Chapter 2

"Stop talking."

Lucas interrupted him unhappily.

Ethan withdrew his hand awkwardly, and the others jokingly said, "Is Lucas going to feel bad?"

Sophia's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of hatred flashed across her eyes.

I lowered my eyes and glanced at her belly.

I was a little confused, but I recognized with my sharp eyes that the heirloom ring from Rothschild Estate on her hand was a fake.

I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Sophia has been doing worse than her dog in the past three years.

But Lucas loves her so much, how could he bear to let his white moonlight suffer such injustice?

When Lucas heard me laughing, he probably thought I was being sentimental because of what someone else said.

He looked down at me and explained:

"I'm overthinking. How could I possibly feel sorry for her?"

"She is just a dog given by my Rothschild Estate."

"Sylvia, don't be too happy too soon, and don't even think about using the cat to beg for my forgiveness. No matter what you do, I will never fall in love with you."

He took out a thick stack of banknotes and threw it lightly into the dirty water at my feet.

"I don't like this kind of self-deprecation either. This money is enough for you to buy ten wild cats. Pick them up and disappear from my sight."

I rolled my eyes and said calmly, "Lucas, don't be so sentimental. I don't love you anymore."

Lucas was completely enraged by my attitude of ignoring him, and a look of extreme impatience appeared on his face.

He took out his cell phone and swiped it twice quickly, then looked at me in disbelief.

"Sylvia, you blocked me?"

Then, Lucas nodded as if he understood something.

"I see. Is this your trick of playing hard to get? Unfortunately, I won't be fooled."

I was too lazy to explain to him that three million dollars was not enough to cover Muffin's monthly expenses.

"Lucas, we've broken up, isn't it normal for me to block you?"

"You have to understand that the correct relationship between ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend is to not disturb each other."

I looked at him meaningfully and spoke slowly.

Lucas’ WeChat and phone number were blocked by his family member himself.

He got very angry with me and it took me a long time to calm him down.

Lucas's expression darkened and he clenched his fists.

Sophia bit her lip, her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Sylvia, I know you're still bothered by what happened back then."

"But I really can't blame Brother Lucas at the time. After all, we raised Duke together for five years. He just wanted me to be happy. I didn't expect you to misunderstand him."

"But it's all in the past and we can't go back. We will invite you to our wedding. Please stop pestering Brother Lucas, okay?"

Seeing this, Ethan sneered and pushed me.

"The rotten bones that come out of slums are just cheap! She used to be the mistress, why are you still rushing to be the mistress now!"

My lower back hit the protruding pipe behind me, and I gasped in pain.

Lucas reached out his hand quickly and pulled me out.

He looked at me, wet and covered in mud, with pity in his eyes, and his tone softened a little.

"Back then I just wanted to play a joke on you, but I didn't expect you to care so much and be so vain. I just wanted you to play along..."

As soon as he said this, the sense of absurdity almost overwhelmed me.

Three years have passed, and he still thinks I did it for the money!

I was so angry that I laughed.

Chapter 3

That nightmarish engagement party simply trampled underfoot my personality and dignity and crushed them.

For the next three months, I didn't dare go out or see anyone, for fear of hearing my name mentioned by anyone.

Ten years ago I was adopted by the Rothschild Estate and was rejected by everyone.

Only Lucas was different. He beat up the people who bullied me and protected me like a little hero.

In order to repay him, I tried my best to persuade Sophia to accept Lucas's confession.

They were together for five years, and finally Sophia and her family moved abroad, and she cruelly broke up with Lucas.

After Lucas fell into despair, he began to pursue me vigorously.

I was young then and it was easy to be moved.

It was not until Sophia returned to China in a high-profile manner that Lucas became busy and gradually even stopped going home.

I even thought about giving him another chance.

But I saw the prenatal examination report sent by Sophia with my own eyes.

Thinking of this, I still feel a little choked.

"Lucas, put away your inexplicable sense of superiority. I don't want to go back to you at all."

"I'm married and have children, and we are a happy family of three!"

"Sylvia! Shut up! Who would want someone as shameless as you..."

Lucas pulled me so hard that I staggered and almost fell on top of him.

He pinched my chin and forced me to look up.

I clearly saw his pupils suddenly shrink, and the angry, controlling expression on his face froze in an instant.

"My husband is narrow-minded. I advise you to let me go immediately. If you offend him, you will suffer the consequences."

"What did you say? What tricks are you playing?"

I don't want to waste any more time talking to him.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Muffin shivering as he went deeper into the pipe.

Just as she was about to break free, Sophia screamed and fell into Lucas' arms.

Lucas subconsciously protected her.

There was another burst of laughter all around.

"Lucas, don't believe her. She probably found a poor guy to take over the child. She might not even know who the father of the child is."

Lucas smiled and nodded thoughtfully.

"Are you inspired by the fact that Sophia and I are getting married? Are you planning to trick me into a fake marriage?"

I broke free from his hand and quickly grabbed Muffin and held it in my arms.

I comforted the shivering little girl while looking at Lucas, "You are so dramatic."

Now that Muffin has been found, the little ancestor will be happy.

I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped out of the stinky ditch.

Those who were watching the fun covered their noses.

I smiled and was about to leave, but before I took two steps, Ethan grabbed me.

"Don't go! I know this stray cat."

“That's the heir of Hayes Dynasty's cat from his social media”

"Tell me, why did you sneak away Alexander's cat?"

The faces of the people around me changed, and dozens of eyes were fixed on the cat in my arms.

"This is the cat I have been feeding for three months. How did it become someone else's?"

Ethan crossed his arms, sneered, and nodded thoughtfully: "I was wondering why you were here, it turns out you secretly ran to Hayes Family to be a nanny."

"What is your purpose? For the Hayes Family Heir of Hayes Dynasty? Then I can only tell you not to dream."

"Heir of Hayes Dynasty has already married and had children. He is a perfect match for you. You are not even worthy of shining his shoes."

Lucas's brows relaxed. "Sylvia, don't lose face just to curry favor with the rich and powerful."

"For all the years we've been together, I'll give you a living. You quit your job now and come back with me to work as a nanny at Rothschild Estate."

Chapter 4

"You don't need to do anything, just keep an eye on the door."

After he finished speaking, someone else followed up, "Isn't this a guard dog? It suits her very well."

I slapped Lucas.

“Are you dreaming?”

"The dust leaking from my fingernails is enough for you to live for a lifetime. Do you still need your charity?"

Everyone shut up and looked at me in surprise.

Ethan was the first to react. He kicked me and I fell to the ground.

I subconsciously protected Muffin, fell to the ground, and everything in my pockets flew out.

A fruit candy fell in front of Lucas.

He stared at it for a long time, was stunned at first, and then his eyes trembled violently.

"Sylvia, you're being stubborn again. I just gave you some cheap candy, why are you keeping it?"

I looked at the fruit candy that fell into the sewage.

My thoughts were brought back to eight years ago.

Although I was funded by the Rothschild Estate, I stopped accepting money from the Rothschild Estate after I went to college and was able to earn money. I took classes during the day and worked three jobs at night, and I was so tired that I could fall asleep while standing.

One night, I was so tired that I fainted in an alley due to hypoglycemia.

Lucas suddenly appeared and carried me to the hospital.

He took out a candy from somewhere and stuffed it into my mouth, "Eat it and you won't feel dizzy anymore."

He clumsily wiped the dust off my face and said, "I will bring you one every day from now on. You have to take good care of it."

He really did it, one pill a day, without fail, until Sophia came back.

Sophia stepped on her high heels, and her expensive heels crushed the candy into pieces.

"Sylvia, stop acting like a sympathetic child."

"Are you trying to remind Brother Lucas how pathetic you were back then so he'll soften his heart?"

Lucas's eyes moved to my face, his expression was hard to read, and finally turned into a hint of impatient disgust.

"Humph, it's all just a trick to appease children. I only love Sophia."

I endured the pain in my lower back and the stench all over my body and turned away.

I have to take Muffin to clean up the dirt on his body so that I can send it to the little ancestor.

There is also a candy for the little ancestor, I have to buy him another one.

"stop!"

"What's this?"

Ethan held a black and gold room card in his phone, with the three big words "Alexander Hayes" written on it.

"How dare you steal the room card of Heir of Hayes Dynasty! Sylvia, you are so bold!"

"It seems that we guessed it right. You just want to climb into the bed of Heir of Hayes Dynasty!"

When the security guards heard the three big words "Heir of Hayes Dynasty", they all gathered around.

"This bitch stole the room card, why don't you deal with it quickly."

They came to catch me without a second thought.

"Get out of the way!" I dodged sideways.

"This is my room card, give it back to me!"

With a snap, the sound of a slap echoed in the air.

My cheeks swelled up rapidly.

Ethan grabbed my hair and pushed me to the ground.

"If we don't take care of this today, none of us will be able to escape!"

The people around him also echoed: "Yeah, Heir of Hayes Dynasty has a terrible temper."

"All the women who tried to get into the bed of Heir of Hayes Dynasty in the past never had a good ending."

"Why don't we get rid of her for Heir of Hayes Dynasty today? Maybe Heir of Hayes Dynasty will be happy and assign a few of us to cooperate with them."

They looked at each other and started tearing my clothes.

"Tear off all her stinky clothes, and everyone take more videos and photos."

I curled up on the ground and struggled desperately.

"Let me go! You will regret it."

"Shut up!" Ethan tore a piece of clothing to cover my mouth.
