Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82
Early in the morning, Justin was sitting in the hall with a cold face. Olivia and the others went downstairs and saw Justin like that. All of them were startled.
Lucas drank a lot of wine last night and had a fight with Terry. When he received a call from the Thomas villa, he was still asleep.
The butler said on the other end that Justin asked Lucas to return to the villa right away.
Lucas sat up. “I see.”
Just as Lucas spoke, the pain in the corner of his mouth reminded him of last night.
Lucas turned on his phone. Both Luna and Trissy sent him a message. It was half an hour ago.
Lucas realized that something went wrong. He logged in to Twitter, and someone posted a video about Jessica last night.
How dared anyone do that?
Lucas called Vincent while packing up. Just as Vincent was about to call Lucas to tell him about the trending topic, he received a call from Lucas.
It seemed that Lucas already knew about that.
Vincent answered the call carefully. “Mr. Thomas?”
“Remove the video now! Find out which media posted it!”
Lucas wanted to settle the scores one by one!
Vincent answered. “Okay, I’ll do it right away, Mr. Thomas.”
Lucas then hung up the phone directly with a stern face.
Lucas looked at himself in the mirror. His left cheek swelled up.
Terry really used all his strength to beat Lucas last night.
Lucas touched his wound and expressionlessly washed up. He changed his clothes and drove back to the Thomas’ villa.
The butler was already waiting for Lucas at the door, and when he saw Lucas’ car, he hurriedly opened the door.
Lucas came out of the car and the butler was slightly dumbfounded when he saw the wound on his face.
Before the butler could react, Lucas had already entered the villa.
When Lucas appeared, Justin was in a rage. Olivia kept speaking ill of Jessica, which made Justin even more irritated
Justin never liked Jessica. It took Justin quite some time to calm down.
When Justin was just about to ask what was going on with Luna, Olivia suddenly interrupted, “Grandpa, is Jessica deliberately pestering our family? Is she trying to make things difficult for our family now, taking advantage of her identity as the daughter of the richest man in New York?”
Before Olivia said that, Justin had been angry, but not yet furious,
Yet what Olivia said hit Justin’s sore point.
Not long ago, Morgan came over with a box of gold and said that it was Jessica’s living expenses for three years. By that, Morgan implied he blamed the Thomas family for not treating Jessica well, Morgan used the gold to cut ties off with the Thomas family and tease them as well. :

Justin cherished his reputation a lot. After the news that Jessica was Morgan’s daughter spread, many people in upper-class society laughed at the Thomas family for being blind.
The Thomas family enjoyed a respectable reputation in the past.
However, ever since Jessica and Lucas divorced, the Thomas family lost its face again and again.
In Justin’s opinion, if not for Jessica, the Thomas family would never have been mocked. Justin had been holding the prejudice against Jessica for quite some time, and Olivia’s words brought that up at once.
Rebecca nudged Olivia, blaming her for saying the wrong thing.
Olivia stuck out her tongue, yet deep down she felt awesome.
Then, Lucas suddenly came out and said, “Grandpa.”
Seeing Lucas, the Thomas family all froze.
Justin was dumbfounded, too. “What happened to your face? Who beat you? Did Jessica have someone beat you?”
Justin believed that Jessica was the only one who was bold enough to go against the Thomas family.
Jessica was deliberately making the Thomas family suffer!
Lucas did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, “Have you had breakfast?”
“Breakfast? What breakfast? I’m so angry that I don’t have any appetite! Have you checked the online comments yet? What nonsense is Jessica talking about! And Luna, isn’t she lying in a hospital bed abroad? Why is she back?”
Justin did not like Jessica or Luna.
The Cheek family was not qualified to match the Thomas family. The shell company they owned could stand out in the crowd, yet still not good enough for the Thomas family.
