CHAPTER 63
The young lady, on the other hand, wore a smug smile as she confidently folded her arms across her chest. Every now and then, she glanced toward the road as though expecting her father's convoy to appear at any moment.Just then, a middle-aged woman slowly stepped out from the crowd.She looked to be in her late fifties, and the concern written across her face was unmistakable. After looking at Lucas for several moments, she sighed deeply before walking directly toward him."My son," the woman called gently, her voice filled with genuine concern.Lucas turned his head toward her."Yes, ma'am?" he replied politely.The woman came to a stop only a few feet away from him before shaking her head sorrowfully."My son," she said again, "please listen to me."Lucas smiled faintly and said."I'm listening."The woman glanced nervously at the young lady before lowering her voice."If kneeling before this young lady will settle this matter," she pleaded earnestly, "then please do it."Lucas loo
CHAPTER 62
Lucas immediately raised both hands slightly in a peaceful gesture as he looked at the young lady with an apologetic expression."I'm truly sorry," Lucas said sincerely. "I honestly didn't mean for this to happen."His voice was calm and respectful, carrying genuine remorse rather than irritation.However, the young lady was in no mood to listen.She looked down at the shattered pieces of her expensive phone lying on the floor before slowly lifting her furious gaze toward Lucas again.Her beautiful face had completely hardened."No," she said coldly, shaking her head without the slightest hesitation. "I will not accept that apology."Lucas sighed quietly.He could already tell that apologizing alone was not going to calm her down."What would you like me to do?" Lucas asked patiently. "I never intended to damage your phone."The young lady folded both arms tightly across her chest before taking a step closer to him."You are going to pay for what you just did," she declared firmly.Lu
CHAPTER 61
It was finally evening.Lucas quietly in front of the full-length mirror, He had already changed into one of the premium suits that had been prepared for him earlier that afternoon. He stared at his reflection for several long seconds.Even he found it difficult to recognize himself."It really is strange..." he murmured softly.His fingers unconsciously brushed over the lapel of his suit."Just a few days ago, I was wearing prison clothes... and now..."His voice trailed off.Life had changed so quickly that it almost felt unreal.He slowly reached toward the bedside table, where the elegant black cryptocurrency card rested inside a small velvet case.Lucas carefully picked it up, he opened his suit jacket before carefully sliding the card into the inner pocket.After confirming it was secure, he buttoned his jacket and took one last look at himself in the mirror."Time to go."He grabbed his phone and walked toward the door.The moment he stepped outside his mansion, a taxi was al
CHAPTER 60
Lucas slowly opened his eyes.For a few moments, he remained lying on the bed, staring quietly at the beautifully decorated ceiling above him. He slowly pushed himself into a sitting position and leaned comfortably against the padded headboard.A faint smile gradually appeared on his face.His thoughts drifted back to everything that had happened the previous day.He remembered the look of complete disbelief on Maya's parents' faces when he chased them out of his house under the rain.And how he defeated Jake with his eyes covered, the skill he had learnt from prison.Lucas quietly chuckled to himself."I warned him," Lucas murmured softly with an amused shake of his head. "I honestly warned him not to attack me."His smile widened slightly as another memory surfaced.He could still picture Jake wildly throwing punch after punch while he effortlessly avoided every single attack without even lifting his hands from behind his back.Then he remembered the final kick.Jake flying backward.
CHAPTER 59
Unable to control her emotions, she slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand."I don't understand any of this," Maya whispered helplessly. "None of it makes any sense."She leaned back against the chair and stared blankly at the bright white ceiling above her.Her mind replayed everything that had happened since morning.Only a few hours earlier, Jake had looked like a man who had the entire world under his control.Now, however, everything had changed so suddenly that it almost felt unreal.The luxurious mansion was gone.Lucas had legally reclaimed the old house and thrown them out without hesitation.Jake had been beaten unconscious in front of everyone.And now they were sitting helplessly inside a hospital, completely uncertain about what tomorrow would bring.Maya slowly released another exhausted sigh."This can't be real," she whispered softly to herself. "It feels like some terrible nightmare."Throughout all of this, Maya's mother had remained unusually quiet.She had
CHAPTER 58
The heavy rain continued to fall as Maya's father drove through the nearly empty streets at a speed he would normally never have attempted. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his eyes remained fixed on the road ahead. Every now and then, he glanced anxiously at the rearview mirror, where Jake lay across the back seat with Maya supporting him.Jake had finally regained consciousness during the drive, but the color had not returned to his face. His breathing remained labored, and every movement seemed to require tremendous effort. The powerful kick Lucas had landed on his chest had left him in terrible pain, and he could barely sit upright without wincing.Maya wrapped one arm around him to stop him from falling over whenever the car turned."Jake," she called softly, looking at him with worry written all over her face. "Please stay awake. We are almost at the hospital."Jake forced his heavy eyelids open and managed a weak nod."I... I'm awake," he replied in a hoarse v
