Right in front of Hannah, Valerie wrapped her arms around Lucius' and said in a sweet, syrupy voice, "Of course, he should be making exceptions for me. After all, my dear cousin treats me the best."
Cousin?
The word surprised Lucius for a moment.
What kind of bizarre role had Valerie thrown herself into this time?
Sure enough, a flicker of jealousy appeared in Hannah's eyes when Valerie clung to his arm.
There was the proof she was looking for. Valerie had always wondered why Hannah, whom Valerie had never interacted with before, would treat her with such hostility.
Sure enough, it was all because of Lucius, the scumbag.
Valerie was never someone who would let herself be at a disadvantage. Whatever Hannah hated, Valerie would deliberately do.
She hung off Lucius' arm like a koala, using a voice so sweet that even she found it disgusting. "Lucius, my leg suddenly hurts a little. Carry me to the dining table, would you?"
Lucius, leaning on his cane, was speechless.
Hannah couldn't stand it anymore. "Mr. White's leg is still injured, Ms. Collins. Please don't make things difficult for him."
She had already disliked Valerie to begin with, but the irritation was boiling over now.
In the next second, Lucius tossed his cane aside and swept Valerie into his arms.
Hannah's eyes burned with fury. What was so special about Valerie that made Lucius spoil her like this?
In truth, Lucius' leg injury was only superficial. His bones were fine, and the crutch was merely a ruse meant to mislead outsiders.
The dining table wasn't far away, but Lucius still couldn't bring himself to put her down.
He chuckled softly. "Once we sit down, do you want me to feed you, too?"
Valerie blinked at him, licking her slightly dry lips as she replied teasingly, "Sure, Lucius. I'll wait for you to feed me."
A wicked fire surged through Lucius, setting his whole body ablaze.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of where they were, he might've already torn away every barrier on her body.
