Chapter 221
So, Aria’s backer behind the scenes was Lucas, huh?
“Fine. I’ll send you a copy of the receipts for the medicines I buy and the proof of the loss of wages or
whatever. Please take care of the payment.” Serenity said before turning to Lucas. “Mr. Gomez, thank
you for today. I’ll take
my leave now.”
After saying that, Serenity left the lounge, leaving Lucas and Ana behind.
Lucas stared coldly at Aria, which caused her heart to race.
Aria forced a smile and said, “Lucas, why are you looking at me like that? By the way… About my
sister… Have you met her before?”

“… was just curious. My sister never mentioned it,” she said.
“Of course. Your sister lives in a rundown and small rented house, working as a street sweeper, and
now, she’s just an extra. For the sake of 330 dollars, she kept kneeling and bowing to her own sister. I
do wonder why she never mentioned it to you? Lucas said in an unusually cold voice.
At least for Aria, it was the first time he had spoken to her in such a chilling voice.
Ania trembled involuntarily as she stammered, “Lucas. my sister and I had some misunderstandings
before…”
“Oh, do tell. What kind of misunderstanding would cause her to kneel and bow repeatedly to you?”
Lucas countered
Aria felt a wave of panic wash over her as she tried to explain, I… I just wanted the shots to look better,
and my sister’s movements were done correctly, so I thought of asking her to demonstrate… I didn’t
have any other intentions…”
Aria tripped over her words and tried to make herself appear innocent, but under Luca s’s gaze, she
only grew increasingly nervous.
“Enough. You don’t need to say such things anymore. Do you really think anyone would believe your
reasons?” Lucas coldly interrupted. “Do you think of yourself as a fact, or do you think I’m a fool?”
Her face immediately turned pale, feeling as if he had seen right through her.
Lucas casually took hold of Aria’s hand. On her slender wrist was a diamond-encrusted watch, a limited
edition worth two million in the market.
“Do you think you’ve turned the tables and now want to show off in front of your sister? Do you want
her to know how capable you are, how easily you can make her kneel and bow down, and how you can

conversation, but Aria listened in fear.
“By the way, I’ve given you quite a lot during this time. Not to mention, there are some people who, in
order to please you, have secretly given you quite a bit. Any item you pick from your possessions is
probably something your sister couldn’t earn in several years of work. And you? Have you ever thought
about helping her out?”
“I… Aria widened her eyes but couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
She started trembling violently as she processed everything he had said. She thought she had been
discreet when she had accepted those so-called gifts from others. Those people wanted her to say a
few
good words on their behalf to Lucas, to be accommodating in certain matters.
And indeed, she had “accommodated” those people, successfully completing a few tasks and
intentionally speaking well of them in front of Lucas, which led to their requests being granted.
