Chapter 144
Evelyn stared at him fiercely. She picked up the chopsticks on the table and buried herself to eat rice. It seemed that she wanted to hide the blush on her face by this action. She didn't know that even if she covered her face, the pink ears betrayed her.
"Don't just eat rice. Then people who don't know will think I mistreated you."
Lucas looked at her shy appearance and could not help teasing again: "Moreover, you are thin. If you lose weight again it will be more uncomfortable to hold!"
With his last words speaking out, Evelyn became more shy and her cheeks were hot.
"Lucas, you are a hooligan!"
She gritted her teeth and screamed. Lucas quickly clipped some food for her and comforted her by saying, "Okay, I won't make fun of you again. Have a good meal!" Evelyn looked at the meat in the bowl and sneered.
She finished her meal quickly without giving Lucas the chance to refuse. She just said a sentence and left.
"I'm full. I have to finish my design at home. I'll go now."
Lucas could not help laughing as he looked at her angry back.
Immediately, he glanced at the position that Evelyn sat, and found that there was something of the woman left on it.
"This woman is careless."
He muttered. He picked up her cell phone from the sofa and walked out the door.
Evelyn didn't know that Lucas came after her.
After she went downstairs, she didn't expect that she could meet John, who was very aggressive.
She had guessed the reason why John appeared here at this time. It must relate to the matter of compensation.
Thinking about it. She came up and stopped him.
"What are you doing here?"
John looked at Evelyn, who suddenly appeared. At first, he was stunned. Then he asked in a bad temper, "What do you think I'm doing here? I ask you, what does Lucas mean by going to sue me? Did he really ignore our relationship? Don't forget, I'm his father-in- law!" After listening to his words, Evelyn really wanted to rolled her eyes at him.
"Well, you know you are his father-in-law now. Why can't you remember that when you were getting him into trouble?"This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She sneered and satirized, "Don't you know what you have done? You are not ashamed to say that. Our company is ruined by you. You deserve it!"
John was never criticized like that and it was Evelyn who he had always looked down upon.
Suddenly, his face was dark enough.
"Is that the way you talk to me? You are not educated!"
He scolded, but Evelyn immediately retaliated.
"Your are right. After all, since I was a child, my father was like being dead. No one taught me, I had to be uneducated." "You...!"
John was furious at her cursing.
He had a ferocious face, raising his hand to hit Evelyn.
While his palm was about to fall, a slender and visible hand stopped him.
"Mr. Davis, Nora is my wife now. Should you ask me for permission if you beat her?"
Lucas said in a cold voice, with chill in his eyes.
He shook John's hand forcefully off and glanced at Evelyn who was frightened. He frowned and his heart was full of doubts.
It said that John loved Nora so much. How could he beat her?
What a shrewd man John was. He just frowned a little and guessed the doubts in his heart.
His face changed a little and said in a low voice with a sullen face: "Mr Hawk had misunderstood. I just wanted to greet Nora."
After he finished, he look at Evelyn with warning and shifted the topic and said, "Come on, Lucas,you are here. I just have something to talk to you."
Evelyn knew what he wanted to talk about, and regardless of his warning, she was angry and said, "Dad, don't go too far. There's no need to talk about it at all."
When John heard this, his face became more terrible and his eyes were full of anger.
If Lucas wasn't here, he would really like to teach the woman who has forgotten who she is.
Lucas noticed the anger in their silence, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Nora, you go back first, just as I want to talk to Mr Davis."
He patted Evelyn on shoulder to soothe her.
However, Evelyn still worried. She wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lucas.
"Don't worry. It will be fine. Trust me, ok?"
The last word, with a gentle nasal sound, made Evelyn unable to refuse but have to turn around and leave.
As she left, Lucas glanced at John indifferently.
"Cater, take Mr Davis upstairs."
He ordered in a cold voice and turned into the elevator, ignored no matter how terrible John felt.
A few minutes later, they entered the office.
Lucas didn't say anything first but dealt with desk documents by himself, as if John wasn't here.
John was annoyed by his attitude.
Thinking of his purpose of this visit, he could only resist. Then he broke the silence, said: "Lucas, you see our two families are in such a interdependent relationship. If you sue me then both of us will lose face. It's better for you to cancel the charge and we deal with it personally." Lucas looked at him with a fake smile and a cold light in his eyes.
"I'm afraid you had forgot that I've always had a clear distinction between public and private. Nora should have told to you at the beginning, don't use fabrics with bad quality but you don't listen to her advice. Now our company's reputation has been damaged. All the compensation was up to tens of millions. But these losses are due to your fabrics problems. Of course you have to take responsibility!"
In the end, he spoke in a firm voice.
John was red-faced and wanted to refute, but he had nothing to refute.
Lucas ignored him and saw that he didn't say anything, he emphasized his position again.
"Mr Davis, I hope that the next time when you talk with me, don't be so emotional. In business there's no emotion, I think you should understand. Then if you want to cooperate with me in the future, I will not refuse, of course, will not readily agree." When he said this, deliberately paused, waiting to see what John would say.
After he stopped, John frowned discontentedly. "What do you mean, Mr. Hawk?"
Lucas looked at him lightly and said in a cold voice, "Of course because of this incident. You should understand that the company is not mine. There are many shareholders. Only in this way can I give an explanation to the shareholders, and if you want to continue to cooperate, you can only accept my conditions."
John was angry, which undoubtedly broke his financial path and plan.
But if he didn't promise, he would lose more.
Just as he was thinking, Lucas seemed to be exhausted with patience and murmured, "If you think it's not right, you can go back and think it over. If you have an answer, you can inform me then. Now I have something to do. Forgive me not to send you out. Cater, send Mr Davis out!"
He pressed the bell to let Cater in.
John was so angry with his attitude of expelling guests, but he had nothing to do but turn around and leave.
