On the other end of the phone, Heather could not help but feel a pang of regret as she thought of Alexupon hearing the title “Chairman of Four Seas Corporation.”novelbin
Annoyed, she responded, “We’re not together and never be together! What makes you think I movedout, and what new villa are you talking about? I don’t understand a word you said. Can’t you just buyyourself a big villa with the ten billion Alex gave you?”
Lucas was stunned. He did not expect to hear that from Heather. That’s not what Mom and I hadanticipated!
“Sis,
Ludn’t you move out all the furniture pieces because you bought us a new villa? What’s going on?”
asked in confusion.
“I didn’t do anything. Wait for me. I’m coming home now.” Heather then ended the call.
At that moment, Carmen’s hand started trembling. She kept calling Aiden, but he did not answer thecall. She also texted him but to no avail.
“How is it possible? Aiden always answers my call no matter how busy he is. How come he’suncontactable now?” Carmen mumbled to herself.
At that moment, even Lucas, despite his naivety, realized his mother had been conned. He snatchedthe phone from Carmen’s hand and exclaimed in frustration. “Mom! You’ve been conned. No matterhow many times you call, he will not answer it.”
Carmen shook her head fervently. She even wanted to shatch her phone back from Lucas. Aiden is ascammer? How is that possible? I saved his life! He might deceive anyone in the world, but he’ll neverdo that to me! I’m his savior! I helped him in his entrepreneurial journey and even gave him my all! Howcan he be a conman?
However, the vacant villa served as undeniable evidence, leaving Carmen with no choice but to acceptthe truth. Heather was right. Aiden is a deceitful scammer.
She threw all the clothes she bought for him aside and cussed, “Aiden Ward! After everything I did foryou, how could you lie to me? I hope you die a miserable death, you ungrateful scoundrel!”
Feeling aggrieved, she sank to the floor and let out a flood of tears. Enchanted by Aiden’s affection,she believed she had found true love, but it was all just an illusion.
Adrian had passed away many years ago, and Carmen had remained loyal to him all this time.However, the moment she opened her heart, Aiden came into her life and deceived her. The realizationhit Carmen. hard, and she cried even more. I’m too ashamed to face Adrian. He’ll probably kill mewhen we meet in the afterlife!
Lucas sighed. Blaming Carmen at this stage would be futile. After patting her shoulder, he let outanother sigh and said, “Mom, pull yourself together. We might have lost everything in the house, but westill have
nine billion. We can always buy new furniture pieces with the money.”
Carmen’s crying subsided a little when she heard that. After wiping the tears off her face, she said inbetween sobs, “Lucas, you must not tell Heather about it. She’ll be furious and yell at me.”
Lucas nodded indifferently. He was not bothered by the missing furniture pieces since they still had thatnine billion. Of course, he still had to settle his outstanding gambling debt of one hundred million.
“Mom, this incident should serve as a lesson for you. By the way, did Aiden manage to scam you out ofany money?” he asked.
