Lucas paused eating momentarily, his eyes staring past the table as if reminiscing some past memories.Tracy jabbed the spoon on her plate to grab the man's attention, secretly giving the maid a glare. “If you don't eat, your food will lose its warmth, Lucas.”As if he was swallowing a stone, the man's expression twisted slightly as he gulped down spoonfuls of the soup. “Young Master, I am very good at making omelets. Maybe I should make you a sandwich,” the maid went on, feeling guilty that her boss wasn't satisfied with the food.Oblivious that she was only fanning a particular flame, she spoke nonstop. “My sandwich may not be as good as the ones made by the former Madam, but I'll do my best.”Lucas was once again distracted. Eating the bland food, he couldn't help but lick his lips when he heard her mention Heidi's sandwich.“Can you please help me pour the soup?” Tracy had had enough, so she dragged the maid's attention.“Sure, Ma'am.” The maid walked forward and scooped the sou

…Sitting on a large couch, Heidi's eyes roamed around the large spacious living room.The morning light streamed through the curtains, cascading her delicate features in a soft glow. As her innocence-filled wide eyes wandered around, the masked men, who were standing in every corner of the room, stared at her cautiously.They gathered in one place and started whispering.“Maybe we should cover her eyes with something. I'm tired of wearing this mask,” said one of them. “She doesn't appear fearful. Is she up to something?” Another one pondered. “I wonder if she suspects who we are. If it was some other girl, she would be trembling in fear of being kidnapped by people like us.”“Too bad, the Master hasn't given any instructions yet. I really think we should get rid of her,” the last guy, who had been silent, spoke up. The other guys stared at him at the same time.“Are you crazy? Why do you keep bringing that up? If we get rid of her, what do you think the Young Master will do?”The

…After running for God knew how long, Heidi's energy was running out and exhaustion weighed down on her.Panting heavily, she didn't stop running, her eyes darting back now and then to see if the guy was still after her.Strangely, when she glanced back this time, his figure had disappeared and an empty wilderness spread behind her.Heidi stopped to catch her breath, holding her knees with both hands.Her heart pounded non-stop and sweat poured down her face.How was she going to get out of this place?Where was the way back to the city?Those same questions haunted her as her eyes roamed over the vast area.Well, it was already good that she wasn't anywhere near that Villa now.“Gotcha!”“Ah!”Someone jumped in front of her, causing Heidi to yelp.Seeing that it was the same guy from before, Heidi took several steps back.The back of her leg hit a tree branch, and she staggered and fell.The guy used that opportunity to pin her down instantly. He brought out a sharp knife and levele

Lucas's eyes lingered on her back until her figure disappeared. He sat there for a while, slightly stunned by Heidi's outburst. The fury he saw in her eyes… Heidi wasn't just bluffing that she would take Blake Harrison to the authorities.Where did that confidence come from?A few hours later…Inside the Harrison Mansion. Lucas sat on a couch in the living room of his quarters, and standing before him were twelve bodyguards whose heads were lowered. Among them was a wounded bodyguard whose head was wrapped in a thick cloth. With both arms spread on the couch's headrest and one leg placed atop the other one, the man exuded fury and dread, the suppressing atmosphere surrounding him suffocating the bodyguards.“You were trained to protect lives, but you've turned into criminals. I am highly disappointed.”His low tone filled with rage made the bodyguards shudder. They all knelt at once.“Young Master, please forgive us.”“You had the guts to hurt Heidi.” Lucas's dark eyes fell on the

“Why does Heidi seem to be in a bad mood, Grandpa?” Zach approached Grandpa Jeffrey, his eyes fixed upstairs.“How should I know?” Grandpa Jeffery sighed. “It's as if she doesn't want to talk. Well, the best thing is that she's back safe and sound.”“Damnit!” Zach shook his fist. “I'm going to make Lucas Harrison pay for this.”“Be quiet!” Harold stood up. “If you can't do anything to save AG Group, stop finding ways to bring it down. You've already made the GK Group our enemy, will you not rest until they completely crush AG Group?”“Dad, I told you to let Heidi join AG Group as its CEO,” Zach exclaimed. “To hell with GK Group, who said we're afraid of them?”“I've heard news that she can't even manage that small brand well. Is it the whole AG Group she can manage?” Harold hollered then said to Grandpa Jeffrey. “Dad, can you please put an end to Heidi's craziness?”“Grandpa, Heidi's only gonna cause more trouble. Please allow us to take our positions back,” Aiden pleaded.“If you wan
