"He is just so unappreciative. It's rare enough that Kasey expresses interest in him, and he just ignores her. I would be over the moon if Kasey was interested in Noah." Mrs. Woods rolled her eyes. "Which university are you sending Lucas to? Turlington University?""I've contacted Turlington University, and it's not impossible to get Lucas in, but he will have to do so under a sports scholarship, and he might be reluctant to do so. After all, that means that he will need to go for training.""You sure care a lot about this son of yours!" Mrs. Woods said sarcastically. "Outside this family, he is a nobody, so I don't know why you are acting so carefully around him. Kasey Bennett is just having fun with the boy. I mean, she looks like the typical playgirl.""I'm not scared of him if that is what you are insinuating. He has recently been brought into this family and hasn't gotten used to everything..." Mr. Woods argued."He's been back for almost half a year and he still hasn't gotten

Irene had thought that he would remain in his room like he usually did, but he walked out carrying a black backpack."Mr. Lucas, are you going out?" She set the bowl down and walked toward Lucas.Lucas did not stop. He exited the front door. She had no clue as to where he was going.She stood by the door and watched as Lucas got into a car. The car drove off, vanishing into the distance, and she stared at it till it disappeared from sight. She felt that she and Lucas were heading down very different paths as she watched the car vanish from sight. She stood there, feeling the wind brush against her, then she returned to the kitchen, washed the dishes, and left for the Main Block's kitchen since she did not know if Lucas would come home for lunch.Lucas had completely shut her off, and their interaction was so limited that even normal employers would communicate with their servants more often."Mrs. Flores, let me help you with that!""Is Mr. Lucas out? I heard that he is traveli

Irene placed a basin of water before Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, the things I said to Mr. Sam… they were not true. You know how people say things they don't mean when they are angry. I think that as long as you work hard, you won't be worse than Mr. Noah or Mr. Sam."Lucas finished washing his hands. He said coolly, "I don't care about your opinions on any of us.""That's good. Mr. Lucas, you should be like that. Just focus on your studies. Don't care about what other people say." Irene placed the basin aside and spooned some soup into a bowl for Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, you have to eat more. If you don't, I'll be embarrassed to take my pay."Lucas was speechless.Cooking a single meal was indeed easy work. Lucas did not have a huge appetite. Usually, Irene only needed to cook up two dishes and a soup."Mr. Lucas, are you good in foreign languages?" Irene asked when he had finished his food and began drinking his soup. "If you're going to Edelweiss, you have to learn their language."Lucas

Layla said, "Dad, we haven't spoken about marriage yet! I just find him interesting. I want to get to know him better. Even if we don't end up together, being friends isn't too bad either. You all wanted me to get to know more boys, right?"Avery said, "I support you. Nothing bad could come out of getting to know more motivated friends."Elliot said, "Layla, you have to make sure to stay safe. Make sure you keep your bodyguards with you when you leave to meet him. You cannot go alone, let alone meet with him at night. Before you see him, let me know."Avery was speechless.Layla said, "Dad, I know. I'll get Robert to accompany me!"Elliot said, "Robert is slightly weaker. If anything were to happen to you. I don't think he can protect you. It's better that you take the bodyguards along."Layla was speechless. After having her meal, she left.When Avery saw that Layla had left, she said to Elliot, "Eric is preparing to go to a university to be a music professor. Before he started

Was it Sam? He had told her a few times that he would pay her debts…Irene's heart was beating fast. She sent a message with trembling hands, [Who paid my debt? I didn't know about this!][I didn't ask! As long as my money has been returned, I don't care who does it!]Irene panicked. She immediately exited the classroom with her phone and called Mr. Swen."Mr. Swen, please help me find out who transferred the money to you! I beg you, please!" Irene pleaded."Okay, okay! I'll have a look." Mr. Swen opened his bank app and looked at the transfer details before tutting. "It's someone from the Woods family! Irene, I never thought that you would be that amazing! You're so ugly, yet you managed to get someone from the Woods family to repay your debt!"Irene's suspended heart finally landed.She had never thought that Sam would have really repaid her debts. She did not know how he had found out that she owed Mr. Swen money.Irene's mind was spinning. She said, "Mr. Swen, when was
