"Do you think we believe you? You either pay us back the money or give us this bag!""Sir, no, I bought this for Mr. Lucas. Sir, I'm now working for the Woods family. Mrs. Woods has said that she will double my pay. When I receive my pay next month, I'll give it all to you." Irene hid the bag behind her. "The money I used to buy this jacket was given to me by Mr. Lucas. This isn't my money. I'm not lying to you.""Who on earth in the Woods family would want you as a servant? Don't you realize how ugly you are? You don't even know how to lie!" The man walked behind her and snatched her bag."Sir, if you don't believe me, you can follow me. I've almost reached my destination. Mr. Woods has brought his son home, and Mrs. Woods doesn't like him, so she got me to serve him," Irene said. "Sir, I can't lose this job. If I lose this job, I won't have the money to pay you back.""Irene, when your grandmother died, didn't she leave you anything valuable?" the man hissed. "She had been workin

"Who hurt you?""I'm fine." Irene did not want others to be affected by her negative emotions. She took the down jacket out of the bag."Mr. Lucas, I used the remaining money to buy you a down jacket. When you head out in the future, wear this!" She passed him the jacket. "I bought it with your money. You don't have to thank me.""I'm asking you who hurt you!" Lucas furrowed his brows. He threw the down jacket on the sofa, not even bothering to look at it. "Mr. Lucas, this is a private matter. It will not affect my job." Irene placed her bag down. She had intended to place it in the shoe cupboard. "Your grandmother is dead. Now you're alone. Other than work and study, what other private matters do you have?" Lucas looked at her bag and said, "Your bag is a little dirty today."That comment undid Irene. She bent down and covered her face. She cried, "They took away the bracelet that Grandma gave me. That was the only thing she left for me… Grandma said that the bracelet is n

Irene felt as if she had been showered with gifts. She happily nodded! "Mr. Lucas, thank you! Thank you for letting me have lessons with you!""Do you like having lessons that much?" Lucas looked at her.She flushed with delight. Her eyes sparkled once more."Yes!" said Irene. after giving the matter some careful thought, she said, "Actually, Mr. Lucas, I don't like going to lessons, but I want to go to college. Only by going to college can I find a better job. The only way I can support myself is if I were to get a good job." "Eat up." Lucas ended this heavy topic.Irene immediately headed to the kitchen to grab some utensils."Mr. Lucas, you treat me well," said Irene after a few she got a few spoons of food into her. "Other than Grandma, no one has ever treated me this well."Lucas was confused. "How am I treating you well?""You are allowing me to share your lessons, and you share your food with me. No one has ever invited me to eat with them," said Irene, listing out th

"Mr. Lucas, why aren't you wearing your pants?" Irene blushed and turned around. "I'll go get you your pants. Get up quickly. Don't make the tutor wait for you."Ten minutes later, Irene pulled Lucas out of his room. The tutor looked at them tugging at each other and furrowed his brows.However, looking at the scar on Irene's face, his brows relaxed."Sir, I would like to speak to you alone," Lucas said to the tutor.The tutor nodded and followed Lucas to the side. About 15 minutes later, they had both finished talking. The tutor furrowed his brows a little and walked over to Irene."Let's begin!"Irene was stunned for a while and looked at Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, come and join the lessons!""Go. Show me your notes after the lesson. Stop talking. The tutor is paid by the hour," said Lucas as he settled himself on the sofa. He began scrolling through his phone. "You two have your lessons in another room. Don't disturb me."Irene was speechless.The tutor said, "Irene, let's go!"Ir

Lucas noticed Irene's disappointment. His damned compassion prompted him to give her an explanation. "Once you enter college, you can get a job near the mansion. The classes in college are much harder than in high school. If you continue studying by yourself, aren't you afraid that you won't graduate?"Irene nodded seriously. "Mr. Lucas, you're right, but why don't you take the lessons with me? Aren't you trying to get into college too? If we can get into the same college, then I can continue taking care of you.""You sure can dream." Lucas doused her dream. "Do you really want to continue as a servant for the Woods family?""A job is a job. If I could study, care for you, and earn money at the same time, how wonderful that would be!" Irene was afraid that he might misunderstand her, so she added, "Mr. Lucas, I'm not doing this because I want your family's money. I… like spending time with you. You don't bully me. You even treat me quite well."Lucas was feeling a little hot from h

"Oh…" Irene said in reflex. After responding, she blushed.If her belongings were taken in the future, and if she were to call him, would he help her?She took her bag and left quickly. Lucas looked at the trash in the bin. He was hesitating whether to call her back or not. In those few seconds of hesitating, she vanished from his sight.…Once Irene returned home, after her shower, she got in her bed and picked up the photo frame by her bed.The photo frame was a photo of her and her grandmother. It was taken when she was 16 years old. She insisted her photo be taken at a photo parlor.In the photo, the old woman smiled demurely because she rarely faced the camera."Grandma, they took your bracelet but don't worry. Once I return the money to them, I'll get them to give the bracelet back," Irene said to the old woman in the photo. "Grandma, I'm doing well right now. Don't worry about me. Mr. Lucas is a nice person. I'm lucky that I got to meet him. I will work hard and study wel
Chapter 2512
Eric looked at Layla. Layla's face had not changed much from when she was a teenager. Only now, it had a touch of maturity. However, Eric knew that Layla was not that mature. This was because Layla had always stayed with her parents, so she had always been under their protection. She was a true heiress living a pampered life.A person like her would have a more innocent character. At the same time, her ability to face challenges would be worse than an ordinary person's."Are your parents urging you to find someone already?" Eric asked. "I doubt your father would want you to find someone, right?""Dad hopes that I will stay single forever," laughed Layla. "You know what type of a person he is. He thinks that the greatest men in the world are all in our family. Outside men are inferior, and so, he hopes that I will never enter into a relationship or get married. He thinks men will hurt me."Eric smiled. "It's not strange for your father to have that thought. If I have a daughter

"You and I are not in the same circle, but I get along well with you!"Eric was speechless.Layla continued, "Will you look for a girlfriend once you've retired? Your parents must be worried to death.""They are alright. They have passed the worrying phase.""Then, what do you think? Are you against marriage?""I have no thoughts, maybe I might seriously think about it after I retire.""Oh. So you're not against marriage. People who are against marriage are very firm in their beliefs."Eric's phone rang. It was from his manager."Layla, I have to go." Eric hung up the call and said to Layla, "I'll ask your mother out as well once I'm free. We can have a meal together.""Okay then! Go! Put on your mask and stay safe!" Layla placed her utensils down. She wanted to send him off."Just eat! You don't have to send me off." Eric put on his mask and left the restaurant with his bodyguard.Layla watched as his figure vanished into the distance. She slowly drifted back to reality.
