The woman folded her arms in front of her chest, showing pride. In her heart, she kept saying that what Lucas said would never happen because her father was such a great person."Ouch, you're such an annoying person." Alicia opened her voice again to mock Lucas. "If you just want to trick us, you're wrong. We won't easily believe you just because of that." Alicia chuckled. "Canceled the job, he said." She snorted in annoyance. "My father won't lose any jobs. What kind of work are you and Dad doing? Yes, my father is very good." She raised her hands proudly. "To the point that he's willing to accept a lowly job that's small and has no benefits from you, right?" She was still not finished there. Her eyebrows shot up. "And I'm sure you used that as an opportunity to get your hands on my father's estate because you're such a good con artist."Alicia didn't believe Lucas at all. Even her remarks towards him had gone so far as to make the receptionist and the hotel staff look at each other,

Alicia was shocked by what Smith had said. She was shocked to hear that because her father had always been gentle and kind. She had a close relationship with her father, but now he wasn't on her side at all, and she thought that meant he was extremely influential.Alicia's head was now spinning, remembering what she had said to Lucas, and the more she remembered, the more her head was spinning. She had said outrageous things to Lucas and had even insulted him severely.Alicia once again swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She stared at Lucas with quivering pupils, finally nodding and bowing in front of Lucas, unwilling to make matters even bigger."I'm sorry, sir," Alicia spoke softly with trembling lips. "I have done you a great wrong. My words earlier were too much. Please forgive me and do not cancel the cooperation with my father."The image in Alicia's head was now focused on the fate of her father's company. If her father lost such a valuable investor, it would also affect the

Of course, this surprised Alicia. Alicia immediately broke away from Lucas and wiped her dirty clothes with the ice cream."Yes, my goodness. It's so cold." Alicia looked at the person who had bumped into her and only saw him with a condescending look. "Don't you use those eyes of yours to see the road? How could you run into us when it's obvious that the road here is extensive."Alicia babbled out her frustration while Lucas took out a handkerchief from his pants pocket and gave it to Alicia.Alicia grabbed the handkerchief Lucas gave her and wiped it on her clothes. She looked at the man in front of her with annoyance. "Why did you just keep quiet instead of apologizing to me?""Ah." The man who had bumped into Alicia rolled his eyes as he sighed. "You still want me to apologize while you scold me like that."Alicia's brow furrowed deeply. "Oh, so what you're saying is that you don't want to apologize?" She lowered her hand, squeezed Lucas' handkerchief, and took a step closer to hi

"Wait here. The police will be here soon." Alicia looked at Lucas gently. The look in her eyes was so different from before.Lucas, who had been trapped in this situation, moved his shoulders a little and then improved his posture again. "I don't need to wait. This is your problem." Lucas moved to get out of there. Alicia held his hand. "Are you really okay? I'm really sorry about before."Lucas immediately put his hand away, with no change of expression at all. He still showed calmness because the problem here was not a problem. "Stop changing your attitude. We're not friends."This time Lucas really left her, he didn't have time for that. Even the sooner he left Alicia, the less he would have to get involved in the unpleasant matter later.Meanwhile, Alicia, standing where she was, continued to watch Lucas. Her heart was beating so high that she squeezed his right hand. "I think I like it." She smiled faintly. At that moment, Alicia found something new even though the chaos was

Lucas could sense the great fear of his friend. He was so agitated that he could not think clearly.Lucas looked further and looked at both of them straight on. "Why your grandmother?"It may seem annoying, but missing a bit of information can lead to bad things and not being able to know what's really going on. This was tough for Ryan, but the man knew the consequences.Ryan tried to calm himself down, he looked back at his friend and his eyes at that moment were glazed over. "My grandmother is sick, Lucas. I need to find a lot of money to give her good treatment."She exhaled and inhaled once more, she felt really uncomfortable, but she had talked about her problem. "I need to raise money. Did you know that I've been living with my grandmother?" He saw Lucas nod. At this moment, Ryan looked so miserable. "I don't want her to leave this world without me being able to do anything, Lucas."Suddenly, Lucas saw that Ryan's eyes were wet with fresh tears. The man was showing his weakness
