"Watch your attitude! She is nothing but our servant. Whether she works for our family or not is up to me. If I don't want her to work here, she has to leave! Does my retaining or firing servants require your approval?" Mr. Woods was so furious he stood up from the sofa.
Mrs. Woods saw her husband that her husband was furious, and she knew she did not need to add fuel to the fire.
"Lucas, did you know that your father went to the Shaw family to apologize…"
"You shut up!" Lucas glared at Mrs. Woods and said, "You poisoned my dog. Now, you fired my servant. Why don't you kick me out of the house altogether?"
"What do you mean by your servant? What? Just because you spent a few days with that ugly woman, you have feelings for her? Lucas, you better understand whose house you are staying in and who is putting the food on the table. Your servant was hired with my money, too!" Mr. Woods' blood pressure was increasing. His face was flushed and his glare was sharp.
"Then, I'll leave!" Lucas said, turned around, and left.
Mr. Woods lost it because of Lucas' bad temper! "Guards, seize him!"
Two bodyguards immediately rushed over and blocked Lucas' way.
"Since I have reconciled with you and taken you home, you are my son! If I let you run about and cause me more trouble, I won't be able to stand the embarrassment!" Mr. Woods looked at Lucas' back and said, "I grounded you, yet you refuse to listen, so, I'll lock you up till you learn how to listen!"
"Lock me up, then! Even if I die, I won't admit that I made a mistake!"
"You scumbag! Are you trying to kill me with anger!" Mr. Woods said while thumping on his chest, panting.
Mrs. Woods immediately helped her husband. At the same time, she said to the bodyguards, "What are you standing there for? Take him away!"
After the bodyguards took Lucas away, Mrs. Woods helped Mr. Woods to the sofa and got him to sit down.
"I'll go get your medicine. Drink some water and calm down." Mrs. Woods passed a glass of water to her husband before heading to the room to get his medicine.
Mrs. Flores had already reheated the dishes.
"Mr. Lucas, there is a reason why Mr. Woods arranged for me to care for you…" Mrs. Flores wanted to have a good relationship with Lucas.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Lucas had already entered his bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Mrs. Flores sighed. She wondered how Irene got close to him.
In his bedroom, Lucas picked up his phone and saw the message Irene had sent him that morning.
[Mr. Lucas, Mrs. Woods fired me. The incident last night was my fault. I brought trouble to the Woods family. It's only normal that Mrs. Woods would be angry. I miss being apart from you, but it's fine. We can still see each other in the future if we want. Mr. Lucas, don't fight with your family. If they said something that you don't like, just ignore them. I don't want to see you being beaten up again. Also, don't worry about me. Although I'm not working for the Woods family, I can still look for other jobs. I can surely support myself. I hope I can get into Turlington University. You previously said that if I get into Turlington University, you'll give me a gift. Is this still on?]
