Chapter 3000

"Say something, Caspian!"

Lisa tugged at his shirt and implored.

"He will only listen to Larry, so don't waste your efforts."

Lisa was instantly dejected when she heard Joan said this.

"Eh, Joan, I think the most important thing is to hand the money to..." Caspian tried to mediate.

"No! If she agrees to our condition, you can head straight to the brothel to pay up.If she doesn't, I will not let you go with the money"

Joan was firm in her demands as she knew this had to be made absolutely clear to Lisa.

Otherwise, she could foresee more trouble in the future.

Lisa was no pushover. She was a wolf in sheep's clothing. It was obvious to all present, except for oblivion Caspian.

"Stop crying." Larry finally broke his silence.

"Larry, what do you say?"

Caspian's pleading look made Larry sad. He was saddened that Caspian got into a messy affair with a con woman like Lisa.

Larry and Joan tried to hide this incident from Jessica out of goodwill.

They wanted to protect Caspian. However, things did not go as smoothly as they had anticipated.

"If you choose to not listen to my opinion on this, that would spell the end of our friendship."

Larry set an ultimatum. He knew Caspian was softhearted and would have been manipulated by Lisa into keeping her by his side.

That would drive Jessica crazy! Larry had no choice but to play the bad guy and pressure Caspian into doing the right thing.

Caspian was in a dilemma and felt lost. He was caught between his best friend and a woman he felt he had wronged.

In the meantime, Joan was staring fixedly at Lisa. She was full of suspicion.

Why would that madam let go of Lisa and 'sell' her off to Caspian so easily?Could there be more to it than meets the eye? Joan was worried as the more she thought about it, the more fishy it felt. "Caspian, if you still love Jessica, you should make a clean decision to end this messy affair"

Larry was clenching his fist and looking solemn.

Although Caspian was like a brother to him, Larry was also protective of Jessica, who was orphaned and had looked up to him as family.

Indeed.

Life had not been easy for Jessica in the past many years.

Caspian bowed his head in shame.

"Caspian, I really cannot live without you! I'll die!" Lisa wailed loudly.

"Shut up!"

All of a sudden, Joan shouted out in anger.

She would have been less provoked if Lisa had made a big fuss, screamed, and cursed.

This emotional manipulation game she was playing was despicable, and Joan was even more furious as Caspian was gullibly falling for it.

"Joan, what is wrong? Are you angry? Please don't be mad at me! I will keep quiet if that will appease you."

Her pitiful act looked so realistic that Caspian felt a pang of sympathy for her.

Larry's face fell as he watched the drama unfold.

Looks like we are dealing with a formidable foe here.

He took a sip of tea and a deep breath, then asked, "Caspian, what do you propose?"

Caspian opened his mouth but was lost for words.

In his heart, he wanted to let Lisa go and stay with Jessica.

"Caspian, if I discover I am pregnant someday, I will know that is your flesh and blood."

Lisa suddenly made this remark and left the rest dumbstruck.

No way! This child cannot be brought into this world

"Don't you take contraceptives?" Joan asked anxiously.

"I did not have the chance to take it when it happened.After that, by the time I remembered, it was too late" Lisa softly muttered.
