The Billionaire Son-in-law 57. Fact Finding.
"Lucas, why are you back home? Did something happen at work?" Ivy questioned as he let himself in."I got arrested." He muttered, his voice coming out almost like a whisper. He was still dazed by the events that happened."Arrested? What for?""Tracy accused me of attempted rape." He still couldn't believe it as the words came out of his mouth. Tracy, all those while, he foolishly thought she wanted to take Mike's place. He never knew this was her plan."That's not possible." "Well, it happened. She said I was the one who asked her to wait and that I tried to assault her.""Wait till I get my hands on that wench, I'm so going to kill her." Ivy looked angry but then her expression changed as she saw the look on her husband's face. "Hey, you didn't do anything wrong, there's no reason to have that sad look on your face.""I just can't believe it. How could she do something like this to me? What could she possibly gain from it?""Maybe money?"He doubted it. Tracy was from a rich family

"Are you the one behind all this?""No. I was actually quite surprised when I saw the news.""Then who could it be?""I have no idea but I must say, I'm impressed. Everything must have been well planned, and the timing is perfect. Do you think he can come out of this?""I highly doubt it. There's solid evidence against him and he doesn't have any witness to prove his innocence.""That's good news for me. I don't even want him to escape this, it'll serve him right for going up against someone above his level.""Yes, finally someone would put him in his place once and for all."★★★"You came willingly.""I don't have any reason to hide or run, I'm innocent." This was the third time in two days that he would be summoned for more questioning, and he was being asked the same questions all over again.Why did he do it? Why was he alone with her after everyone else had gone? The same questions to which he would give the same answers."Miss Tracy said that wasn't your first time of doing some

"What are we going to do Grover? I'm scared.""Relax sire, I trust Mr Manning, he'll get you out of this.""Yes sir, you don't have to worry. For the next hearing, we'll need some witnesses to testify. Can you make that arrangement?""I'll try." He hoped Mike hadn't changed his mind on testifying, and he also hoped it would be enough."Just put your mind at ease, and try not to look so tense in court, it makes you an easy target. Even if you were guilty of the offense pinned against you, you should never look too guilty. Understood?""Okay."★★★The days flew by so quickly and before Lucas had the time to prepare himself for the next hearing, it was already the twenty sixth. Luckily, he was able to get Mike and some others to testify at the court.Tracy's lawyer started and was doing his best to crucify him and Lucas could only be patient and wait for his turn. Taking Mr Manning's advice, he tried to steady his breathing and tried not to let his worries show on his face that much."Th

Lucas still couldn't believe how the case turned around like that. He had hoped that the testimonies of his staffs would help but he never expected that turn of things."Section 500 of the criminal code Act states that any person who publishes any defamatory matter is guilty of misdemeanor and is liable to imprisonment for a year. Also, anyone who publishes a defamatory matter, knowing it is false is liable for two years imprisonment and up to a two thousand dollar fine.And it is very clear to us that Miss Tracy Houston reported my client to the authorities and sued him to court, knowing fully well that her accusations were false. So I appeal to the court to release my client and sentence the real criminal to two years imprisonment."Tracy looked like she was about to cry, and even after all she did to him, Lucas couldn't help but to feel bad for her.Now he was more than certain that someone pushed her to it, and he already knew that someone. Marco Platana.Ric Heyman's look was an

"Ooh..." Ivy grumbled as she tossed around in bed."What's wrong?""My stomach, it hurts." She shut her eyes tight and she bit her lip. "Lucas!" She called out when he didn't pay much attention to her."Where does it hurt?" He dropped his phone and joined her on the bed."My back and my stomach, right here." She pointed to her lower abdomen as she moaned out again. "Call doctor Julie, now!!" She demanded, her voice growing hard with pain."Right, of course." He wanted to get his phone from the drawer but she pulled his shirt. "I have to get my phone, honey relax.""I can't wait…use mine." She handed him her cellphone and he hurriedly dialed her number."Hello, doctor Julie, it's Ivy. She's having a really bad stomach ache.""Okay, give her the phone, let me speak to her."Ivy was in no shape to hold the phone so he just put it on speaker. "Ivy, how are you feeling?" She asked."My back is really aching and my lower abdomen hurts like hell." "Like a menstrual cramp?""Like a really ba

"How could you let something like this happen?! I gave you a very simple task, very simple! And you failed woefully!." He spat out angrily as he paced around his living room, his stride, intimidating."We tried our best and things were going smoothly until Tracy's colleagues testified." Ric tried to defend themselves but Marco was accepting it."Why the hell did you leave those pictures on your phone?!" He barked at Tracy who quivered at every word he spoke."I'm sorry….I didn't know–""Didn't know what? Didn't know they would search your phone?" He groaned out in frustration. "How could you be so stupid??!""It's not her fault, she didn't know things would turn out like this." Ric said in her defense. "None of us did, I mean even you didn't know, because if you did, then you would have told her beforehand." Marco looked like he was about to explode, his face had turn red with anger and his breath had grown unsteady. He picked up a golf club from his sport equipment and whacked him w

Lucas sat at work pondering Marco's words. He wanted to believe that it was just an empty threat but deep down in his heart, he feared for the safety of his family.Ivy said her mother had warned her as well, Blanche was never one to panic, so if she said he was dangerous, then he was. He wanted to call Grover but deciding it would be best to see hin in person, he grabbed his blazer from the coat hanger and started to leave when the telephone on his desk rang out. "Sir, Tracy is here to see you."He considered asking her to he thrown out because he didn't want aby trouble but later decided against it. "Send her up."He sat back down and waited for her arrival. He heard a knock on the door, signalling her presence and he let her in. For precautionary measures, he had asked Mike to come with her. "May I have a seat?" She asked as she stood in front of his desk. He nodded and she perched gently on the seat. "Thank you.""Why did you come here?""May I have a word with you alone?""I'

"Push Ivy." Doctor Julie urged and Ivy groaned.Lucas wished there was something he could do to ease her pain, he hated seeing her hurt. "You're doing great honey." He commended, hoping it would make her feel better.Her face was red and her forehead was wrinkled from all the stress she was going through."That's it, you're doing good. Just one more. "Doctor Julie said, urging Ivy not to give up.She shut her eyes tight and pushed as hard as she could and heaved a sigh of relief when she felt her burden lighten."You did it. Congratulations Mr Williams, he looks just like you." Doctor julie said with a smile. "You did it honey." Lucas kissed Ivy on the forehead and she smiled faintly.The nurses took the baby and Ivy to get them cleaned up and Ivy was moved to a ward.After the baby had been cleaned up, he was brought to the ward and handed to Ivy.Lucas couldn't keep his joy to himself. He smiled tenderly at the face of his sleeping son. "What should we name him?" He asked Ivy who wa
