Chapter 229
“I thought all rich people are not nice, but you proved me wrong, you are nice,” Susan said, breaking the silence between them.
“I’m not nice Susan, I’m mean and evil, you just haven’t seen that side of me yet,” Lucas said in response and she giggled.
Lucas stared at her. He didn’t know why but something deep down was telling him someone sent Susan to him. But then he quickly waved off the thoughts, he was probably over thinking.
“I was one of the waitresses at Mr Thomas’s banquet party last night. I didn’t want to approach you last night. I was scared at first.
I was on my way home when I saw you standing by your car looking sad and angry, I don’t know but something inside of me told me to approach you which I did” She paused and Lucas stared at her without saying a word.
He remembered her approaching him and asking him if he was okay. He had told her he was okay but she insisted he wasn’t, that he could talk to her, it might make him feel better.
So, Lucas had told her someone at the party had got him angry and she had consoled him.
It wasn’t long, she had heard her phone ring and said she needed to get home, Lucas couldn’t let her go that way, so he took her number and told her he would invite her over to his house.
He had called her this morning and she responded and came without asking questions.
“Do you work as a waitress on a normal day?” Lucas asked.
“No, I just graduated from college and I’m looking for a job, it’s been difficult finding one.
Recently, my mother fell sick and I was the one doing everything, paying all the bills, and also paying for her treatment. I’m running out of cash, so I’m doing everything in my power to make sure I get money” she said with a smile on her face.
That’s a lot of expenses for a little girl, Lucas thought.
“Is that the reason you agreed to come to my house when I called?” He asked and she looked away from him.
“Yeah, I saw that you were rich, and maybe if I came you could give me some money,” she said and the look on Lucas’s face became a weird one.
Now, he understood the real reason she had agreed to come over to his house without hesitation. She had agreed to have sex with him because she needed money.
He sighed without saying a word. He then walked towards his wardrobe, brought out six bundles of money, and gave it to her.
“That’s $10k each, it should be enough for your mom’s treatment,” he said and Susan opened her eyes wide in shock. Suddenly tears poured out of her eyes.
She went on her knees immediately to thank him.
“It’s fine, you should go to your mom,” he said and she nodded and put the money in her bag, she also took the one from
The bed, before walking out of the room.
The moment she walked out of the house, Hannah’s car drove in.
Susan on the other hand had just walked out of Colby’s compound and stared around if anyone was watching, luckily, no one was.
Just then a car drove in front of her, she opened the car door and entered the car. She met a lady sitting at the back of the car.
“Did everything go as planned?” The lady in black shade asked.
“Yes, he fell for my lies and believed my story. He gave me $60k” Susan said as she brought out six bundles from the money and gave it to her, while she hid the rest of the money.
“Good, anything else? Did he talk about me?” She asked.
“No, he didn’t mention you, not even once. And there’s this pretty lady he was with last night. I think Hannah is her name, I met her. She seems nice” she said and there was a silence that followed.
“And the little sister, she’s so rude,” Susan added.
“You mean the little bitch, Jessica. I’m gonna take care of her. Your work is done Susan, I will call you whenever I need you” she said and then gave her a bundle of money before she came out of the car.
The lady smiled as she removed her glass, and then smiled. Game on, she muttered.
Hannah and the kids had alighted the car and walked inside the house.
As they walked inside the house, they saw Lucas climbing down the stairs.
“Hey, Uncle Lucas” the kids muttered and Lucas laughed as they all rushed towards him.
“Hey buddies, how was school today?” He asked.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“School was fine, Uncle Lucas” they all echoed at once and he smiled.
“Hey kids, go to your room now, I’ll be there in a jiffy,” Hannah said and the kids nodded and went upstairs to their room.
“Hey,” Lucas muttered with a smile on his face.
“Hey, I saw your girlfriend leaving just now,” Hannah said and Lucas sighed.
“Oh, Susan? She’s not my girlfriend. I lied. I met her just yesterday at the banquet party and exchanged contacts” Lucas said and Hannah hummed while staring at him without saying a word.
“I’ll go to the kids now, they must be waiting for me,” she said and was about to walk away when the front door opened revealing Brandon.
The moment Hannah saw him, she was surprised, because he was supposed to be at the company.
“Why did you go pick the kids from school? I thought I asked you to rest, how are you feeling now?” Brandon asked in the most caring tone ever.
“I’m feeling better,” she said and he smiled and kissed her gently on her lips. Hannah’s cheeks turned red at once.
She then turned to Lucas who was staring at them with jealousy in his eyes. He knew whatever Brandon was doing was to make him feel jealous and it was working.
Just then they heard a knock on the front door.
“I’ll go get the door,” Hannah said as she walked towards the door leaving the two brothers alone.
“You know some things ain’t necessary right? If you want to kiss your wife or make out with her, you could go to your bedroom and do that. That’s why it’s called a bedroom, ” Lucas said and Brandon scoffed.
“Why? Are you jealous? The last time I checked, this house is mine and I can do whatever I want in my house” he said and Lucas hummed.
“I’m not jealous Brandon, if I wanted your wife she would have been mine already,” he said and Brandon smiled at him.
“Keep dreaming Brother,” Brandon said and just then he heard his phone ring. He checked the caller ID and moved away from Lucas before answering the call.
