Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203
Lucas left. Having heard the door closing, Trissy collapsed on the sofa, as if she was just a lifeless doll.
Trissy let out a long breath. She then looked up, only to see Luna staring at the closed door where she stood.
“Luna?” Trissy called out to her.
“Why did you give him the phone just now? Why?” Luna suddenly turned her head around and looked at Trissy fiercely, gnashing her teeth.
“Didn’t you see that Lucas was already angry?” Trissy frowned as saw Luna blown up.
“WHY? WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM THE DAMN PHONE?” Luna turned a deaf ear to Trissy’s words and looked at Trissy as if Trissy was her enemy. “If only … If only I have tried one more time… He would have agreed to marry me!”
“What is wrong with you?” Trissy was a little impatient. “What’s wrong with me giving him the phone? I didn’t give it to him for free. I exchanged the phone for 300 million dollars. What else do you want?
“What? 300 million dollars and you are satisfied? If I marry Lucas…”
“Luna!” Trissy interrupted Luna for the first time. “Didn’t you hear what he had just said? If I hadn’t given him the phone, not only we but also Dad and Mom would suffer.”
Luna made no reply. But her heavy breath manifested her anger.
Trissy didn’t want to provoke her sister, either. So she softened her tone and said, “Luna, calm down. Think about it. Do you really think you can threaten someone like Lucas?”
“Talk to yourself! You are jealous of me! You don’t want me to marry Lucas. You don’t want me to be Mrs. Thomas at all.” Luna vented all her anger on Trissy.
“If you are indeed as competent as you claim to be, why don’t you tell Lucas not to drive us out?” Trissy couldn’t stand Luna’s accusation anymore. She then blamed Luna. “Look at yourself now. You look like anything but a socialite from the upper-class society. How could Lucas even possibly marry you?”
“Shut up! Shut up!”
Trissy hit Luna’s sore point. Luna exploded.
Luna pushed Trissy away, moved to the dining table, and smashed all the tableware into pieces.
Fragments of plates and coffee mugs were scattered on the floor, She then moved to the TV stand and broke the vases there.
The sound of glass shattering and the flying fragments startled Trissy.
“You’ve lost your mind!” Trissy cursed, then she quickly got up and locked the door of her bedroom.
Lucas had no idea how intense the fight between the Cheek sisters was after he left.
Having clocked off, Lucas called Vincent while driving. Lucas asked him to help deal with the rumors about Jessica online.
Vincent knew about Lucas’ subtle attitude toward Jessica, so he had been paying attention to the updates online.
After receiving the call from Lucas, Vincent immediately went to handle them.
“Mr. Thomas, there’s one more thing I suppose you should know. I noticed that many different companies have been involved in dealing with Miss Hall’s rumors online since yesterday.”
“I see.” Lucas pondered for a moment and replied.
This time, most of the people involved were Jessica’s friends and pursuers. Everyone had a good family background, so it was naturally impossible to let the rumors spread online for good.
“Vincent, are you done preparing for dispatching Olivia to Paris?” Lucas suddenly asked.
“I’m still on it, Mr. Thomas.” Vincent paused for a bit and then checked the process on his laptop. “Miss Thomas’ residence in Paris has been settled, and the admission procedures are also in progress. Currently, we are secretly testing the bodyguards to protect Miss Thomas and the staff within the Paris branch as Miss Thomas instructors.”
“Speed up,” said Lucas. “I hope we can send Olivia to Paris this weekend.”
This weekend?
Vincent was slightly surprised, but he still replied, “I will see to it, Mr. Thomas.”
Lucas hung up the call and drove into Thomas villa.
It was already evening, and the lamps in the garden had been lit up.
Lucas entered the hall and found that the entire villa was much quieter than usual.
He looked sideways and saw a servant wiping the table, so he coughed lightly and asked.
“Has Grandpa had dinner?”
“Good evening, Mr. Lucas. Mr. Thomas had left in the afternoon,” The servant replied respectfully.
“Left? Where did he go?” Lucas frowned.
“Mr. Dantes told me that he is going to New York with Mr. Thomas, and they are visiting Mr. Hall there.”
