Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Young Lady Was Pushed Down

Lucas Shaw’s tense body suddenly softened, collapsing onto the bed, his complexion even paler and weaker.

"Lucas!" Liam Shaw anxiously walked to the bedside, carefully checking his body.

Brandon Reese furrowed his brow, suddenly feeling a sense of panic and helplessness.

"Eldest Young Master, why did Mr. Lucas Shaw faint?"

Liam Shaw: "...overwhelmed by frustration, it’s nothing serious. Serena said she can cure his poison, so it surely can be cured. It’s just that Lucas can’t overcome his inner turmoil."

Who wouldn’t have difficulty accepting this?

Especially since Lucas loves Serena Summers so much.

The man on the sickbed was pale as paper, and even with his eyes tightly shut, it was hard to hide the handsome yet cold somberness on his face. The fresh blood on his lips hadn’t dried yet, dyeing his lips an eerie shade.

The bright red and extreme white formed a stark contrast.

He looked more like a demon that had just crawled out of hell, making people hesitant to approach.

Brandon Reese heaved a deep sigh of relief, patting his chest, and silently said by the window: "Thank God! Thank God for sparing Mr. Lucas Shaw’s life!"

"Mr. Lucas Shaw is bound for good fortune after surviving a great disaster!"

"That’s enough, do you want to go vegetarian and pray for your boss?" Liam Shaw looked at him disdainfully.

Brandon Reese: "...Praying is fine, but going vegetarian and chanting need not be."

He was one who relished his meat.

A meal without meat left him feeling miserable!

Just thinking about not eating meat for several days, only consuming those vegetables, he felt his skin crawl.

Liam Shaw laughed helplessly, teasingly said: "Didn’t you say you would give your all for Lucas until the very end? Can’t you even do this little thing?"

Brandon Reese always felt Liam Shaw’s smile was a bit sinister, even feeling a chill down his spine.

He reached out to touch his arm, all goosebumps.

He declared resolutely: "I’d rather bleed or be beheaded, but I cannot miss a single meal of meat!"

Absolutely not!

That’s his bottom line!

Liam Shaw: "..."

So, what kind of people are around Lucas?

He chuckled lightly, shaking his head and ordering, "Take care of your boss here; I’ll visit the laboratory for a while."

"Alright, mission guaranteed."

After Liam Shaw left, Brandon Reese stayed by the bedside without moving an inch.

The person on the bed, even in his sleep, was restless.

His eyebrows tightly furrowed, lips tightly pressed into a straight line, his handsome face filled with pain.

Brandon Reese could clearly hear Lucas Shaw muttering in his dreams, calling out his wife’s name.

"Serena..."

"Serena..."

Brandon Reese, unwillingly fed a mouthful of dog food: "..."

It was enough when he was awake, but even in sleep, he forced him to stomach this dog food!

Is this the decline of morals, or the distortion of human nature?

Brandon Reese felt he had been diligent and devoted throughout this period.

Mr. Lucas Shaw not giving him a raise would be an injustice to his professionalism!

Looking at Lucas Shaw’s pale face, Brandon Reese silently hoped, wondering when he might get a promotion and a raise.

He still needs to save up for a marriage fund!

He must marry a girl as beautiful and kind as his wife in the future.

Thinking this, Brandon Reese couldn’t help but smile, and his heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

Continental Villa.

The tall and upright man sat by the bed, his dark and deep eyes unwaveringly staring at the sleeping girl on the bed.

The girl lay on the soft bed, only her fair and delicate face exposed.

Her features were exquisite, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting, her nose high and prominent, her lips as tender and vivid as cherry blossoms. Her skin was fair like snow, smooth as if coagulated fat, yet her paleness, which added a touch of morbid beauty, was undeniable.

"How long has the Miss been unconscious?" Edward Selwyn asked.

The servant behind him pondered for a moment and respectfully said, "About twenty hours now. She hasn’t woken up at any point in between."

Edward Selwyn bent down, gently touched Serena Summers’ forehead with the back of his hand, and then checked her pulse.

Assured that there were no abnormalities, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long while, he stood up and walked towards the door.

He instructed the servant behind him, "Take good care of Miss. If she wakes up, call me immediately."

The servant responded with an "Okay," and Edward Selwyn left.

He drove back to the company, processed all the documents at hand, and tiredly rubbed his brows.

Suddenly, a knock on the door came from outside, Edward Selwyn put down his hand and said in a cold voice, "Come in."

Assistant Young pushed the door open and walked to the desk, saying, "Sir, Mr. Lucas Shaw woke up once, but now he has fallen unconscious again."

Edward Selwyn suppressed the corners of his lips downward and sneered, "Using Serena’s lifesaving medicine, he sure rests easy."

Horizon Group and Shaw Group, although not exactly rivals, seldom interacted in business.

The entire city of S was under the Shaw Family’s control, but Edward Selwyn managed to grow Horizon Group to equal footing with Shaw Group in just a few years, not just by luck.

He had sufficient pride-worthy capital.

Assistant Young lowered his gaze and asked, "Sir, I just found out that Miss accidentally fell into the lake at Old Master Lawrence’s birthday banquet. I checked the surveillance; Miss was pushed."

"What?" Edward Selwyn’s face changed drastically, and he slammed his hand on the desk, "Explain, what happened?"

Even from a distance from Edward Selwyn, one could faintly feel the cold and grim aura emanating from him.

Nervously swallowing, he roughly outlined the situation.

"Miss was pushed into the lake while the poison had acted up, giving others a chance."

Edward Selwyn sneered, a mocking curve forming on his lips, "Can’t even protect a woman, what makes him qualified to be Serena’s husband?"

Assistant Young hesitated then continued, "At the time Miss fell into the water, Mr. Lucas Shaw was also affected by the poison. Probably he couldn’t manage it at the time..."

Edward Selwyn’s face darkened, and he sneered, "What? You took a bribe from Lucas Shaw? Why are you speaking for him all of a sudden?"

"Not at all! Absolutely not! Sir, I am absolutely loyal to you!" Assistant Young immediately showed his loyalty with a particularly naive smile.

Edward Selwyn scoffed, "You wouldn’t dare! Have you found out who pushed the Miss into the water? Daring to touch Serena in S City, they really are tired of living!"

Assistant Young felt the pressure on him lessen.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed over a USB drive, "Found out, it’s the foster daughter of the Shaw Family’s main branch, Sylvia Lane. It’s said ever since Miss married into the Shaw Family..."

He was interrupted midway as Edward Selwyn’s icy deathly glare swept over.

Stumbling over his words, Assistant Young quickly corrected himself: "During the time Miss stayed with the Shaw Family, this Miss Sylvia Lane has always been at odds with Miss. It’s said that she even tried to seduce Mr. Lucas Shaw three years ago."

"Bang—"

A loud noise suddenly erupted, startling Assistant Young.

He looked and saw that Edward Selwyn’s phone had been smashed to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces.
