She stepped forward and helped Dwayne limp out of the hall.
When they were far enough away from the hall, Dwayne finally spoke up.
âLucinda, do you really plan to take me to the hospital to apologize to that scumbag? I wonât do it!â
Lucinda pursed her lips.
âTell me why you fought.
â
Dwayne lowered his head.
He was struggling to stand up straight.
He limped when he walked, and the pain made him sweat.
He hesitated and then said, âI heard him insult you, so I beat him up hard⦠Ohâ¦â
He was so agitated that he accidentally pulled open a wound.
His face distorted with pain.
Lucinda laughed gently.
How silly and cute he was.
âIf thatâs the reason, why didnât you tell Hank?â
Dwayne said, âIf I told Grandpa, he might not beat me so hard, but if Grandpa and the butler knew how Kase insulted you, all the servants of the Gordon family would find out.
I donât want to ruin your reputation.
â
Hearing this, Lucinda became curious.
What on earth had Kase said?
âDid you make a recording or something? Play it to me.
â
Dwayne followed Lucinda into the car and played the audio file.
âI heard that the boss of Dwayneâs brokerage firm is a divorced woman who was abandoned by her wealthy husband.
And she actually grew up as an orphan.
Ridiculous! I donât understand why she was put in charge of Angle Intl.
If you ask me, she must have slept with Cyrus!
I saw her on the talent show.
Sheâs good looking but unfortunately, sheâs just a whore!â
Lucindaâs face darkened.
Dwayne said, âHow could I not have beaten him?â
Lucinda nodded.
âGet back to work.
Leave it alone.
â
âReally? Lucinda, are you going to let him get away with saying that?â
Lucinda raised her eyebrows and smiled.
âI never said I planned to leave it alone, did 1?â
