Chapter 872 Moving To A Villa

Lucas' father had passed away for more than ten years. Thus, the news that his mother had found a replacement caused Lucas' head to spin, as the fact was too shocking for him to accept.

"Mom, have you gone senile? Why are you looking for a companion at this age?" Lucas asked candidly.

His words upset Carmen, who then gave his arm forceful pinch. "I'm a woman too. You're allowed to philander all you want, but am I not permitted to replace someone to live out my days with?"

A frown descended on Lucas' face as he rubbed the painful spot on his arm. It was then that he remembered the burning question in his mind. "Didn't you mention that Mr. Ward was at home? But there's nothing in the house. Literally nothing at all. What in the world happened?"

Carmen froze before she murmured, "That's impossible! When Mr. Ward asked me to go shopping on his behalf, he was still in my room. How can he not be home?"

The fact that Aiden hadn't shown himself while she was having a conversation with her son was enough to arouse Carmen's suspicions.

Considering Aiden's friendly demeanor, he would definitely not stay in the room and refuse to come out. The more she thought of it, the more she felt that something was amiss.

Can it be that he has gone out? But when I left, he clearly said that he would wait for my return. There's no way he would have gone without informing me.

"Come, let's go into the house first." Carmen entered the villa with her bags in tow.

The moment she opened the door, the scene before her caused her jaw to drop. In fact, she even dropped the clothes she bought Aiden and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

The villa that was once grand and opulent looked as if it had been cleared out by thieves, leaving nothing behind.

In a fit of rage, Carmen twisted Lucas' ear and screamed. "You id*ot! Did you finish spending the one billion I gave you and end up selling everything at home to pay off your debts?"

As pain stung his ear, Lucas pleaded, "Mom, Mom, can you let go of me first? The house already looked like that when I just got home today. Isn't it ridiculous for you to blame me for it?"

Carmen released Lucas' ear upon realizing that Lucas' words made sense.

"If it wasn't you who cleared this place out, who else could it have been?"

Wondering if it was Heather instead, Carmen asked, "Lucas, did you see your sister when you came home? Can it be that she has hooked up with the chairman of Four Seas Corporation and plans to move us to a bigger villa? Perhaps she's keeping it a secret to surprise us."

Lucas immediately found his mother's speculation possible. The chairman of Four Seas Corporation did fancy Heather after all.

Now that Heather and Alex were divorced, it was likely that Heather and the chairman had gotten. together.

Hence, Lucas nodded vehemently with a smile on his face. "Mom, you're right. The chairman of Four Seas Corporation might have bought us a larger villa and is just waiting for us to move in!"

The thought alone tilted Carmen with pareiparius Ton hoogh the had one billion and given tudn to two hundred million for tali beverines de planced so opent de noutry in due together Than berking vill want within her coudresses at all

She then patted Lucas on his back and said. "What are you spacing out for Give Heather a call right away and get her to send us the new villa << address?"

With that. Larcas whipped out his phone and did as he was told.

In the meantime, the delighted Carmen brought out her phone too, planning to call Aiden and inform him of the good news. The last thing she wanted was for him to return and worry when he didn't see anyone at home.
