Chapter 490


    Chapter 490 She’s With Irwin


    In Wexford, Irwin and Cedric were both anxiously concerned that Natalie might discover something.


    As this tension thickened, Lucas suddenly appeared at Casey’s vi. Both of them emanated a visible


    tension, and the atmosphere around them felt charged with urgency.


    The person before him was clearly a woman, but she was dressed as a man. Lucas furrowed his.


    brows and asked, “How many people know you’re a woman?”


    Everyone had been referring to Casey as a man because they had thought she was one.


    Casey paused, taken aback.


    Not many in Wexford knew that she was indeed a woman.


    Casey had met Natalie twice, but Natalie was also likely unaware and had forgotten that Clyde had


    once told her that Casey was a woman.


    “What’s it to you?” Casey’s tone grew cold.

    “You…!”


    “Get to the point,” Casey interjected impatiently. Over the years, their interactions had been minimal.


    She detested when people brought up her gender, as if being a woman made her lesspetent.


    Given that few knew her secret in Wexford, it was rarely ever mentioned.


    Since that was the way Casey was acting, Lucas got straight to the point. “Our master doesn’t want you


    to present Ms. Russell’s information to Madam!”


    “Hah!” Upon hearing his directness, Casey let out a sarcasticugh.


    While theugh was an immediate response, its masculinity made it sharper than usual.


    “State your terms,” Lucas demanded.


    Terms? Seriously?!


    Seeing as he was so direct, it seemed he came prepared!


    Before Casey could respond, Lucas continued, “If you think I don’t have the authority, you can discuss


    it with our master.”


    Cedric? No way.


    “I won’t see him!” Casey was straightforward, cutting right to the chase.

    Lucas was silent.


    “Everyone knows that your master is ruthless. Honestly, if he had been around these past years,


    Wexford would resemble a battleground!”


    As she casually raised a ss of red wine, her short, sharp hairstyle made her look even more


    dashing. Lucas found himself momentarily blinded by the sight, and his expression darkened!


    “You’re one of Clyde’s people. He wouldn’t harm you,” Lucas asserted.


    With a hint of sarcasm, Casey responded, “I’ve never heard that there’s a good rtionship. between


    our masters. I don’t think… your words hold any weight, do they?”


    Lucas blinked, momentarily thrown off by her sharp words. When Casey was on her game, it was


    indeed challenging for men to keep up.


    “So, what are your terms?” Lucas pressed.


    With a smirk, Casey retorted, “Terms? There are none. But there is one other matter!”


    She suddenly gave Lucas a mocking look


    “What is it?!” Lucas urged.


    Downing her wine with a hint of bravado, she adjusted her attire. “You said our young mistress is your


    master’s wife. If so, why is she now living with Mr. Frazier?”


    Lucas was left speechless.


    “Lucas,” Casey began, “If our young mistress were to discover what I’ve uncovered…”


    She left the threat hangin


    in the air, leaving the rest unsaid.


    With this statement, Casey wasn’t just warning Lucas. She was indirectly sending a message to Cedric


    as well.


    Problems had arisen, and avoiding them wouldn’t be as straightforward as they might hope!
