Three days later.
Lucas had wrapped up affairs in Arthur Town; now, it was time to dispatch others to finalize the assessment and prepare for signing the investment deal. His presence was no longer required here. They departed for Cloudflare City.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
The bodyguard placed Aveline's suitcase in the car. Lucas took her hand. "What are you thinking about?"
Aveline glanced at their clasped hands but said nothing. Lucas looked at her for a moment before helping her into the car.
Just as they left Arthur Town, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID,
expression grew colder.
It was a call from Rebecca.
"Hello?" he answered, his tone noticeably icy.
his
"Lucas, I'm leaving the country. Do you want to see me off?" Rebecca's voice came through.
All this time, Rebecca had not apologized to Aveline.
Through his business dealings, Lucas had taken direct measures to sanction the Johnson family, leaving them in dire straits. Unable to oppose his daughter's wishes, Reynold had to send her abroad and humble himself to seek Lucas's mercy.
Lucas' voice grew even colder. "It seems the Johnson family's situation doesn't affect you much."
Rebecca's voice became tearful. "Lucas, why are you so heartless? I like you so much, yet you're targeting my family for that woman. Our family helped you back then!"
Lucas replied indifferently, "So?"
Rebecca choked up. Over time, she had come to realize that Lucas was indeed a cold-hearted person. He was truly heartless!
Sniffling, Rebecca continued, "So you can't treat our family like this. Lucas, please stop. I'm going abroad and won't bother you anymore."
Lucas responded coldly, "Did you do what I asked you to?"
Rebecca's voice suddenly turned sharp. "I will never apologize to that bitch!"
With that, she hung up abruptly.
Lucas' face darkened instantly as if a storm cloud had settled over him. The tension inside the car grew palpable.
Aveline sat beside Lucas.
Even though he was using the handset, she could still hear the conversation. She lowered her gaze slightly, her expression calm.
She finally understood how it would be to have the backing of a family. It appeared anyone could act recklessly when surrounded by the love of their parents. So, this was what having a family meant. Aveline experienced a moment of disorientation.
Suddenly, a strong curiosity about her own parents overwhelmed her. She yearned to know what they were like.
Unfortunately, with Hilda's disappearance, that lead was now lost.
Aveline glanced at her ticket. It was business class, right next to Lucas.
But she didn't want to sit with him, so she got up and moved to economy class. She swapped seats with a beautiful woman, who happily took the business class seat.
When Lucas saw a strange woman sitting in Aveline's seat, his handsome face darkened immediately. "Where is the person who was supposed to be here?"
The woman blushed at the sight of such a handsome man and said, ' She swapped seats with me."!
Lucas' expression turned even colder,
Did she really not want to sit with him that much? To the point where she moved to economy class to avoid him?
Seeing his sudden cold expression and the surrounding temperature seeming to drop, the woman quickly averted her gaze, not daring to continue the conversation. Despite this, she could still feel the chill emanating from him.
