Cognizant that Daemon was upset, Carla changed his tact. "Daemon, don't misunderstand. I did not intend to threaten at all. I just want to convey that Donald's daughter likes Lucas very much and has pursued him for years.
Of course, Lucas doesn't like her and we don't intend to collaborate with Donald. There's no way I would consider his proposal as he is nothing compared to you. It's just that I am desperate for an answer from Carla and hope that she doesn't continue to string us along."
"You have a point." Daemon frowned at Carla. "Regardless of whether you agree or not, you owe them an answer. So stop dragging your feet!"
"I…" Just when Carla was about to reply, an anxious knock was heard on the door.
As the servant by the door opened it, Freda's voice rang out. "Ms. Lierger, we have a problem. Ms. Venus has thrown up again."
"What?" Turning pale, Carla dashed out.
"Carla, calm down. I brought a doctor with me." Lucas followed her out.
"It seems we won't be getting an answer tonight, " Daemon remarked cordially. "Sir Carla, you must be tired from your long journey. Why don't you retire to the guest room first? In the meantime, I'll make sure Carla gives you an answer within three days."
"All right then." Carla frowned. Despite the displeasure in his eyes, he didn't dare complain.
"Take Sir Carla to his room."
"Yes."
By the time Carla rushed out, she saw Venus lying on the sofa. She was puking into the garbage can non-stop while her face had lost all color.
Randy was beside her, patting her back to comfort her.
At the same time, a few female subordinates were standing by the side, not knowing what to do.
"Venus!" Carla quickly picked her up. "What's going on? Weren't you doing fine a while ago?"
"Perhaps she is suffering from jet lag and isn't used to the place yet, " Lucas comforted. "Don't worry, I'll get my doctor to give her a check-up immediately."
"It's fine. I brought Dr. Feroma with me." Carla picked up Venus and headed out at once. "Let's go back and see Dr. Feroma."
"Right away." Freda arranged for their ride at once.
Just as they hurriedly left, Lucas was about to follow until Carla called out to him, "Stop!"
"Dad, Carla is…"
"Do you know why Carla doesn't like you?" Carla admonished. "It's because you behave too submissively as if you're a sycophant."
"How can you say that?" Pouting, Lucas was upset. "Since when being sincere is seen as being sycophantic?"
"Shut up." Carla had lost all hope in him. "Now go back upstairs."
Lucas had no choice but to comply with his head lowered.
At that moment, Daemon came out from the study and instructed his servants to take Lucas to the guest room. Without any delay, he too walked out.
After placing Venus in the car, Carla turned around and said, "Daemon, I'm taking the children back first."
"All right, take care, " Daemon replied before shifting his attention towards Randy.
Randy lowered his gaze and remained calm.
After Freda helped him into the car, he casually glanced at Daemon and even took his leave cordially. "Bye, Uncle Dan."
Daemon nodded slightly in acknowledgment. After that, a devilish smile emerged on his face.
"Mr. Lierger, do we need to send a doctor over?" Harrison asked with his brows furrowed.
"There's no such need, " Daemon plainly replied. "Didn't you notice how calm the child was?"
"Huh?" Harrison was stunned before it dawned upon him. "Are you saying the kids…"
"He is really crafty at such a young age." Daemon returned to the house. "That child holds great potential."
Meanwhile, Carla hurried into the car and led her entourage back to her castle. Hapilia and Sam were already waiting at the door. Dr. Feroma was afraid of the cold, so he was already inside the castle's clinic.
"Hurry." Carla ran into the clinic with Venus in her arms.
After giving her a check-up, Dr. Feroma asked, "What did she eat during dinner?"
"Probably steak, cheese, fruits, cake…"
