She took it and opened the bottle. She muttered, "Mr. Lucas, this time, I was the one who caused you trouble. You didn't want to go out yesterday, but I insisted on taking you out. I was the one being bullied; it had nothing to do with you, you—" "Can you be quiet? I didn't sleep last night. I'm feeling dizzy." Lucas lay in bed and shut his eyes. "Later, if my dad speaks to you, don't say anything dumb. Just say that you were scared out of your wits and that you don't know anything. Don't letget beaten up for nothing." Irene initially had been holding back her tears. When she heard what he said, her tears began to fall.

If you feel dizzy, go to sleep!" Irene wiped away her tears and pulled his shirt up. The marks on his back jumped at her. "You're wounded, yet you still say it's not painful. How stubborn can you be?" "This is nothing. If I can't even bear this much pain, I'm not a man." "What is the point of insisting on this?" Irene took out a cotton ball, wetted it with an iodine solution, and began disinfecting his back. "Your dad sure is ruthless. They were the ones to blame, yet he still wants you to apologize. He doesn't know between right and wrong." "Don't talk about him. Letlie in silence." "Hmm. I won't bother you." Irene disinfected his wounds and applied the salve. When she saw him closing his eyes seemingly asleep, she tucked him under the covers and left the room.
Thinking about how Lucas was beaten up because of her, Irene felt worse the longer she thought of it. She returned once more to the main kitchen. She wanted to find a chance to explain things to Mr. Woods.
The deterioration of the bond between father and son was not something she ever wanted to see happen.
At eight in the morning, Mr. Woods cdownstairs for his breakfast. The butler passed on Irene's request to see him, and he agreed.
The butler led Irene to the dining area.
When Olivia Woods saw Irene, she immediately furrowed her brows. "Why do you have such an ugly servant? Mom, did you hire her to ward off evil spirits? I can barely eat my breakfast anymore!" After Olivia's weird comments, she said to the servant, "Send breakfast to my room. I'm not going to eat here!" Before she left, Olivia glared at Irene.

"Say what you want to say!" Mr. Woods said impatiently.
"Mr. Woods, it is all my fault. Don't blMr. Lucas. I got my pay yesterday. I initially wanted to treat Mr. Lucas to a meal, which is why we went to the city. Mr. Lucas initially didn't want to leave the house. I was the one who insisted. If it weren't for me, this would not have happened." Irene took the blupon herself.
Mr. Woods heard what she said and sure enough he was furious. "He sure listens to you! I asked you to look after him, not take him around town causing trouble! Are you being smug You ugly woman! Don't tellyou have fallen for my son! Hehe! Do you think my son will fall for you? He is way out of your league!" Irene did not expect Mr. Woods to misunderstand her. She immediately explained, "Mr. Woods, I really have no such thoughts. I only felt that since Mr. Lucas treatswell, I wanted to treat him to a meal. I see him staying at hall day long. I was afraid that he would get bored." "You dare deny it! He said he wanted a tutor, but it turns out that he did not want a tutor for himself, and the tutor has been teaching you instead, right?" Mr. Woods harrumphed coldly. You all have been treatinglike a fool! Don't you know that there are surveillance cameras installed in this house?" Irene was speechless.
"Irene, I really didn't expect you to be this capable. hired you to disgust Lucas, and yet, you have gotten close to him. I don't know whether should say that you're capable or that Lucas has rather kinky tastes! Hehehe!" Mrs. Woods looked at Irene with disdain. "You even got him to offend Frankie Shaw, the second heir of the Shaw family! You two are so ignorant!" Irene said, "It is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Mr. Lucas." "Okay! On your Grandma's behalf, I won't bother reprimanding you. From now onward, you are no longer a part of our staff! Leave!" Mrs. Woods said coldly.
