Chapter 1799: Chapter 1802: Aidan Lucas Took the Bait
That night, Lily stayed in the children’s room to comfort an uneasy Lulu.
Although Madam said it was just an act, not angry and not taking it seriously.
Yet, Aidan Lucas felt that his beloved wife seemed to be punishing him.
The whole night, without his wife’s embrace.
His heart was always worried, wondering if Lily, with her big belly, was sleeping well next door, if she was at ease.
Mr. Lucas wanted to take the key and sneak in, but Lily had sternly warned him not to attack at midnight.
Not daring to anger his wife, Mr. Lucas could only hold the pillow that bore Lily’s fragrance, tossing and turning the whole night.

On the other side, after Bella Scott returned, she brought good news to Hannah Ford.
“Hannah, it’s great… Aidan Lucas agreed…”
Bella entered and saw Hannah, and as she was speaking, she noticed Hannah’s face turning pale.
“Hannah, you… what’s wrong with you…”
Before Bella could finish her sentence, a seductive and lazy voice suddenly came from the side door.
“Hannah Ford, sometimes I really envy you. Even down to this point, there’s still someone willing to go all out for you…”
Bella turned her head abruptly and met a pair of charming and frivolous eyes.
The joy on her face instantly fell as she said coldly, “Evelyn Lucas, what are you doing here? Haven’t you hurt Hannah enough, what else do you want to do to humiliate her!”
Hannah Ford was clearly supposed to be Frank Chamberlain’s fiancée, but because Frank wholeheartedly liked Evelyn Lucas and despised Hannah for being defiled.
So, in the Presidential Palace, compared to Hannah Ford, Evelyn Lucas was evidently the real mistress here.
Evelyn Lucas would take pleasure in teasing Hannah Ford whenever she was bored.
Sometimes when Frank didn’t vent his anger on Hannah, Evelyn would deliberately bring up the fact that Frank was being cuckolded, making him, the dignified President, marry a woman for everyone.
Every time she mentioned it, Frank would pick up the whip and strike Hannah.
Lately, since wedding preparations were underway, it wouldn’t do to have too many marks on Hannah.
Moreover, Hannah had run away not long ago and brought back Bella, which somewhat eased her situation.
“Ha, who doesn’t know in this entire Presidential Palace that I am the true mistress. I live here, come and go as I please. Frank doesn’t mess with me, so what gives an outdated old woman like you the right to?”
Evelyn Lucas truly had no good feelings toward Bella.
Especially since Bella’s eyes resembled Aidan Lucas’ treasured woman, even one more glance made her nauseated.
“Evelyn Lucas, don’t push us too hard! Our Hannah is about to marry Frank Chamberlain; at least you…”
“Enough, cut the crap,” Evelyn dismissively interrupted Bella.
She stepped forward, standing before Hannah Ford.
With a malicious gaze, she assessed Hannah, “So, is the task I gave you done?”
Hannah backed up half a step, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
Fearfully and anxiously, she nodded, “Done… it’s done. You heard what my mom just said, Aidan Lucas took the bait…”
“Hannah, what are you saying? What do you mean Aidan Lucas took the bait!?” Bella was astonished, feeling she couldn’t understand her daughter’s words.
Evelyn had harmed her like that, would she still want to…
“Mom, I… I have no other choice. They and Frank promised me that as long as I obeyed, they would let me be the First Lady. And they promised no more beating me, as long as I behaved… ah…”
Before Hannah could finish, a sharp pain suddenly came from her stomach.
Evelyn Lucas yanked her downward, fiercely driving her knee into Hannah’s abdomen.
Clutching her stomach, she looked at Evelyn Lucas in disbelief…
“You, you said… you wouldn’t hit me again…”
