Chapter 221 So, Aria’s backer behind the scenes was Lucas, huh? “Fine. I’ll send you a copy of the receipts for the medicines I buy and the proof of the loss of wages or whatever. Please take care of the payment.” Serenity said before turning to Lucas. “Mr. Gomez, thank you for today. I’ll take my leave now.” After saying that, Serenity left the lounge, leaving Lucas and Ana behind. Lucas stared coldly at Aria, which caused her heart to race.
Aria forced a smile and said, “Lucas, why are you looking at me like that? By the way… About my sister… Have you met her before?” “What are you trying to dig for information? Lucas shot back instead of answering. “… was just curious. My sister never mentioned it,” she said. “Of course. Your sister lives in a rundown and small rented house, working as a street sweeper, and now, she’s just an extra. For the sake of 330 dollars, she kept kneeling and bowing to her own sister. I do wonder why she never mentioned it to you? Lucas said in an unusually cold voice. At least for Aria, it was the first time he had spoken to her in such a chilling voice.

Do you want her to know how capable you are, how easily you can make her kneel and bow down, and how you can do whatever you want while she can’t even resist? Lucas spoke as if he were having a casual conversation, but Aria listened in fear. “By the way, I’ve given you quite a lot during this time. Not to mention, there are some people who, in order to please you, have secretly given you quite a bit. Any item you pick from your possessions is probably something your sister couldn’t earn in several years of work. And you? Have you ever thought about helping her out?” “I… Aria widened her eyes but couldn’t utter a complete sentence. She started trembling violently as she processed everything he had said. She thought she had been discreet when she had accepted those so-called gifts from others.
