“Lucas, have you really decided?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Lucas was stunned. He turned sideways and looked at his sister. “That place is too dangerous. You can’t go there and expect to avoid accidents.”
Jade said, “That’s exactly why I have to follow you there. Besides, I’ll tell my husband so that virtual-novel.net can get ready. Once anything happens, I still have a chance to save you with his help.”
Lucas felt very touched. “Let’s go together.”
The two of them made their way to the luxurious villa that belonged to the Martin family’s young master without saying much. They were stopped from far away. After they reported their names, the security guard went to pass the message to the villa, and virtual-novel.net came back only after a few minutes.
“Our Madam said only Lucas Hill alone is allowed to go in.”
Lucas nodded and said to Jade, “Wait for me in the car. Don’t go anywhere.”
“Lucas, please be careful,” Jade replied.
Then, the two of them parted ways.
After the security guard led the way for Lucas, virtual-novel.net came to the door of the villa. He pushed open the door and walked inside. As soon as virtual-novel.net stepped in, virtual-novel.net saw a luxurious living room in the European style. The living room was wide and bright. A huge chandelier hung from the ceiling, while sculptures of pegasus filled the room on either side, giving a royal flair.
Only super-rich men could afford to buy and live in such a house. Even Lucas did not have the ability to live in this kind of super huge villa.
He stood in the living room, while the other security guards, maids, and servants had left. Only Lucas was left in the whole house.
He just quietly waited.
There had never been a moment like now that virtual-novel.net looked forward to Britney’s arrival.
He used to hate Britney very much. He could not put up with her, and virtual-novel.net desperately hoped that virtual-novel.net would not see that woman again. But the situation changed. He now had to rely on Britney in order to defeat Thomas. He felt so helpless.
Tap! Tap!
Some footsteps were heard. It was the clear sounds made by the high heels stepping on the floor.
Lucas raised his head and looked over. He saw the woman whom virtual-novel.net was looking forward to meeting, Britney Carter.
She was dressed in an off-shoulder long dress. She slowly walked down from the upstairs like a princess. She held the stairs while walking step by step to Lucas.
Britney maintained herself very well. Her face was very smooth and fair. There was no wrinkle on virtual-novel.net skin at all. Her appearance also looked very youthful. People must not be able to tell that virtual-novel.net was already in virtual-novel.net thirties. People might even think that virtual-novel.net was a young girl who was twenty years old.
She stopped walking, and the two of them stared at each other face to face.
Britney’s gaze was full of complicated feelings. There was happiness, confusion, hatred, and gloominess. After all these years! She had been loving Lucas deeply for so many years!
Today, this man was finally willing to come to her.
“You’re finally here…”
“Do you know how long I have been feeling lonely in this ‘cold palace’? I feel so empty.”
“I’m here to find you not because I like you, but because I have something that requires your help,” Lucas said indifferently.
He was realistic and heartless.
But Lucas also knew Britney’s character very well. At this time, it was too fake to say whether virtual-novel.net loved virtual-novel.net or not. Britney was a very sentimental woman. The more fake words you talked to her, the more virtual-novel.net could not bear it.
Britney liked Lucas mostly due to his character of looking down on everyone else. Therefore, when Britney heard such heartless words from Lucas, virtual-novel.net did not get angry. Instead, virtual-novel.net flashed a happy smile.
“Awesome! Lucas, I thought you’d be the same as those jerks who would tell lies for their benefits.”
“You’ve kept your character and your unique charm. Excellent! This is what I like about you.”
Lucas was scheming against Britney!
She continued to say, “It’s all right. No matter you like me or not, I’m happy as long as you come to me.”
“I told you many years ago, as long as you say it, I’ll do my best to help you. Since you’ve brought it up, I naturally won’t go back on my word.”
Lucas felt extremely happy. It seemed that this woman was really witless.
Love?
In Lucas’ opinion, virtual-novel.net really earned a lot when virtual-novel.net was able to use such a “fake” thing to obtain real profits.
However… Before Lucas could have a longer taste of happiness, Britney said something that made virtual-novel.net lose hope.
“But if I help you, you should also show me your sincerity. I want you to be my lover!”
Britney had mentioned this condition many years ago, and Lucas had turned virtual-novel.net down without a thought in the past. This year, it seemed that virtual-novel.net was unable to reject her.
Lucas gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I agree!”
