Chapter 48 How Dare You?!
“M–Lucas!”
When Lily saw Lucas, her face went pale.

Lucas was her boss’s closest friend. Anyone who worked under the Menzie Group knew who he was.
“I’m asking you,” Lucas said as he walked in, his eyes sweeping over Lily. He smiled, quite.
“Who are you planning to call the police on?”
but not
His sharp, hunter–like eyes lifted slightly. They were intense, the kind that made hearts race without warning.
Viola couldn’t help it; her heartbeat was speeding up.
It was her first time seeing Lucas in person. She had never imagined a man could be this handsome–far better–looking than any celebrity she admired.
Willow recognized Lucas at once. She had followed Gresham to several high–end banquets and had seen Lucas there before. His family might run a small herbal shop in Riverdale, but in Kingstowne, they were a powerful and respected family.
Gresham had warned her more than once: never offend Lucas.
Willow hurried forward.
“Hi, Mr. Lucas,” she said politely, greeting him with respect.
Viola, blushing, also called out softly, “Mr. Lucas.”
Lucas ignored them. His gaze stayed fixed on Lily.
Lily forced herself to stay calm and said, “Mr. Lucas, this woman damaged the clothes in the store. They’re worth at least 200,000 dollars. She can’t afford this, so I was going to call the police to handle the situation.”
“Oh?”
Lucas raised his brows and glanced at Noelle with a faint smile. “You’re saying she damaged the clothes and can’t pay?”

“Yes!” Lily nodded quickly.
“Tsk.”
Lucas clicked his tongue. “Noelle, you’re really down on your luck. You can’t even pull out 200,000 dollars, and now someone wants to call the cops on you.”
And this was her husband’s mall. She had rotten luck.
“You were so tough when you argued with me at home, Lucas went on. “Why are you letting people push you around? Where’s the black card Sebastian and I gave you? Just take it out and toss it on her face.”
“Mmm.” Noelle tilted her head. “I was planning to. I just didn’t get the chance yet. I’ll remember this. Next time, I’ll toss the card right in her face.
Willow and Viola had rushed in after Lily spoke. Noelle hadn’t even had time to take the card
out.
“Next time?” Lucas said. “You want to get bullied again?”
The easy back–and–forth between Lucas and Noelle made one thing very clear: they knew each other well. Lily stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.
How did this woman know Lucas so well?!
Willow and Viola were shocked too. How could Noelle possibly know someone as important as Lucas?
The way they spoke suggested they are close. Lucas even mentioned home.
What kind of relationship did they have?!
Lily’s legs went weak. “M–Mr. Lucas
…
you and this lady are…?”
“My relationship with her,” Lucas sneered, “is none of your business.
Lily felt even weaker.
The scene had grown too loud. The shop manager, Jillian Dunn, hurried over.
Sebastian was inspecting the mall today, and everyone had gone to report in. Who would’ve thought a shop assistant would cause such a huge mess?
Jillian was flustered. “M–Mr. Lucas, M–Mrs. Menzie—”

Good heavens!
Word had spread everywhere that the boss had brought a woman to the mall today.
And that woman was his newlywed wife.

Sebastian had been single for years. Now that he finally had a woman by his side, no one dared to offend her. Everyone only tried to please her. And yet, she had been bullied in her store.
When Jillian heard about it, she nearly passed out from anger.
She stood with his back to Lily, and her voice was low. Lily and the others were still in shock, so they didn’t hear him address Noella as Mrs. Menzie.
