TYCOON SYSTEM: THE INCREDIBLE BILLIONAIRE

Who said you can leave?

Lucas was stunned by this but slowly, his expression was replaced with a frown as he saw two burly men dragging his wife out of the house to the entrance. Even as she kept pleading no one took pity on her. 

A pang of pain surged inside his body while his fist clenched tightly. Quickly rushed at the men to save his wife.

“How dare you put your hands on my wife?” Lucas roared as he rushed at them.

“Who’s that punk? Ooh, he is her loser husband. If that’s the case, then take this.” The two men smirked, as they watched him coming and suddenly they tossed his wife like a bag of luggage at him.

“How dare you!” Lucas's eyes widened as he saw this and quickly widened his arms to grab her else she would have fallen to the floor and got injured.

“Hubby!” Freya called out with tears in her eyes as he caught her in his arms. There were still some bruises on her skin due to how roughly the men held her and didn’t even care whether she would be injured or not.

Lucas's aura emerged and a deadly glint appeared in his eyes.

“You! Bastard man! You caused this! Just look, we are being kicked out of the house all because of you!” Dianna was also dragged out of the house and the first person she faced was him as all the money that could have been used to pay for the rent was used to bail him out days ago.

Hearing this, Lucas froze in shock. How was he affiliated with this? He thought deeply, and then it dawned on him that he was locked up days ago and his wife came to bail him with the sum of two hundred thousand dollars which should have been used to pay the rent.

His wife could sacrifice this much for him? The more he thought about what she had sacrificed for him, the more he felt he didn’t deserve someone as kind and good as her. If not for her, who knows where he would have been now?

“Uhm! Don’t worry, I am not done with you all.” Just then, a woman looking to be in her late fifties, having a few gray hairs, and wearing a baggy gown walked out of the house. Then flicked the key that was in her palm before locking the house.

“You all are in a deep mess. You owe me two years rent, so I’m letting you take just your bags so you can fuck off. When you bring the money you owe me, I’ll let you have your things.” The landlady who went by the name Caroline, spoke.

“Madam, you don’t have to do this to us. If you want to chase someone, chase him!” Dianna jumped and quickly pointed at Lucas. “Ask your men to seize him. You should make him your slave. After all, my stupid daughter used the money to bail him!” She added with disdain in her eyes.

“Mom! Why will you say that!” Freya retorted back feeling displeased by what she said.

Frowning, Dianna snorted. “Shut up you foolish daughter. If you had agreed to meet Richard then your life would have been better. We won’t have to face such a humiliation but what did you do? You prefer to be with this loser who has nothing to offer but poverty to us. He is nothing but a curse!” 

Her words were like daggers pointed at Lucas's heart, but he couldn’t bother about her for now. What he was more concerned about was the men who hurt his wife. He was going to make them pay.

“Caroline, you have no right to throw our things out without legal right. Do you know we can sue you for this?” Lucas finally spoke, but his words felt like the funniest joke everyone had heard.

“And so? Tell me, do you even have money to sue me? Someone like you who can't even make a proper living, yet you are talking about legal rights? Huh? Such a joke.” Caroline busted into a chuckle. She laughed so hard that her chest started hurting.

“Fool! Instead of you going down on your knees and begging you are making a fuss here. Are you not a useless moron?” Dianna raised a brow at him as she snorted.

Ignoring her, Lucas looked at Caroline again. “You think I can’t sue you, huh? And who said I need money for that, huh? Why don’t you wait until I call the cops on you? I’ll see who will keep being smug.” Lucas said with a serious expression that made shivers run down her spine.

Indeed, if she was reported to the police, she would be arrested for trespassing and illegally damaging their goods. The fine she would pay would be quite higher than the rent she was supposed to collect. Thinking about this, sweat began to pour down her face.

Indeed, Lucas was a smart person. If it were someone else, they would be so confused and would have left the house by now, but Lucas looked so composed and was able to turn the tables around. Now she was the one who looked pressured.

Even Dianna and Freya who heard what he said were delighted as they saw Caroline was now hesitating and looking scared. Earlier, they were so scared to realize such a thing was possible but as Lucas said it, their eyes became open to reality.

“Yes! Caroline, you won’t escape! I’ll tell the police that you took some of my jewelry in the process and guess what? They are worth five hundred thousand dollars!” Dianna chimed in with a sinister smile on her face.

What she said was worse and if she said so to the authorities, then they might believe her. Now Caroline was the one at a disadvantage.

“Hmp! I will let you off for now.” She tossed the key off at Caroline with a gloomy expression on her face. “If you don’t pay up, sooner I’ll be back.” She snorted again.

It was better to retreat now and come back with full force. If she did, then she was going to follow the right procedures and deal with them properly. That time they wouldn’t be able to save themselves from the embarrassments at all.

Hearing this, Dianna and Freya were so overjoyed that they rushed towards the house to open it back, but it was different for Lucas.

Just as Caroline and the two burly men she came with wanted to leave, he spoke.

“And who said you can leave?” His words were like a thunderbolt in their ears.
