Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)
Chapter 204
Chapter 204
Lucas then motioned the servant to leave.
Standing in the garden, Lucas lit a cigarette. He knew why Justin headed to New York this time. He didn’t like the way Justin interfered, but he could do nothing about it.
But Justin’s absence made what Lucas was about to do next a lot easier.
Lucas walked into the villa again. The butler had got the message and came to the entrance to greet Lucas.
“Mr. Thomas.” The butler bowed to Lucas and said.
“Did you start helping Olivia pack up?” Lucas glanced at the butler and asked.
The butler looked at Lucas awkwardly. Indeed, he was told to pack Olivia’s luggage, but Olivia just wouldn’t let him.
“Get her down.” Lucas did not ask further. He went to the sofa and sat down.
“Yes, Mr. Thomas.” The butler turned and walked up the stairs.
Olivia held Rebecca’s arm, and the two of them were walking toward the sofa. Olivia tossed a glance at Lucas, looking scared.
“Lucas, will you be staying here tonight?” Rebecca knew that Lucas usually lived in his own apartment, but since Justin wasn’t home today, she still hoped that her son could stay.
Lucas stood up and replied, “I have to handle something here. I’ll leave when I’m done.”
Olivia felt that Lucas seemed to be looking at her. She shook Rebecca’s arm, so Rebecca continued, “The butler said that you were looking for Olivia. It’s late now. What do you want to see her for?”
“I’m going to send Olivia to Paris this weekend. I’ll get the butler to help her pack up,” Lucas said flatly.
Olivia’s face turned grim. She gripped Rebecca’s sleeve tightly and said in a low voice, “Mommy, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go to Paris.”
Rebecca turned to look at Olivia, whose eyes were already full of tears. She then looked at Lucas and said in a pleading tone, “Olivia made a mistake. You can just punish her. How can you let a girl like her go to Paris alone? It’s far from home.”
“Don’t worry. She won’t be alone in Paris. There will be people taking care of her in Paris, and she will work in the Paris branch of the Thomas Group.”
Lucas then turned to Olivia. “I heard that you haven’t started packing yet. If you don’t need to bring anything, you can just board the plane barehanded this weekend.”
“Lucas, I don’t want to go to Paris!” Olivia said, sobbing.
“I’m not discussing with you,” Lucas said coldly.
“Why?” Olivia cried, “Why do you have to chase me away? You don’t even want your sister just because of Jessica, an outsider?
“Luna likes you so much. Why does it have to be Jessica? Doesn’t it bother you that Jessica may be having a relationship with Terry?” Olivia looked at Lucas with red eyes.
“Lucas, perhaps you would like to sleep on it?”
Rebecca wasn’t able to teach her own daughter, but Olivia was, after all, the only one in the Thomas family Rebecca could talk to. Rebecca didn’t want Olivia to leave.
