Lily woke up the next day, only to find out that Maxwell Lucas had come by last night.
"Uncle, the old man was here. Why didn't you wake me up?" Lily complained to Aidan Lucas.
Mr. Lucas patiently helped Lily get dressed, completely unfazed by her discontented little glare.
"You were exhausted after a long day; how could I wake you? Besides, Uncle isn't going anywhere. You'll see him tomorrow at the family meeting."
"Where is he now? Why didn't he stay at the house?"
"He went to Theodore Lucas' place," Mr. Lucas replied nonchalantly, while wrapping Lily's scarf around her neck.
Today's pink and white scarf complemented her radiant, rosy face perfectly.
"He went to Theodore's place!" Lily's almond-shaped eyes widened angrily as she stood up. "How could you let Uncle go to Theodore's place? Aren't you worried he'll be bribed?"
Thinking of Madam Lucas, Lily shook her head again.
"No, bribery isn't likely... but what if Theodore tries to harm him? Or threatens him..."
