Chapter 224 Acting Nice
Lucian’s face wan darkened and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
Calista glared at him for a moment. She was somewhat tired and blinked her sore eyes, intending to
leave. But before she could take a step, he grabbed her hand.
“Paul was a gentleman for not taking advantage of someone in distress, and I didn’t touch you either. Why
haven’t you mentioned it, huh?”
His grip tightened, clearly Infuriated.
“Have you already decided that I’m the bad guy no matter what?”
Calista was a bit stunned. She hadn’t expected Lucian to be angry about this matter. His relentless
questioning left her mind blank.
She blurted out, “Miss Scott was taken away five minutes ago.”
Weren’t they discussing this?
Lucian saw her looking at the door and sneered sarcastically. “Why are you so concerned? Do you plan to
help her out?”
He was the expert in playing the blame game.
Calista rolled her eyes, “She’s not just your ex–girlfriend. Her father died because of you. You’re the one
who visits his grave every New Year’s Day. If you aren’t worried, why should I?”
Only Calista dared speak to Lucian in such a tone. Lucian remained silent.
They were the only two left in the office. Calista had wanted to leave as soon as Lily was taken away, but Lucian pulled her back, and she couldn’t break free.
raised her hand, showing him the red mark on her wrist from his grip. “You hurt me.”
Hearing that she was in pain, Lucian immediately loosened his grip but still didn’t let go entirely.
‘She asked for a favor some time ago. We’re even now.”
Calista murmured, “Oh.”
She wasn’t interested in their past affairs. She still felt the effects of the drug Lily gave. The burning
sensation in her lower abdomen hadn’t completely subsided.
Lucian looked down at her face. It was evident that she was tired, and there was a faint bruise on her

word from Lucian.
He couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Northwood, if Miss Scott continues to shout like this, it might tarnish you
reputation.”
After being thrown into the room, Lily had been continuously calling out Lucian’s name. Her moans and
heavy panting were suggestive.
Anyone hearing this might get the wrong idea, thinking that Lucian was sleeping with her No one dared to
approach her room under such circumstances
She already looked off when taken upstairs, and many saw it. Combined with her constant cries for Lucian, by now, the rumor might have already spread within the bar
Lucian, pinching his brow impatiently, said, “Then clear that floor. Do I need to teach you something so
simple?”
“But what about Miss Calista’s order?”
Calista’s instructions were to leave the door open and leave it to fate. This implied that she was leaving
Lily to her own devices.
Clearing the floor of people would be against Calista’s instructions. Lucian lit a cigarette. As he exhaled, he narrowed his eyes.
“Her hands are meant for restoring artifacts. They should remain clean and shouldn’t be tainted by such filthy matters. Besides, many people saw Lily’s condition tonight. If anything happens, Calista won’t be
able to walk away.”
Mr. Wilson was unsure if Lucian was concerned about Calista getting into trouble or trying to protect Lily.

Mr. Wilson smiled, “Mr. Bo sent me. He sald he didn’t want you to dirty your hands.”
Calista remained silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and headed downstairs.
This move took Mr. Wilson by surprise. He quickly followed her and asked, “Miss Calista, where are you
going?”
“Why is that bastard being nice? He must’ve done something wrong! Did he let Lily go?” she sneered.
