Chapter 354
"Miss Sanders won't blyou," Steven said nonchalantly, trying to ease
Scarlett's guilt.
As they left the hospital, James sat in his car with a heavy expression. While making a turn, he caught sight of a
familiar vehicle. His brows furrowed-it was Lucy's car.
Could this entire incident have been orchestrated by Lucy?
Fuming, James drove straight home. He stormed upstairs, kicking open Lucy's door. "Get out here!"
His voice was cold and distant, as if addressing a criminal.
Startled, Lucy looked up at her brother, her body trembling as she stood. "James? What's wrong?"
Mrs. Chancer had stayed hinstead of going to her usual card games. Hearing her son's angry shout, she
hurried upstairs to shield her daughter. "James, why are you treating your sister like this again?"
"Cout," James demanded, ignoring his mother entirely, his gaze fixed on Lucy with unrelenting authority.
Under the weight of his sharp stare, Lucy reluctantly stepped out of her room, clutching her mother's arm for
support. "James, what is this about?”
"Where were you today?"
“I was hall day. | didn't go anywhere!" Lucy avoided his eyes, and her hands trembled slightly.
James's tone grew harsher. "Stop lying. Tellthe truth-where did you go today?"

Lucy grabbed her mother's arm, pleading, "Mom, look at him! Why is he interrogatinglike this? | haven't left
the house since this morning!"
"Mrs. Williams," James called out to the housekeeper. His sharp gaze shifted to her. "Did Lucy leave the house at
any point today?"
Lucy's eyes filled with panic as she turned to the housekeeper. "Aunt Williams, you know | didn't go out today!
Tell him!"
"Enough, James! Why are you badgering your sister about whether she left or not?" Mrs. Chancer interjected,
clearly frustrated with her son's attitude.
James ignored her, his voice icy. "I saw your car at the Luther Estate today, Lucy. Do you still want to deny it?"
His dark eyes bore into Lucy, cold and unwavering, like a frozen lake. She squirmed under his piercing gaze,
unsure of how to respond.
Lucy's mind raced. She hadn't left the house today-she was certain of it. But why was her car spotted at the
Luther Estate?
"James, even if Lucy did drive to the estate, there's no need to accuse her like this!" Mrs. Chancer snapped, her
patience wearing thin.
She couldn't help but feel irritated with James lately. Ever since that woman, Sarah, cinto the picture, he
had been constantly at odds with the family, especially with Lucy. It was as if Lucy had done something
unforgivable, and Mrs. Chancer was tired of it.
