His Eagle Eyes on Me

Lucas frowned at Caspian. "I have nothing now. If I go to Aryadelle with her, what will I do there? How will her family see me?"

"Who cares about how they see you? As long as Ivy likes you, it's all good! Besides, if you go to Aryadelle, her family will naturally arrange for something for you to do."

"I don't want that. I don't want to be dependent on others. I had enough of that a long time ago," Lucas retorted.

"Are you going to give up on Ivy then? She is an amazing girl! Lucas, why are you being so stubborn?" Caspian spoke seriously. "If your mom finds out about this, she'll definitely want you to be with Ivy. If you're with Ivy, you'll save yourself twenty years of struggle! No, scratch that! Twenty years don't even cut it! If you're with Ivy, you won't have to struggle for the rest of your life! I've looked into Elliot's background; their whole family is a bunch of business geniuses. Each one of them is incredibly impressive individually."

"Which is exactly why I can't be with Ivy." Lucas' tone was determined. "Our company's investment comes from Ivy's family, too."

Caspian sighed. "Damn, those people are really freaking rich! They can casually throw around millions. Since you want to build a career, take this investment and make the most of it. Once your career is established, you can go to Aryadelle with Ivy."

"Now that I know this investment is from Ivy's family, there's no way I will accept it. I'll talk to Anson and have the contract terminated."

Caspian instantly fell silent.

Meanwhile, Hayden and Shelly sat on beachside loungers, enjoying the sea breeze. Hayden's phone rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Anson, Hayden immediately answered.

"Mr. Tate, Lucas doesn't want our investment anymore," Anson said.

Hayden frowned. "Why not?"

"He found Ivy's identity out."

"Ivy told him?" Hayden asked.

Anson confirmed, "Yes. He seems pretty shaken by it."

Hayden coldly laughed. "Feeling inferior, huh?"

"Seems like it. He wants to terminate the contract. Should we ask him for compensation?"

"If you're not afraid of Ivy tearing you apart, go ahead and do that."

Anson shrank in his seat.

After hanging up, Hayden took off his sunglasses.

"What happened to Ivy? Nothing's wrong, right?" Shelly asked.

Hayden held his phone, wondering if he should message Ivy, as he answered Shelly's question, "It's nothing. Lucas found out about Ivy's identity, and now he won't accept my investment."

Shelly seemed surprised. "I thought he would be happy after knowing Ivy's identity!"

"Who knows if he's just pretending? Let's observe for now!"

"Well, in any case, Ivy just graduated. She can't possibly get married so soon, Shelly commented.

In Taronia, Ivy woke up and realized that it was past seven at night.

She grabbed her phone and called Lucas, who answered the call right away.

"I'm sorry! I fell asleep! I promised that we would visit your mom together. Have you eaten?"

"No," he said.

Lucas had been waiting for Ivy as he had promised to go to dinner with her.

"Oh. Where are you now? Should I come over to where you are?"
