CHAPTER 938 THE UNEXPECTED KISS

Of course, it was just an illusion that Tate did on purpose. It was because he wanted to ruin Lucilla's

reputation by any means necessary. Now, in his mind, to protect the Cao Clan, she would be forced to owns this text.

agree to his proposal, and at last, the two clans would be united through their marriage.

Of course, the Qi Clan had done this to help Geoffrey deal with the Cao Clan, who could cause trouble

to him if they chose to support Woods. Also, Tate had done it because this was his long-cherished wish

for many years, and that was to have Lucilla as his bride.

The Qi Clan's plan aimed to kill two birds with one stone, and they had caught the Cao Clan off guard,

because they never imagined that the Qi Clan would be willing to sacrifice their reputation just to drag

Lucilla down.

But for the Qi Clan, they viewed it as a worthy sacrifice, for they were willing to let go of their reputation

as long as their plan succeeded. Once the two clans were united by marriage, the Qi Clan would take

advantage of the situation and they would reign supreme with their combined power. By that time, even

if the Cao Clan wanted to support Woods, they would be restrained and unable to do anything.

Lucilla was shocked when she heard Tate's words because she never thought that he would divorce

his wife because of her. In the back of her mind, she was sure that it was just an excuse, and what he

really wanted to do was drag her through the mud. From the current situation, it was obvious that Tate

had succeeded.

Lucas's face contorted in anger and frustration. He was caught off guard by the Qi Clan's cruel plot,

and he hated that he could do nothing to help Lucilla. The most troublesome thing about the whole

mess was that Tate had divorced his wife because of Lucilla. In the end, the one who would become

the target of public criticism was not Tate, but Lucilla.

"Chief Lucilla, Tate loves you so much that even I can't stop him. However, he doesn't have any

feelings for his wife. He still loves you so much despite all the years that have passed, so I took the

liberty to come here with him. I hope you can agree to the marriage so that the Qi Clan and the Cao

Clan can also take this opportunity to unite again and fulfill your father's wish many years ago." Seeing

that the opportunity was mature, Alexander immediately put forward his suggestion. It was supposed to

be a scandal, but it was turned into a good thing after his few words. The old saying that "the elders

turn out to be wiser" was proven right in this instance.

What Alexander said also caused a commotion among the people present because once the two clans

joined hands, no clan in the Timber Deity Empire would be a match for them. Moreover, if any prince

could get the support of the two clans, he would definitely take over the throne.

Right on cue, Rocky's figure appeared in one corner of the Magnificent Hall silently. Perhaps because

everyone's attention was on Lucilla and Tate, no one noticed his appearance. Of course, Rocky had

hidden his figure on purpose.

Not long ago, he had just completed a part of the genetic modification experiments. That day, he

planned to send a gift to Lucilla. However, as soon as he approached the hall, he heard the disciples of

the Cao Clan that were tasked to guard outside the hall discussing feverishly. After inquiring them, he

finally understood what had happened. Therefore, he hid his aura and entered the hall stealthily.

When he was at the hall and saw what was happening himself, his eyes narrowed and a look of

contemplation appeared on his face.

At that moment, Lucilla's body was trembling badly. She glared at Tate fiercely, but the latter looked

calm and steady in the face of her anger, a sinister smile painted on his face.

"Chief Alexander and Tate, please leave our mansion now! Just forget what you said. But our Cao Clan

would not just sit still if you continued to say such outrageous things and act recklessly. After all, our

reputation is also at stake here!" At last, Lucilla had to ask them to leave. Although she wanted to rush

forward and slap Tate on the face, the most important thing right now was to remain calm and clarify

the wrong conclusions that were undoubtedly in the people's minds.

"Lucilla, if you don't promise me to be engaged with me, I won't leave today. I even divorced my wife for

you. Was that not enough to prove my feelings for you?" Tate continued to pretend to be obsessed with

her.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

"What a disgraceful woman you are! As our chief, how could you seduce a married man, and he even

made a scene in public. What a shame!" At that moment, a low voice suddenly sounded from the back

of the hall.

The people in the Magnificent Hall immediately turned their heads and saw two figures that seemed to

have just arrived. The two figures were Lucilla's uncles, Tod and Freddy.

"Uncle Tod and Uncle Freddy..." Lucilla frowned at the sight of the two because she knew that the two

would take the opportunity to stir up trouble for her.

Sure enough, after Tod came in, he looked around the crowd and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. This

should be our family affairs, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I'm sorry!"

"Uncle Tod, I will handle it myself. You don't have to get involved!" Lucilla was worried that he would

take this opportunity to cast a shadow on her role as chief, so she stopped him at once.

"You say that you will handle it, but how will you do that? He divorced his wife for you. It is a shame that

the chief of our clan is a brazen woman like you, who seduces men everywhere. And you even

seduced a man from the Qi Clan. How are we supposed to trust that you are working for the good of

the clan? Maybe you are working in the interest of the opponents at the expense of our own!" Tod

scolded with a serious face as if he was truly worried about the clan and not just his own interest.

"That's right. No wonder our clan has been trampled underfoot by the Qi Clan for so many years. It

turns out that someone was betraying our clan..." Freddy hinted deliberately.

Their words also shocked everyone in the hall, because they didn't expect that the Cao Clan would

have an internal conflict in this situation.

As expected, Alexander and Tate also had a smug smile on their faces.

Lucilla's face turned livid with rage. If the two uncles continued to air their dirty laundry so publicly, she

would probably be the most talked-about woman tomorrow in the whole Timber Deity Empire. Most

importantly, she could be impeached as the chief of her clan by this time tomorrow.

"Tod, Freddy, it's just a plot of the Qi Clan. If you keep acting like this, you will only fall into their trap."

Lucas's face was red and contorted in anger, as he shouted at Tod and Freddy.

"Master Lucas, you are wrong. Tate loved Chief Lucilla very much. Otherwise, how could he divorce his

wife? And am I the kind of person who shows off the scandal of my own family?" Alexander said

innocently.

"You don't have to say anything more. My dear niece, if you want to prove your innocence, you have to

resign as the chief of our clan today. If this matter spreads out, our Cao clan will be dragged through

the mud together with you," Tod said without hesitation.

"No way!" Lucilla glared darkly at her opportunistic scum of an uncle.

"If you insist on this, then I will have no choice but to invite some elders here," Tod added immediately.

She could only remain silent with gritted teeth because she knew that if Tod invited all the elders out,

they would probably make her resign before they clarified the issue. But if that happened, Tod and

Freddy would take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, and then the Cao Can would never

have a peaceful day!

The same things were running through Lucas's mind, but he couldn't think of any solution for the time

being.

"Lucilla, if you agree to my proposal, everything will be easier for you," Tate insisted once again

because he knew that she was not willing to hand over the chief position. Therefore, if she wanted to

keep her position as the chief, she must agree to his proposal, and his ultimate goal would be

achieved.

But to everyone's surprise, a figure suddenly jumped out of the shadows and landed by Lucilla's side.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, he lifted Lucilla's chin lightly with his finger, pulled her

closer, and pressed his lips against hers...
