Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)
Chapter 122
Chapter 122
Olivia immediately froze still when hearing Justin scold her. She looked at Rebecca pleadingly.
Rebecca also wanted to plead for Olivia, but when she found out how angry Justin was and how cold Lucas’ face was, she didn’t dare to say anything. After all, she was never important in the family.
“Dwayne, take Olivia back to her room. From today onwards, she’s not allowed to leave the house!” Justin slammed the coffee cup heavily on the table.
He continued, “Also, cancel Olivia’s annual dividend.”
“Grandpa!” Olivia was just about to heave a sigh of relief when she knew that she would only be grounded, but she could not help but plead when she knew that her annual dividend was canceled.
Without the annual dividend, she only had 20 thousand dollars of monthly pocket money.
For ordinary people, this could be considered a large amount of money, but for socialites who often needed to go to social places, the money was too little.
This meant that Olivia could no longer buy those luxury goods and dresses, Imagine it! She would appear at the dinner parties in out -of-season dresses.
Olivia could not imagine what the others would say about her behind her back.
“Shit! What else does Jessica want? She’s just a young girl. Do I need to give up on the reputation of the whole family only to apologize to her?” Justin slammed the table in anger and Olivia trembled in fear.
“What if she stands for the entire Hall family?” Lucas’ words made Justin speechless.
Only then did Justin realize that Jessica was no longer the same as before. She was no longer Mrs. Thomas that they could bully, but the daughter of the richest man in New York.
The Thomas family might be able to contend against the Hall family, but the result would definitely be both sides suffering,
Thinking of this, Justin suddenly felt very tired. He leaned back in his chair and said in a weak voice, “Then what do you think we should do?”
“Send the clarification in the name of the Thomas family.” Lucas’ eyes darkened.
“No, I won’t allow it. That is my bottom line.” Justin coughed twice, shook his head, and said, “Alright, all of you can go back to your room. I’ll get this settled.”
He already had a plan in his heart, which could satisfy both Jessica’s request and preserve the reputation of the Thomas family.
Hearing Justin’s words, Olivia prepared to go upstairs to her room, dejected.
Lucas, however, grabbed her arm.
Olivia looked up at Lucas’ increasingly cold golden eyes. She suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear.
“Lucas, I really have already apologized to Jessica.” Olivia cried.
“Olivia, do you think being grounded is a big enough punishment for what you have done?” Lucas looked at Olivia with anger in his deep eyes, his voice devoid of any warmth.
“Do you know how much money the Thomas Group will lose after the clarification announcement?”
Olivia felt an invisible yet powerful pressure pressing down on her
