His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2571

"Whatever."

"I'll get going now. See you tomorrow!" Irene picked up her backpack and left with the garbage bag in hand as usual.

She had never once looked back when she left, and Lucas felt lonely at that moment.

When his mother had decided to hand him over to his father, she had not discussed her decision with him and called his father over instead.

Irene had rushed home, and when she reached her apartment, she was drenched in sweat. Once she locked the door, she set her backpack down and went into the shower.

She felt slightly tired from working the whole day and knew that she would not be able to focus if she started studying right away. Having a shower first would sober her up, and she would be able to focus better.

In the South Block, Lucas had just come out of the shower when he heard a knock on the front door. He immediately put on a t-shirt and walked out of his bedroom.

As expected, someone was knocking on the door, and he strode over to open the door.

"I was wondering why you didn't answer the phone and won't come to the door. So, you were in the shower!" Mr. Woods glanced at him before entering.

"There's no use in glaring at me! They've asked me to invite you, which means you are not allowed to say no! You will bring a big gift with you when you go to Kasey's party. I know that you don't like to fawn over others so you can just sit there and not say a word as long as you don't cross anyone. Do you understand?!"

Lucas remained quiet.

"Lucas, I'm begging you." Seeing how threatening Lucas did not work, Mr. Woods resorted to pleading with him. "If this family is destroyed, I won't be able to provide you with this type of life again. If you manage to keep Kasey happy, I will give you whatever you want, okay? I'm old and can't do much anymore. Just think of this as my fault and blame me all you want, but don't cross the Bennetts!" he said when he saw the shift in Lucas' expression.

Shortly after, Mr. Woods left the South Block. He was content. Though Lucas was a wild young man, he could be reasoned with. After all, as one of the sons of the Woods family, the end of the family meant the end of his comfortable life as well.
