Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85
Lucas felt that what Vincent had got was ridiculous.
Lucas was drugged that night. When his mind was not so clear, he once asked her why she did that.
Lucas remembered that she said she liked him and thus wanted him.
But now the results of the investigation said that the hotel surveillance was broken that night, but some witnesses saw that Jessica was also drugged.

If this was true, then in those three years, why didn’t Jessica explain it to Lucas?
That was so absurd!
Lucas put on a grim face. A storm was coming.
Lucas dialed the intercom, “Come in!”
Lucas then hung up the phone.
Inc.
Vincent held the receiver and he had a throb in his heart.
Vincent knew Lucas was going to be furious!
But Vincent had to face Lucas’ rage. What were secretaries for?
Vincent took a deep breath, then got up and walked to Lucas’ office.
“Mr. Thomas?”
“Are you kidding me with the results of your investigation, Vincent?”
Vincent looked up and saw Lucas sitting on the office chair with a grim face. Lucas was staring at Vincent. Vincent felt like he was being pressed down by something. He could not breathe.
“Mr. Thomas, I have checked the results by myself.”
Vincent did not believe it when he got the results, so he personally went to the hotel to meet the so-called witness of the past.
The witness didn’t lie. He was a waiter and he even remembered Jessica’s outfit at the party.
The waiter said that Jessica was very good-looking, so he took a few more glances at the party.
The person who drugged her was a man, but the waiter did not know who he was. Because he looked unfamiliar. The witness never saw that man again.
And Jessica didn’t drug Lucas. Lucas was dragged by the man who drugged Jessica.
If it was all done by Jessica, she wouldn’t have drugged herself.
After all, Jessica had no friends at the scene. The only person she knew was her higher-up who brought her to the party.
Apart from that, Vincent also mentioned something else, “Mr. Thomas, there is one more thing. The next month after that night, Miss Stone went abroad and did not return.”
Everyone knew that Susie Stone liked Lucas.
In those few years, people in LA all knew that Susie liked Lucas. However, Lucas did not like Susie.
Justin felt that the Stone family was a bit lacking, so he didn’t support Susie.
It was hard to tell how Susie was related to what happened four years ago.
However, Vincent had a good memory. He remembered that not long before that night, Susie once waited for Lucas at the company entrance. Lucas was impatient and directly turned Susie down.
After saying that, Lucas got into the car and left, but Susie shouted from behind, “Lucas, I will definitely get you!”
What Susie said was no biggie, but when it was followed by a series of other things, Vincent couldn’t help but be suspicious of Susie.
But there was no evidence. Thus, Vincent only mentioned that.
Lucas frowned. “What does it have to do with her?”
“Whether or not this matter has anything to do with Miss Stone, we can only know that until we find the person who drugged you back then.”
Vincent paused. “But this probably has nothing to do with Miss Hall.”
“What do you mean by ‘probably?”
Lucas sneered. “On the surface, the evidence proved her innocent. But why are you so sure that she isn’t relevant?”
Vincent could feel Lucas’ formidable air. He lowered his head and didn’t dare to speak.
Lucas glanced at Vincent and said, “Get out!”
“Yes, Mr. Thomas!”
Vincent felt grateful. He hurried to leave.
Lucas was left alone in the office. He sat in his office chair with his head lowered and his eyes gloomy.
Lucas suffered a stomachache in a rage. He suddenly felt that Jessica was so wicked!
Did Jessica do that on purpose?
Jessica didn’t tell Lucas the truth so that she could laugh at him and when he finally found out about it?
Jessica must be on purpose! Just like that bottle of cimetidine. She left it to mock his ignorance.
