Lucas noticed something was off with Aurora, so when Hank left, he didn’t stop him. Right now, her well–being took priority.

“You alright?” he asked, leaning down slightly, his voice low with concern.

Aurora shook her head, trying to steady herself. “I’m fine. Maybe I just had a bit too much to drink.”

She pushed his hand away and took a few steps forward, but her body swayed, and she nearly collapsed.

Thankfully, Lucas caught her just in time.

He could tell she was only trying to act tough.

Without another word, he scooped her into his arms, cradling her like a princess.

Caught off guard, Aurora let out a soft cry. “What are you doing?”

“Taking you home, of course.”

Lucas gently placed her into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt with care.

As he leaned in, he caught the strong scent of alcohol on her and noticed the warm flush on her cheeks.

Unable to resist, he lightly tapped the tip of her delicate nose.

“You really are a little drunkard. Next time I’m not around, you’re not allowed to drink like this.”

Aurora let out a faint, dissatisfied whimper and turned her face away.

For some reason, being near Lucas made her feel an unexpected sense of peace.

She didn’t have to think too much.

All she needed to do was relax and let herself be taken home.

Seeing her like this, Lucas couldn’t help but let out a quiet chuckle.

The only reason Lucas found the right private room was because he’d noticed Hank pacing

Something about it didn’t sit right with him.

usly by the door.

He’d sent Desmond to ask a few casual questions–and just like that, the man completely crumbled.

Good thing he’d come early.

At the same time, Tessa had just received word.

The plan had failed.

“Miss Tessa, don’t ask me to do something like this again,” Hank said, clearly shaken.

Tessa frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Hank couldn’t stop thinking about that man–the one who’d made both David and Peter tremble in fear.

He didn’t know who that man was but something about him felt dangerous.

He didn’t elaborate. “Miss Tessa, just let it go. I won’t be doing anything like this again. I’ve already decided to resign. I’m not going back to Walton Corporation.”

He’d seen the writing on the wall.

Now that he was caught between the two heiresses, there was no place for him at the company.

Rather than drag things out, he’d rather walk away clean without hesitation.

With that, Hank ended the call without waiting for a reply.
