Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1263

In the entire Executive Residence, the Young Master was the only one who dared to give the Executive Chief an attitude.

"Right."

Getting her answer, Luella strode briskly toward the main wing of the residence. It was the perfect time to ask about her mother's memorial plaque.

Inside the study.

Lachlan sat rigidly behind his imposing desk, dressed in expensive loungewear and wearing his reading glasses. A secretary stood nearby, assisting him with documents.

*Bang—!*

The door was shoved open without warning. The secretary jumped in shock, and Lachlan's brow furrowed in severe displeasure.

"Young Master!"

Recognizing the intruder, the secretary immediately adopted a respectful posture and bowed deeply.

"You may leave," Lachlan told the secretary, waving a hand dismissively. "Tomorrow's meetings will proceed as scheduled."

"Yes, Chief."

The secretary sneaked a quick glance at Luella, not daring to linger, and silently closed the door behind him. Now that this menace was back, the residence was about to lose whatever peace it had.

"What do you want?"

Luella stood near the doorway, her face devoid of emotion, her tone as cold as if she were speaking to a complete stranger.

"What kind of attitude is that?"

Lachlan slammed his hand on the desk, his dark eyes glaring at her, his voice booming with authority. "You've been running wild out there for so long you've forgotten your basic manners?"

No matter what, she should at least address him as her father!

"Manners?"

Luella's lips curled into a cold, mocking smirk. "My mom died when I was five. You were too busy marrying your new wife and focusing on your career."

"Come to think of it, I really didn't get a proper family upbringing."

"Don't you dare take that tone with me."

Lachlan stood up, clasping his hands behind his back as he looked her up and down. He was in his fifties, but thanks to constant exercise and top-tier healthcare, he looked remarkably youthful and vigorous.
