Edward laughed heartily. "No, I was just startled for a moment. Oh, I remember now! You're HannahLower, and I remember you were a crybaby who would turn on the waterworks easily when we wereyoung."

Glaring at him, Hannah retorted, "That's all because you broke my heart."

"I was ignorant back then. Don't hold it against me," he said with a chuckle. As though he justremembered Lara, he spun his head around at her. "Lara, come over quickly. Can you still recognizeour old classmates?"

However, she was still held back by a bodyguard and could only smile awkwardly.

Only then did Edward snap back to the situation. As he was overjoyed to see his old classmates, hehad forgotten about the current situation. Why did Eugene bring all of them here? "All of you are herebecause..." he trailed off, his voice filled with bafflement.

"Firstly, I must apologize to you," Nigel started. "I've been feeling bad all these years, actually, but laterwhen I heard that you're together with Lara, I thought it was a good thing and didn't say anything. Thistime when your son found us, I learned that Ellen had already passed away in a car accident."

A confused Edward said, "Tell me the main point. What do you mean?"

"Do you remember our first gathering after graduation?" Nigel asked. "It was in a restaurant that caughtfire after that."

Nodding his head blankly, Edward answered, "I remember, and it was Lara who saved me."

Nigel helplessly shook his head. "It wasn't like that—"

Before he could finish, Lara's panicked voice echoed loudly. "Nigel Lowe!"

When all eyes darted toward her, she forced herself to be composed and tried to turn the situationaround. "I recognize you now. Oh my, it's been years since we last met. You still remember me, right?"

A frosty smile appeared on Nigel's face. "For sure I do. You're my first love." After Hannah cast anindifferent stare at him, he immediately explained with a grin, "I'm only saying that to start the story ofwhat happened back then. Of course, my favorite person is you, my wife!"

It was only then did Hannah turn away.

Edward blurted in surprise, "Both of you are married?"

"Yeah. Fortunately, she's the one I married," Nigel answered.

"I'm also glad that you're the one I married!" she said as well.

Everyone burst out into laughter hearing that; for those who didn't know, they just listened to it as ajoke, but Edward knew that Lara was the one whom Nigel liked at first and Hannah had a crush onhimself.

Now, both of them were married to each other and what was more frustrating was that they sounded soglad.

Inexplicably, he had a feeling that those statements were like two slaps across his and Lara's faces.Why are they glad? Was it because Lara and I are not good? Or, are they purposely respecting eachother in front of a crowd?

In spite of that, he still didn't know what Nigel wanted to say. "So, tell me. What happened?" he asked.

"The fire back then was deliberately set by someone and it wasn't an accident at all," Nigel confessed.

An astonished Edward asked, "Who did it?"

Pointing a finger at Lara's direction, Nigel answered, "It's her!"

Following Nigel's gaze, Edward gazed at Lara with a livid face in the end and he was shocked. "That'simpossible! Why would she commit arson?"

Nigel snorted and turned to look at Lara. "Do you want me to say it for you or you want to say ityourself?"

Gritting her teeth with hatred, she wondered just how capable and influential Eugene was. Not only washe able to replace them, he was even able to convince them to testify for him. It seemed like he had beenhiding his true powers in their previous exchanges!
