TYCOON SYSTEM: THE INCREDIBLE BILLIONAIRE

A way to make them pay

Lucas's heart swore with pain as he stood speechless outside the house, watching his suffer in vain.

His mind tortured him endless emotions and it was clear to him now that the people he was messing with were not ordinary men.

If they could go this far, then they'll do anything. However, he was not a man that easily backed down or accepted defeat.

The blaring sound of the ambulance filled the air as he stood in the midst of the chaos, tears escaped his eyelids. He couldn't help but cry. He had been ruined entirely.

This was no joke… after having high hopes of success, now everything, in just a twinkling of an eyes is gone, like poof…

His legs dropped to the ground as he covered his face in shame. After the forensics had checked the house, they said it was a gas leakage. Lucas was not a fool to believe that shit!

They covered it up with gas leakage.

After a futile search round the house in search of any evidence left, he found something. It was warning on the wall, written in blood.

“BACK OFF! THIS IS JUST A WARNING!!”

His legs jammed into the wall and pushed the remaining pieces of that still stood to the ground. His mind was shattered to pieces.

With a gloomy face and a broken heart, he staggered back to his car. His engine hummed softly. It felt it had suddenly grown cold in pain too as it silently moved away from the house.

The door creaked open. He was lucky Freya had already gone to bed and wouldn't be asking him questions tonight.

He slumped into his bed with reddened eyes. His muffled cries could be heard just beneath the pillow.

Now, the evidence was lost and appearing in the court meant nothing. Going there would make him look like a clown before Tyler's lawyers who would have prepared thousands of evidences to prove whatever thing he still has left to argue about. The footage was also lost too.

If only he had known, he would have posted it on a blog and spread it all over the internet. Now he has nothing left to hold on to.

His phone chimed with a message.

The name was clearly written there–Tyler Smith.

“Make sure you appear in court tomorrow…”

‘How did he get my number?’ He thought.

He phoned his lawyer and explained the state of things and the lawyer warned that they had to carry on. Backing out was already too late, considering the fact that they had arrested Tyler and questioned him…

The reality of the fact that he had lost and failed woefully hit him so hard, far worse than a physical blow he had ever received his whole life.

Sleep eluded him and he counted the stars all night till morning.

After dressing up, he still couldn't tell Freya she was going to waste her time at the court today.

“All set right?” She smiled.

He nodded, as he couldn't find the right words to reply with.

The court was bustling with activities and in a split second, their case had come and gone.

After Freya's revelation, the court shook in shock as they couldn't believe Tyler, the heir to the billionaire family of the Smith's could do that.

Thereafter, his team of lawyers began with questions that they couldn't provide answers to.

Freya was shivering in the stand as shame filled her. The plan was they sue him for her rape and then, Lucas revealed other shady things his family had been doing secretly and also the extracted footage they got from that night. But to her disappointment, Lucas said he had nothing before the court.

It pained her that he couldn't even tell her at home so she wouldn't have bothered coming here in the first place.

Tyler's lawyers were not also taking it easy on them. Threatening to sue them for defamation of character and slander…

Freya's cold eyes shone brightly at him, as if she could devour him right away.

Lucas was torn between decision and parralled emotions.

Let it slide or press for justice?

The annoying part was what justice was he pressing for when he had no evidence. The doctor's report they presented to the court was termed fake and falsified by Tyler's lawyers who made sure they ruined any chances of even surviving this case for them right there in court.

Lucas and his lawyer were speechless. Freya was at the verge of crying. The whole environment was riled up. The sound of the pounding hearts consumed the air as they couldn't even think straight anymore.

Tyler's lawyers were firing evidences at them back to back but they had none of their own to show.

They had successfully made the court believe that Tyler was involved in an accident, the night they accused him of rape and it was also confirmed that an accident by a BMW took place that same night on the 5th Street, just around the area his father's gala was taking place.

It was such a cleanly executed plan and their opponents were left chasing shadows.

From the look of things, there was literally nothing left fighting for. They had already lost. Now they had plead the matter be settled out of court because Tyler's lawyers were firing for slander and libel.

It seemed as if the judge understood the power imbalance in the room and ruled the case was dismissed due to lack of substantial evidence.

For the very first time in Lucas's life, he has to back down. This game of power was not for the weak, and he had just learned a brutal lesson.

“I warned you…” Freya's voice echoed in his ears as her heels clicked speedily away from the courtroom, her face covered in shame.

Lucas and his lawyer also exited room after everything was settled. Freya was already in the car, covered in sobs.

The urge to deal with Tyler right in front of everyone burned in his veins, he just had to fight it back in.

He has backed down, he swore it wasn't over yet.

“You'll pay, just not like this…”
