"Wh-what?" Barley stuttered as he heard Lucas' words.The curly-haired man wondered how Lucas could ask him to tell him the original price of the car repair when Lora had just told him to give a lower price and for him, $1,000 was already the cheapest repair price.However, Barley had initially thought that Lucas was shameless for asking for a discount on the car repair price, which was much cheaper than the earlier price."Ah, Lucas." Lora approached Lucas with a puzzled face. "Why are you saying that? Didn't he say that the repair price was 1000 dollars? And... that's the real price. It's probably much cheaper than that."Barley immediately shot a sharp glance at Lora, which the woman returned even sharper. Now, they were looking at each other sharply as if communicating through gaze. Lora cursed Barley in her heart, as did the curly-haired man, who was annoyed that 1000 dollars was more than enough to bring down the high price of repairs."Yes, he's right." Barley pointed at Lora.
Lucas nodded and didn't show any facial expression that objected or was surprised by it because he also knew that the price of car repairs was costly. So, it would only naturally cost hundreds of thousands of dollars."Alright, I'll pay for it." Calmly, Lucas said it, but on the other hand, Lora felt doubtful."Lucas, you're not seriously going to pay for it, are you?" Lora frowned in disbelief at what the man said.Lora didn't want to offend Lucas, but she didn't want to confuse Lucas about paying such a large repair fee."I'm serious." Lucas gave a small smile with an unchanged expression on his face."Lucas, don't go overboard like that. It's costly, you know, right? 250 thousand dollars." Lora held Lucas's hand. "You don't need to spend that much money. I can help you pay for it, Lucas." She raised one hand with a face that looked full of anxiety. "Besides, it's also about me."Lora lowered her face, showing her guilt towards Lucas. If only Andrew hadn't bothered Lucas, maybe this
Lucas was back home. He put the car in the trunk, got out of the car, and looked at the damage.Lucas had a clear memory of what the car looked like before it was damaged, and after it was repaired, there was no difference, which meant the mechanics had done a good job."The result is good. It doesn't look like a car that's been damaged." Lucas was quite happy that Lora had introduced him to such great mechanics.Lucas rushed into the house, where the servants warmly welcomed him. At the same time, he met Chris."Master." Chris approached him, always bowing his head respectfully. "What a coincidence that you're home. Master Louis would like to see you in his study."Lucas nodded, then handed the car keys to Chris's hand, heading immediately to the study to meet his twin brother.The door to the study was open, so Lucas decided to go inside. He saw Louis focused on checking a file on the desk, looking so serious that he almost wouldn't have noticed Lucas' arrival if Lucas hadn't cleare
Louis was quite surprised that his twin brother's ability was truly extraordinary. Even though he gave three thick documents with many sheets of data on the people there in full, Lucas could memorize everything in just two hours."Wow, amazing." Louis raised both eyebrows. "I probably won't train to doubt your ability. Well done." He nodded. "Then, hurry up, rest, and get ready to go there tomorrow."Lucas nodded. He obeyed his twin brother's words and then walked out of Louis' room, leaving the man to take his medicine and get some rest.The next morning, Lucas woke up with a slightly sore body. He stretched his muscles, then hurried to clean up and prepare for Louis' assignment.After getting dressed, Lucas walked out of the room and was greeted warmly by the servants, especially by Chris."Good morning, Master." Chris bowed his head, greeting Lucas. "Mr. Louis is waiting for you in the dining room."Lucas nodded. He immediately approached his twin brother and had breakfast while ta
Lucas looked at the woman. "No, no, no. I have business here."Alicia's brow furrowed, looking at Lucas with her head tilted slightly to the right. "Are you sure?" She scrutinized Lucas' face closely. "Either you're mistaken, or you've been following me since the plane, huh?"Alicia raised the volume of her voice, still annoyed and upset by the incident on the plane. She felt that their meeting was a coincidence and that he was following her. Lucas, however, ignored her, walking past her first, which annoyed Alicia."Hey, I'm not done talking to you yet." Alicia followed Lucas from behind. "You know what, I've never seen you here. So, it's only natural that I should be suspicious of you."Alicia was friendly, whereas before, she had been rude and accused Lucas of following her. Although her words were still a little snappy, they entered the hotel together.Lucas glanced at Alicia, casually responding to Alicia's words. "Do you stay here every day?""No, but I stay here often." Alicia
"Get out of here!" Alicia raised her hand, telling Lucas to get out of there in a loud and forceful tone.Lucas looked at the woman with a colder look than before. "If you interfere with your father's work, he might get into trouble."Suddenly, Lucas' words made Alicia's eyebrows knit together. "Trouble?" Alicia chuckled as she folded her arms across her chest. "What trouble are you talking about, huh? My father is a great, great businessman. He's extraordinary, and people respect him. No one can do anything to him. Especially you!" He pointed at Noah's face in a loud voice. "You can't do anything to my father. Who are you anyway?"Alicia had met many of her father's clients over the years, and every time they met, they were always respectful of Smith. That's why Alicia was so confident that no one would do anything bad to her father, including Lucas, who didn't even look like a great man. "You might regret it later because your father lost his valuable job." Lucas put a little empha
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,
Of course, what Lucas had just said took Smith by surprise, and he immediately looked at Alicia with a deeply furrowed brow. "Is that true?"Alicia nodded her head. "Yes, Father. It's true." She still felt no guilt about what she had done earlier. "He has underestimated my business prowess." He raised his eyebrows arrogantly at Lucas. "She said I would get into trouble and probably lose my job."Alicia laughed, remembering her earlier conversation with Lucas. She now thought that her father would be very proud and that what he wanted would be easily obtainable because he had saved her father's business from a fraudster like Lucas."He also threatened you earlier, saying you would lose your contract with him. Isn't that very funny? Cooperation with him isn't a big influence on your business, is it? So I just kicked him out because he's not important and has been bothering me since he followed me here." Alicia tried to provoke her father about how she felt about Lucas. "I'm sure he's ju
