Chapter 122

Olivia immediately froze still when hearing Justin scold her. She looked at Rebecca pleadingly.Rebecca also wanted to plead for Olivia, but when she found out how angry Justin was and howcold Lucas’ face was, she didn't dare to say anything. After all, she was never important in the family."Dwayne, take Olivia back to her room. From today onwards, she’s not allowed to leave the house!”Justin slammed the coffee cup heavily on the table.

He continued, “Also, cancel Olivia's annual dividend.”

“Grandpa!” Olivia was just about to heave a sigh of relief when she knew that she would only begrounded, but she could not help but plead when she knew that her annual dividend was canceled.Without the annual dividend, she only had 20 thousand dollars of monthly pocket money.

For ordinary people, this could be considered a large amount of money, but for socialites who oftenneeded to go to social places, the money was too little.

This meant that Olivia could no longer buy those luxury goods and dresses, Imagine it! She wouldappear at the dinner parties in out -of-season dresses.

Olivia could not imagine what the others would say about her behind her back.

“She shouldn't be forgiven with such a small punishment,” Lucas said calmly.

"Shit! What else does Jessica want? She's just a young girl. Do I need to give up on the reputation ofthe whole family only to apologize to her?” Justin slammed the table in anger and Olivia trembled infear.

"What if she stands for the entire Hall family?” Lucas’ words made Justin speechless.

Only then did Justin realize that Jessica was no longer the same as before. She was no longer Mrs.Thomas that they could bully, but the daughter of the richest man in New York.

The Thomas family might be able to contend against the Hall family, but the result would definitelybe both sides suffering,

Thinking of this, Justin suddenly felt very tired. He leaned back in his chair and said in a weak voice,“Then what do you think we should do?”

"Send the clarification in the name of the Thomas family.” Lucas’ eyes darkened.

“No, I won't allow it. That is my bottom line.” Justin coughed twice, shook his head, and said,“Alright, all of you can go back to your room. I'll get this settled.”

He already had a plan in his heart, which could satisfy both Jessica's request and preserve thereputation of the Thomas family.

Hearing Justin's words, Olivia prepared to go upstairs to her room, dejected.

Lucas, however, grabbed her arm.

Olivia looked up at Lucas’ increasingly cold golden eyes. She suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear.“Lucas, I really have already apologized to Jessica.” Olivia cried.

“Olivia, do you think being grounded is a big enough punishment for what you have done?” Lucaslooked at Olivia with anger in his deep eyes, his voice devoid of any warmth

“Do you know how much money the Thomas Group will lose after the clarification announcement?”Olivia felt an invisible yet powerful pressure pressing down on her

She subconsciously took a step back. As the youngest daughter of the Thomas family, her arrogancewas always tolerated by her farruly. But this time, she found that Lucas really did not intend totolerate her anymore.

Aucas glanced at Dwayne expressionlessly. He nodded to Dwayne and said, “Take Olivia to BlackHouse.

“Lucant” Rebecca couldn't help but cry out

Olivia was sobbing in the first place When she heard what Lucas said, she was so scared that sheforgot to breathe

walls and foors in the entire room. There wasn't even a cushion in the room, not to mention a bedBeing locked inside Black House was like being deprived of hearing and sight, not even knowinghow time passed..

This was the most severe punishment for members of the Thomas family

Back then, Lucas father, Louis Thomas, delayed the business of the company because of his mistressbirthday. He caused the company to suffer a great loss. At that time, Louis was grounded in BlackHouse for five days.

Olivia was still young at that time. She only remembered that when Louis came out, he seemed tobe ten years older.

That feeling of fear was fresh in Olivia's memory

Before today, she never thought what she had done was a big deal, and she regretted it for the firsttime for provoking Jessica

But it was already too late
