His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2571

"Whatever."

"I'll get going now. See you tomorrow!" Irene picked up her backpack and left with the garbage bag in hand as usual.

She had never once looked back when she left, and Lucas felt lonely at that moment.

When his mother had decided to hand him over to his father, she had not discussed her decision with him and called his father over instead.

Irene had rushed home, and when she reached her apartment, she was drenched in sweat. Once she locked the door, she set her backpack down and went into the shower.

She felt slightly tired from working the whole day and knew that she would not be able to focus if she started studying right away. Having a shower first would sober her up, and she would be able to focus better.

In the South Block, Lucas had just come out of the shower when he heard a knock on the front door. He immediately put on a t-shirt and walked out of his bedroom.

As expected, someone was knocking on the door, and he strode over to open the door.

"I was wondering why you didn't answer the phone and won't come to the door. So, you were in the shower!" Mr. Woods glanced at him before entering.

"What do you want?" Lucas stood next to the door, keeping it open.

The cold wind escaped into the mansion, piercing his body, but he kept the door open because he did not want his father to stay for too long.

"Close the door! You don't want to catch a cold." Seeing that Lucas refused to close the door, Mr. Woods walked to the door and closed it. "Kasey just called me and said that she will be holding a birthday party tomorrow. She wants you to come over. I asked her why didn't she invite you over herself, and she told me that you never answer your phone… You brat. Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! Here I thought that she hasn't contacted you at all, and it turns out that you've been ignoring her."

"I'm not going." Lucas had promised to stay with Irene for her birthday the next day, and he intended to keep his promise.

"Haha! Did you think that I'm giving you a choice? We can't afford to cross the Bennetts! If your refusal offends the Bennetts, they can crush without even lifting a finger. Do you want to destroy this family?!" Mr. Woods shouted.

Lucas clenched his fists and glared at his father.

"There's no use in glaring at me! They've asked me to invite you, which means you are not allowed to say no! You will bring a big gift with you when you go to Kasey's party. I know that you don't like to fawn over others so you can just sit there and not say a word as long as you don't cross anyone. Do you understand?!"

Lucas remained quiet.

"Lucas, I'm begging you." Seeing how threatening Lucas did not work, Mr. Woods resorted to pleading with him. "If this family is destroyed, I won't be able to provide you with this type of life again. If you manage to keep Kasey happy, I will give you whatever you want, okay? I'm old and can't do much anymore. Just think of this as my fault and blame me all you want, but don't cross the Bennetts!" he said when he saw the shift in Lucas' expression.

Shortly after, Mr. Woods left the South Block. He was content. Though Lucas was a wild young man, he could be reasoned with. After all, as one of the sons of the Woods family, the end of the family meant the end of his comfortable life as well.
