"Ah, think twice before scolding me with any foul words, Aunt Allegra. After all, no matter how much you like to call me a bastard behind my father's back, he will not be happy if you continue calling me that." Lucas started with a smile. "I mean, a bastard is someone who doesn't know who his father is. I, on the other hand, know what the identity of my father is."

"That's where you are wrong, aren't you? Being someone who is more capable than someone who has to rely on a woman is good enough already. I don't think blood ties would mean anything when I help the company soar higher than anyone else could ever make it," Lucas offered a soft smile to Madam Allegra, and Mia could almost smell the scent of gunpowder in the air.
