THE REJECTED SON-IN-LAW'S REVENGE

Second chance

Chapter four

The manager was furious and tried to stop him, but his entire bank details had popped up on the screen of the computer and as the manager glanced at it, his eyes went wild. 

“My God!! What the hell is this, I have never seen such a huge amount of money before, there are so many zeros that we can't even count it”.

He exclaimed and as he drifted his gaze back to Lucas, he immediately went on his knees. 

“Please, Sir! Have mercy, I sincerely apologize, I mistook you for a worthless human, please pardon me” He kept bowing his head as he apologized. 

Lucas was stunned for this was a man old enough to be his father his head bowing at him on the floor. 

“It is alright sir, please get up”

“Please sir, you are our number one customer and I assure you that we will never treat you with such disrespect again, I assure you ”

“I know that you won't, so please get on your feet. ”. A reassuring smile filled Lucas's face as he watched the old man return to his seat and did not dare look at him with a disdainful expression again. 

There was so much excitement that filled Lucas's heart and all he felt like doing at that moment was scream at the top of his voice and let the whole world know that he was now a trillionaire and was ready to put all those that hurt him in their place, but he was educated and knew what better way to act than gloat over his wealth. 

“So Mr Cooper, welcome to Chicago Wells Bank, your name has been identified as the top VIP of our bank and we promise to provide you with nothing but the best services”.

“Thank you, Sir, I am glad to hear this”

“Is there something that you will need me to do for you?”

“Yes! First I am going to need the limitless black card”.

“Yes Mr. Cooper, the highest blank card of our bank is the titanium black card and I will process it as soon as possible, please just be patient with me for a few more minutes”.

Lucas nodded in affirmation as he watched the manager scurry over to his fridge and strode back with a bottle of red wine and a neat glass. 

“Here is some refreshment while I process your card, if this wine is not to your taste then please inform and I will provide something more suitable for your class and status”.

“This will be fine, just go ahead and process the black card”. The manager smiled politely and scurried back to his swivel chair while he kept clicking through the keyboard of his computer. 

Lucas was slowly sipping through the glass of wine, he was exhausted and hungry considering that he hadn't had anything to eat or drink since yesterday because he was trying to save up for Lydia's birthday which didn't go well. 

Once the manager was through with all the processes, he handed the black titanium card to him in an envelope. 

“Thank you, Sir, once again I apologize for the way I treated you”. The manager kept apologizing as he opened the door for him. 

Everyone in the banking hall who watched the door open from the balcony could not wait to crack up and mock him over his illusion transaction, but as they watched the manager apologizing and bowing before him, their jaws dropped in bewilderment. 

“Could it be that he indeed has such a huge amount of money in his account?” one of the customers asked the staff that was tending to him. 

“It will seem so, because that is the only reason why the manager will bow to him” The female staff spoke, her eyes never drifting away from Lucas as she watched the manager serve him politely. 

Striding out of the bank, he was thinking of giving Lydia a second chance and having a rethink of her action. He knew that he finally had a chance to get Lydia back and there was no way that she wouldn't accept him if he showed him he had money.  A lot of thoughts came into his mind, thinking maybe he should get himself Royce and an expensive thing to win Lydia, but said to himself that that was not a wise decision because she would come for money not him. Let me suffer a little humiliation from her for the last time and see how it feels if someone is rich and humiliated. 

 So he took the bus and hurried to her workplace which was a movie set location. 

Despite all Jared has been promising her, she hasn't been able to act the lead role but was hoping that in the upcoming movie, Jared would finally give her the role. 

She sat under the sun holding a mini fan while her assistant was standing beside her holding an umbrella that prevented her from getting her soft and silk skin penetrated by the sun. 

Other actresses were sitting beside her, and suddenly she could hear a mocking laugh around there Lucas walked up to her dressed in the same old, torn and dirty clothes he had been wearing yesterday and she immediately felt like the ground should open and swallow her. 

“Lydia! It Lucas, what are you going to do?” Sheila her best friend who was sitting close to her inquired. 

“What else can I do rather than ignore him and pretend like he does not exist.” She replied and had her face in the other direction, but Lucas walked up close to her and stood right in front of her there was no way she could ignore him much longer. 

“Lucas! Hi” Sheila greeted politely but Lydia rolled her eyes at her. “Are you this dumb or stupid, why would you even speak to a low life like him, this is perhaps the reason you haven't been able to act a tangible role since you started your career as an actress”

The words hit Shiela hard, but she still managed to maintain a pretty smile. Although she was not as pretty as Lydia, she had a smooth and fair face, her round shape complimented those deep hazel eyes and that pointed nose… 

She was not as slender as Lydia, but she still strives towards it each day by going on a diet consistently while her long and thick black hair stumbles around her shoulder giving her a fairytale countenance. 

“Lydia please can I speak to you for a moment?” He asked and Lydia took a peek at her surroundings as she bit her lips hard feeling furious at the mocking gaze around her, while some stared down at her with the belittled gaze.
