CHAPTER 116
Mrs. Blackwood looked from Maya to Jake before asking another question."So, where is the replacement car?" She asked in confusion.Jake immediately stiffened.For a moment, he was unable to respond. He had expected the conversation to end after explaining why he sold his previous vehicle, but Mrs. Blackwood's question caught him off guard.He swallowed and briefly glanced at Maya.She was already looking at him, seemingly expecting him to provide an explanation."Well..." Jake began, trying to sound composed.Maya folded her arms."Yes, Jake. Where is the new car?" she asked. "We just walked a considerable distance to get here. You should explain what happened."Jake shot her a brief look.He had hoped she would help him avoid further questions, but she seemed determined to let him handle the situation himself."I haven't found the particular model I want yet, ma'am," he said as he turned back toward Mrs. Blackwood."You haven't found it?" Mrs. Blackwood raised an eyebrow."Yes, ma'a
CHAPTER 115
Jake and Maya finally arrived at Jake's house after their long walk.By the time they reached the house, both of them were visibly exhausted.Their clothes were still stained with muddy water from the encounter with Lucas, and neither seemed particularly eager to continue walking.Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood were relaxing on the porch when they noticed the two approaching.They immediately stood up."Jake? Maya?" Mr. Blackwood called, looking beyond them as though expecting to see a vehicle parked nearby. "Where is your car? Did something happen to it?"Mrs. Blackwood also looked surprised."Why are you both walking home at this hour?" she asked. "What happened? And why do you look so exhausted?"Maya opened her mouth to answer."Actually, Dad, Jake sold his..." Before she could finish, Jake quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her slightly closer."Don't tell them," he whispered urgently.Maya turned toward him, confused."What?" she whispered back."Please, don't tell them I sold the car,"
CHAPTER 114
Maya turned again and continued staring in the direction the Rolls-Royce had disappeared, still struggling to believe what she had just witnessed.Jake was equally shocked, but he quickly composed himself.He could not afford to let Maya start questioning everything about him, especially after the embarrassing incident at the dealership."Don't tell me you're actually thinking Lucas bought that car," Jake suddenly said."What do you mean?" Maya turned toward him."Come on, Maya. Do you honestly believe someone like Lucas could afford a thirty-million-dollar Rolls-Royce?" Jake scoffed."But he was the one driving it," Maya said."So?" Jake replied dismissively. "That doesn't mean he owns it."He adjusted his clothes, trying to wipe away some of the muddy water."Think about it. Lucas has never been wealthy. When we knew him, he was practically struggling to take care of himself. Do you suddenly expect me to believe he has enough money to purchase a Rolls-Royce?" Lucas asked.Maya remai
CHAPTER 113
Jake and Maya continued walking along the roadside, neither of them saying much.Maya was still thinking about everything that had happened at Max Luxury Cars.She could not understand how Jake had gone from confidently showing off his wealth to struggling to pay for a vehicle and eventually selling his own car.Although Jake had tried to convince her that everything was fine, his behavior had only raised more questions in her mind.Just then, the sound of an approaching engine caught their attention.A luxurious Rolls-Royce was moving toward them. As it drew closer, Maya turned her head to take a better look.Her eyes widened immediately."Wait a minute. Isn't that the Rolls-Royce we saw at Max Luxury Cars?" Maya said, shocked.Jake immediately looked in the direction she was pointing and his expression changed when he recognized the vehicle.It was the exact same Rolls-Royce they had seen earlier at the dealership. Maya watched it with surprise."Who could have bought it so quickly
CHAPTER 112
Jake and Maya had been walking along the road for quite some time since leaving Max Luxury Cars.The evening breeze brushed against them as they continued walking, but Maya was no longer enjoying the walk. Her expression had gradually become irritated, and she kept glancing at Jake, who seemed perfectly comfortable with their situation.She had initially assumed they would order a cab immediately after leaving the dealership. However, Jake had shown no intention of doing so.After walking for several more minutes, Maya finally lost her patience.“Jake, how much longer are we going to walk?” She asked.“What do you mean?” Jake glanced at her.“I mean, we've been walking for quite some time now. Why don't you just order a cab so we can get home?” Maya said, getting so irritated.“Why are you making such a big deal out of this? Can't we just enjoy the exercise and walk home?” Jake frowned slightly.“Exercise?” Maya stopped walking and stared at him.“Yes. What's wrong with that?” Jake
CHAPTER 111
Max led Lucas through the corridor and into his private office.The office was spacious and elegantly furnished, with a large desk positioned near the windows and several luxury car models displayed on shelves. Max walked around his desk and gestured toward one of the comfortable chairs.“Please, Mr. Reed. Have a seat.” Max said as he gestured towards one of the chairs.Lucas nodded and sat down.Max took the seat opposite him, still looking slightly excited about having the opportunity to meet someone as influential as Lucas.“I'm glad you agreed to come into my office,” Max said. “I've actually wanted to meet you for quite some time.”“Really? Why is that?” Lucas raised an eyebrow.“Some time ago, I attended a private business event where you were introduced to the guests. It was a brief introduction, and I didn't get the opportunity to speak with you personally. However, your name and position made a strong impression on me.” Max smiled.Lucas nodded slightly.“That explains how y
