Lucas’s right hand couldn’t bear weight due to Shawn’s special treatment on Mount Misty last time.

He awkwardly half–held Olivia, then looked at Natasha.

“Get out!” The word escaped Natasha’s red lips.

Lucas was both embarrassed and distressed.

Just then, Olivia seemed to improve slightly, her breathing evening out. She struggled to ask Lucas to retrieve medicine from her bag.

After giving her the white pill of unknown type, Lucas started to explain to Natasha, but Olivia held his hand, shook her head, and said, “Let’s go.”

Realizing his explanation would be futile, Lucas scoffed, then helped Olivia walk

out.

Watching Olivia and Olivia walk away, leaning on each other, the manager and staff who had witnessed everything from start to finish were left speechless.

‘What is that? Are we invisible? That man doesn’t seem smart. In that situation, couldn’t he have asked the staff for help? Or, is an ambulance not an option? If not, the mall still has security guards!‘ they thought.

If Natasha knew their thoughts, she would definitely say Lucas was the only savior

in his world.

Lucas fell for that.

Alexei, who had watched the entire process, looked disgusted. He asked sincerely, “Is he mentally challenged?”

If he were pursuing true love, he should have considered Natasha’s feelings from the start to the end.

If it were for practicality, he should have firmly pursued Esther, whom his mother had found for him, and never given the impression of being indecisive.

Yet, he didn’t choose Natasha, whom he claimed to like, nor Esther, whom he needed for practical reasons. Instead, he chose Olivia, who was the most troublesome and useless.

Lucas couldn’t even claim she wasn’t his true love.

Natasha’s expression was also difficult to describe. “He probably has a savior complex.”

That kind of forbidden love where someone completely relies on and admires one, and one can save them from difficult situations, perhaps even involving a brother’s girlfriend relationship. Lucas might be addicted to that push and pull.

“I admire Olivia more,” said Natasha.

Olivia clearly knew that Natasha and Alexei, who were both aware of the truth, were present, yet she could still perform freely before them without any qualms.

If Olivia hadn’t injured her leg, she might have truly made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

Natasha and Alexei, feeling uneasy after witnessing the farce, exchanged a glance.

“Let’s go to the supermarket,” said Alexei.

“Buy groceries at the supermarket,” said Natasha.

Natasha and Alexei said in unison.

They had shopped enough. It was time to eat something good.

The shop assistants and the staff, with fond smiles, saw off Natasha and Alexei, the attractive young couple who shared natural chemistry.

This afternoon had been truly eventful. After all was said and done, a normal relationship like Alexei and Natasha was indeed more comforting to witness.

Of course, various rumors also quickly spread within their circle.

Lucas took Olivia to the Clark family.

Midway through, Margot called and immediately started yelling, telling Lucas that

the Kloss family was angry and had blocked him.

Lucas tiredly rubbed his temples.

He always seems to mishandle matters of the heart.

“Lucas..” said Olivia, biting her lip. “I think I’ve caused you trouble again.”

Lucas shook his head. “It’s not your fault.”

However, he paused, then added, “Dropping you off today, I wanted to make things clear with you.”

He looked into her eyes and said, “I can’t be responsible for you forever, Olivia. Let’s end things here.”

In fact, he no longer owed her anything, ever since he helped her during her imprisonment.

His life couldn’t continue spiraling downwards like that.

Olivia’s body stiffened.

Even though she sensed Lucas’s tacit approval for Margot to break off the engagement, she had invested more than a year or two in Lucas. How could she willingly let go?

Most importantly, Lucas was now the best option available to her.

However, Olivia didn’t reveal her true feelings. Instead, she nodded

understandingly, saying, “I understand. I’m a burden to everyone now.”

“However, Lucas,” added she, hesitated, “Could I occasionally use your name? My family…”

She hesitated, as if unable to continue.

Lucas furrowed his brows. “Is the Clark family treating you poorly?”

Olivia bitterly smiled. “As you know, to live up to my parents‘ expectations and uphold the Clark family’s reputation for having a genius dancer, I made a mistake,

which had some impact on the company.”

She left the rest unsaid, but it was enough to prompt speculation.

It was simply that once the adopted daughter lost her value, the Clark family disowned her.

He sighed. “I will personally escort you inside.”

“Thank you.” Olivia smiled brightly.

Upon seeing them walk in together, Thomas in the room looked confused.

However, Lucas immediately launched into a furious interrogation. “Thomas, Olivia’s mother is, after all, the Clark family’s benefactor. You shouldn’t go too far.”

Thomas, inexplicably on the receiving end of a scolding, said unhappily, “What do you mean?”

Ever since the Wright family broke off the engagement, the relationship between the two families could no longer return to what it once was.

Not to mention that both sides were struggling to protect themselves.

They were sick of the sight of each other.

However, that was no reason for Lucas to act so presumptuously at the Clark family’s home.

Lucas said coldly, “Just a reminder, the reputation of abusing an adopted daughter doesn’t sound good.”

Olivia quickly intervened to smooth things over.

After Lucas finally left, Thomas, experiencing the feeling of being scolded and mistreated by someone he had helped for the first time, stared coldly at Olivia and said, “Tell me, what happened?”

Olivia lowered her head and said guiltily, “Sorry, Thomas. Lucas misunderstood because he saw me being mocked today for wearing out–of–season clothes.”

Thomas’s brows furrowed as he glanced at her. “Alright, formal dresses and

jewelry will be prepared for you at Mom’s birthday party.”

Natasha would never scheme over such things.

Thomas’s condescending tone made Olivia clench her palms tightly, although her wish was granted.

“Thank you, Thomas,” said Olivia.

She forced a smile, added, “Thomas, I’ve been doing quite well at the company recently. Can I be transferred to the secretarial department?”

*****

Due to karma, the Clark family and the Wright family each faced their own difficulties recently. Chloe also threw another huge tantrum because she couldn’t get into the Turner Group.

Only Alexei and Natasha, the loving couple, lived incredibly comfortably.

Alexei had come to enjoy taking Natasha to work, and lately, he pestered her every day to accompany him.

In his office, a series of unrelated items gradually appeared, such as pillows, blankets, water cups, dolls, and paintbrushes.

However, the senior executives of the Turner Group keenly observed that Alexei had been in an exceptionally good mood lately, and instances of them being severely reprimanded for their mistakes had decreased.

Realizing the pattern, a group of people vied with each other to report their work when Natasha came to the company.

As for business secrets?

Ha! Alexei was practically giving himself away. Was there still a need for secrets?

Time pleasantly slipped away until the day of Edgar’s birthday party.

Coincidentally, Madeline’s birthday party was also scheduled for that day.

Fortunately, the two families were worlds apart in status, so the guests attending
