"Irene, what are you doing standing there? Chelp! We are welcoming another young master into this house. The butler is bound to have chores for you," Mrs. Flores yelled.
Irene set her purse down and hurried over.

"Lucas is my son. His mom has abandoned him, and I can't just let him die!" Mr. Woods roared. "I am sending him to the South Block precisely because I don't want you to throw a tantrum! If you still can't take it, get out of here!" Stunned, all the frustration boiling within Mrs. Woods turned into tears. She could never leave the Woods family while all her children were here. This was her home.
"Why would his mother abandon him after raising him all these years? Why is she sending him here now? It is surely all a part of her plan to get a share of the money!" sneered Mrs. Woods as she wiped away her tears.
"You are reading too much into it! His mom is getting married, and the guy doesn't want to raise her son!" Mr. Wood said. "Now that I've brought him home, he is a Woods!" "Fine! There are more b*st*rd children out there, and this is probably not the last one you bring home!" Mrs. Wood screamed at the top of her lungs. "I won't ever be kind to that b*st*rd child! He better hide as far away fromas he can in the South Block!" A while later, the butler re-entered the kitchen.
"Who here is willing to go to the South Block to take care of Mr. Lucas?" the butler sighed. "If you go to the South Block, you will be fully responsible for the care of Mr. Lucas." "I'm not going. Going there means we are challenging the Missus..." "That's right! Who would do something that foolish?" The servants whispered to one another. They were all reluctant to go.
Just then, Mrs. Woods stormed into the kitchen. She stared at the group of servants, her sharp eyes landing on Irene. She stared at the horrendous scar on Irene's face with satisfaction and said, "You are going to serve that b*st*rd in the South Block! That face of yours is going to disgust him so much that he probably won't be able to eat! Hahaha!" Irene lowered her gaze and protested, "Mrs. Woods, I' "I'll double your pay. You better say yes!" "I'll do it, Mrs. Woods!" Irene's head snapped up as she agreed.

Desperate for the double pay, Irene said gingerly, "I will work hard, Sir." "Mr. Lucas has brought a dog with him. I don't know what breed it is but it's gigantic and rather ferocious." The butler frowned. "I wouldn't want you getting bitten to death." Irene stared at him in horror.
"Give it a chance. If it does not work out, we will see what we can do," the butler said. "You have quite the debt, don't you? You did take out a loan treat your grandmother, right? Exams are coming up, and tuned! fees for college is going to be a big issue. If you don't take the opportunity to make more money right now, you won't be able to survive!" Irene froze as she thought about the future.
"Let's go!" The butler led the way. "Once you are in the South Block, you are to follow Mr. Lucas' every command." The two arrived at the gate of the South Block, and before they could go inside, a gigantic dog appeared and began barking.
Terrified, the butler turned his heels and ran. "You can go in on your own, Irene! You should learn to overcdifficulties like this!" In an instant, the butler had vanished.
Irene paled in fear at the ferocious bark and was contemplating if she should leave when the dog quieted down.
