Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 67 - Are You a Freebie with a Top-up

As Lucas Shaw contemplated how to deal with the Summers Family, Master Shaw suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Lucas Shaw turned his head to look, only to see Master Shaw staring at the tablet screen with a gloomy and angry expression.

“Lucas, come and see, who is this man?

Why are they saying that our Serena likes this guy?”

Lucas Shaw’s gaze fell on the screen, and he was momentarily stunned.

On the screen, Grace Summers was holding tightly onto a young man’s arm, her face filled with a sweet and proud expression.

She looked towards Serena with a sense of triumph and provocation in her eyes, as if she was flaunting something.

“Serena, come back home.

Mom, Dad, and Brother are all very worried about you!

Mom knows you left home in order to get Brother Everett’s attention and is so angry she fell ill…”

In the video, Grace Summers’ cloyingly affected voice entered his ears, and Lucas Shaw stood there, speechless.

Holding the tablet, Master Shaw spoke out in anger, “Nonsense!

Our Serena has good taste, how could she possibly fancy a man with poor character?”

Saying this, he also cast glances at Lucas Shaw from time to time.

Seeing that Lucas Shaw remained emotionless, with pursed lips and silent, Master Shaw couldn’t quite figure out what was on his mind.

Worried that Lucas Shaw would grow distant with Serena due to this, he hurriedly advised, “All this is just one side of the story from that woman.

Serena is now your wife, and the intimacy between you two is what’s most important.

Lucas, don’t believe these wild tales!”

“I know.

Serena has said, her favorite person is me.”

Lucas Shaw withdrew his gaze, seemingly indifferent to the conversation in the video.

For some reason, Master Shaw felt a hint of pride hidden in his grandson’s tone.

He shook his head helplessly and pointed at the woman in the video, “That woman must be Grace Summers, right?

She’s really not that special!

She doesn’t hold a candle to our Serena.

I really don’t know what spell the Summers Family is under, neglecting their own daughter and instead doting on such a piece of work.”

Immersed in the business world for so many years, Master Shaw could tell at a glance that Grace Summers was very calculating.

And this young girl, with her circuitous and insidious words, devalued Serena in both overt and subtle ways.

Lucas Shaw scoffed mockingly, idly toying with his fingers, and mused, “In a couple of days, Everett Parker and Grace Summers will have their engagement ceremony.

I received an invitation from the Parker Family this morning.

Serena asked me to take her there.”

Master Shaw said, “I won’t meddle in the affairs of you young people, but there’s one thing you must remember, protect Serena.

If she is wronged, I’ll be the first to not let you off the hook!”

In Master Shaw’s heart, Serena’s place had far surpassed that of Lucas Shaw.

What is a grandson compared to a granddaughter-in-law?

Seeing Master Shaw’s excessive favoritism towards Serena, Lucas Shaw sighed helplessly, “Grandfather, am I really your grandson?”

“You’re like a free gift with a phone recharge!” Master Shaw snorted coldly, retorting without mercy.

Back in the day, Master Shaw had always wanted a daughter.

But unfortunately, Old Madam Shaw’s health was poor, and she never got pregnant again.

This had become the greatest regret of Master Shaw’s life.

Later, when his son got married, each daughter-in-law turned out to be more troublesome than the other.

It was only after much anticipation that Clara Shaw was born, and yet, unexpectedly, the girl turned out to be arrogant and unruly, constantly getting into trouble from a young age, never giving anyone peace of mind.

Gradually, Master Shaw gave up on expecting anything.

Not until Serena Summers appeared did Master Shaw finally experience how well-behaved and adorable a girl can be.

He lamented countless times, how wonderful it would have been if he had had a daughter instead.

After leaving the study, Lucas Shaw went straight back to the bedroom.

In the room, Serena Summers was still deeply asleep.

As Lucas Shaw walked into the room, he saw a small bulge on the bed.

Serena Summers was tightly wrapped in the bedding, curled up into a small bundle, seemingly sleeping restlessly, even her brows were tightly furrowed.

Lucas Shaw sat by the bed, quietly watching Serena’s sleeping face.

He extended his cool fingertips, gently brushing across Serena’s brow.

In her sleep, Serena seemed to feel something on her face and subconsciously moved, burying herself deeper into the blankets.

Her entire body was tightly wrapped up, leaving only her smooth and full forehead exposed.

Lucas Shaw laughed helplessly as he reached out to pull away the bedding, revealing Serena’s little face.

“Even frowning in your sleep, did you dream of something unhappy?” Lucas Shaw muttered to himself.

“Serena…

rest assured, I will not let go of anyone who has hurt you.”

Lucas Shaw slowly leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on the girl’s smooth, full forehead.

The kiss was utter tenderness, almost outrageously so.

Lucas Shaw stared at Serena for a long time, then quietly left.

After returning to the company, Lucas Shaw ordered Brandon Reese to investigate Everett Parker.

Brandon Reese was somewhat perplexed and asked, “Boss, what aspect do you want to investigate?”

Lucas Shaw stopped in his tracks, his stern face suddenly darkened, and from his thin lips slowly came two words, “Everything.”

He really wanted to see what made the man who had been engaged to Serena previously superior to him.

It must be said, sometimes a man’s competitive desire can be so easily provoked.

Brandon Reese stood still for a while, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Soon, Brandon Reese returned to the office with the information he had gathered.

In the office, Lucas Shaw was handling documents with a cold face, his mind filled with the conversation from the video.

Grace Summers was certain that Serena Summers liked Everett Parker, even believing Serena chose to go to S University because of Everett…

Ha!

How could his Serena possibly fancy someone who couldn’t hold a candle to him in every aspect, and was extremely arrogant to boot?

It wasn’t that Lucas Shaw was overly confident, but in terms of background, power, status, or appearance, Everett Parker was not at all comparable to Lucas Shaw.

Lucas Shaw lowered his gaze, the corners of his lips turning up in a bitter smile.

The only thing he couldn’t compare with Everett Parker was this ravaged body of his.

Would his Serena despise him for that?
