But after getting her, what did he do?
Because his heart was conflicted, because he knew her family background would never be accepted by his family,
He tacitly agreed to all the pranks.
If in the first few times, he still felt a bit guilty when he saw Sophia hurt,
Later, as time went on, seeing Sophia endure all the pranks without complaint,
He began to enjoy this distorted relationship.
Look, there was actually someone in this world who could love him to such an extent.
His vanity and pride were satisfied to the fullest.
Then, he started wanting to test her with even more outrageous “jokes“.
Step by step, he allowed the situation to develop to what it was today.
When Sophia said at the foot of the mountain that she just wanted him to spend a good day with her, he had actually softened for
But thinking of Bella, thinking of that group of friends, thinking of the scene of him kneeling to propose to her,
He still resolutely brought her up the mountain.
At the moment Sophia fell, he suddenly regretted it.

He wanted to find her quickly, hold her in his arms,
Tell her he was sorry, that he loved her.
That those pranks were never from his heart.
He wanted to tell Sophia that he had truly fallen in love with her, and no matter what his family said, he would marry her.
But…
It was too late…
He clutched the broken safety net, his vision gradually blurring.
Bella exclaimed in shock: “Lucas, you’re crying?”
“You’re actually crying for that woman!”
She tugged at him and shouted: “Lucas, look at me! I’m the one you love!”
“I endured for three whole years, watching her stand by your side, acting as your girlfriend.”
“Lucas, you can’t betray me!”
The search and rescue team suddenly called. Lucas shoved Bella aside.
Bella could hardly believe it. The Lucas who had always been so gentle to her
Now seemed to have no feelings for her at all.
Just a few hours ago,
They had embraced and kissed passionately in front of Sophia.
The phone call didn’t bring good news.
Instead, they found torn pieces of clothing and large bloodstains.
When Lucas frantically arrived at the scene, a rescue team member handed him a box:
“Mr. Lucas, wild animals often roam this area. We did our best but could only find these bone fragments,”
“We sent the blood for DNA testing immediately. It’s confirmed to be Miss Sophia’s…”
The box seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Lucas’s hands were too weak to hold it.
How could the vibrant, lovely, beautiful Sophia now be reduced to bone fragments in this box?
He couldn’t accept it. He didn’t want to believe it!
But the blood test couldn’t be faked, and he recognized the torn clothing fragments.
Because he had personally helped Sophia put on that outfit.
Then led her down this path of no return.
