CHAPTER 58: THE BEST WAY TO CALM AND ANGRY WOMAN IS KISSING HER

Lucas gave a cold chuckle, "It seems that William hasn’t changed at all, still using this same old trick.

Do you all think that every person who approaches me, Lucas, is interested in our Marson family’s wealth and luxurious life?

Don’t project your own characters onto everyone else."

Emily’s face turned red in anger, her finger lightly tracing her purse as she raised her elegant eyebrows, retorting coldly, "Lucas, what is the meaning of your words?

We meant well, are you trying to insinuate something?"

"I don’t mean anything of that sort auntie.

If you insist on interpreting it that way, there’s nothing I can do."

He deliberately put a heavy emphasis on the word ’auntie’.

Emily’s face darkened even further than when she was arguing with Beauty, gripping her purse tightly.

"Well, since you’ve said that, I won’t interfere anymore.

Let your father deal with you in the future!

Don’t blame me for not warning you, that little girl is going to be in big trouble when she grows up.

You better keep a close eye on her."

She said, straightening up her spine and turning to leave, her high heels making a clattering noise on the floor.

Laura, seeing her mom upset, followed her out.

Beauty’s mood plummeted seeing Emily so upset.

She took off her shoes and changed into a comfortable house dress, sitting cross-legged on the carpet, forgetting to lock the door.

Lucas pushed the door open, just as she was venting her frustration on a rag doll, her face flushing red.

"You’ve just had a few days of training and you’re already back to your usual self!

The difference between you now and a refined lady is huge."

Lucas sat down on the sofa, looking at her with a smirk on his face, his eyes falling on her high ponytail.

"Yes, that’s right!

I’m just a country girl!

I can’t compare to your privileged younger sister, let alone with your mother who exudes an aura of nobility.

Even if I could ascend to the top, I couldn’t become a phoenix.

Then, what’s the point of you transforming me?

Just let me exist and perish on my own!"

Beauty had been feeling upset and his words ignited her anger which burst forth uncontrollably.

She glared at Lucas, her face turning pale, her lips puckering slightly.

To her surprise, she had actually made Lucas laugh with her the way she was acting.

It was not the cold, sarcastic kind of laugh.

His unmistakably clear and real smile fell deep into her eyes.

Beauty was slightly startled and stopped in her tracks in surprise.

She opened her mouth but was unable to say anything at all.

He stood up, sat cross-legged on the carpet just as she was, tossed his shoes aside and moved very close to her.

Unlike usual when there was always some distance between them, she could even smell the faint fragrance of his shampoo on his hair.

"So, you think so lowly of yourself!

I thought that after being trained by a star-making coach for such a long time, you should be very confident both inside and out.

Although Laura’s family background is indeed better than most, you don’t need to compare yourself to her.

You have to believe me when I say you’re more attractive when you stand next to her."

"Why?"

Beauty blinked in confusion.

Her delicate eyelashes, resembling the wings of a bird, fluttered, and she raised her chin to look him in the eyes.

"Believe in my judgment.

My selection of people is never wrong as Lucas.

When I say you can do it, you definitely can!

From now on, ignore what others will say about your background.

From today onwards, you’re mine and the envy of the entire city because you’ll stand by my side in the future."

With that, Lucas reached out and gently patted her atop her head, treating her gently in such a way for the first time.

It sent a tingling sensation coursing throughout her body, as if she had been electrified.

"Why did the pervert suddenly change his ways?"

Beauty frowned, preparing to speak.

Just as she’s about to open her mouth, Lucas grabs her braid coldly, "The previous act was a reward for you resisting the temptation of money.

Remember this, don’t listen to anyone else, only my words.

You belong only to me."

Feeling as if her scalp was being torn off, Beauty rushed over to grab his throat.

Her eyes almost popping out as she growled, "I warn you, if you pull my hair again, I will retaliate!"

In pain, she took a few deep breaths before Lucas finally loosened his grip.

He raised his eyebrows and coldly stared at her, "There’s a banquet next Tuesday, prepare well for it.

Don’t embarrass me.

Put on one of those high heels of yours and show me how well you’ve practiced walking in them."

"What a pervert!

Who wants to watch someone walk in heels..."

Beauty hadn’t even finished speaking when a certain someone’s eyes, which seemed capable of a thousand cuts, scared her into silence.

She reluctantly put on those 12-centimeter high heels.

Lucas stood up from the floor and sat on the sofa, his legs crossed, watched her intently as she walked with small, careful steps. It sent a shiver down her spine.

She sighed inwardly, "Indeed, the pervert hasn’t changed at all."

"While walking, don’t let your eyes dart around and don’t murmur in your heart.

This is not how a noble lady behaves."

As if he’s seen through her little thoughts, his cold voice echoed in her ears.

Beauty had no choice but to force a smile towards the man she hated to the core.

All the things her personal trainer had taught her these past few days were put to use, it was only then that Lucas showed a smile on his face.

His eyes curved slightly upwards, "It seems that you have made some progress these past few days, your demeanor is much more natural than before.

Even if a big star stands in front of you, you won’t be overshadowed."

"How do I compare with the woman who slept with you last time?"

Beauty’s eyes sparkled with curiosity and a hint of a smile was on her face.

He didn’t expect her to bring that up, Lucas’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

After a couple of seconds, he coldly said,

"She’s just a woman who accompanies guests in a bar, why compare yourself with them.

But she is somewhat a face well-known in the City social circle."

So he was dark-hearted and sarcastic, he demeaned someone who had been a one night stand.

Beauty mocked him silently.

"Besides, it wasn’t as you thought that day."

"It’s okay, you don’t have to explain to me, even though I’m still young, I understand."

The most effective way to keep a woman silent is to cover her mouth, to silence her with a passionate kiss, rendering her utterly speechless.

Lucas pressed his cold lips against Beauty’s warm pink ones.

The air in the room seemed to freeze.

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.

Feeling his warmth in her mouth, so smooth and tender, as if it could melt her inch by inch, Beauty blinked her eyes open in surprise.

Lucas’s devastatingly handsome face appeared in front of her, his long-curled eyelashes, chiseled features — indeed kissing someone attractive felt different!

Kissing?

Only then did it dawn on her that they were kissing, and it was not a forced kiss by him.
