The butler hurried across and whispered to Hank about Lucinda’s arrival.
“Hank, I haven’t seen you for a long time, yet you haven’t aged at all. You are still so young,” Lucinda said, smiling.
She took the rattan whip from the servant’s hand and said, “Hank, Dwayne is still young and reckless. Don’t be too harsh on him.
Hank smiled gently.
“Oh, Lucinda, you’ve really grown up. Come and sit down. Let me have a good look at you.”
Lucinda sat beside him.
“Don’t worry about Dwayne. He has been beaten by me since he was a child. His skin is rough and thick! As for you, you are the treasure of both the Gordon and the Simmons family. We admire you very much!”
Hearing this, Dwayne took a deep breath and massaged his back, thinking his grandfather didn’t care about him at all. He only cared about other people’s granddaughter!
Was there something addled in his brain?
As if Hank sensed Dwayne’s dissatisfaction, he glared at his grandson and yelled, “What are you looking at? Stay down, you troublemaker!
Kneel there. We haven’t finished!”
It looked as though Hank didn’t intend to go easy on Dwayne.
Lucinda tried a different approach.
“Hank, I’m here to pick Dwayne up for the shooting. We’ve almost finished the show and are on a tight deadline. May I take him to apologize to Kase? I will make sure he learns his lesson.”
Hank studied Lucinda and then turned to Dwayne, nodding with satisfaction.
“Okay, I feel confident he’ll behave if he’s with you.”

“Thank you for your trust. Then I’ll take Dwayne with me,” Lucinda said. She winked at Dwayne.
Dwayne bent his swollen back and struggled to rise from the floor.
The butler looked at Dwayne, worried.
“Sir, perhaps Mr. Dwayne should apply some ointment before leaving? It may affect his acting if he’s in too much pain.”
“He doesn’t need anything! And we should not delay Lucinda by making her wait for him. The pain will ensure that he remembers his lesson.
Work hard at the filming. We will see you at the charity party tonight. You are not allowed to be absent. Do you hear me?”
“Yes.” Dwayne pursed his mouth and looked weak.
Lucinda turned to Hank and said, “Thank you. We’ll leave now, but I’ll visit you again when I’m not so busy.”
