Matthew had made it clear to get rid of anyone who dared to harm or chat up his wife.
Augustus retreated in fear and stuttered, “G-Gorgeous, tell your bodyguards to calm down. If they injure me, I’ll sue you.”
Just a moment ago, he was acting all high and mighty, but he instantly shrunk in fear.
Feeling at a loss, Lucy quickly instructed the head of her bodyguards, “It’s alright. He won’t do anything to me.”
“Yes, Mrs. Leon.”
The bodyguard immediately stepped back.
Augustus finally straightened his posture and sighed in relief, returning to his nonchalant self.
“What are you up to?”
Lucy looked at him with a hint of exasperation, so he said innocently, “Nothing. Theodore, that rascal, asked me to find his sister for him, but he didn’t tell me anything. He just left without a word.
"Good thing I’m also somewhat a nobleman myself, so I was able to enter the palace. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known you’re actually his sister.
“Since we met each other here coincidentally, I just wanted to come up to say hello. What did you think I was up to?”
Augustus rambled on and chuckled as he looked at Lucy.
Lucy furrowed her brows, avoiding his gaze. “Nothing. Since you’ve come to say hello already, you can leave now. I’m going home.”
Lucy could not bring herself to like this guy at all. How could someone as gentle as her brother have such a shady friend?
Wrinkling her nose, Lucy turned around and left, but Augustus did not stop her this time. Instead, he just watched her leave with great interest.
Theodore’s little sister was quite the character. She was quirky and cute, but it was a shame that she was married.
