CHAPTER 939 A GOOD PLAY
"You bastard..." Shocked to the core, Lucilla couldn't think of anything at that moment. There was only
one person that Lucilla would call "bastard," and that was Rocky. She had feelings for him but couldn't
control him, like she absolutely had no idea what he was doing.
"What are they doing?" Lucas asked in a mixture of annoyance and amusement as he watched Rocky
and Lucilla kiss each other in a tight embrace. He didn't understand why they were acting like this all of
a sudden. Lucilla hadn't asked Rocky to do anything, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding
between them. The previously complicated situation now seemed to have spiraled out of control.
Tate was equally confused as he watched the scene in front of him with his eyes almost popping out of
his sockets. Just when he took a step forward to stop them, however, his father pulled him back.
Alexander hadn't expected this to happen, but he knew that they couldn't panic now. A single misstep
could cause their carefully crafted plan to go down the drain. Therefore, he couldn't allow his son to do
anything rash.
By now, the whole Magnificent Hall was in an uproar. Everyone had recovered from their initial
astonishment and begun gossiping heatedly, but they still had their eyes glued to Rocky and Lucilla,
who were still kissing passionately. When news of this racy incident spread the following day, it would
definitely cause a big sensation.
Lucilla actually felt a little awkward being in Rocky's arms, but she still cooperated with him, because
she knew that there was a reason he had done this. She also knew what he wanted to achieve, but she
was worried about whether he could pull it off. Either way, she had no choice but to accept his help,
since he was the only one who could help her in this situation.
To everyone watching, however, Lucilla looked perfectly comfortable in Rocky's arms, as if she was
announcing to the world that she was his woman.
When she finally pulled away, she looked into his eyes and said earnestly, "Thank you for coming at the
right time! I kept being pestered. I was worried that there would be a huge misunderstanding, but
luckily, you are here now."
The two of them didn't seem to be putting on an act at all. Their intimacy seemed so natural that
everyone believed that Lucilla was really Rocky's woman, unlike what Tate had said.
Tod and Freddy, who had planned to take this opportunity to push Lucilla to resign, looked at each
other, puzzled. If Lucilla and Rocky were really a couple and Tate had just been trying to slander the
reputation of the Cao Clan, then they had really gotten themselves into hot water.
"Tod, things don't look good. I think we'd better retreat first!" Freddy said worriedly. The situation
seemed to be much more complex than he had thought. If Lucilla and Rocky were indeed a couple,
then he and Tod had unwittingly made themselves a part of the Qi Clan's unscrupulous plans.
"No, let's wait and see," Tod said, staring at the scene with a gloomy expression on his face. He was
angry that a great opportunity had once again been destroyed by Rocky.
Unable to control himself after hearing Lucilla's words, Tate shouted, "You two must be acting. Lucilla, I
know you must feel ashamed to have to rely on a man in order to protect your reputation and position
of the chief of the Cao Clan, but there's no need for that. As long as you marry me and let our two clans
unite by marriage, I promise that no one can take your position away from you!" His eyes were red with
fury. No matter what, he couldn't believe that Lucilla and Rocky were an item. It had to be an act they holds © this.
were putting on in order to protect her reputation as well as the Cao Clan's.
