Chapter 729



“Got it,” Belinda replied, opening the car door and stepping out.

Lucas watched her enter the house before he finally drove away.

The next day, in the reception room of the Triumph Consortium’s CEO’s office…

The door swung open, and two bodyguards roughly shoved a woman inside.

The woman stumbled forward, nearly losing her balance. Despite this, she kept her expression neutral, daring not to show any sign of defiance. She pulled back, shrinking like a frightened rabbit.

“Move!” One of the bodyguards gave her another shove.

Lucas was lounging casually on the sofa, one leg crossed over the other, exuding an air of effortless elegance. His posture alone commanded authority, and his sharp eyes betrayed no warmth as he looked at the woman. In a low, gravelly voice, he asked, “Do you know who I am?”

“I-I… You’re Mr. Clark!” Hailee stammered, swallowing hard as she tried to force the words out.

Lucas’ gaze remained fixed on her. “Then, do you know who Belinda is to me?”

Hailee’s voice quivered. “She… She’s your ex-wife.”

gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs․cøm is a world of wonder Lucas raised an eyebrow. His tone remained calm but firm as he said, “Not just that. She’s also the woman I’m pursuing now.”

Hailee’s face stiffened, her lips trembling.

What did Lucas mean by that?

She was sure Lucas hadn’t brought her here just to share that detail.

Lucas swiftly ended her uncertainty.

“However, yesterday, you scratched her neck. So, tell me… How do you think this matter should be handled?” he said.

His voice and demeanor were calm, as though discussing something trivial, but his sharp eyes locked onto Hailee with a chilling intensity, like a predator eyeing its prey.

Hailee stiffened. Her body went rigid, and her face drained of color.

She stuttered, “I-I’m so sorry, Mr. Clark! I didn’t mean to! It was… It was just a reflex! If I had known she was Ms. Wright, I swear I would never have hurt her!”

Lucas’ tone grew colder. “But you did hurt her. You’re quite bold, inflicting harm on her like that.”

Hailee’s face crumpled, on the verge of tears.

She couldn’t stop berating herself. Why had she acted so recklessly?

Desperately, she said, “I didn’t mean to do that! Mr. Clark, I know I was wrong. Please, just this once, spare me! I promise I will never do something like that again.”

Lucas let out a light chuckle, his voice icy. “Don’t worry. I am always lenient.”
