Chapter 285


    The woman’s eyes were tightly closed as Lucian helped her into the car Seeing her disheveled clothes,


    his brows furrowed and his expression turned icy cold. He got out of the car again and walked towards


    the middle–aged man who was already unconscious on the ground.


    About five secondster, a man’s agonizing scream echoed down the empty street.


    “Argh-”


    Midnight, 12 o’clock, at Magnolia Gardens


    James stepped out of the bedroom, nodding at Lucian. “It’s all good. She passed out from inhaling too


    much ether. A good sleep will fix that.”


    In the study.


    Lucian sat on the couch, legs crossed. His previously tense expression now rxed.


    James walked over “You worried about her? Don’t trust my medical skills?”


    Lucian’s voice was cold. “Who said I was worried about her?”


    “Not worried about her? Then why did you call me over in the middle of night?” James knew Lucian all


    too well.


    There was something about this woman, Allison, that always triggered different emotions in Lucian.


    Lucian seemed to have his thoughts exposed, his face taut with displeasure. “You can leave now.”


    “Ouch, you’re kicking me out now that you’re done with me? That’s cold, James sat leisurely on the


    couch, tapping his knee. I’ve decided to spend the night here”


    Lucian shed a small smile and pulled out his phone. “Hello, I’m the resident of building A. Can you


    send your security over? There is a…”


    James immediately stood up “Alright, alright, I get it. I’ll leave on my own” He chuckled, ‘Don’t let me


    interrupt your good time with Allison!”


    As James walked to the door, he was suddenly stopped by Lucian. “James, is there a way to determine


    the DNA of a fetus while the woman is still pregnant?”


    James turned around, stroking his chin There is, but it’s not urate. Best to wait until the baby is

    born, that’s more precise.”


    He frowned at Lucian’s expression “Are you suspecting that the child in Penelope’s belly…”


    Lucian simply nodded.


    James said, “It’s indeed a serious matter. But Penelope saved your life, I don’t think she would…”


    Lucian interrupted, I know Penelope saved me and I promised to marry her, but that doesnt mean she


    has the right to trick me into it”


    ‘Four more months, James calcted. In four months, whether the child is yours or not will naturally be


    known. But don’t you find Penelope a bit… odd?” Lucian lit a cigarette, raising an eyebrow upon


    hearing that “Odd how?”


    James didn’t have much contact with Penelope, but he didn’t like her. This woman seemed innocent


    and kind, but he had witnessed her p Allison hard across the face. Her aggressive side was not at all


    like the gentle demeanor she put on in front of Lucian


    “Dont you think she’s a bit hypocritical? In front of you, she appears very gentle, but in private, she is


    is not entirely wrong.”


    But she was just too fake.


    As a good friend of Lucian, James didn’t think highly of Penelope. When he heard that Lucian was


    going to marry her, he was shocked.


    The man sal on the brown leather couch, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest. “Check out a guy for


    me.”


    “Who?”


    “A guy named Robbie. Find out who he’s been in contact with. Has he received anyrge transfers to


    his ount?”


    Lucian squinted, calmly contemting. Perhaps the problemy somewhere else.


    A man named Robbie suddenly showed up in the pictures, he found him and got some so–called


    information. But the information could be fabricated and the man could have been bought off.
