The Illusion 

"Love You?"

Mike seemed to be hearing a terrible joke. He slowly approached Leila, and gave her a disgusted look. "How can you still think this way? Looks like I gave you an illusion. My effort isn't in vain." 

In one sentence, Leila's last hope was thrown to hell.

She shook her head frantically, crying and laughing. "You lied to me! Mike, you love me, but you dare not admit it. Have you forgotten how many nights we have spent together?! I can still feel it! You must love me, there's no way I can misjudge your feelings!"

When those words fell, several sighs came from the banquet hall.

What a shameless woman!

The Austin family's eyes were on Mike.

This is just too absurd!

The people present saw so much evidence that no matter what Mike's aim was, they couldn't take it in stride.
