The smile on Irene's face disappeared. "Mr. Lucas, I'm done." She did not know Sam all that well, as he had been overseas the entire tand though he would occasionally return hduring holidays, he had only cback once a year ever since he entered university.
Before Lucas was brought back into the fold of the Woods family, Sam was the one member of the family who was willing to speak to Irene. She usually kept to the back kitchen, and Sam would often enter the kitchen to talk to her.
"Are you that scared of him, Irene?" Sam sat down on the couch. "Is he mistreating you? I can talk to Father..." "Don't say that Mr. Sam. Mr. Lucas has treatedkindly." Irene realized that Sam was trying to divide her and Lucas. Since Lucas was hot-tempered, she did not want to be the person to trigger a fight between the two siblings.

"I heard that you are on bad terms with stepmother and that you had beaten up the second son of the Shaw family. Had it not been for Kasey Bennett, you wouldn't have the freedom that you have now." "No matter what I did, I'm still better than a coward like you," Lucas said.
Sam stared at him in shock.
"I heard that you were taken into the family at six. I reckon that you were tortured in all possible ways by that stepmother of ours," Lucas said. "You ran off to another country as soon as you finished the third year of secondary school. If you are strong, you would not have run away like that, would you?" "... You sure know a fair deal about me." "Everyone knows, don't they?" Lucas continued sarcastically. "Run back to the Main Block like the coward you are! You are annoying me." "I don't recall hearing Father say he gave the South Block to you. I can chere whenever I want." Irene had not expected the two to start fighting on their first encounter. It was as though they had held a grudge against each other in the past.
"Mr. Sam, you've just chome. Why don't you go and rest? I need to start cooking." Irene was worried that the fight would intensify if she left.
"I haven't tried your cooking before! I'm starving, so I want to eat here," Sam said shamelessly.
"Oh... But I'm not a good cook though." Irene tried her best to think up a reason to discourage Sam.
"It's fine! If my younger brother can eat it, I'm sure I can, too," he said.
"I don't welcyou here!" Lucas wanted the man before him to disappear.

Irene wanted to ease the tension, but she was not sure what to say.
She was a servant and neither of them would listen to her, so she silently returned to the kitchen to cook.
"I heard that you've been expelled el from high school and your university exam are in a few months' time. What's Father's plan for you?" Sam asked T got into an overseas university with my own grades. I'm sure you'll at least have the grades to get into university, right?" As he held a grudge against Lucas because Lucas had called him a coward for running to another country, Sam had intentionally brought up Lucas' grades. Though he tiptoed around the family when he lived with them, Sam was confident in his grades. "You don't dare to fight with Stepmother so you chere seeking validation?" Lucas shot him a look of contempt. "You can't be thinking about living here, can you?" Sam stared at him.
"Maybe we should get someone to hang a plaque here that says 'Hof the B*st*rds'," Lucas sneered not caring that he was mocking himself as well in the process.
Sam was not as used to self-depreciation as Lucas was, and he did not know what to say.
Shortly after, lunch was ready.
Irene placed the food on the table, and before she could call out to them, the two started walking toward the dining table.
