Chapter 1175


    Shane red at Lucy. His words had got her to stumble backward, and her face turned pale.


    Ss saw how she reacted, so he delivered the final blow by adding, “Now, Ms. Rivers, do you still think


    it was purely a good deed that you rescued Mr. Thompson?”


    “I didn’t know that rescuing you would result in so much trouble. I was trying to be nice. If it wasn’t for


    me, you—”


    “If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve returned to my family ages ago. My men were already looking for me


    when you showed up, and I would’ve been fine even if you weren’t there. They would’ve found me


    sooner, and my wife wouldn’t be triggered after hearing how I was missing!” interrupted Shane cruelly


    and sternly.


    Lucy’s legs gave way, and she fell onto the floor, looking stunned.


    How did things turn out this way? I rescued him out of the kindness of my heart, but he is ming me


    for it. He’s even iming that my help was unnecessary!


    Ss seemed to have seen through what Lucy was thinking. “Ms. Rivers, please don’t me us for


    being so straightforward. That is just the truth. Your so-called rescue ended up getting us in a lot of


    trouble, and we’re already being nice in recognizing your effort. You understand that, right?”


    Lucy’s eyshes fluttered.


    Understand? How can I possibly understand? Why should I? All I know is that you guys are twisting the


    facts and disapproving my efforts!


    Lucy trembled a little. She simply couldn’t ept something like that.


    Ss pushed his sses up and added, “Truth was, we wouldn’t have behaved this way if you had


    called the police immediately after you found Mr. Thompson. There is no point in saying any of that


    now. Ms. Rivers, please allow me to give you some kind advice. Keep your unpleasant thoughts at bay


    and to yourself. You finally have a job, so focus on that. If you don’t, you’ll end up losing your job and


    embarrassing yourself.”


    Lucy’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She quickly shifted her gaze to Shane.


    Unfortunately, Shane wasn’t looking at her. He checked the watch on his wrist and was nonchnt


    when he ordered, “Let’s go, Ss.”


    “Understood,” Ss replied and left with Shane.


    The two men were gone, just like that.


    Lucy, however, stood there and remained stunned.

    After some time, she suddenly curled into a ball, put her head between her knees, and cried out loud.


    This is too much. Shane is too harsh. I rescued him and waited for so long to give him some kind


    advice. I did it all for his sake. In the end, he didn’t thank me for it and treated me so cruelly instead. If


    possible, I truly wish that I didn’t love him, but it’s toote. I am utterly in love with him.


    In the car, Shane, leaning against the backrest, massaged his temple in exhaustion and instructed,


    “Call the janitorial department and have them assign more tasks to Lucy. Make sure she is so busy that


    she won’t have the time to run around and pull a stunt like that again. If she fails toplete all of her


    tasks, just fire her.”


    “Understood,” replied Ss with a smile. “But I think Lucy will finish all the tasks assigned to her, even if


    she is unhappy with it. She will do anything to stay here, knowing that she won’t see you again if she


    leaves. She—”


    “Shut up!” Shane growled.


    Ss chuckled and stopped talking.


    A hint of hatred shed across Shane’s eyes.


    If I had known how troublesome Lucy would be, I would have asked my men to keep her trapped in that


    vige for the rest of her life.


    Unfortunately, things are set in stone now. I just wish that she would realize who she is and stop


    behaving like this. If she doesn’t, I will not show her any mercy.


    Soon, they arrived at the Thompson vi.


    The living room was empty. Upon asking the housekeeper, Shane learned that the two kids were


    ying in their room. Natalie, on the other hand, was working in her studio.


    Shane handed his briefcase to the housekeeper before he walked up the stairs to the studio on the


    second floor.


    He didn’t knock and went in directly instead.


    Natalie had her back to him and was sitting in front of a sewing machine. She was so focused on her


    job that she didn’t notice anyone entering the room.
