Clara’s gaze was forward, staring without blinking. She still couldn’t believe that Lucas was in the mansion, and worst of all, he was the one making the offer. She hadn’t believed that the other man was the tycoon, just like the way Jessica and Morgan had believed. She had this feeling that Lucas had somehow gotten wealthy all of a sudden, and worst of all, his offer—the offer of her being his servant—was just so absurd.“Clara… as I have told you before… you are not his servant, he is just representing the other man there. Lucas is just his apprentice. Don’t be fooled. Agree and sign the goddamn document so we can get over this.”Jessica leaned closer to Clara’s ear as she whispered those words.It was just a step away for her to get 1.5 billion, and she wasn’t going to let that slide away from her fingers while she had what it takes to break Clara.Clara was still thinking deeply about it. Not only was Lucas here, but he was with the same man she had seen him with the other day. Wh

Clara’s eyes locked onto Lucas, still, and the only thing she could see was a warm smile, though that smile contained something enigmatic she still couldn’t figure out.Morgan chuckled, leaned both hands on the table, before asking, “So what next now? I guess we should head to the payment, right?”Morgan turned to Jessica after throwing the question to James, and Jessica, meeting his gaze, smiled with excitement and nodded.They had totally forgotten that the document Clara had signed wasn’t aligned with the main deal, which meant for the company, another signing had to be done, and the aspect of the document that would be signed was with them.“Not so fast. We haven’t signed your own documents from your company that will guarantee us ownership,” James cut in with his voice.“Oooh, I forgot…” Jessica laughed, but then she cracked her voice and continued. “We have to do it at once. You show us the money and we sign it, and don’t forget about what your negotiator said about doubling the

James upon seeing them stood from the chair, and when he gazed at Lucas, Lucas smiled then nodded.James shifted his gaze to Clara, and with a grin he did, politely gesturing his hands outside. "Shall we head out, my servant..."Clara forced a smile from her lips; those words were like a pin to her skin. She was once a very rich woman and now a servant, for someone she didn't even know. The only clue she had now was that he might be the son of Derick Storm, which seemed impossible to her, and the second clue was that he was hanging around with her loser husband, whom she kept blaming for the death of her daughter.Jessica waved at Clara a fairly goodbye as she walked alongside Lucas and James. She got outside the mansion, and James opened the car door for her to get in, and when she did, he gestured for Lucas to get in as well. And when Lucas did, James went over to the driver’s seat, sat, started the car, and began to drive.Clara was still trying to understand why James had done wh

Jessica tried her possible best to fake another smile, but she couldn’t because the tension was too much, and her hands holding the glass cup trembled.“Isn’t it nice… having you in my mansion? And Clara, you’re very lucky having a man like him. When did you guys start dating?”Jessica spoke with a shaky voice, then laughed, clearly faking it.Amelia chuckled with a smile, then shoved her hair to the side of her shoulders before speaking. “Thank you, Mum. And for your question, I met the man today, an hour ago. So approximately, we started dating an hour ago. I asked him out and he accepted, so I decided to show him to you. Isn’t he more handsome than Lucas?”Jessica was shocked when she heard what Amelia said. It was so foolish that she met a man just today and then started dating him. Worse of all, the man wasn’t looking like a normal, rational human—he looked more like a psychopath.Jessica faked a smile at Amelia, then stood and gestured for her to come with her. But before that,

Clara gazed around, and the view before her left her stunned. “Wow, this is amazing. So this is the house of Derick Storm. So for real, I’m actually working for the son of Derick Storm.”But when she realized she was going through this as his slave without even understanding what it meant, her smile faded.Still, I can’t let that ridiculous thing happen to me. The moment I understand the settings of this place, I won’t hesitate to leave. By the way, it was just a document I signed, so to hell with him.The thought crossed Clara’s mind as she let out a smile, but just then James’s voice cut in and snapped her out of her thoughts. “Welcome to the almighty Derick Storm mansion. Your duty will be assigned to you soon. Don’t worry—make yourself at home.”After James said these words, he turned and walked alongside Lucas into the mansion.Clara gazed around once more, and a smirk crept onto her lips. “Maybe, perhaps, I didn’t make the wrong choice accepting this offer.”She had never in her
