Chapter 127
“It’s such a rare sight to see Mrs. Newmanck confidence in herself,” Lucas‘ mouth curved.
“How could this be the same? Also, she called you‘ principal‘. Does it mean you two are not together
yet? What’s the situation now…”
Lilian said apologetically on the phone, “I’m sorry, Miss Vallois. I have something to tend to at the
moment, and we might need to change the dinner to another day. Have you arrived at the ce?”
Anne did not want to put her in a difficult position. After all, everyone would have encountered urgent
matters. Thus, she said, “I haven’t arrived yet. It doesn’t matter, you go take care of your things, don’t
worry about me.”
After hanging up, Anne was a little embarrassed!
If she stayed, the price for a meal was too much for her to afford.
Hence, she chose to leave instead.
Turning around, Anne went to greet Lucas and the
others, “Principal, my friend can’t make it today, so I’ll leave now. Enjoy your dinner.”
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you have dinner with us? You’vee all the way here, and you have
yet to
take your dinner, right?” Joanne tried to make her stay. “Huh? It’s alright, but no thanks…” Anne
declined.
Lucas pushed his sses slightly and said, “Let’s just eat together!” He got up and pulled a chair for her.
Anne’s face turned red.
She could not refuse such courtesy, so she had no choice but to sit down and said, “Thank you.”
Lucas called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.
Before Anne could have the time to feel uneasy, Joanne enthusiastically pulled her to a conversation,
“Are you here after getting off work?”
“Yes.”
“You should eat up. The taste is not bad. It’s livelier to have us three having dinner together. It’s so boring
to eat alone with my son.”
Anne smiled and looked at Lucas who shrugged
helplessly. She said, “He’s a good person.”
Moreover, she could see that Lucas‘ mother saw her as her daughter–inw. Her eyes were full of
kindness andpassion.
She could not deny anything, after all, she promised to
cover for Lucas.

Hence, things got more embarrassing.
Lucas finished ordering the food over the other side.
Anne looked at him. Lucas smiled back at her, calm and noble.
Before the dishes were served, Joanne suddenly made an astonished sound. “Oops, Lucas, you go on
with Anne. I just remembered I have something important to do. Anne, we’ll make another appointment
next time with your aunt.”
While talking, she picked up her bag and left straight
away.
Anne was a little dumbfounded when she saw Joanne running away before she could say anything.
Anne saw through her intention of doing so.
“It’s okay. We’ll eat,” Lucas said.
Anne sat down and anxiously asked him, “Your mother seems to be serious. I really didn’t expect to meet
you here…”
“It’s just a meal. Don’t be so stressed about it.”
“I think you’re more stressed,” Anne said.
“I’m very good at this. I can just tell her that we broke up when the timees.”
Anne thought about it, and agreed that it was a good way.
After taking a few bites, she thought of the incident
where she met Anthony while eating elsewhere. She took out her mobile phone to check his location.
She found that Anthony’s was in the Archduke Group.
That was reassuring.
After eating, Anne left the ce in Lucas‘ car.
Lucas drove his own car. He stared straight ahead, focused. “How’s the case involving your mother
going?”
“I have no clue, and I can’t tell whether it was a random crime or a deliberate murder,” Anne answered, “I
can’t think of anyone around me who would do such a thing. If anyone bear grudges against me, they
could just look for me. Why are they targeting my mother?”
“It’s definitely not against you,” Lucas said.
Anne looked at him, wondering how he thought about the
case.
“If it was against you, your three children would have already discovered it long ago.”
Anne thought that it made sense and said, “And it’s impossible to be my mother’s enemy. My mother’s
circle is simpler…”
