The Kidnapped Bride

"Think before saying, Lucas. You are talking to the Smith family's mothers." 

A distant yet strong voice made everyone feel the chills down their spines. Even Jenifer was started by such a dominating voice, which even made Lucas's jaw tighten and clutch his fist. 

Jennifer saw a man whose hands were tucked inside his pocket,  appeared from the place. He looked immensely handsome, with the perfect jawline that was gifted to him. 

At this point, Jennifer knew that these looks are the killer. 

However, her heart never melts on the exterior beauty anymore.. 

Meanwhile, Jack stepped inside to see the mother-son duo were crossing the barriers of insult. Keeping his expressionless face active, he aggressively replied, "Are forgetting what her status is?"

"How can I forget her status? And especially yours? That is no less than an illegitimate child, a child born out of a Woodlock!" Lucas's grilling and intuitive words shocked everyone, except Hannah and Jennifer. 

Both of them have already learned who this man was, and his identity. But there was no denying that it was seriously a major thing to learn that it was true. 

Even at the thought, Jenifer's lips curved upwards when she recalled, 'At least there is someone who has the audacity to provoke this brainless man...' 

And surely, no one will be happier than her if Lucas can be ruined. 

Jack stared at Lucas as if it was a piece of cake without baiting much of his importance at him, "Stop trying to repeat the same, Lucas. You know, I don't care about this anymore.."

Even Jennifer and the rest of them noted that Jack was pure calm, in contrast to the fury that was building up in Lucas and Amara. 

They were ready to explode anytime soon, unlike the man who maintained his calm and composure, so did his mother. 

But to avoid all the embarrassment that could have possibly taken place, Amara put a stop by asking straightaway, "What are you doing here, Veronica? And that too with your son?"

In response to this, Veronica tilted her head a little as she gazed at Amara with her sympathetic eyes, "I was here to be included in the beautiful occasion, obviously." 

"But you aren't welcomed here." Amara's sharp tongue left no place for negation with this woman. 

In her eyes, she was a whore who had snatched her husband. In this life, or in the next, she will never accept her no matter what. 

But Veronica had other plans. Her smile never reduced, in fact, it was on the edge of reaching her eyes where she depicted that Amara was such a foolish person. 

The same expressions of hers amused Jenifer and Hannah. 

Both of them gazed in each other's direction, with meaningful glares, already talking with their eyes. However, none of them even raised their voices and got their attention to stick back to the ongoing drama. 

Veronica didn't even reply immediately. She had waited, before massaging her forehead and muttering, "Really Amara....you should resign your position as that of the mistress now...it is a high time.."

"You shut up!" Amara's yell was even echoing in the entire hall, making Jennifer seriously feel that this lady was once again raging gup. 

Her nerves popping out where she knew that it was her end, strained the equation that she will be able to hold off any longer. 

Neither did Veronica react in a harsh way, nor did she stay quiet about this. "Me? Quiet? I have been quiet for a long time, for the past few decades. But not anymore.... and why not resign when you have no idea what is going around you?" 

At this point, Amara's brows were lifted from their place, "What do you mean to say?"

"You know who called me here!?''A sarcastic smile escaped from Veronica's lips when she moved closer to the current standing Amara, whose face had already started to turn paler with the time. "It is Elder master Smith, who asked me to join this moment with you guys.."

"And obviously, why not? After all, my son is managing the Smith enterprise!" Veronica's words left everyone startled. 

Everyone including Jennifer and Hannah eyes was wide in horror. Nothing could ease this feeling where they weren't even overcome with the fact that it was Elder master Smith was the one who would actually call a mistress here?!

While it was a big surprise for Jenifer's parents about the change in the CEO of the Smith enterprise. 

Amelia's shocked gaze traveled to see her husband who was dumbfounded already. Their mind was almost going through a malfunctioning where it was harder to overcome the feelings they felt at the moment. 

Or probably, their heart went through a small attack. Subconsciously, Amelia held the couch beneath her to not let herself be unconscious. 

Meanwhile, Amara's eyes never tore from the mocking smile that was plastered on Veronica's face. She was provoking her, and there wasn't a way to deny that Amara's heart grew heavier with this purpose which came no less than any shock. 

"Y-you mean to say..father called you here?" She asked again, with her stammering voice, to which Veronica nodded her head, "Shocked? You should be, after all, your days are already limited in the household!" 

"No..No..father can' do this to me.." 

Amara had to take the support of the nearby couch where her mind evolved into circles. She can't even understand what made her stomach feel the burning sensation. 

Moreover, something unimaginable crawled under her skin, making her almost dizzy. On seeing his mother's condition, Lucas's veins popped up. 

His gaze moved towards the smiling Veronica where his eyes blurted the fury that reached till his mind, "You fucking!" With this, he stepped ahead, ready to slap the whore in front of his eyes, at which almost everyone held their breath inside their lungs. 

"Lucas!!!"
