Chapter 871 Owing A Hundred Million

At the Jennings residence in Nebula City, Lucas was stunned by the sight that greeted him when he openest the door. The entire house was empty. The couch, electrical appliances, and antiques were all

gone

"What the f*ck is going on Why didn't Mom and Heather tell me that they moved? Upon recovering from his shock. Lucas figured that they might have shifted during the few days he wasn't at home

Aven then, I've only been away for slightly more than ten days Shouldn't they have told me about it? Lucas was baffled by the turn of events.

Before he could deliberate further on the situation, he reached out to rub his swollen face. The moment he did, an excruciating pain shot through his body.

"Ouch! Those b'stards at the casino are really merciless, It's not like I'm someone who's broke!" The thought of how he was treated at the casino threw Lucas into a fit of rage, which he vented by giving the villa's door a kick.

Upon entering the house, he grabbed a broken chair and sat down on it. There, he whipped out his phone and gave his mother a call.

"You finally found your conscience and decided to call me, haven't you? And here I was, thinking that you were already dead. By the way, I'll be home once I'm done grocery shopping. I'll introduce you to Mr. Ward when I'm back."

As Carmen's voice rang out from the phone, Lucas was clueless as to who the Mr. Ward his mother mentioned was.

As the only possibility dawned upon him, he replied in displeasure, "Mom, don't tell me Mr. Ward is your new companion. I don't agree with this. I'm sure Heather objects to it too! By the way, why didn't you tell me that you guys have moved? I was only gone for a few days. Yet you have already abandoned your own

son?"

Carmen was puzzled over the line, unable to make sense of what Lucas was talking about. "You idiot, what in the world are you talking about? Mr. Ward is at home right now! Try to be a good host and don't ge into a fight. Otherwise. I'm not going to forgive you!"

Lucas was equally confused by Carmen's words as he scanned the empty house again. The only thing I found here is this broken chair. Other than that, there's no sign of anyone at all. After scratching his head, Lucas went out to take another look, just to make sure he wasn't at the wrong place. By the time he looked at his phone, Carmen had already ended the call. Hence, Lucas resigned himself to putting his phone back in his pocket and waiting for Carmen to return. so that he could clarify the matter.

On top of that, he wanted to inform her about the hundred million loan he borrowed from the loan shark. If he didn't repay it in three days, Dmitri would have his legs severed. Nonetheless, Lucas wasn't too concerned about his debt, for his former brother-in-law had given his family ten billion. All he needed to do was use some of the money to pay it off. Thereafter, Lucas sat languidly in the chair with his legs crossed. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he pulled out his phone and played the latest game.

Soon. Carmen returned with both hands filled with shopping bags Upon hearing the main door bring opened, Lucas put his phone away and hurried to Carmens side

"Mom, why did you buy so many clothes Why is there mens underwear too? Did you get them for mer

 Luaas rummaged through Carmen's bags, he was surprised when she slapped his hand away and reprimanded him. "You id'ot, I didn't get them for you They're for Mr. Ward. Now that he has been promoted in his company, he'll be someone important going forward Obviously, his outfits will have to match his status"

"Mr. Ward?" Lucas scratched his head and asked, "Mom, tell me what's going on with this Mr. Ward?"

The mere mention of Aiden caused Carmen to blush. She then shyly explained. "He'll be living with us and will become your dad in the future. He might be only in his thirties, but he has been exceptionally good to me."
