Chapter 78
That evening, Lucas showed up at the hotel right on time.
As he reached the seventh floor, he saw me waiting by the elevator.
He glanced around nervously, but the only other person nearby was a hotel staff member.
“Lola, what are you trying to pull? You’re not planning on seducing me, are you?”
I chuckled at his arrogance.
“Seducing you? Maybe, but not by me.”
We reached room 701. I nodded at the staff member, who swiped a key card.
With a soft click, the door swung open.
There was a moment of stunned silence, followed by a shocked voice.
“Who’s there?”
Lucas froze.
It was Nancy’s voice.
He pushed past me to step into the room.
Nancy, wrapped in nothing but a towel, quickly tried to block the door.
“Lucas! What are you doing here? I’m just getting out of the shower.”
Lucas peered inside, frowning.
“What are you doing here? Why are you in this hotel?”
I leaned against the doorframe casually.
“Need me to explain what’s going on, Lucas?”
Nancy shot me a vicious look and tried to shut the door.
“I had a meeting here today, and I came up to freshen up afterward… Wait outside while I get dressed.”
Before she could slam the door, I swiftly blocked it and pulled out my phone.
“Let’s not pretend anymore. I’ll let the footage speak for itself.”
I played a recording from the hospital’s surveillance cameras.
This time, it wasn’t Lucas and Nancy in the frame, but Nancy and Jacky, in a private meeting in his office.
“Sweetheart, you’re so amazing. With you in charge, I’ll definitely win the competition for department head,” Nancy cooed.
Nancy was draped across Jacky’s lap, tracing circles on his chest.
“Oh, stop it! You’re just as incredible as ever,” Jacky responded with a sleazy grin.
“You’ve given so much for this, too. How long have you been stringing along Lucas now?”
Nancy gave him a playful slap.
“Oh, please. You know I’m only with him because you won’t leave your wife. A girl’s gotta secure her future somehow.”
“Besides, Lucas is a total deadbeat. He won’t even splurge on a decent hotel room.
The conversation got even more disgusting after that.
Lucas’s face turned pale as he watched. His whole body trembled.
He had been played for a fool.
I closed the video and sneered.
“Well, Lucas, enjoying the show? How does it feel to be someone’s backup plan?”
Lucas’s disbelief turned to rage as he turned to Nancy.
“Nancy, tell me this isn’t true. Tell me it’s all lies.”
Nancy’s eyes darted around, trying to find a way out.
But the proof was undeniable.
Before she could say anything, I shoved her aside and barged into the room, where Jacky was hastily trying to pull up his pants.
“Wait, wait! I can explain! You’re violating my privacy…” he stammered as he desperately tried to cover himself.
Lucas’s anger reached a breaking point.
With a roar, he shoved Nancy to the floor and lunged at Jacky, raining punches on him.
“Stop! Stop hitting me!” Jacky cried.
