I glanced at Chloe and said coldly without courtesy:
“You’re so young but not learning anything good, just fixating on your own cousin. I think your brain is full of dirty thoughts. This slap is to teach you a lesson, to wake you up.”
“Shut up! I’m not!”
Chloe screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, lunging at me.
Her nails were sharp, her momentum fierce.
Unfortunately, before she could reach me, she was blocked by Lucas.
“Cousin Lucas, why are you protecting her? This fickle woman doesn’t deserve your…”
“Shut up!”
This time, Lucas coldly glared at Chloe, his face like ice.
Chloe was startled and fell silent again.
But her eyes looked at me, even more resentful and venomous.
I knew this grudge was now set.
But I didn’t regret slapping her at all.

This woman had a foul mouth. Once or twice could be overlocked, but going on and on was really annoying me.
“Director Johnson, I won’t be coming to the set anymore. The script content has been finalized, you can handle the rest as you see fit. Also, there’s no need to keep guest roles for me in the future. Here’s the revised script for this season, I’ll give it to you together.”
I had originally called Director Johnson to discuss this matter, but it had been delayed so long because of Chloe.
I stood up and left directly.
Lucas followed closely behind. He tried to speak several times, but the words reached his lips and were swallowed back. Only Little Lucas kept punching his own chest.
‘My wife is angry, I deserve to die!‘
‘Honey, don’t be angry. You can hit me instead!
I reached out to push Little Lucas away and asked Lucas directly:
*Chloe has suffered such a big grievance, she won’t just let it go. She’s your sister. What if she comes to harm me?”
“What sister! She’s just a cousin! How can she compare to my wife!‘ Little Lucas was indignant.
Lucas’s face was also displeased as he said coldly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely resolve this matter.”
I looked Lucas up and down, expressing doubt.
Little Lucas screamed as if vomiting blood: ‘Damn it!! Let the Lin family fall! They’ll fall right now!”
Once Lucas made up his mind, he immediately took action.
For several days in a row, he left early and returned late, so busy that I barely even saw Little Lucas.
He said fewer words to me than I saw in the financial news.
And Lucas did indeed take action against Lin Corporation.
Although he only terminated a few collaborations, it was already a huge blow to Lin Corp.
In just a few days, Lin Corp’s stock plummeted, with its market value evaporating by at least 1 billion dollars.
Other companies seized the opportunity to divide Lin Corp’s market share. When the wall falls, everyone pushes – no one came to their aid.
At this rate, Lin Corp’s bankruptcy was just a matter of time.
And under such heavy pressure, the first announcement Lin Corp made was to send Chloe abroad to study.
I was stunned for a moment looking at the news.
The Lin family, had they abandoned Chloe to curry favor with Lucas?
Before I could think it through, Lucas had already given me the answer.
He came home earlier than usual. As soon as he entered the door, Little Lucas bounced to my side.
‘Chloe is gone. No one will bother my wife anymore.
I chuckled softly and planted a kiss on Lucas’s cheek, then
Lucas nodded calmly, “Sure.”
ant with good food. Want to try it together?”
Little Lucas tilted his head back, puffing hot air from his mouth, excitedly making choo–choo train whistle sounds.
I smiled, immediately changed my shoes, and went out with Lucas.
Actually, besides eating, there was another thing I wanted to know.
Apart from our childhood engagement, I had no intersection with Lucas as far as I knew. But Lucas’s attitude towards me seemed as if something had happened between us that I didn’t know about.
Originally I didn’t care, but seeing how much Lucas had done for me.
I realized that the bond I didn’t know about seemed to be deeper than I thought.
However…
The words I wanted to ask reached my lips, but I didn’t know how to say them.
Should I directly ask him why he’s so good to me?
But all those tender words and true feelings were said by Little Lucas. If I told him I could hear his inner thoughts and see a Little Lucas…
If I said that, Lucas might think I’ve gone crazy.
No, I still need to approach this indirectly,
I pursed my lips and stared straight at Lucas, “Um, actually I’ve been too busy before and never asked you, don’t you think our childhood engagement is… unreasonable?”
