In despair, he shut his eyes. His father was right. A man like him did not deserve love.
She must be feeling happy that I’m not going back.
Lucas tried to force his way out of the cage, but it was made of the best steel. Moreover, he had not
been eating for what seemed to be quite a long while. Not only was he weak, but the dizziness was
overcoming him.
Misery settled itself deep in his heart.
Franklin wasn’t just locking him up, but he was also medicating Lucas to make sure his son stayed
sedated.
Otherwise, Lucas would not be feeling dizzy.
His consciousness slowly faded away.
Finally, he returned to the darkness of his mind.
In the living of the manor.
After her shower, Claire put on a set of pink pajamas before she ran to her parents’ room.
“Dad, Mom, can I see Lucas tomorrow?”
“Your brother is going back tomorrow. Haven’t you always wanted to go back and take a look at the
place? You’ll visit your grandpa’s grave in our place this time.” Livia ran her fingers through Claire’s hair
as she smiled lovingly at her innocent daughter.
Franklin, who had been looking at documents, did not even raise his head. “Aren’t you worried about
her going there? You know neither Blair nor Naomi are amiable children.”
Livia disagreed, “She’s the oldest in the family. How can she stay this child-like way for the rest of her
life? We have to let her learn. Her future is with Nolan Group.”
“Dad, I think Mom’s right.” Claire smiled brightly, looking like a harmless rabbit. “Moreover, I really
haven’t been back for years. I don’t think Blair and Naomi even remember that they have a sister.”
“Fine,” Franklin gave in reluctantly.
“It’s settled.” Claire hugged her father’s arm tightly. “You’re the best, Dad.”
“Okay, it’s late now. Go back to your room. I’ll ask someone to send the two of you back.” Livia pushed
Claire out of the room. “Don’t stay up because you’re too excited.”
Claire bounced out of the room. “I won’t!”
The moment she left, Franklin and Livia’s expressions turned grim.
They looked nothing like the loving parents they were a second earlier.
Putting down the document in his hand, Franklin asked monotonously, “Are you really going to let her
go back?”
“We’ve been raising the substitute for so long. We’ll have to use her, eventually. She’s been living for
Grace for so many years. It’s time for her to pay her price.” Livia slowly slathered her cream on her face
as she muttered frigidly.
“Shouldn’t you feel something for a dog you’ve been living with for years?” Franklin walked over to Livia
and held her shoulders.
Livia sneered as cruelty crept into her eyes. Her next words would have sent shivers down anyone’s
ears. “She’s not even comparable to a dog.”
At Bayview Villa.
Ashlyn pulled all the strings she could to look for Lucas.
A living, breathing man like him could not have vanished without a trace. Yet, what stunned her was
that she could only find traces of Lucas at the airport.
It really seemed as if the man had vanished into thin air right after he left the airport.
There was no news of him.
How can I not find even a hint of his whereabouts?
She sat in front of the computer as she typed furiously on the keyboard.
That was the sight that greeted Jared when he entered the room.
In his hands were two cups of milk. He placed one in front of Ashlyn. “Boss, you’ve been working all
night. Drink the milk and rest.”
Ashlyn picked up the cup and sipped on its contents. Her exhaustion was radiating off her. “Does
anyone have any clue of his whereabouts?”
“No. You’d think that the disappearance of Mr. Nolan would be in the news. But it’s been quiet, both
here and overseas. He didn’t bring Mr. White along this time. Don’t you think that’s weird? Did he go
into hiding himself?” Jared pondered.
