His Eagle Eyes on Me

"All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk."

Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?"

"Sure!" Shelly said.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion.

Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments.

He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother."

Hayden nodded.

Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate."

"Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've ever seen. Seeing her doing so well now truly warms our hearts."

"Thank you for taking care of my sister," Hayden said.

The butler waved his hand modestly. "There's no need to thank us. Ivy has a strong sense of pride. Every time she came here, she insisted on helping with the chores. She's a remarkable young lady. We used to say that she would surely have a bright future ahead of her after she graduated from college."

His words deeply moved Hayden.

Mr. Woods told the butler, "That's enough for now. You can go. I have some business to discuss with our guest."

The butler promptly left.

Mr. Woods looked at Hayden and

getting along well. They always have, and I noticed it back then. arranged for Ivy to take care of Lucas because they were close in age, and we thought that they might have common interests. Little did we know, they'd get along this well."

Hayden listened quietly.

"Lucas never treated Ivy like a servant. They ate together, and when Lucas struggled with his studies, he asked me to hire a tutor In reality he was arranging for a tutor for lvy. Ivy managed to get into Turlington University in our country. Of course, I'm not saying that Lucas giving her a tutor was the reason she succeeded. It's just that Lucas sincerely cared about her, and he never looked down on her because of her background."

"My sister told me that if Lucas had treated her poorly, she wouldn't have returned to Taronia to find him, Let's get to the point. If Lucas is going to be with my sister, he must settle in Aryadelle."

"I understand that. Your family is much wealthier than ours, and if he goes to Aryadelle with you, he'll undoubtedly live a comfortable life. But..."

Seeing Mr. Woods hesitating, Hayden asked directly, "How much do you want? Name your price."

Mr. Woods chuckled. "It's a bit embarrassing to put it that way. Makes it seem like I'm selling my son."

"I don't mean to insult you or Lucas," Hayden said.

Mr. Woods sighed. "Well, I didn't mean it that way. If Lucas goes to Aryadelle, he probably won't come back to see me again. Look at me. I'm getting old..." "Just cut to the chase and name your price," Hayden urged.
