Chapter 125
“Wow, is that Ms. Lewis’ boyfriend? So tall and handsome! They’re truly a match made in heaven!”
“Tsk… What’s the use of being handsome? Can one survive on good looks alone? I think only sons from top-tier families are worthy of our Ms. Lewis!”
“All of you don’t even know about Mr. Calcraft’s background. Look at his aura. It’s not something ordinary men can have. Maybe he’s the son of some big family who simply came out to gain life experience?”
“Alright now, enough. Be safe on the road!”
Hera rolled her eyes at them and quickly walked toward Nash.
At the Lewis family estate, Maria had prepared a large table of food.
At the moment, Herman and Cain were playing chess.
Cain had already lost three rounds.
Herman thoughtfully said, “Cain, you seem to have been restless these past few days. Is it because of that shooting incident?”
“Huh?
“Yeah… yes!”
Cain distractedly replied.
Ever since he was saved by the masked man that night, he had been worried that the person who ordered him to murder Herman would silence him permanently.
Even though the Lewis family estate had increased security by nearly a hundred more bodyguards, he still had trouble sleeping and eating.
Meanwhile, Lauren was sitting on the sofa, knitting a sweater.
Hearing their conversation, she hinted, “Hera also encountered an assassination attempt before. These two cases must have been orchestrated by the same person behind the scenes!”
On another sofa, Rooney, who was holding a toy poodle, was immediately unhappy. “Lauren, are you suggesting that our family hired people to harm Cain and Hera?”
Lauren said calmly, “I didn’t name names. Why are you so anxious?”
Rooney angrily retorted, “With your hinting, it’s not different than naming names! First, you said we hired assassins to assassinate Hera, and now you’re saying that the same person is probably behind both cases. Isn’t this a blatant attack on our family?”
Lauren’s eyes showed a cold light. “Are you just upset because I hit the nail on the head?”
“Why you…”
“Enough!”

Herman slapped the chessboard, causing the chess pieces to scatter everywhere.
He coldly looked at the two. “You two start arguing the moment you see each other. Do you even have any respect for me?”
Seeing the old man getting angry, the two finally shut their mouths.
Lauren was still very happy in her heart. Although the old man had lost his memory, he was no longer biased toward Hubert’s family like he was before.
Rooney, however, almost plucked her poodle bald.
It was not until the little poodle let out a yelp that she released her chubby hand that was gripping the dog’s fur.
At this time, Helena came down from upstairs.
She was on the phone, exchanging sweet words with Kai.
Meanwhile, Nash and Hera also entered the villa from outside.
“Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Uncle, good evening!”
Hera greeted sweetly.
“Uncle, Aunt, Ol’ Mr. Lewises, good evening!”
Nash followed suit in greeting.
