Chapter 871 Owing A Hundred Million
At the Jennings residence in Nebula City, Lucas was stunned by the sight that greeted him when heopenest the door. The entire house was empty. The couch, electrical appliances, and antiques were all
gone
“What the f*ck is going on Why didn’t Mom and Heather tell me that they moved? Upon recovering fromhis shock. Lucas figured that they might have shifted during the few days he wasn’t at home
Aven then, I’ve only been away for slightly more than ten days Shouldn’t they have told me about it?Lucas was baffled by the turn of events.
Before he could deliberate further on the situation, he reached out to rub his swollen face. The momenthe did, an excruciating pain shot through his body.
“Ouch! Those b’stards at the casino are really merciless, It’s not like I’m someone who’s broke!” Thethought of how he was treated at the casino threw Lucas into a fit of rage, which he vented by givingthe villa’s door a kick.
Upon entering the house, he grabbed a broken chair and sat down on it. There, he whipped out hisphone and gave his mother a call.
“You finally found your conscience and decided to call me, haven’t you? And here I was, thinking thatyou were already dead. By the way, I’ll be home once I’m done grocery shopping. I’ll introduce you toMr. Ward when I’m back.”
As Carmen’s voice rang out from the phone, Lucas was clueless as to who the Mr. Ward his mothermentioned was.
As the only possibility dawned upon him, he replied in displeasure, “Mom, don’t tell me Mr. Ward isyour new companion. I don’t agree with this. I’m sure Heather objects to it too! By the way, why didn’tyou tell me that you guys have moved? I was only gone for a few days. Yet you have alreadyabandoned your own
son?”
Carmen was puzzled over the line, unable to make sense of what Lucas was talking about. “You idiot,what in the world are you talking about? Mr. Ward is at home right now! Try to be a good host and don’tget into a fight. Otherwise. I’m not going to forgive you!”
Lucas was equally confused by Carmen’s words as he scanned the empty house again. The only thingI found here is this broken chair. Other than that, there’s no sign of anyone at all.
After scratching his head, Lucas went out to take another look, just to make sure he wasn’t at thewrong place. By the time he looked at his phone, Carmen had already ended the call.
Hence, Lucas resigned himself to putting his phone back in his pocket and waiting for Carmen toreturn. so that he could clarify the matter.
On top of that, he wanted to inform her about the hundred million loan he borrowed from the loanshark. If he didn’t repay it in three days, Dmitri would have his legs severed.
Nonetheless, Lucas wasn’t too concerned about his debt, for his former brother-in-law had given hisfamily ten billion. All he needed to do was use some of the money to pay it off.
Thereafter, Lucas sat languidly in the chair with his legs crossed. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, hepulled out his phone and played the latest game.
