Chapter 17 Can you peel the shrimps for me, please?

Clara Shaw's heart leaped violently, her complexion suddenly turning deathly pale.

Of course, she knew.

Not just her, the whole Shaw Family knew.

After being adopted by Elena Ryan, Sylvia Lane had always harbored love for Lucas Shaw.

Until a year ago, she finally mustered the courage to confess her feelings to him.

But Lucas Shaw mercilessly rejected her.

Unwilling to give up, Sylvia, in collusion with Elena, drugged Lucas's drink, hoping to present him with a fait accompli.

Nevertheless, that night Lucas was poisoned, becoming unrecognizable in his rage, lashing out violently at anyone in sight.

Like a beast that had completely lost consciousness and sought only to burst out of its cage.

He almost strangled Sylvia Lane to death.

By the time everyone in the villa rushed over after hearing the noise, they saw Sylvia dressed in disarray, with Lucas gripping her throat, her face swollen and red.

It seemed she could stop breathing at any second.
