Chapter 446
CEO's Mysterious Fiancee
Chapter 446 Be Quiet After a while, a domestic worker came over and said, âMr. Lamont, Ms. Patricia, dinner is ready.â
âLetâs go eat.â
Lamont and Patricia talked and laughed, walking back side by side. Amily looked at them from afar, and a dark look flashed in her eyes.
For some reason, every time she saw Patricia and the Lusk family getting closer, her heart felt like it had a thorn growing in it.
At the dining table.
When Danica saw them, she immediately scolded, âLamont, where did you go? Paige has been waiting here for you for a long time.â
Lamont glanced at the girl in the seat and thought he was seeing things.
The girlâs appearance, temperament, figure⦠Why did she look so much like Lord Pierce, who he had met at the National Cybersecurity Center today?
âThis is your sister, Paige. Sheâs a student of the University of Illinois in Chicago.â
Looking at the girlâs beautiful face and the faint smile on her lips, Lamont felt petrified.
âPaige, this is your third brother Lamont. He deals with corpses. He is a coroner.â
A coroner?
Isnât he Lord Monty, the number one hacker in America?
âNice to meet you, Lamont.â Paige smiled, and her voice was as refreshing as spring water.
Lamont found that this girl not only looked exactly the same as Lord Pierce, but even her voice was the same. He was sure she was the girl he had met at the National Cybersecurity Center!
âYour sister is greeting you!â Seeing that Lamont did not respond, Danica reached out to hit him and whispered, âLamont, are you listening?â
âYou are Paigeâ¦â Lamont forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a low voice, âHave we met before?â
âOf course, you have seen Paige before. The news of the top scorer in the SAT spread everywhere in June and July. Paige was the girl in the news. She was this yearâs top scorer.â
Lamont was shocked again. He did not expect his sister to be so wonderful. She had so many skills.
Donald smiled. âLamont just came back. Let him sit next to Paige, so he can pick up food for her.â
When Amily heard this, she moved Patriciaâs chair to the other side of Lamont.
âMs. Patricia, you should also sit beside Mr. Lamont. Youâve been missing him for so long.â
âPatricia missed Lamont?â Danica was a little curious.
âYeah, every day. She talked about him so often my ears buzzedâ¦â Amily and the others laughed.
Lamont looked at Paigeâs beautiful face and asked, âAbout the firewallâ¦â He said the words in a very low voice.
Paige smiled and asked lightly, âLamont, havenât you found a way to crack it?â
Sure enough, it was her!
Lamont took a deep breath. He did not expect his sister to be Lord Pierce, an excellent hacker. Her hacking skills were even better than his!
He felt embarrassedâ¦
Danica saw the two siblings whispering to each other and thought that they were chatting very happily.
She reminded, âLamont, donât just chat. Pick up more food for Paige! She likes seafood.â
âIâll peel shrimps for you.â Lamont reached out and took a shrimp. After peeling it, he put it on Paigeâs plate.
âIt hasnât been fully peeled. Look, there are still parts of the shell on it.â Danica found this and said to Paige, âPaige, donât blame your brother. Heâs never peeled a shrimp in the past ten-odd years. And he was careless.â
âYes, I was careless. Iâll peel another for youâ¦â Lamont picked up another shrimp.
âNo need, Lamont. I can peel it myself.â
âHow can I let you do it yourself? From now on, when Iâm here, you donât have to peel any shells on the table.â Lamont peeled a few more shrimps for her and hesitated to speak.
He wanted to ask Paige how she mastered such a superb hacking skill. Where did she learn it? How did she balance such a powerful hacking skill and her studies?
However, with so many people present, he just asked, âDo you feel comfortable here?â
âYes.â
âIs there anything that needs to be improved on?â
âEverything is perfect.â
Lamont put the peeled shrimp on her plate. âNo one at home bullied you, right?â
Amily hurriedly looked at Paige, afraid that she would cause trouble.
Paige was a little surprised. Why is Lamont asking about this? Is it a casual question? Or did he notice something?
âIf someone bullies you, let me know.â
âOkay.â
Lamont put the peeled shrimp on Paigeâs plate and found that she was a sweet girl. The way she spoke and ate was adorable.
At this time, Patricia put a peeled shrimp on Lamontâs plate. âLamont, you should eat too. The dishes are getting cold.â
Lamont then remembered that his other sister was beside him. Busy peeling shrimps for Paige, he had slighted Patricia.
âYou know how to peel shrimps nowâ¦â Lamont looked at the badly peeled shrimp on his plate. His eyes gleamed with gentle light. He put the shrimp on Patriciaâs plate, reluctant to eat it. âYou should eat it. You are too thin.â
âLamont, do you think I peeled it badly?â
âOf course not. I just want you to eat it.â
âI peeled it for you. You must eat it.â Patricia placed the shrimp back on Lamontâs plate.
Amily glanced at Alice. Alice immediately said, âMs. Patricia is always thinking about Mr. Lamont. She even peeled a shrimp for Mr. Lamont. How thoughtful. Sheâs the best sister ever.â
Paige had never peeled a shrimp for anyone before!
After a while, Patricia ladled soup for her parents and Lamont, and Alice praised her again.
âMs. Patricia is becoming more and more sensible. She cares about not only her parents but also her brotherâ¦â
Alice was implying that Paige only cared about herself.
âLamont, these are your favorite. Enjoy.â Patricia picked up more food for Lamont.
âMr. Lamont is so lucky to have a sister like Ms. Patriciaâ¦â
âAlice, you talk too much.â Lamont raised his eyes and looked at Alice. His voice was a bit cold. âPaige also picked up food for me. Why havenât you praised her?â
âYes, Ms. Paige has also done wellâ¦â
âPicking up food isnât a competition. Are you both so eager to win? Neither of you will compromise?
Then how can we eat? Letâs just pick up food.â
Seeing her son lose his temper, Danica was confused. Where did the anger come from?
âIâm sorry, Mr. Lamont. I was wrong. Ms. Patricia did a good job, so Iâ¦â
âYou shouldâve praised them both. If you praise only one of them, how will the other girl feel?â
Danica finally understood why her son was angry. It made sense. Just now, Alice had said that Patricia did well and that she was the best sister ever. Paige must have been upset when she heard itâ¦
âAlice, be quiet if you canât talk appropriately. Leave us be. Thereâs nothing you can do here now.â
Danica was also a little unhappy.
