup, which he brought back from Libadia during a business trip.
Natasha loved it.
Later, Olivia identally broke that cup.
Natasha argued with her, and the rk family all med Natasha for making a big deal out of a cup and causing trouble for Olivia, calling her immature,
Natasha ran to Lucas, feeling wronged and angry, to confide, but he was worried about Olivia, who was distressed by Natasha. He told Natasha indifferently, “It’s just a cup. I’ll get you another.”

It was just a cup.
It was just a pair of cufflinks.
The two sentences were so simr.
Lucas forgot it was not just a cup, but also held emotions and memories.

Natasha’s eyes, which had suddenly lost their brightness at that time, suddenly became clear in Lucas’s memory.
Natasha thought he would value their gifts as much as she did.
However, it turned out it wasn’t the case.
