The man with the black profile picture reasoned that if the son was so rich, the mother would be loaded too. Unfortunately for him, it was exceedingly challenging to find a sugar mommy these days.

On a cruise ship on the other side of the world, the man was enjoying his sunbathing, but then he clicked his tongue twice and chewed the gum in his mouth. In a carefree, nonchalant manner, he tossed his phone to the side.

Then with a single leap, the young man with an athletic figure disappeared into the sea.

Somewhere at the border, Lucas was staring wide–eyed at the two men across from him.

“It’s an understatement to say he looks like the boss. The resemblance is uncanny. Say, Evan, do you think this brat is the boss‘ illegitimate son?” James asked.

James had bandages wrapped around him, and his eyes were fixed on Lucas, unblinking.

The boy he suddenly picked up on the street was the spitting image of the boss when he was a child.

“Yeah…” Evan also stared at L.

with tightly knit brows.

“Hey kiddo, where’s your dad?” James asked Lucas.

“I don’t have a dad.” Lucas replied unhappily, wrinkling his nose.

His cool, handsome face was full of displeasure.

James‘ heart thumped.

He wondered. Just as I thought, this brat really doesn’t have a father. Could he really be the boss stray child?‘

“What about your mom?” James asked further.

Lucas looked up at James before lowering his face. He didn’t say a single word.

James‘ felt his sympathy stirring.

‘Could it be this kid doesn’t even have a mom? That’s tragic, he thought.

Then, James excitedly grabbed Evan’s arm and said, “Evan, bring this kid along with you when you go back to Northville. Maybe he’s really the boss‘ illegitimate son!”

Evan coldly shot a glance at James before pulling his arm away. He grunted flatly.

Evan scrutinised Lucas up and down with a skeptical face.

The sudden bizarre appearance of this brat who looks exactly like his boss when he was a child seemed more than just a coincidence.

Only a naive simpleton like James would fall for it so easily.

Lucas looked up again, his face was still cold and blank but he let Evan continue gawking at him.

He had expected the man named Evan to be suspicious of him, but he wasn’t afraid of them taking a shot at him.

“Kiddo, since you don’t have a mom or dad, you should follow this guy to Northville. Do you know where Northville is?” James asked Lucas with a smile.

Even his tone had become more amiable.

Lucas nodded without revealing any emotion on his face.

“Awesome!” James couldn’t help but compliment Lucas. “What’s your name?” he asked.

“Lucas Hernandez.” Lucas didn

sitate to state.

“Then we’ll call you Lucas from now on.” James said happily.

Lucas nodded. He glanced at the man before him who was grinning like a fool and pursed his lips..

After Audrey finished eating, she went to the study to make a call.

“Master, some new forces have been checking you out.” Invincible’s voice could be heard from the other end of the line.

“Who?” Audrey asked.

“I haven’t found out exactly yet, but this group should be located in Northville.” Invincible reported.

‘Northville?‘ Audrey thought as she wrinkled her eyebrows. Quite a few people already knew about her in Northville. Besides Dylan, she couldn’t think of anyone else who might want to investigate her.

“I found it. It’s a company called Princely Enterprises. But it’s an advertising company.” Invincible said in a puzzled tone.

Audrey frowned: She thought the name was familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she’d heard it before.

“Continue to keep tabs on their movements. Let’s find out what they’re up to. Audrey instructed.

After she hung up, Audrey made a call to Simon.

“I need one of your lawyers.” Audrey said to him.

“What for?” Simon asked, surprised that Audrey had called him.

To collect a debt.” Audrey replied bluntly.

Simon was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, “Okay, hang tight. I’ll send

Fri, Aug

one to you later.”

“Great, thanks.” Audrey didn’t stand on ceremony.

“Is that all? The old man misses you, you know. When are you coming back to visit?” Simon chided her.

“When I’m free.” Audrey replied without skipping a beat.

She didn’t wait for a reply from Simon before she hung up.

It wasn’t long before the doorbell rang, and Wendy soon walked in to the study.

“Ms. Hernandez, there’s a lawyer named Mr. Reed who’s here for you.” Wendy informed Audrey.

“Okay, I’m going out. I won’t be back for dinner so don’t wait for me tonight.” Audrey replied.

A little while after Audrey had left, Wendy suddenly remembered something and she hurriedly grabbed an umbrella before rushing outside.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Callum asked.

He had just happened to be on his way back from the garden after pruning the flowers. when he ran into Wendy.

“The weather forecast said it’ll rain in the evening, and I’m worried that Ms. Hernandez doesn’t have an umbrella.” Wendy replied.

“I’ll bring it to her.” Callum said as he grabbed the umbrella from Wendy and rushed quickly to the front yard.

Soon though, Callum returned with the umbrella still in his hand.

“Ms. Hernandez has already left, her car isn’t in the driveway.” he told Wendy.

At Clifford Mansion, Richard was holding an information packet in his hands with a grave face.

He had always sported a calm, stoic expression, but this time, for the first time, there was hesitation on his face.

After standing at the door of the study for a while, Richard finally mustered up

the

.

courage to knock.

Dylan’s voice could be heard from inside, and Richard opened the door to enter.

“Sir, the information regarding Is. Hernandez in the men’s prison has been found, but…” Richard said but stoppe self as he looked at Dylan. He seemed to have more to should prepare yourself.” he warned.
