Chapter 79

What Hari said caused a throb in Lucas' heart

Lucas tried to say something to refute but found that he couldn't refute anything,

Deep down, Lucas never felt sorry for Jessica. Although he was the one who proposed the marriage, he wouldn't have married her if Jessica hadn't played tricks the other night.

Lucas never thought he did anything wrong. Everything that happened next originated from the other night.

If Jessica hadn't set a trap for Lucas, Lucas would never have thought about marrying her. Then, Jessica didn't have to marry Lucas

Lucas closed his eyes slightly. "She was the plotter the other night."

Hari still had a bunch of righteous words to scold Lucas. The chance was rare, so Hari had to take it.

Yet what Lucas had just said stopped Hari from going on.

Suddenly, a guess flashed into Hari's mind, "Have you ever thought that Jessica might also have been the victim that night?"

Hari didn't look reliable, yet he could always come up with some inspiring words at the right time.

What Hari said sobered Lucas up.

Lucas had never looked into what happened four years ago.

That night, Lucas' wine was drugged. Vincent took a leave at that time, so he wasn't by Lucas' side. Thus, Lucas held himself back and went back to his room. Later, a woman pushed in. That woman said she knew Lucas and called Lucas by his name. She said she had been in love with him for quite some time.

Lucas was drugged and he reacted more slowly than usual. When that woman threw herself at Lucas, he didn't have the time to dodge her.

Besides, Lucas was stressed out because of the business marriage Justin imposed on him. Thus, Lucas didn't resist the woman. Since she liked him, he would choose her.

Lucas didn't quite remember what had happened the other night. Driven by the drug, he lost control of himself. He didn't even know when he started and when he ended. The next morning, when Lucas woke up, he saw Jessica lying beside him.

Lucas took a shower Sitting on a chair, Lucas lit a cigarette and decided on marrying Jessica.

Lucas offered to marry Jessica, Jessica said that Lucas didn't have to make up for her, yet Lucas thought that it was a trick Jessica played. Lucas didn't say much and insisted on marrying Jessica The mariage made no change to Lucas' life. Although he lived together with Jessica, Lucas didn't spend much time in Thomas villa,

Lucas always thought that Jessica was the plotter, so he never put his hands on her,

Lucas had never been tricked like that. He knew that Jessica liked him, so he wouldn't let her have him.

But now, Hani said that Jessica might have been a victim that night

Lucas had never thought that way. He never asked Vicent to investigate how this happened, either

After four years, when Hani suddenly tought it back, lucas lernembered that he had never confirmed what had happened back then

Hari had known Lucas for so many years. Though Lucas remained silent, his face turned grim. Lucas knew that he must have hit the point.

Hari looked at Lucas for a while and felt that Lucas looked like someone who had just been dumped.

Hari felt sorry for Lucas and patted him on the shoulder. "Try to get over it. The most important thing now is to replace out what happened back then."

Hari kept something to himself. He wanted to tell Lucas that given how resolute Jessica was when divorcing him and how indifferent her attitude was now, Jessica was probably not the plotter back then. Alas, Hari was just too kind-hearted to say that out. Hari didn't want to upset Lucas.

Lucas glanced at Hari, put down the goblet in his hand, and left.

Hari hurried to follow Lucas up and said, "Hey, where are you going?"

Lucas put on a stern face. He ignored Hari and dialed Vincent's number.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Vincent suddenly received a call from Lucas. He thus woke up with a jerk. "Mr. Thomas?"

"Look into what happened four years ago and tell me who was behind that!"

Vincent paused for a moment before he understood what Lucas was saying. He sobered up completely. He then said, "Okay, Mr. Thomas, I'll look into it right away!"

After that, Vincent got up from bed and started to take a look into what happened four years ago.

After Lucas gave orders to Vincent, he didn't feel that awful anymore. Lucas wanted to know the truth desperately.

Lucas stood up and opened the door, ready to leave.

As soon as Lucas opened the door, he saw Terry standing at the door.

Lucas looked at Terry, his golden eyes as cold as ice.
