Without even opening his eyes, Lucas replied coolly, "I have so many cars. I'll sit in whichever one I want."

Aveline was speechless.

Fair enough.

She decided not to say anything more. Closing the car door, the vehicle started and drove away from the nursing home.

At that moment, Lucas's phone rang. He pulled it out to see that it was a call from Aaron.

"What is it?" he answered, his tone indifferent.

Aaron snickered. "What's going on? You're so grumpy just because I didn't go with you?"

"Shut up." Lucas' tone turned even colder, and he was about to hang up.

"Wait!" Aaron quickly interjected. "I went to check on that Juliet's identity. Guess who she is?"

Lucas, clearly uninterested, remained silent. If Aaron were there in person, he would see Lucas' expression looking particularly unpleasant.

Aaron, sensing Lucas's mood, stopped teasing and went straight to the point. "She's the heiress of the Cooper family in Larbor City, Gernard's sister. From what I've heard, she's spoiled and arrogant, and the Coopers dote on her endlessly." Lucas' tone remained cold. "And what does that have to do with me?"

Aaron continued, "Oh, it has everything to do with you. I found out she's been investigating you. Lucas, it seems you've got another admirer."
