His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2540

The smile on Irene's face disappeared. "Mr. Lucas, I'm done."

She did not know Sam all that well, as he had been overseas the entire time and though he would occasionally return home during holidays, he had only come back once a year ever since he entered university.

Before Lucas was brought back into the fold of the Woods family, Sam was the one member of the family who was willing to speak to Irene. She usually kept to the back kitchen, and Sam would often enter the kitchen to talk to her.

"Are you that scared of him, Irene?" Sam sat down on the couch. "Is he mistreating you? I can talk to Father..."

"Don't say that Mr. Sam. Mr. Lucas has treated me kindly." Irene realized that Sam was trying to divide her and Lucas. Since Lucas was hot-tempered, she did not want to be the person to trigger a fight between the two siblings.

"Is that so?" he asked suspiciously before turning to look at Lucas. "I heard that you are on bad terms with stepmother and that you had beaten up the second son of the Shaw family. Had it not been for Kasey Bennett, you wouldn't have the freedom that you have now."

"No matter what I did, I'm still better than a coward like you," Lucas said.

Sam stared at him in shock.

"I heard that you were taken into the family at six. I reckon that you were tortured in all possible ways by that stepmother of ours," Lucas said. "You ran off to another country as soon as you finished the third year of secondary school. If you are strong, you would not have run away like that, would you?"

"... You sure know a fair deal about me."

"Everyone knows, don't they?" Lucas continued sarcastically. "Run back to the Main Block like the coward you are! You are annoying me."

"I don't recall hearing Father say he gave the South Block to you. I can come here whenever I want."

Irene had not expected the two to start fighting on their first encounter. It was as though they had held a grudge against each other in the past.

"Mr. Sam, you've just come home. Why don't you go and rest? I need to start cooking." Irene was worried that the fight would intensify if she left.
