NovelEnglishLucas did not know that her scar was a prosthetic that had been glued on.
When the thug had kissed her face, she had not felt anything.
However, even so, that did not change the fact that the thug had assaulted her.
"Mr. Lucas, thank you for helping me. You've always been helping me. I don't even know how to thank you. We agreed that I'll be the one buying you dinner today, but in the end, I still caused you trouble." Irene looked at Lucas and said gratefully, "Don't worry. If your father asks about this, I'll certainly provide him with a clear explanation." "Has it ever occurred to you that my father would not want to speak to you at all?" Lucas poked fun at her. "Since the incident already happened, don't think about it so much. I'll take responsibility if anything happens." Soon, they arrived at the police station.

Not long after, the police brought Frankie's friend back to the police station.
"That's the two of them! This man severely beat and injured my friend! My friend had to be been taken away to the hospital by ambulance!" Frankie's friend's voice grew louder after he saw Lucas and Irene.
"What do you mean severely injured? He can only be considered severely injured once the hospital declares him to be so," Irene said immediately. "It is your friend who first harassed me! That's why my friend hit him!" "Harass? Ho, ho! You ugly woman, my friend was just joking with you!" "You can't just randomly kissjust because I'm ugly! Do you guys not know about the law?" "Enough. Stop fighting. Let's first get your statements, and we'll talk later after that person's injury report is out," said the police officer. "We'll pull out the security footage from the restaurant. It's best for both of you to not lie." When they were providing their contact details after getting their statements recorded, Frankie's friend learned about Lucas' identity.
"I was wondering who you are! As it turns out, you're that illegitimate child of the Woods family! Fantastic. Just you wait! I'll call my uncle immediately and ask him to look for your father!" "Is the Shaw family very powerful?" Irene was frightened by the man's arrogant attitude.
She mainly was worried that Lucas would be implicated in this because he had helped her.
"You ugly woman. You don't even know the Shaw family, yet you dared to call the police. What a hilarious joke!" said Frankie's friend as he laughed arrogantly. "Both of you are brainless idiots!" Lucas clenched his fists tight. The mood was tense, and it looked as if Lucas was about to fly into a rage at any second. Irene immediately held his arm and pulled him out of there.
"Mr. Lucas, it's already very late. Let's head back!" Both of them hailed a cab and returned to the Woods' mansion after they settled the bill at the restaurant.
"Mr. Lucas, why don't I just stay here tonight? If your father calls to scold you, I can explain things to him." Irene felt uneasy.
If the Shaw family was truly more powerful than the Woods family, then even if Frankie was in the wrong, Lucas would also be blamed.

He did not get a headache because he had offended the Shaw family. Instead, his headache was caused by Irene's nagging. "Alright! I'll cearlier tomorrow." Irene turned around and prepared to leave.
As Lucas looked at her thin back, he could not help but say, "Letknow when you get home." Usually, she would not be heading him this late, and he did not worry much about her.
"Alright, Mr. Lucas. I'll be fine. Take a shower and go to bed! If you don't wish to be disturbed, you can turn off your phone before you sleep," said Irene, and then she walked out. She figured that as Mr. Woods was traveling, he would not be able to return hthat night even if he were to hurry.
At half past six in the morning the following day, before the sun rose, Irene was already at the South Block.
The entire Woods mansion was quiet, but Irene felt panicky.
Mr. Woods would certainly be in rage when he returned.
She opened the door of the South Block and saw the door to Lucas room was not shut, so she strode over with long, ground-eating ed strides. ŚwS et
