Chapter 178
Knowing Austin would try to sto
stop him, he quickly slipped inside before Austin could react.
A flash of anger crossed Auster’s face as he quickly caught up to Lucas. Sure enough, Emily, who had been lost in her creative world, was frowning, clearly disturbed by the commotion.
He grabbed Lucas, who was about to barge past him, and yanked him back. “Mr. Bennett, if you’re looking for your sister, you must be lost. That’s trespassing, you know. I could totally call the cops.”
Lucas angrily shock off his hand. “Since when does a pretty boy like you get to bull into the Bennett family’s business? Get lost. I need to talk to Emily alone. She’s my sister, not y
t yours.”
Austin didn’t even get mad at the insult. “Thanks for the compliment. Even if for me, so if anyone needs to leave, it’s you?”
pretty boy, I’m Emily’s pretty boy She’s the one who rented this place
“You…” Lucas was so stunned he couldn’t even finish his sentence. He honestly never expected anyone to wear the label “prettyboy” like a badge of honor, and for a moment, he was completely speechless.
Emily, who had been annoyed by the interruption, found her irritation vanish instantly thanks to Austin’s comeback.
She put down her paintbrush, grabbed a wet wipe to clean her hands, and walked in from the balcony. “Mr. Bennett, are you lost! Your sister isn’t here.”
Lucas frowned, clearly annoyed, and deliberately stressed the word “Sis, I really need to talk to you about something important…
“Mr. Bennett, if you keep calling me your sister, then please leave Emily’s voice was sharp, full of disdain and anger.
He was the one who said he didn’t have a sister like her, that Lydia was the only one he recognized.
And now he suddenly starts calling me that again? Doesn’t he find it disgusting? Emily thought, feeling a wave of revulsion.
Lucas froze, clearly not expecting her to yell at him like that.
But Austin, as if he’d just been handed a royal edict, planted himself right in front of Lucas, all smug. “Did you hear that? Your sister in’t here”
“I came here today to bring you some good news, Emily. Don’t be so clueless. You don’t know a good thing when you see it!” he shot back angrily.
Lucas was still annoyed, but when she asked, he couldn’t help but look smug. “You always say we only trust Lydia and not you, so went out of my way to investigate the kidnapping of you and Lydia. I’ve actually found some clues.”
He litted his chin and looked at Emily. “Yeah, I know you’re always scheming and playing tricks, but since you keep complaining about being treated unfairly, I actually took the time and spent two months” allowance to look into it.
