"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

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.

"Hey Luke, nice to see you."Lucas stared at their unexpected guest, his mouth slightly opened in shock. "Evelyn?""Who's at the door?" When Ivy saw her, her expression turned sour. "What are you doing here?"FLASHBACK"Hey Evelyn, wait up!" Lucas ran after the lady who made little effort to wait for him. "Hi, I noticed you were at our house earlier. Were you looking for Ivy?""What the hell is your problem?!" "What?""What exactly do you want from me, you freak?!"Lucas didn't understand why she was raising her voice, he just wanted to let her know that Ivy was attending an event with her father and won't be back till later at night.He moved closer to her."Hey, why are you–""Ah!" She screamed out and held her purse. "Somebody help me, he's trying to rob me!""What! What is wrong with you?" People around were starting to look in his direction so he slowly backed away from her.

The Billionaire Son-in-law 246. The Event
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

"Mother, hey, it is so nice of you to show up." Ivy said with a fake smile as she approached the woman who birthed her. "You know, it warms my heart that you two are here to support Lucas as well."Blanche's response was a hard glare and she scoffed at her daughter's words. "Oh Please, you know why your brother and I are here.""Of course, you are here to support your loving daughter and her hardworking husband.""Ivy–""It's okay mother, you don't have to say anything. I know exactly how you feel." Ivy was loving the look her mother had on her face, taunting her was making her feel so much better.
