Chapter 68 Tycoons Are Ruthless The car was silent. I was so quiet that Marion could hear her
heartbeat. Although she did not know why, she could sense that Lucas did not like her talking about
divorce. Once spoken, words were like spilled water–they cannot be retrieved no matter what one did.
Marion gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and leaned her face towards him. “I’m sorry, I said the wrong
thing. How about you punish me to even the score?” As he looked at her head, Lucas suddenly felt less
angry. He raised his hand and adjusted his collar. “I don’t want to punish you.” He wanted to kiss her
instead. Lucas’s dark eyes locked onto her fair face. He swallowed slightly and felt a warmth in his
chest. “Huh?” Marion opened her eyes, glanced at him, and as she noticed that his expression had not

anger he radiated seemed endless, and she had no idea when it would dissipate. “Not going to punish
you.” “Please teach me a lesson, and I promise not to talk nonsense next time!” Marion applied the
tactics she used to pacify her father to Lucas. She was not sure if Lucas would fall for it, but it was
better than him staying silent with a stern face, right? After all, they were finally talking. When she
noticed that he had not moved, she grabbed his wrist. Through his shirt, Lucas could feel her warm
palm. Lucas glanced at his captured hand and raised an eyebrow. “Not close enough. Come closer.”
Marion looked at the space between them, which could accommodate one more person, and shifted
towards him, halving the distance between them. “Is it okay now?” “Not enough.” She looked at the
space again and moved a little closer. If she moved any further, she would have to lean against him.
However, he insisted that it was still not enough, so she shifted a bit more. Her shoulder bumped
directly into his which made her feel nervous. She quickly shifted to the side, looked up, and blinked at
Lucas. “Can you go easy on me? I’m afraid it’ll hurt!” Chapter 6 Tycoons Are Ruthless “If I go easy on
you, how will you learn your lesson?” Hearing his words, Marion’s head throbbed. He was not going to
hit her hard, was he? Her father always gave her a gentle pat. It was never a real hit. Otherwise, she
would not dare to make such a suggestion. Lucas lowered his head, and his gaze darkened slightly. He
reached out and placed his hand behind her head. Marion stiffened and looked at Lucas, who suddenly
leaned closer. Was he going to kiss her? No way, no way! Help! If she pushed him away, would he get

even angrier? Marion was struggling with her inner turmoil. Then she felt a hard knock on her forehead.
Lucas had lowered his head and bumped into her. Marion gasped. “Ouch!” “Does it hurt?” Marion
quickly pulled back, creating some distance between them. Finally, she could breathe again. The back
of her head where he had touched her felt like it was on fire, and the warmth from the man’s wrist
lingered on her neck. Marion lowered her head, swallowed nervously, and felt her heart race. The pain
on her forehead brought her some clarity. She glanced at Lucas. “It hurts.” He smiled. It was a rare
sight. “Will you remember the lesson?” Marion sighed in relief at his smile and rubbed her forehead
with her hand. “I’ll remember.” He was so cruel. Anyone would remember such pain. Lucas’s smile
faltered. “Is it very painful?” Marion lowered her hand, “It’s okay.” It had only hurt right when they
collided. “Oh, it seems I was too gentle then.” She was speechless, Business tycoons were ruthless in
