Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 190

"Dylan and I both worked in a hospital as night shift caregivers…"

My brows involuntarily rode up my hairline. It was really difficult to picture either of them as a caregiver.

Lucas was admitted to the hospital where Dylan and Luigi worked.

Lucas' wealth was known to everyone in the hospital. And this coupled with the fact that he was young caught their attention.

They deliberately got closer to Lucas intending to swindle him of some money. Lucas, who had been sick and lonely since childhood quickly bonded with Dylan and Luigi who were also around his age. So it was easy for them to get to know things about him.

But then, Lucas was smart and very intuitive. Maybe he had just overlooked it because he was desperate for company, even though he never showed it, he always yearned to have someone to talk to.

"At first, we didn't have any plan." Luigi went on, still refusing to look me in the eyes, "we just went with the flow, hoping an opportunity will present itself.

He had recognized the family ring on Lucas' finger and it belonged to the Esposito's family here in Naples. So he made it seem like he was suggesting," Luigi threw an unguarded glare at Dylan and he chuckled. "That I had a say. He said he would take on Lucas' identity so that we could attain a lot of wealth to set ourselves up for life. As Lucas illness was fatal and his death was inevitable anyway. The-"

Dylan suddenly interrupted Luigi with an irritating laugh, "You remember what I said at that part?" He asked amidst laughter. "I said what use was wealth when it belonged to the dead," he finished and laughed even harder.

Luigi and I just stared blankly at him and wondered how I had not seen him for the maniac that he was.
