Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter 168

Hearing that, Lucas looked even more sullen. He then had a quick review of what had happened the other day.

He attended a private gathering between the Thomas family and the Hartley family that day. The cho sen restaurant was private property owned by Hari's family. It was rarely opened to the public. The Hartley family only treated their friends and business partners there.

During the gathering, Lucas had only taken a glass of wine Hari poured him.

And that glass was never out of Lucas sight.

Besides that, Lucas had only accepted a bottle of water from Olivia when he was about to leave.

He happened to be thirsty then, so he took a sip.

Lucas recalled that and his face darkened.

He picked up his car key and left the company.

Lucas drove back to the Thomas villa soon after.

That was when the Thomas family had just had their breakfast.

Lucas went upstairs directly to Olivia's door and knocked on it.

Olivia didn't have much pocket money recently. Thus, she spent most of her time at home rather than hanging out with her friends,

Olivia thought it was Rebecca when she heard the knock, so she opened the door.

Then she saw Lucas standing at her door with a stern face.

"Come down with me," said Lucas. He then went downstairs to the parlor.

Olivia had a bad hunch. She quickly ran to Rebecca's room and knocked on the door.

Then she hurriedly ran downstairs to the parlor.

Lucas stood in front of the sofa and looked coldly at Olivia as she walked over. Behind her was Rebec ca, who looked quite puzzled.

"There's something in that bottle of water you gave me after the gathering, right?"

"No, that's just water. Why did you say that?" Olivia tried to be calm. But she was too afraid of Lucas. Besides, she did do something guilty. It was hard to hide her nervousness when speaking.

"Do I have to show you the evidence?" Lucas said word by word, looking coldly at Olivia. The coldness in his eyes was something Olivia had never seen before.

Olivia staggered to run away, but Lucas pulled her over.

Lucas was furious, so he pulled Olivia hard, Olivia felt like her arm was going to be ripped off.

She was so scared that she could hardly stand still. Olivia then leaned against Rebecca and burst out crying.

"Lucas, what happened? Why are you suddenly so angry at your sister?" Rebecca was also startled to see Lucas in such fury.

Olivia hid behind Rebecca, but just as she got there, Lucas pulled her back.

"What happened? Why don't you ask your daughter what she did?" Lucas said with his teeth clenched.

"What are you doing? What's the noise about?" Justin heard the noise from the parlor and came out. As soon as he came to the parlor, he saw that Olivia was in a panic while Rebecca looked tense. Justin turned to Lucas and asked, "Lucas, what are you doing here? You are supposed to be at work now."

Olivia felt less scared since Justin and Rebecca were both there. She hurried to cut in, "Grandpa, I have no idea why Lucas suddenly lost his temper. I thought he was going to kill me.”

"Seriously, Olivia? You are still trying to lie?" Lucas said coldly, "The day before yesterday, there's some thing in the bottle of water she gave me. That was why Jessica and I ended up in the same hotel room." Rebecca couldn't help but shed sweat when she heard that. "Lucas, are you sure about that? How could Olivia do that?"

"Mommy, I didn't do anything." Olivia held Rebecca's arm and cried.

"Very well. Since you won't admit it, then I'll have to hand the evidence to the police. I can only wish you luck when you talk to the police." Lucas was irritated when Olivia refused to tell the truth, Previously, Lucas only saw Olivia as a spoiled and willful little girl. She behaved better after she was locked in the Black House for three days.

But clearly, Olivia hadn't learned her lesson. This time, she even put her hands on Lucas.

Jessica was right. Olivia was exactly an ill-bred, arrogant, and stupid rich girl.

Olivia freaked out when she heard that Lucas was about to turn her to the police.

As a Thomas, she would be humiliated if she went to jail because she tried to drug her brother.

Not just humiliated.

She would be doomed.
