Semua Bab The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard: Bab 21 - Bab 30

"Grandpaaa." Lucia said in a slightly high tone. "You can't do that. I don't want that and of course, Lucas does not want that either." Lucia said and turned to Lucas. Giving him a deathly stare, she dared him to say otherwise. Lucas on the other hand quickly composed himself."Yes, boss. I don't want that." He didn't say so because Hugh and Lucia were staring down at him. 'This demon couple. They should stop scaring me.' Lucia thought grudgingly in his mind. Grandpa James looked from Lucia to Lucas with a serious gaze. His stare made the duo a bit scared.They dreaded what he would say next. Lucia would not be able to refuse her grandpa if he arranged a marriage with Lucas for her. 'How did he even think of that?' She asked herself. Her head moved stealthily to the side to observe Hugh's reaction and her heart broke.Hugh had an unbothered expression on his face. His gaze was directed at the window, looking at the sky. Lucia turned her head back and at that point, if grandpa James sa

The recording of his conversation was played and it echoed in the meeting room. Eddy had a pale look on his face as he listened to his voice."...For an exchange, I'll give you 5% shares of Young Corporation." Melanie's voice sounded out. Her offer wasn't something Eddy could refuse. If Melanie was willing to give up 5% shares, just to bring down Alix Enterprise and then buy it, he saw no reason to refuse."Sure, I will do as you say. I will use the media for the first step of the plan." Eddy said. Happiness could be detected in the tone of his voice. "Up to you then." Melanie replied. Lucas ended the recording, even though there was still more to be said. If Eddy wanted to counter that the recording was fake, his reaction had already given him away. "Y..you." Eddy pointed a shaky finger at Lucia, eyes blazing in anger. Lucia spread her arms, her stance indicated that she was just doing what she was supposed to do."Lucas." Lucia called out again. Lucas immediately knew what she want

"Are you alright?" Hugh asked Lucia as they walked into the penthouse. Lucia turned around and hugged Hugh all of a sudden. It was like she was waiting for Hugh to talk. Hugh held her and patted her back continuously. He waited for Lucia to answer his question. That was the thing he cared about."Do you think I was too harsh on him?" Lucia asked in a shaky voice. Her doe-like eyes looked up at him and Hugh melted. At this point, he would give up anything and say Lucia was right. But he had to restrain that thinking. He then asked Lucia, "What do you think is harsh?"His question made Lucia scrunch her brows. Inwardly, she knew she was harsh to her grandpa. He was only trying to keep her safe. "Come here." She heard Hugh say and he led her toward the couch. Hugh sat on it and rested his waist on the handrest. He then guided Lucia to sit between his legs. Lucia settled between Hugh's legs and rested her back on his chest. She felt soothed, her body ached from the long meeting she had.

It was a Monday morning, Hugh opened the car door for Lucia and she got down. She stood straight in a white crisp shirt tucked into a fitted black skirt. She had 4-inch block heels on, making her almost as tall as Hugh. She murmured a thank you to Hugh and turned to face the company building. And of course, Lucia had a black mask on her face. The mask was a bit big, covering her nose and mouth entirely. She had also put on lenses and also applied light makeup on her face. Her real appearance couldn't be deciphered by anyone. Hugh on the other hand had a face cap over his head.He had made little modifications to his face as well. A few reporters were standing outside and they came rushing as soon as they spotted Lucia. She took a deep breath immediately after she saw the reporters coming. She had prepared for this before appearing that day.Hugh quickly walked to stand before Lucia. He shielded her while glaring at the reporters who were about to shove cameras and microphones toward

It was too sudden for Lucia and she couldn't dodge Sarah on such short notice. It wasn't surprising that it was Sarah who had jumped out of the shadow. Hugh heard the sudden noise. Sarah moved her hand to yank the mask off Lucia's face. Lucia noticed and couldn't stand there without doing anything.She raised her leg to kick Sarah on her calf which caused Sarah to stumble. Hugh had turned back already to catch Sarah by the neck but she still managed to yank the mask off Lucia's face. Lucia's heart rate sped up while Sarah was looking at her bare face. Hugh tightened his hand around Sarah's neck which made her gasp for her.There was always a spare mask in Hugh's pocket for Lucia. It was kept there for unexpected situations like this. Hugh took out the mask and threw it to Lucia. Lucky enough for them, there was no one in sight. The directors were already seated in the board room. Lucia caught the mask in her hand and she immediately wore it. As soon as she wore it, the door opened to
