Chapter 139 Clarissa Went Silent
“A–Are you for real?!” Luke jumped out of his chair and quickly approached Damien.
“Yes.”
“Do you have the guts to draw up a contract and let me sign it?” Luke was afraid that the house would be nothing but an empty promise.
“There’s no need for that. I’ll have my assistant pass you the keys.” After that, Damien turned around and left the ward to make a phone call.
Luke was stunned to hear those words. ‘I wasn’t able to extort money from him before, so why did he change his mind this time?‘
Soon, Damien re-entered the ward and said, “My assistant will be here shortly with the keys.”
Luke was surprised once again. He had a feeling that this was a dream come true.
On the other hand, Theresa felt deeply anxious. She told Damien, “You don’t have to do this!”
“It’s nothing,” he replied.
Clarissa thought, ‘What on earth is Damien thinking? Is he trying to show Mom he’s a great son-in law?
The cost for a performance like that was too big, wasn’t it? To think that he had bought two
properties in one go…
Based on the real estate prices in Genovia, one property was at least in the millions…
“Please… Please think it through.” Clarissa quickly tugged at Damien’s sleeve.
Luke quickly moved the chair to the spot behind Damien in order to please him. Since he no longer had a chair to sit on, he decided to stand behind Damien instead.
“Let Mom rest.” Damien sat on the chair.
Clarissa knew Luke was waiting for Damien’s assistant. He would only leave once he obtained the keys to the new house.
Then, Theresa started chatting with Clarissa again.
Clarissa felt that her mother was troubled by something. Maybe her mother felt anxious because of Damien’s expensive gift.
A while later, Damien’s assistant dropped by the ward with the keys.
“Mr. Lawrence, here are the keys to the properties in Etheria.”
“Etheria?” That name shocked Luke. “That’s…!”
That was the name of the richest and most famous neighborhood in Genovia.
“Just claim whatever you need from Clarissa. I have nothing under my name, alright?” Luke quickly clarified.
“Just leave!” Damien didn’t want to continue speaking to Luke.
Luke felt the weight of the keys in his hand. “Actually, Mr. Lawrence, I’m a very reasonable person. From now on, I’ll help you instead of Joseph.”
Luke was always one who changed sides quickly.
Clarissa could feel the second-hand embarrassment all the way from here.
Once they were done visiting Theresa, Clarissa and Damien left the hospital.
“D-Do you need me for something?” Clarissa sounded slightly meek. It was clear she was anxious.
She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.
