Chapter 875 Prepare To Bury Me

"You've lived long enough to know what you should or shouldn't do, so how did you still get cheated of all your money? Are you dumb? Have you lost your mind?" Lucas yelled at Carmen.

He was filled with so much unbridled rage that he didn't even care that he was lashing out at his own mother.

"You stupid id ot! That was nine billion, for goodness' sake! Losing that money is as good as killing me." he added, huffing and puffing as he did. "You'd better be prepared to bury me once the three days are up!"

If she weren't my mother. I'd have strangled her with my bare hands!

Likewise, Carmen couldn't care that her son was screaming his head off at her. She had nearly been driven mad by Aiden and was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

"I-I didn't do it on purpose... I never thought this would happen, either," she muttered as tears rolled down her cheeks. The thought of ending her own life had even crossed her mind, but try as she might, she couldn't bring herself to do so.

"What's the use of apologizing now? I racked up a hundred million debt at the casino, and if I can't pay it back, you can start preparing for my funeral!" Lucas bellowed.

I didn't even think the hundred million was an issue until now... Argh! How could any of this have happened? Mom's pushing me to my grave!

An anxiety-ridden Carmen quickly grabbed her son's arm, her face still smudged with snot and tears. "What are you talking about, Lucas? What's this about a funeral? Haven't I given you one billion previously? As long as we watch our spending, we'd still be able to live a comfortable life."

"If you can be cheated of nine billion, why can't I spend one billion?" Lucas retorted as he

unceremoniously shoved his mother away and pulled his hair in frustration. "I'm done for, and it's all your fault! Why do I have such a dumb and useless mother?"

After listening to the brief rundown, Carmen finally understood what had happened.

Unrepentant as always and confident that he had money to burn, Lucas had gone to the casino to try his luck. He started by betting hundreds of thousands on each hand and eventually resorted to borrowing a whopping one billion from Dmitri. In the end, he lost all the money.

If Lucas hadn't told Dmitri that his family was wealthy, the latter wouldn't have released him home.

Alas, he never expected that his family would be struck by such a misfortune, either.

"Calm down, Lucas. Everything will be fine... Have you forgotten that the chairman of Four Seas Corporation is interested in Heather? That makes you his future brother-in-law. How could he not help you?" Carmen coaxed, having brushed aside Lucas' harsh words from before.

-After all, what right did she have to reprimand him when she too had made such an unforgivable mistake?

The more Lucas thought about Carmen's suggestion, the more his fear dissipated. That's right! My future brother-in-law is the chairman of Four Seas Corporation. I'm sure a formidable man like him will have no problem giving me a billion!

Just then, Heather's car pulled up in front of the villa. As soon as she walked in and saw the scene that greeted her, her eyes widened in shock.

"Mom, have all these things been taken away by that conman, Aiden?"

The next second, Carmen rushed up to hug Heather and burst into tears. Oh, gosh! I've already told Mom before that Aiden wasn't a good person, but she refused to heed my advice. Now that he's deceived her, she comes crying to me... Then again, she's my mother, and I know she isn't all to blame for this.

Seeing how devastated Carmen was, Heather softened a little. "There, there. It's just a few pieces of furniture. We'll buy more in the future."

"It's worse than that, Heather! The setmbag that Mom brought home has cheated her of all her money!" Lucas fumed.

Stunned by the news, Heather stood rooted to the spot....
