The Billionaire Son-in-law 237. Reminisce.
Detective Jones saw his opponent draw a weapon but he was too focused on the little lady in front of him to do anything about it. He felt the bullet pierce through his stomach and he clutched the wound, trying to minimize the bleeding. It wasn't the first time he would be getting shot but somehow, the pain was different this time around, probably the brand of the pistol was a high one. Slowly, his legs gave in and it was suddenly impossible for him to stand. He went down on his knees as he felt his blood wetting his shirt and down to his pants. He was losing blood… and he was losing too much of it. From the corner or his eyes, he noticed his attackers running off, probably to prevent people from seeing them and the young lady ran towards him.He tried to lay down gently, to prevent himself from hitting his head on the hard ground or else that could cause another crucial injury. Before he lost the strength to stay awake, he noticed her making a call. Hopefully, if the ambulance arr

"Okay, I don't want to cause any rift between you two but–""It's okay Mike. You can say it.""Okay. First of all, Lucas, Ivy's mother didn't kill your parents. Grover did.""What?" He had spent his whole life believing a lie. Ever since he found out that Grover was an evil person, he suspected that some or most of what he told him was a lie, he just never thought this was one of it."While they didn't kill them directly, your mother was kind of involved indirectly." He continued."What Grover told me was that he was working with Festus, and that both of them planned to kill your parents, but Ivy's mother found out. She threatened to call the cops on them and both culprits decided to bribe her with the house and a company.""Wait so… the house we grew up in, and the company they owned… does it all belong to Lucas?""I'm afraid so.""Oh my goodness. So uh, why did she adopt him then?""She didn't want to, Grover asked her to. There was a ten million dollar payment for whoever took the

Mike had already convinced him that the people at work were on his side but for some reason he still felt nervous."Hey, it's okay." Ivy placed a hand on his thigh and smiled tenderly at him.He clasped her hand in his and smiled too. He had to be strong, if not for anything, for Ivy's sake. She was also affected by all what was happening as well but she was trying to put on a brave act, just to support him. He recalled the expression she had on when she returned from her visit to her mother's place. She refused to tell him what happened but he knew that Blanche had said something hurtful to her."Avery and I will be there to support you." Mike said with a smile."Ella and I will also attend, to cheer you on." Defective Jones said and Ella smiled cheerfully. Luvas was grateful to have all of them on his side, and the fact that detective Jones w

"Hey John, would you do me a favor?""Sure, anything for you man.""Great. Could you find a way to summon everyone to the conference room by break time? There's something I need to tell you guys.""Sure thing. By the way, why did you and Lucas stop coming to work? Were you fired?""I'll explain everything at the meeting.""Okay then."★"First, I'd like to thank you all for dedicating your time to me, I know how important our break is to us. Well, I'll try not to take much of your time. I'm sure everyone in this room is familiar with the name Lucas Williams. Some of you might not have not known him personally, but you know he works here with us.""Yeah?""Is he a fraud?" A lady asked and some others agreed."I knew it!" Another exclaimed. "He was fired, wasnt he?""Nah, the Lucas I know is way to soft to be a fraud." Another guy countered."You can never judge a person by their looks, my dear friend. I heard he's poor, so he'll do anything for money.""I don't believe you." The low

FLASHBACK.Ever since Evelyn interrupted their date, Ivy had turned sour. The sun suddenly felt too harsh for her and the sand was too icky. Lucas wondered what he could do to get her to cheer up but nothing seemed to be working.He wasn't giving up though, there was no way he would allow her best friend turned rival to get the last laugh."Hey Ivy, you wanna ride a horse?""Of course not." The reason for her quick and firm reply was because Ivy wasn't a fan of horses, in fact, they terrified her to the bone."Oh come on, it'll be fun.""Peter said the same thing when we were younger, and how did that turn out for me?" When they were younger, their family had taken a trip to the beach and peter managed to convince Ivy to try out horseback riding. Summoning the courage, she agreed to do it but then just as she was settled on the horse, it went beserk.
