As soon as Lucas entered, his gaze landed on Aveline. Seeing the two bodyguards holding her, his expression turned icy.

"Let go."

His tone was cold, surrounded by a powerful and chilling aura.

The two bodyguards instinctively released her and looked over at Crystal.

Crystal, seeing him, immediately said, "Lucas, you're just in time. This maid not only ignored my words but also hit my grandson. How are we going to resolve this?"

Lucas ignored Crystal's words and went straight to Aveline, his eyes. fixed on her. "Are you okay?"

Aveline's heart trembled slightly. She shook her head. "I'm fine. I didn't hit him."

"I know," Lucas said quickly and confidently.

At that moment, Aveline's heart settled.

Regardless of their past conflicts, at least for now, he was on her side.

Aveline lowered her gaze, suppressing the emotions that surged within her.

Crystal's brows furrowed deeply as she watched this scene.

The onlookers were also quite surprised.

Wasn't this woman a maid of the Tudor family?

Why was Lucas treating her so kindly?

Could they be having an inappropriate relationship?

Lucas's sharp eyes turned to Crystal, his voice cold. "Mrs. Ross,

you're getting on in years, so you should avoid going out too much. This is my wife, Aveline Young."

Crystal's face turned pale from shock!

The surrounding people collectively gasped.

This woman was Lucas' wife!

Crystal took a deep breath and said, "Even if she is your wife, she

still hit my grandson. Does her status mean this matter will be brushed off? Is this how the Tudor family handles things?"

Lucas's narrow eyes fell on the little boy's face. The boy, hiding behind Crystal, peeked out at them.

Meeting Lucas' cold gaze, the boy immediately trembled.

"Did she hit you?" Lucas asked in a deep voice.

The little boy looked like he was about to cry, but Lucas' eyes grew colder, and the boy was too scared to cry.

Clutching his candy tightly, he moved his lips but didn't say anything.

Lucas said coolly, "Children who lie will see their noses grow long, and none of their friends will like them anymore."

"No!" the boy immediately blurted out.

Crystal quickly knelt down. "My dear grandson, don't be fooled by him. Did she hit you or not?"

The boy sobbed, "No.. I don't like her because she ignored you, so I wanted to shoot her..."

Crystal's expression changed rapidly, flushing red with anger, then. turning pale with shock, and finally darkening with embarrassment.

The people around were also stunned by the sudden turn of events..

At this moment, Yvonne spoke up, "So it was a misunderstanding. Children have poor memories and can easily get things wrong. Alright, since it's a misunderstanding, let's move on and continue.

our tea."

She then turned to Lucas. "Lucas, it's good you're back. Your father is waiting for you in the study upstairs. You should go up."

Aveline's expression turned cold.

Earlier, Yvonne hadn't mentioned her identity and insisted on an apology. Now that the issue was resolved, Yvonne stepped in as a mediator.

What if Lucas hadn't come back?

Would Yvonne have just watched as Crystal's people dragged her out?

Crystal's expression softened a bit as she turned to leave with the boy in her arms.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"What's the rush?" Lucas's cold voice rang out again.

Yvonne's expression became more serious. "Lucas, what are you planning to do? The Ross family has long
