Chapter 2517
Besides, Elliot did not want to go and see Eric show off like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. He had not forgotten that Eric had confessed to Avery many years ago, and he had not forgotten that his precious daughter had said many things that had given him a headache. Things like her wanting to marry Eric. However, despite telling them that he did not want to go, neither Avery nor Layla changed their stance. "How many tickets did Eric give you?" Elliot asked."He hasn't given me any tickets yet! Maybe he will give it to Layla! He told Layla about this." Avery was scrolling through the news related to Eric's concert. "The internet says that his concert tickets are hard to get!""It's just hunger marketing!" Elliot said calmly."Since you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself. At least you won't be unhappy that way," said Avery. " I still don't understand why you can't get along with Eric. Back then, you didn't want Eric to get close to Layla, so he no longer

Layla looked at his reply. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. She could feel how accommodating and indulgent Eric was.However, she understood her feelings clearly. No matter who Eric introduced to her, she would not like them.She placed her phone down, wanting to calm down a little. She entered the bathroom, picked up the hairdryer, and blew her hair dry.While drying her hair, an idea came to her. Why not just confess her feelings to Eric and see what his reaction is?Anyway, he was about to retire. Once he retires, he will be a normal person. By then, he can enter into a relationship with whoever he wants…Even after she was done blow-drying her hair, she could not seem to think of anything else. She stores her hairdryer, walked to her phone, and picked it up once more. She sent Eric a message, [Why don't you be my boyfriend?]After sending the message, Layla's fingers turned numb. She threw the phone on the bed and covered her face. She did not dare imagine what Eri

However, Layla did not like the idea of giving up. At a restaurant in Taronia, the food that Lucas had ordered arrived, and they dug in."Mr. Lucas, did your father say when he was coming back?" Irene felt full after having a little food. She did not have a large appetite. Her meals weren't large. "Do you want to see him?" Lucas asked. He had never paid any attention to them before. Whether they were out on a holiday or returning home, it had nothing to do with him."I feel relaxed when they are not around. You don't have to worry about Mrs. Woods targeting you. You also don't have to worry about other things happening." Irene put on some plastic gloves. "Mr. Lucas, let me deshell the shrimps for you!""Are you not eating?" Lucas saw that Irene had put her cutlery down. He suddenly did not have an appetite, too."I'm full," Irene said with a smile. "I have a small appetite.""You sure do," Lucas teased. "Look at how small you are, like a bean sprout.""I'm not a bean sprout.

The restaurant was filled with screams and the miserable wailing emanating from Frankie. When Frankie's friends saw the chair come down on their friend, they immediately rushed to his side. When Irene saw them coming, she immediately ran over to Lucas and tugged at him. "Mr. Lucas, run! They are quite a large group!"Lucas had already beaten Frankie to the ground.After Irene's warming, he looked at the group of people. Without thinking, he threw the chair at them. "Mr. Lucas, let's go!" After Lucas threw the chair, Irene pulled him out of the restaurant.Coming out of the restaurant, they ran for quite a bit before Irene hailed a taxi.Once they were in the taxi, they let out a sigh of relief."Mr. Lucas, are you hurt?" Irene grabbed Lucas' hand and checked to see if he had any injuries under the dim light.Thankfully, Lucas did not have any obvious injuries other than his hand being a little red."I'm fine." Lucas retracted his hand. He looked at her. "Did you take all y

Lucas did not know that her scar was a prosthetic that had been glued on. When the thug had kissed her face, she had not felt anything. However, even so, that did not change the fact that the thug had assaulted her. "Mr. Lucas, thank you for helping me. You've always been helping me. I don't even know how to thank you. We agreed that I'll be the one buying you dinner today, but in the end, I still caused you trouble." Irene looked at Lucas and said gratefully, "Don't worry. If your father asks about this, I'll certainly provide him with a clear explanation.""Has it ever occurred to you that my father would not want to speak to you at all?" Lucas poked fun at her. "Since the incident already happened, don't think about it so much. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."Soon, they arrived at the police station.After they told the police what had happened, the police immediately sent someone to the restaurant.Not long after, the police brought Frankie's friend back to

The room was dim, and Irene could hear the faint sounds of a combat video game. "Mr. Lucas, why are you still awake?" Irene looked at Lucas, who was playing his game while lying on his stomach on the bed, and she was very confused. "Your father might be returning today—""He returned last night," said Lucas lazily. "Don't worry. It's all over now."Irene stared at him in disbelief. She approached him. "Your father was not angry?""What's it got to do with me whether he's angry or not?" Lucas' tone was calm, and he said, "I'm hungry. Go make me some pasta." "Alright. I'll make it right away." Irene did not realize what was different about Lucas.After she left his bedroom, she immediately went to the kitchen to make him some pasta.Ten minutes later, she entered the bedroom with a bowl of fresh pasta and placed it on his nightstand."Mr. Lucas, why didn't you close the door? You'll usually close the door when you're in your room.""I didn't close it simply because I'm too laz

"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

Irene instantly began to cry. She had never thought that she would lose her job. Other than crying over her job which she needed to survive, she also cried because she would miss Lucas a little. Apart from her grandmother, Lucas was the person who treated her the best. If she was no longer working for the Woods family, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to see Lucas. She would lose him just like she lost her best friend Rose.At that thought, she could no longer contain her tears."Take her away!" Mrs. Woods no longer wanted to see Irene, so she barked at the butler.The butler immediately went forward and tugged Irene's arm, taking her away.The butler led Irene to the back door and said to her, "Irene, I know Mr. Lucas treats you well, but you don't know your place. He is the master, and you are the servant. How could you think yourself his friend? You shouldn't have treated him to a meal. You still have so much debt. Did you really think that by treating him t
