Chapter 159.John moved to another system inside the bus and started operating it his fingers were dancing on the keyboard none stop, he didn't look at what he was pressing, all he focused on was the screen, only he understood what was on the screen because it looked like jargons it's a kind of encryption in which only the programmer could understand. The buying pressure had gone down, orders were not trooping in as before, but they were received by the dancing figures and still relaxed. Lucas was looking at them and saw how happy they were, he let out a wicked grin and dimmed his eyes. He was dancing in his stomach that their joys would be turned opposite by him. He increased the volume of AC in the van because he was nervous, John asked for 5 minutes and he hadn't called him after 5 minutes and he didn't want to disturb him. He waited patiently and focused his gaze on the money on the screen. John called Lucas after 7 minutes of operating the system he switched to and said, "S
Chapter 159"I need to get out of here, but I must confirm something before I leave. I have to know the kind of Lucas they were talking about. Let me see, I took a picture of him at Mary Jay's birthday," Lydia muttered as she reached for her phone. She took out her phone and started searching for Lucas's photo from her gallery, she stumbled on the one she secretly took at Mary Jay's birthday party and her face lit with a grin as saw it"Yeah, I found it, I pray it should not be you", she muttered to herself and walked slowly to meet Sean. "Sean," she called out Sean from the other members of the familySean Spun gave her a cold stare and said, "Are you blind to see commotion everywhere? This is not the right time to meet me, you better get out of here before Marcus remembers that he gave you one million dollars, Marcus doesn't give out his money for free, " he advised. Lydia was upset by the approach of Sean but maintained her demeanour because she had information to get from Sean
Chapter 160Lydia angrily paced back and forth when she got home, the part of her was sure that Lucas was the one who stole the money but she needed to confirm it before concluding. "If I should judge by the expression on Sean's face, I'm very sure that Lucas stole the money, what is his connection with the entertainment? Are they family? No, low life Lucas can't come from that family, he had never mentioned them when we were together, but we hardly talked""That money is huge, will he spend it with Sheila alone?" Jealous etched her features as she muttered "I must find him and apologize to him if he actually stole the money. Had it been that he had used his brain as he is using it now, I wouldn't divorce him. But he was there doing stupid meagre work that earned him nothing than peanut""How do I get him? But Lucas is stubborn, what if he rejected me?""Wait! Am I out of my sense? What if he is caught? Daring King Marcus is like asking for a death sentence, why would I be thinking
Chapter 161Lucas was satisfied that they didn't outsmart him about the money and also happy that nothing bad happened to Sheila. He gritted his teeth that he would pay Lydia back with the same kind of humiliation Sheila was served at the anniversary. The call from his phone jolted him out of his thoughts. It was Fabian his friend calling him, he answered the call instantly, " Hello,"Just want to congratulate you,""Thank you, Fabian, the next step would be carried out in your house if they take any step, if they do not, stay in your house and eat chicken with your wife, " He smirked"You know King Marcus will retaliate, so no need for chicken and rice, bye" Fabian retorted and ended the call. "John, if comb my hair, would the thing still be intact""Yes, sir, you don't need to panic sir, you can wash and do anything with your hair,""You can drop me at home,""Home?! John exclaimed Lucas nodded, he was scared of being seen with anyone, because he would soon reveal his secret to
Chapter 162.Lucas stood behind her as she watched the event on the television, she swirled as she heard Lucas's name being mentioned and she doubted if he was the one responsible for looting the money, she recalled that Lucas had a system and he was into freelancing. Could stealing be freelancing he was into?!She mustered courage and asked, "Lucas, I heard someone mentioning your name at the event I watched now,""Do you know anything about it?" she stammered "Yes," his expression remained the same as he answered. Sheila gawked at him, tapped him on his chest and said," Stop cracking expensive jokes, where would you get such skill? If you had that, you would have rubbed a bank for Lydia,""Are you happy now?""No, I'm not, why would I be happy when a thief stole all the money,""Look at the note the person left, maybe they wanted to cheat him and he outsmarted them,""I won't lie, I'm a bit relieved but not that much, I think they deserve it. I'm tired. I will be going inside to r
Chapter 162"Sheila, I'm not playing please, marry me!" Lucas's voice was laced with emotion as he talked. Realization washed over Sheila and she moved backwards and said, "Are you okay Lucas? Are you sick again that you don't know what you are saying?""Nothing wrong with me Sheila, I can only be sick if you don't accept my proposal, I have known you enough, I don't need a date at this moment, I have come to realize that I love you and I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you,"Sheila's eyes welled up and tears were dropping uncontrollably and said, "I don't love any longer, I have closed the door to my heart due to much heartbroken I have received from the person I loved and he decided to treat me as he liked, please stand up before people start coming in, I don't love you,"I'm sorry, Sheila, I don't mean to break your heart over and over, I could not control my emotions then, please forgive me,"Sheila was shocked by what Lucas said last and asked, "Wait! Do you know I hav
Chapter 164Lucas noticed that people following them were a bit far away from them, he instantly halted to explain to Sheila and wanted to make an excuse but naive Sheila didn't give him an audience. she didn't want any negative feelings to spoil her mood because she was feeling as if she was at the top of the world. "I'm sorry love, I have a secret to tell you now,"Is it a heartbreaking secret? "Yes,""Please keep it, I don't want to hear anything like that, you can tell me some other day, you own me and I own you now,"You asked if I still love you. "Yes,"The percentage of love I have for you has dropped to 40% if you tell me anything negative, it will drop to 10% and 0," she giggled as she explained "Alright," Lucas was thinking of how to let go of Sheila's hand then the call came in for Sheila, it was her dad calling. She released her hand from Lucas's grip and moved a bit away from Lucas, she turned her back to him because she wanted to inform her dad about the current sit
Chapter 165Kayle and the other people working in the mansion could not ask Titan what had happened to be the only one that could give them a clue as to why Sheila was crying. They could not ask because of his formidable posture. He wished he could go out and help but he didn't want to disobey Lucas's instructions, he told him to protect Sheila with everything he had until he came back. Unknown to him he would not come back completely. Sheila found his way back inside with the help of Kayle, she laid her on the bed and asked if she should prepare something for her but Sheila didn't answer, she had turned pale, she wanted to be left alone and said, "Please leave," her voice was shaking as she talked. Her phone beeped and hurriedly retrieved it from her purse to see if Lucas had escaped and needed help. But to her disappointment, Lydia texted her. Her eyes widened in horror as she read her text "Good for You!". She did not understand what she meant by the statement was she referring
