Chapter 102 It Was Not Good to Leave Her Behind “The people at the foot of the mountain are all ours. I don’t think they have the ability to enter.” The man’s words sounded very confident. Hearing this, Emily heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak, Lucas spoke again. “However, we won’t be able to go down the mountain in a short period of time. Let’s stay here in the afternoon and see what will happen later.” Hearing this, Emily did not refute. They had just gotten rid of those people not long ago. Who knew if they would still be waiting for them somewhere. It was indeed a temporary solution not to leave for now. Emily was helpless and said, “Mr. Greens, I really didn’t expect that I would have to face life- threatening situations when I was with you.” Lucas couldn’t help but smile. “Doctor Armstrong, it’s just that your luck is not good. I’ve only met you twice in total, but somehow both times you are put into trouble.” Emily was speechless. She could not help but sigh. Her luck was really bad… “Alright, let’s go in.”
Then, she followed behind Lucas and walked directly into the villa. Just as she walked in, Emily was stunned by the scene in front of her. This was not a villa, but a mountain retreat! This manor was very spacious. Just the front yard was bigger than s private garden. Walking further inside, she saw a wide golf course with pleasant scenery. Emily glanced around and sighed. Sure enough, the difference between rich and poor in the world was so great. Lucas brought Emily directly into the courtyard. As soon as they sat down, the butler came up to them. “Sir, Miss, what do you want to drink?” “I just want a glass of water, thank you.” Emily nodded. Her stomach was so uncomfortable just now, so it was good to drink a glass of warm water now. “Are you feeling better now?” Looking at Emily’s ugly expression, Lucas asked again, his brows revealing a bit of worry Emily shook her head and replied, “I’m fine. I’m much better now.” “Really?” “Yes, really.” Emily nodded. Lucas was relieved. He looked around and continued, “Then you can walk around. If you have anything to say, just call the butler. I will go to deal with the work first.” Then, he called the butler and gave him some instructions. “Okay, Mr. Greens, if you are busy, you can go directly. I can look around by myself. It is a good time to walk around.”
Seeing this, Lucas stood up. Mason followed behind them, and the two of them went to the study. As soon as they entered the door, Lucas’ face suddenly sank, and it was extremely ugly. “How is the situation down the mountain?” he asked coldly. Mason stepped forward and quickly checked the monitor on the computer. The surveillance image appeared on the screen at the same time. The group of people followed behind them and also arrived at the foot of the mountain. However, they were directly stopped by Lucas’ subordinates at the foot of the mountain. The two groups of people obviously had a fight. The scene was a mess, and many people had already fallen to the ground, looking battered and exhausted. The fight continued. Lucas stared at the screen and narrowed his sharp eyes. Although there were many people in that group, in terms of martial strength, they were far inferior to Lucas’ subordinates. Not long after, they were defeated, and a person was directly caught. Seeing this, Lucas’ eyes became even colder, and he said coldly, “Go and ask who sent him after us.” The aura around him was fierce, and he looked even more threatening. Last time, he let them run away, giving those people a chance. This time, he wouldn’t let them off easy! “Okay, Mr. Greens,” Mason nodded. After receiving the order, Mason turned around and left. Only Lucas was left in the study room. He turned off the monitoring and began to deal with the urgent documents in his mailbox. About an hour later, he was done with his work. He rubbed his tired shoulders, got up, and walked to the huge French window. Every time he finished his work, Lucas always liked to stand by the window, quietly looking at the scenery in the distance and relaxing his eyes. Just as he looked out of the window, suddenly, Emily’s figure came into view. At this time, Emily was bored and was wandering around. She walked to the back garden, as if she had discovered an amazing new continent, and began to scan everywhere. She looked and smelled around. She even squatted down and began to pinch the soil on the ground, as if she was thinking about something. Lucas frowned. Was this woman too bored? It was indeed not good for him to bring her here for no reason and leave her behind. Thinking about this, Lucas turned around and went downstairs. He saw that Emily was still squatting on
the ground with a curious look on her face. He could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?” Hearing this, Emily got up, surprise flashing through her eyes. She was a little surprised and said, “Mr. Greens, I just found that the soil in your area is very suitable for planting rare herbs.” “I was just wondering, if it is convenient, can I ask you to give me a piece of land? | have some precious seeds in my hand, but unfortunately, I can’t find a suitable place to plant them. This medicinal herb is very helpful for your follow-up treatment!”
