Later, Lucas was on a business trip and passed through a porcelain town. He wanted to give Natasha a compensatory gift and decided to make a new one himself.

Olivia, who was also performing there at that time, expressed great interest.

They both went together to make cups.

Upon returning, Natasha saw his gift, and the cup specifically made by Olivia as an apology. The cup, which closely resembled the one Lucas had brought back from Libadia previously, made her suddenly smile.

She casually smashed Olivia’s apology gift, then pushed aside his work, which Olivia reportedly also contributed her idea to, telling them to get lost without even a glance.

They argued again.

Their relationship had grown distant by then, and Natasha barely acknowledged Lucas anymore. It was because of it that he nervously planned the proposal again.

He hadn’t taken the pair of cups with him at that time. Olivia had originally put them away.

The gifts he had once considered full of love now seemed particularly glaring.

Lucas sneered, “Do you still remember who this was originally for?”

Olivia’s smile froze.

“I was thinking Natasha probably wouldn’t want it anymore, and it would be a waste to throw it away,” said Olivia.

She closed the box. “Never mind. I’ll get rid of it if you don’t like it.”

Olivia tentatively looked at Lucas. “I just heard you and Wyatt got into a fight? What happened?”

Then, she frowned and said disapprovingly, “He’s an illegitimate son. What right does he have to be in a place like this?”

Lucas stared intently at her eyes. “Because my father wants to hand the Wright family over to him.”

Olivia widened her eyes and subconsciously retorted, “How is that possible?”

She missed too much while in prison, and after her release, she was poorly informed due to her former friends unilaterally cutting ties with her.

Olivia had always thought that the Wright family changing heirs was just a rumor.

Anxiously, she said, “The Wright family is yours, and you can’t give it to him. Even today, you should have prevented him from appearing.”

Her words even carried a hint of criticizing Lucas’s incompetence.

Lucas gave a self–deprecating smile.

‘If Natasha were here, her first concern would be about my mood after being expelled by that illegitimate son, and if I were being bullied,‘ thought Lucas.
