Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Watching a Movie

Lucas Shaw’s newly purchased villa was not far from Lane Family, about a fifteen-minute drive away.

It was a newly developed real estate project situated in the downtown area, and the price was not cheap.

All the units here were originally sold out, but it was Lucas Shaw sent Ethan Wells to acquire one at a high price.

After getting out of the car, Lucas Shaw took the items he had bought from the car. Serena Summers tried to help but he avoided her, "I can handle it myself, you go ahead and see if you are satisfied with it."

Serena Summers had no choice but to walk inside.

The moment she stepped into the villa, she was instantly stunned because the decoration and layout of the living room were too familiar to be more familiar.

Their new home in S City was almost exactly the same as this one.

Lucas Shaw placed two large bags of things on the coffee table, put all the fruits, vegetables, and meats into the fridge, and then took the daily necessities out separately to bring them into the bedroom.

Serena Summers followed him upstairs and found that not only the living room but even the bedroom’s decorative style were the same as at home.

"This was all arranged by you?" Serena Summers opened her mouth in surprise, everything was the same except for the paintings on the wall.

The painting hanging at home was the masterpiece of a famous artist, the only one of its kind in the world.

What now hung in this room was another work by the same artist, also in Serena Summers’ favorite style.

Lucas Shaw neatly arranged everything and uttered a low "mm-hmm," then sat down on the sofa, patting the space beside him and looked up at Serena Summers.

"Come sit."

Curious, Serena Summers walked over and as soon as she sat down, she was embraced by him.

"Lucas Fletcher, is there really still hope for him?" Lucas Shaw asked.

"Yes," Serena Summers’s tone was firm and serious, making it hard not to believe, "It’s just a bit troublesome to solve, but after this ordeal, I am more certain of one thing."

"What?"

"That the sample was indeed tampered with. Including me, there are only five people in the lab."

Therefore, there must be someone with connections to that organization among them.

As long as there are connections, they would definitely leave clues.

"Do you suspect who it might be?" Lucas Shaw raised his eyebrow and stretched his hand to embrace Serena Summers.

Serena Summers leaned her head against the man’s shoulder, her expression slightly solemn, "Not yet. I believe that with the affection your brother has for you, he definitely wouldn’t do anything to hurt you; Charlotte Summers is close to me, but she has a forthright personality, incapable of hiding things; Emily Green is our senior, very gentle, and she is also nice to me; Sean Wynn and your brother are good friends, whose nature is direct and straightforward..."

After a full analysis, no conclusion was reached, leaving Serena Summers somewhat frustrated.

"If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it anymore. Since that organization has already started to make their move, it means they are getting impatient. So, all we need to do is wait and watch," Lucas Shaw said softly to comfort her.

"Mm, what you said makes sense."

Right now, all they could do was wait.

Lucas Shaw stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head, coaxing, "You’ve had a hard day and are tired, go rest for a bit."

After saying that, he left the bedroom.

The study room was still a bit empty; many books were inconvenient to move here, hence the bookshelves were almost empty.

Lucas Shaw turned on his computer and started a video conference.

By the time he was done, it was already evening.

Serena Summers had a comfortable nap in the afternoon, took a shower upon waking up, and started to unpack her luggage.

This trip to Imperial Capital, she didn’t expect to encounter so many troubles, so she only brought a few sets of clothes.

She took out the clothes one by one, planning to hang them in the wardrobe. When she got up, she accidentally brought out a small object with her.

Serena Summers squatted down to pick it up and found a silver USB flash drive.

It seemed to be a wedding gift from her second senior brother, who gave it to her with a secretive air.

After arranging her clothes, she placed the suitcase in the lowest compartment of the wardrobe, right next to Lucas Shaw’s luggage.

A large one and a small one, blue and pink, looked quite well-matched.

Serena Summers’ lips curved slightly, and she then took out her computer to insert the USB drive, eager to see what was inside.

Upon opening the file, she found it was full of videos.

Serena Summers was puzzled, wondering what her second senior brother meant by this.

Could it be he wanted to recommend a few good movies? Vincent Carter used to recommend movies to her when he found good ones.

So Serena Summers didn’t think too much of it.

Curious, she clicked on the first video. It was an English movie about an hour long.

Her pale fingertips pressed pause, and she tiptoed downstairs in slippers to get several packs of snacks from the plastic bag on the coffee table.

How could you watch a movie without snacks?

Unfortunately, the home theater in the villa was not yet set up; she couldn’t even find a projector.

She had to watch using the computer, significantly reducing the experience.

However, any movie that could impress Director Vincent had to be excellent.

Serena Summers sat the computer on her thighs, lazily leaning back in the sofa with her delicate little feet swaying joyfully.

But soon, Serena Summers began to feel drowsy.

This movie was simply... too boring; it was nothing more than the melodramatic love-hate entanglement between the male and female leads.

The male lead was a playboy, carefree and hedonistic, a frequenter among flowers. By chance, he met the pure and stubborn female lead and was attracted by her kindness and defiance, resulting in an uncontrollable situation.

Serena Summers could almost predict that a series of melodramatic, misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and emotional tortures between the two leads would follow, ending with a satisfying grand finale.

She really couldn’t understand why her second senior brother would recommend this kind of movie to her.

However, at that moment, the screen suddenly froze, and the display went black for a few seconds.

Serena Summers thought there was a problem with the computer and slowly straightened up, ready to check on it.

But the next second, the screen suddenly lit up again, and two entangled naked bodies appeared on the computer screen.

The man’s large body pressing the woman beneath him, heavy breathing and moaning sounds entered the ears, turning one’s face red with embarrassment.

Serena Summers had not yet reacted when she was startled by the content playing on the screen.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Lucas Shaw walked in.

Serena Summers came to her senses and swiftly shut off the computer, looking at him nervously.

Coming in, Lucas Shaw saw Serena Summers’ guarded look and was immediately puzzled, "What happened?"

"Nothing! How come I didn’t hear you walking? You startled me!" As soon as Serena Summers spoke, she complained, trying to divert Lucas Shaw’s attention elsewhere.

However, Lucas Shaw didn’t fall for it and approached Serena Summers.

His steps were steady, his tall figure closing in with an overwhelming presence.
