Chapter 1034 - 1031: The Relationship Between Eva Bennett and Little Pear Pear (Part 3)
"Hunger strike?" The man’s thin lips released two words over the phone, his voice icy; this was a sign he was about to get angry."Yes, Crown Prince, the maid from the island called, said she started throwing things and cursing you, demanding to see you. But after half a month of her clamor, without seeing you, she began the hunger strike."
Harry North continued, "Even the maids there reported she seems to have plans to escape, climbing towards the window in the dead of night."
"In the past half month, she attempted to escape twice but was intercepted promptly and effectively by our professional bodyguards."
Considering attempts to escape and the hunger strike, Lucas Knight listened as his gaze gradually turned cold. After a moment, his voice, cold and chilling, spoke, "Harry, keep an eye on her. Also, I need the information by 6 a.m. tomorrow."
What?!
Wasn’t it just agreed that by 8 a.m. tomorrow? Why suddenly advance it by two hours? Harry was about to break down.
Lucas Knight: "Harry, you’ve been with me for so long, you know my way of handling matters, rewards and punishments. If you can’t manage it by 6 a.m. tomorrow, bring your head to see me."
Harry was so scared his eyes widened, his hand gripping the phone froze! Had he done something wrong, he felt so wronged!!
This time, the Crown Prince didn’t seem to be joking.
Harry hurriedly stashed away the phone and rushed off to contact others to check on the information.
Must find it before 6 a.m...

"Screech——"
A sharp and elongated braking sound fell, and the sports car halted steadily in front of the old mansion.
Just after making the call, Lucas Knight had already driven to the old residence.
"President!"
A few maids in puffy skirts flocked over, politely saying, "Your Excellency, what brings you over so late?"
"Where’s Madam?" Lucas Knight inquired.
"In response to the President, Madam is in the living room chatting with a few wealthy ladies; it seems like they’re preparing to disperse." Among those ladies were the influential figures of Sovereign Capital, including Mrs. Scott.
Because Barrett Scott has always been one to bend, gay! No matter how much you try, it can’t be changed, so Mr. Scott and the old Mrs. Scott are simply beyond worried.
"Hmm, got it." Lucas Knight responded lightly, and then proceeded into the living room.
...
Grandma Isabel Grant of the Knight Family, along with Grandma Scott, and other wealthy ladies were sitting in the living room chatting and sipping tea.
Unexpectedly, a sudden chill permeated the air.
Looking up they saw Lucas Knight entering, his tall figure carrying its own chill, feeling like he was a block of ice even through the air, a walking iceberg.
"Your Excellency, the President."
"Your Excellency, the President is here!"
"Good evening, Your Excellency, the President!"
"Good evening." Lucas Knight responded symbolically, then sat nearby. After all, he had been in office for three years, firmly holding the position of the Imperial President, and still a dictator, making proximity to the Knight Family advantageous.
Many wealthy ladies couldn’t wait to get close to Isabel.
Yet due to her noble origins, she sees people clearly and doesn’t associate with just anyone.
"Mrs. Knight, President, it’s getting late; we’ve been here quite a while. Now that night is deep, we’ll be heading home first. We’ll come by in a few days to have tea with you again."
