Lucas shivered and said to Victoria nervously, "Mr. Thorne, that young man followed me here and slapped me just now. I was so angry that I hit him."
Victoria was stunned for a moment, and only then saw me, her brows furrowed with disgust and disdain on her face.
Before she could say anything, my parents heard the noise and came out of the house.
Seeing me covering my arm in pain, my parents looked at Lucas, who was holding an iron baseball bat, with anger on their faces.
If looks could kill, Lucas would have been riddled with wounds by now.
Seeing the angry looks on my parents’ faces, Victoria and Lucas immediately misunderstood.
Victoria said hurriedly: "Uncle and aunt, this is not my assistant's fault."
"It was this guy from unknown origin who sneaked up here and seemed to want to do something bad to your family, so Lucas hit him."
Hearing Victoria throwing dirty water on me, Lucas immediately understood and said to my parents, "It's obvious that this guy is not a good person."
"We met him on the way to Sterling Manor. He tried to blackmail us, but Mr. Thorne didn't want to get into trouble, so he gave him $10,000."
