"Oh... Lucas, which university are you aiming for? Why don't you go to Turlington University? That way, we will be studying at the same university!" Kasey suggested enthusiastically."Did you get in by your own merit?"Irene had told him the academic requirements required to be accepted into Turling University were extremely high. Kasey's smile froze in place, and Mr. Woods' heart threatened to give out when he heard Lucas' question. He desperately wished that Lucas could just remain quiet if he did not know what to say."No. I am really bad at studying. My dad donated a library to Turlington University, and I got an offer as a result," she said before picking up her glass to take a sip. "What about you? How are your studies?""Same as you. I can't get into Turlington University. Our family isn't as wealthy and can't donate a library."Kasey burst into laughter. "Your family isn't wealthy? Seriously?""Hahaha! Lucas has just returned home to us, and he doesn't really know much

An hour later, Lucas saw Kasey out of the house. The silver car disappeared into the distance as soon as she got inside the car, and Lucas returned to the South Block, halting when he spotted Irene standing dazedly in the yard.The snow was brief and light, but there was already a thin layer of snow on Irene's head and shoulders."What are you doing?!" He reached out to clear the snow on her head. "Isn't it cold out here?"She sobered and said, "Mr. Lucas, I saw Ms. Bennett. She is so pretty.""Did you stand here the entire time because you wanted to see her?" He dragged her back into the house."Not entirely... You are having dinner in the main block tonight, so I didn't have to make dinner. I got bored!" Her face and nose were red from the cold, and her skin began to itch once they went indoors."You are so stupid!" He studied her face and cursed, immediately regretting his words as soon as they left his lips. "If you catch a cold, who is going to take care of me?"She grinned

As soon as Irene left, Mr. Woods came inside and Lucas's brow twitched at the sight of his father."Lucas, I heard every word you said to Irene just now. I was being narrow," Mr. Woods said. "Your stepmother poisoned your dog, so you transferred all the feelings you had for that dog to Irene. Don't worry. I won't chase her out again.""What about the tutor?""I will ask the tutor to continue giving her lessons, but you will need to befriend Kasey. She really likes you, and if you get to date her—""She just wants to have fun. She won't marry me. I thought you knew that," Lucas sneered. "You know her family is out of our league, and they know it, too.""Haha! That's fine! Just get close to her and others will never bully you. That way, I won't have to apologize to the Shaw family as well." Mr. Woods studied his son's face. "You aren't good with studying, and that's fine by me, but you need to utilize your advantage and that should guarantee you a great wife in the future.""My adv

Chapter 2536

At four in the afternoon, the show started.The stadium could hold twenty thousand people, and almost every single seat was occupied. Everyone was holding red neon boards.Though Eric's agency did not announce that this would be the last live show of Eric's career, a small group of people still caught the news.After Eric finished performing his first song on stage, the audience erupted into deafening cheers, and Elliot felt as though his eardrums were about to break.He glanced at his family sheepishly, and Avery, who knew that he was afraid of noises, immediately pulled out sound-canceling earmuffs from her purse and put them on Elliot."You are the best, Honey." Elliot felt more at ease."I shouldn't have brought you along," Avery said in resignation."This is just right, Avery. I can hear very little with these.""You are definitely the first person to ever wear sound-canceling earmuffs to a concert." She chuckled."I wanted to be here with you and Layla. Besides, I'm kind

"Throughout the years you've known me, I've always been absorbed in my work and so has she... Oh, I guess I can tell you that she's a doctor," Eric said, before turning his head to signal the staff to start the music.Instantly, the prelude of 'Goodbye' began, and Avery stole a nervous glance at Layla.Layla was shaken and simply stared at the stage in confusion with a frown on her face."Honey, who's Eric's girlfriend?" Elliot had never heard of any mention of Eric's girlfriend."I don't know! He didn't say anything to me.""Oh... Layla, what's wrong?" Elliot noticed the odd look on his daughter's face."Don't ask," Avery said before taking Layla's hands. "Layla, why don't we head home?"Despite the piercing pain in her heart, Layla knew exactly where she was. Not only were her parents next to her, their family friends, and others were around as well. If she lost control, she would embarrass herself and her parents."I'm fine, Mom. It's the last song. Let's listen to it." Layl

"Thank you," Eric said. "There will be dinner later. If it's okay with all of you, we can all go together."Avery glanced at Layla, and without another word, Layla turned and left.Avery and Elliot hurried after her."What's going on?" Ben mumbled. "Eric, are you and Layla fighting?""I'm sorry," Eric said apologetically."She was fine on the way here, and she knew that this was going to be your last concert. Is she angry at you all of a sudden because you started dating?" Ben was smart enough to figure it out on his own."I didn't want to upset her, Mr. Schaffer, but I can't help it," Eric said with resignation."I get it! Go ahead and celebrate!" Ben figured out the truth and left.Once they arrived home, Layla shut herself inside her room.Elliot stared at the table filled with food. He did not have an appetite. "Avery, what on earth did Layla talk to you about the last time she dragged you into her room? Are you two hiding something from me? Eric found himself a girlfriend

Avery could not bring herself to nod when she saw the shaken look on Elliot's face."That happened on the day Layla called you into her room?" Elliot asked."Yeah. Elliot, Layla didn't dare tell you because she didn't want you to get mad, so you should know what to do, right?" Avery said.He breathed heavily and asked, "So what should I do? Avery, tell me."Avery felt troubled. "Just pretend that you don't know anything, alright? Don't go looking for trouble with Eric, and don't try to console Layla. If you go and talk to her, she will feel uncomfortable. The last thing she wants is for you to find out about this.""Am I really that scary?" Elliot struggled to pretend that he did not know anything.Since his daughter had refused to eat because of it, Elliot knew that he was going to lose sleep over it that night.He had spoiled and treasured his baby girl with all he had, and Eric had the audacity to reject her. "How dare that guy do this to my daughter?!" he thought to himsel

The smile on Irene's face disappeared. "Mr. Lucas, I'm done."She did not know Sam all that well, as he had been overseas the entire time and though he would occasionally return home during holidays, he had only come back once a year ever since he entered university.Before Lucas was brought back into the fold of the Woods family, Sam was the one member of the family who was willing to speak to Irene. She usually kept to the back kitchen, and Sam would often enter the kitchen to talk to her."Are you that scared of him, Irene?" Sam sat down on the couch. "Is he mistreating you? I can talk to Father...""Don't say that Mr. Sam. Mr. Lucas has treated me kindly." Irene realized that Sam was trying to divide her and Lucas. Since Lucas was hot-tempered, she did not want to be the person to trigger a fight between the two siblings."Is that so?" he asked suspiciously before turning to look at Lucas. "I heard that you are on bad terms with stepmother and that you had beaten up the second

"Who gave you permission to cook for him as well?" asked Lucas the moment he looked at the food. "Mr. Lucas, I only cooked the portion I usually do," she said gingerly."Send the food to my room," he commanded not wanting to give Sam the chance to eat with him.Not daring to disobey, Irene immediately placed the food onto a tray and started walking toward Lucas's room.Sam had not expected Lucas to go to such lengths to avoid him. Not only was Lucas hot-tempered and selfish, but it looked like he was not all that bright either, or he would not have caused Irene this much trouble. To top it all off, Lucas was also refusing to eat with him.After this interaction, the two siblings had become enemies.Sam stormed out, and when Irene heard the front door slam shut, she opened the door to Lucas' room. "Mr. Lucas, Mr. Sam is gone. Let's just go back to the dining room to eat, or your room is going to smell like food!" she said before hurrying back to the dining room with the food.Ir

Chapter 2542

When Robert was in Bridgedale, Hayden had taken Robert on a tour around the company and introduced Robert to his employees."The guys around Hayden aren't that old, and I recall seeing a few handsome guys, too," he said. "Sis, why don't you ask Hayden to show you their photos? Maybe you will like them."Layla did not want to continue the subject and turned to her older brother. "Hayden, do you hate women that much? You didn't have to hire only men, did you?""Don't listen to him," Hayden said not wanting to alert his parents. "I am not the one who hired them.""Then there is an issue with your HR. Why are they only hiring men? What are they plotting?" asked Layla."My HR manager is a woman," Hayden said, "don't listen to Robert."Layla turned to look at Robert. "Robert, you look slimmer, too! Is it from fixing cars?"Robert rubbed at his face and muttered, "... Maybe! But I'm certain that I didn't lose as much weight as you.""It's just because I'm tired from working." Layla re
