Chapter 276 OmO (2/2)

”Huh?!?” In unison, the three didn't know whether to laugh or cry as Lexi seemed as if she was stuck at the first statement of Ethan Lu!

OmO

Why was she picking up on the small details and not the important ones? The three were utterly speechless as her response was the last thing they thought she would say.

”Does my father know about it?” Ignoring their weird and ugly countenance, Lexi arched her brows.

In contrast from these three musketeer's thoughts, Lexi did fully understand the situation. The thing was, part of her expected that something as troublesome as this would eventually come their way because the Lu family were akin to other royal families— the power struggle was inevitable.

However, she was reminded that back when Ethan Lu asked for her parents permission for her to live in his place, Ethan Lu and Frederick Yang had a long discussion inside her father's study room. Therefore, if back then, Ethan Lu was well-informed that someone was after her life then, it would make sense if Ethan Lu at least informed her parents. After all, keeping her in the dark all this time was bearable and understandable but her father would appreciate this honesty if Ethan Lu was honest to them at least.

”Yes.” Ethan Lu nodded his head as he honestly answered her. Well, Frederick Yang was after all his future father-in-law and Ethan Lu constantly updated him about their progress— even the matters in the Lu family.

Of course, Frederick Yang had been a great help as he sometimes advised him regarding company affairs and all of the schemes that might take place. Regardless of the difference in their company statuses, Frederick Yang was well-versed in this endless cycle of a power struggle.

”I see... that's good to know.” Lexi finally yielded and heaved a sigh of relief. ”So, Nico is a bodyguard— have you killed someone?” She then turned her attention to Nico Zhuang as she wanted to hear and see him answering.

”No, I haven't killed someone as Master strongly believes in the law of justice in the country.” As honest as possible, Nico Zhuang firmly responded.

Well, he hasn't killed anyone in his lifetime but that doesn't mean he hadn't broken a person's limbs and bones. Not to mention, shot someone without batting an eye. However, he didn't kill them... he just crippled them before turning them in.

”So, your real name is Nico? Or it is also a disguise?” Nodding in understanding, Lexi was relieved to know that the person she hired as her assistant didn't end up as a murderer.

”It is my name given by Master.” Nico Zhuang nodded as he earnestly stared at their future matriarch and her verdict.

”I see...” Lexi gently nodded her head a few times as she had no other questions remaining in her head.

Everything was now clear to her— even the people that were after her, Lexi concluded that it has something to do with Morris Liu. Therefore, before she would conclude any further, she would have to confront the man himself after he recuperated.

”So...” Seeing that Lexi returned back to her normal state, Ethan Lu fiddled with his two index fingers, circling them around each other as he cautiously stared at Lexi.

”Yes, we are done for today.” Before he could finish his sentence, Lexi responded.
