"Lie down, I'll apply some medication for you." Irene saw the medication on the shelf.She took it and opened the bottle. She muttered, "Mr. Lucas, this time, I was the one who caused you trouble. You didn't want to go out yesterday, but I insisted on taking you out. I was the one being bullied; it had nothing to do with you, you—""Can you be quiet? I didn't sleep last night. I'm feeling dizzy." Lucas lay in bed and shut his eyes. "Later, if my dad speaks to you, don't say anything dumb. Just say that you were scared out of your wits and that you don't know anything. Don't let me get beaten up for nothing."Irene initially had been holding back her tears. When she heard what he said, her tears began to fall."Why are you crying?" Lucas turned to look at her face filled with tears. He furrowed his brows. "Are you listening?""I am. Aren't you feeling dizzy? If you feel dizzy, go to sleep!" Irene wiped away her tears and pulled his shirt up. The marks on his back jumped at her. "Yo

"Watch your attitude! She is nothing but our servant. Whether she works for our family or not is up to me. If I don't want her to work here, she has to leave! Does my retaining or firing servants require your approval?" Mr. Woods was so furious he stood up from the sofa.Mrs. Woods saw her husband that her husband was furious, and she knew she did not need to add fuel to the fire. "Lucas, did you know that your father went to the Shaw family to apologize…""You shut up!" Lucas glared at Mrs. Woods and said, "You poisoned my dog. Now, you fired my servant. Why don't you kick me out of the house altogether?""What do you mean by your servant? What? Just because you spent a few days with that ugly woman, you have feelings for her? Lucas, you better understand whose house you are staying in and who is putting the food on the table. Your servant was hired with my money, too!" Mr. Woods' blood pressure was increasing. His face was flushed and his glare was sharp."Then, I'll leave!" Lu

When she was a teenager, she had mentioned that she had wanted to marry Eric, and her mother had stopped her. She did not think much of it because she was still young at the time. However, despite not being exceptionally close to Eric throughout the recent years, the thought of wanting to marry Eric had taken over her mind once again.She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not realize the traffic light had turned green. She only snapped out of it when she heard the loud honks of the cars behind her. She needed to talk to her mother.Every time that there was a matter that had upset her or a problem that she could not solve alone, she would always talk to her mother. Though she was almost twenty-five, she was still the baby in front of her mother.Avery was in Elliot's mansion. Avery had received the tickets to Eric's live show. He had sent six tickets and a message that said he could send more if she needed more.Avery felt that six was more than enough, and when Layl

"Um... I've been a little stressed, so my period is a few days late..."Elliot blushed. "You should go see a doctor, then. Get your mom to go with you.""I'm kind of scared of the hospital, that's why I wanted to talk to Mom first. I'm starving! Dad, let's eat!" Layla took her parents' hands and went downstairs."Is something troubling you, Layla?" Elliot asked. "Is it work?""No! I'm fine, Dad. My mind just wanders sometimes... I can't really put my fingers on what I'm really thinking even if you ask me.""A lot of people go through this phrase when they enter society after graduation. Don't worry," Avery said."I see. Eric gave us three tickets, right? Give three to Ben and Lilith and we will keep three for ourselves. Alright?" Elliot said."Tammy likes Eric, too." Avery remembered her best friend."Tammy already got tickets from Eric. I asked in the chat group, and Ben and Lilith are the only ones who haven't gotten tickets," Elliot said. "After the show, we can bring Robert

Mr. Woods had not expected his son to make such a request."Why are you so nice to her, Lucas? Are you into her?" Mr. Woods asked. "Forget the fact that she's an orphan, but just looks alone... Are you sure...""Why would you insult her?" Lucas suppressed his anger. "You slept with one woman after another out there. Considering how messed up your personal life is, who are you to ask me who I like?!""Why you!" Mr. Woods would have beaten him once again had Kasey not requested to see him. "I can leave you alone, but you are not to cross Ms. Bennett in any way! I will send someone to bring Irene back! Satisfied?""I don't care about what you say or promise. I will believe it when I see her," Lucas said before hopping out of bed.Mr. Woods was annoyed by Lucas' thug-like behavior, but he turned his focus on the blood stains on Lucas' shirt and said, "Have you put ointment on your back? Why don't I help you with that?""I told you to save it. Did you not understand me? Do as I say an
