‘D*mn it! Who’s this old woman?’
At that moment, a man walked over slowly. “What happened?”
Willow turned around and saw Louis appearing. She then hurriedly walked up to him and said
aggrievedly, “Louis, I don’t know what’s going on! They’re targeting me deliberately…”
Madam Nera chuckled. “Oh? Mr. Lucas, is she related to you? Why didn’t I know that?”
Willow bit her lip, not daring to look at Maisie’s eyes at this time. She was only betting that Maisie did not
know about the de Armas.
Louis approached Madam Nera slowly. “Madam Nera, I’m sorry. I hope you can forgive my cousin if she
has offended you.”
“Heh, but she just vowed that the Lucas family won’t show me mercy and let me go unscathed.”
Louis frowned and glared at Willow coldly.
Willow lowered her head and bit her lip harshly.
‘How is this happening? Looking at Louis’ attitude toward this old hag, won’t the things that I just said
slap me in the face?
Louis did not want to care about this matter originally, let alone lend Willow a helping hand. But this was
related to the reputation of the Lucas family, and it wouldn’t do the family any good if Madam Nera were t
o be offended by Willow.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that everything will be answered for.”
Louis turned his head and glared at Willow without his emotionless eyes. “You, apologize to the lady.”
“Louis, I–”
“Forget it. I’m too old to receive an apology from her. Just ask your mother Larissa to come to me
someday.” Madam Nera snorted, then turned to Maisie and said, “Zee, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Maisie smiled and then pushed the wheelchair away.
Louis turned his head and watched as they left. Soon, his expression dimmed. He knew that Madam
Nera was not deliberately making things difficult for them, unless…
“Louis, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I—”
“You actually know that you’re at fault?” Louis glared at her, inserted his hands into the pockets of his
trousers, and said, “Don’t think that I’ll help you just because you’re my cousin. If the Lucas family suffers
any consequences just because of you, I won’t let it slide, even if you’re my cousin.“
Before turning around to leave, he then stopped and said, “You better come up with something to
explaint o my mother.”
“You offended Madam Nera?” Larissa stared at Willow coldly with her sharp glare as if there was a
bullseye on her face.
Willow trembled and bit her lip. “I didn’t plan to offend Madam Nera. I was only talking to Maisie. It’s just
that Maisie hates me, so she started speaking rudely to me first while Madam Nera supported her.”
Louis stood on the side with his hands kept in his pockets and his lips pressed together tightly, glancing a
t her without making a sound. .
Larissa frowned.
‘Forget about Erwin and Nolan. Maisie even has Madam Nera supporting now. Isn’t she a little too
popular? Apart from that, what was Nolan trying to tell me when he was leaving the other day?
‘If I were to know something…’
“Aunty Larissa, don’t worry, I’ll go and apologize.”
“What’s the use of you apologizing to her?” Larissa said sternly, “I’m going to ask you again. Is what you
told me before this all true?”
‘If Maisie has always been targeting her and making her life difficult all this while, then why would she be
so popular?
“Let’s put Nolan and Erwin aside. Madam Nera is different-the type of person that Madam Nera looks
down on most is a scheming woman. Thus, since she dared to speak up for that Maisie, it only shows
that Maisie must have earned her trust and admiration through some extraordinary traits or her
personality’
