Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46
Lucas glanced at Jessica, who was standing by Mrs. Hall’e gide nonchalantly,
Hearing Morgan’s words, Rebecca said quickly, “Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, let’s talk about it inside.”
Olivia could not help but call out, “Mom!”
The Hall family was menacing, and it was obvious that they were here to settle old scores.
Olivia glanced at Jessica, but unexpectedly, she met her gaze, which made Olivia stiffen and feel guilty
What the hell How could she feel guilty while looking at Jessica?
Rebecca stared at Olivia and shook her head, suggesting that she shut up.
Rebecca was so smart a woman that she couldn’t fail to see that Jessica’s parents came in a fit of anger.
They entered her house, Rebecca asked a servant to prepare coffee, and Morgan immediately rejected. “We don’t need coffee, Mrs. Thomas. We came here today for our daughter. Formalities are unnecessary. After all, even if we are not enemies, we are by no means friends later.”
Morgan’s words sounded serious. The two families were both influential. The Thomas family was the head of the four big families in LA. And the Hall family was the richest in New York. But, in comparison, the Hall family was a little bit better
As a rich and idle lady, Olivia had heard of the richest man in New York, but she hadn’t seen him personally.
In Olivia’s opinion, Morgan’s words were funny.
Just as she was about to laugh out loud, Olivia noticed Lucas’ gaze. When she turned to look at her brother, the smile on her face froze.
Rebecca forced a smile and said, “Alright. Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, and Jessica, please wait a moment. I’ll call Justin downstairs.”
Rebecca glanced at Lucas and said, “Lucas, take care of them.”
Lucas nodded.
After Rebecca left, he didn’t do anything.
Jessica had thought that she would feel bad when she came here after half a year.
But now, looking at the seemingly familiar scene, she was calm. Even when Lucas looked at her, she was peaceful.
Noticing his gaze, Jessica raised her eyes and glanced at Lucas.
As nobody spoke, the atmosphere in the living room was very strange.
Soon, they heard the sound of a walking stick coming from upstairs. In just a few seconds, Justin came down.
Justin was also very surprised when he heard that Jessica’s parents had come. Besides being surprised, he was also a bit angry
He wanted to see what type of wicked parents could teach a daughter like Jessica!
However, Rebecca’s words stunned Justin the next moment. He took a long time to react and followed Rebecca downstairs.
Twenty years ago, Morgan and Justin had met a couple of times. Though they didn’t have a deep friendship, they could recognize each other when they met,
batin hed thought that Jessica hired someone to play her father, but he never thought that Jessica was Morgan’s daughter
Justin’s heart was in turmoil, but as a sophisticated man, no emotions could be seen on his face, “Mr. Hall. Mrs. Hall, glad to see you. We haven’t seen each other for so long.”
Justin smiled, but Morgan didn’t. “Hello, Mr. Thomas.”
Justin seemed to be unaware of Morgan’s attitude. He lifted his crutch and hit Lucas gently. “Lucas, what are you waiting for? This is your ex–parents-in-law. Hurry up and get them a cup of coffee.”
“Mr. Thomas, we don’t deserve such treatment. I came here today only to ask you something about my daughter. We don’t need coffee, and we can afford it ourselves. I’m sorry to disturb you, but I hope you can understand that I love my daughter, so I’ll get straight to the point and won’t beat around the bush.”
Morgan raised his hand and placed the 19-inch suitcase in his hand on the table. “This box of gold is worth at least two million dollars. It is enough to cover all of Jessica’s expenses in your family for three years.”
After Morgan finished speaking, he opened the suitcase and half of a suitcase of shiny gold bars inside were revealed.
