"The assistant said you wanted to speak with me,"
Ivana Bennett was not sure what was going on, but upon hearing from the lawyer Chen that she should return Lucas Walker's call, she promptly dialed his number.
Lucas shot a sideways glance at his assistant standing not too far away. The assistant hung her head and pretended not to notice, with her teeth clenched tight.
Meanwhile, Ivana had already asked a question on the other end of the line.
"Has something happened?"
Glancing at the dignified woman and others in front of him, Lucas turned to go back to his Office Room.
"Butler, see the guests out!"
"Yes, Master," the old butler responded, then gave a slight bow to the dignified woman, "Duchess, please go home. I will try to persuade the count to stay and attend the celebration."
Her blue eyes watched Lucas walk back into his Office Room to take the call through the open door, the pupils slowly contracting.
Her insistence could not change her son's mind.
