Chapter 3

"Miss Amy, the butler repeatedly warned us that this yard is a restricted area. Without Lucien's orders, no one is allowed here. Maybe we should leave..."

"Look at you, so easily scared? I'm Lucien's favorite. His restrictions don't apply to me!"

"Besides, didn't you see? Lucien's office is filled with my photos. It won't be long before I become Mrs. Lucien. Why can't I enter a small yard?"

The woman spoke with dissatisfaction, her voice full of confidence.

Mentioning Lucien, her tone was filled with undisguised sweetness.

Several women agreed with her.

"Exactly, everyone knows how much Lucien likes Miss Amy. He would never be angry with her!"

"And everyone at the company saw it. Lucien comes to this villa every night. Who knows if there's a seductress inside luring him?"

I frowned, wanting to sleep, but now I was disturbed, a heaviness in my chest.

From their words, I guessed the arrogant woman was Lucien's new lover, the illegitimate daughter of the Amy family.

Rumor had it she resembled me by seventy percent, and Lucien had even taken her to three important banquets.

No wonder she was so arrogant, but she hadn't seen Lucien's frightening side.

I remembered not long ago, a new employee got lost in the villa and accidentally opened my yard door. Lucien immediately fired him, banning him from ever working there again.

With that in mind, I suppressed my annoyance and got up to persuade her to leave, but unexpectedly, the yard door was kicked open.
