Remarriage His Billionaire Ex-Wife novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199
Lucas didn’t speak, and Justin was so angry that his face turned pale.
Finally, Justin closed his eyes and softened his attitude. “Lucas, I know what’s on your mind. I do want you and Jessica to get married again. First, the two of you are in love. You two only ended up divorcing be cause of a misunderstanding. Second, you and Jessica’s marriage will do our family good. I gave Luna and Trissy money just to make them leave LA and stay away from you.”
“You know what Luna wants. You are just irritating her,” said Lucas.
“What’s your plan then? Let them get what they ask for? Do you have any idea how much you pay Luna and Trissy each month?”
Justin said flatly.
“I’ll make it clear to Luna and send her away from LA,” Lucas said coldly, pursing his lips.
“They know what you are going to do,” said Justin with a sneer. “Have you read about the news of Luna being pregnant? She’s so ambitious and bold. You can never marry such a woman. I’ve warned you before. You didn’t take care of the whole thing back then, and that’s why we are where we are. I’m just cleaning up the mess after you.”
Justin shifted the blame to Lucas within a few words.
Lucas didn’t know what to say because he was indeed partly responsible.
But Luna once saved Lucas after all. That was why Lucas always had mercy on her.
That was where Justin disagreed with Lucas. He thought Lucas was too soft-hearted.
Seeing Lucas bend his head, Justin coughed and said, “I’m in poor health now. I don’t know how much time I still have. Once I’m dead, the whole Thomas family will have to count on you.
“Jessica is the only heir in the Hall family, and you are the only heir in the Thomas family. If you marry Jessica, your child will be able to inherit the wealth of both families. Even if you don’t care to think for your self, you should plan well for your future kids!”
Well, Justin’s target had always been the Hall family behind Jessica.
Morgan seemed to have started from scratch, but the Wyatt family on Jessica’s mother’s side was a strong backer.
The Hall family wouldn’t have developed so smoothly without the Wyatt family’s support.
Justin planned differently for the two Thomas brothers. In his original plan, one would be a politician while the other would be a businessman. But sadly, things didn’t work out in Justin’s way.
Max married Trissy, who was of no use. Lucas did marry someone useful, yet he divorced Jessica in the end.
Justin didn’t like Jessica personally, but the Hall and the Wyatt family behind her were quite attractive.
“Grandpa, I know why you want me to remarry Jessica.”
Lucas interrupted Justin. He didn’t bite.
Justin got angry again when he saw that Lucas’ attitude remained unchanged. “Why don’t you go to say something nice to Jessica now? Why are you denouncing your grandfather here? Do you think that Jes sica will remarry you after you get something from me?
“Aren’t you investigating the source of the rumors? Go ahead!”
The more Justin spoke, the angrier he became. “Don’t tell me you don’t like Jessica! If you really don’t like her, why did you spend so much money to make Derek yield the land to her? If you don’t like Jessica why are you gonna send Olivia to Paris? If you don’t like Jessica, why did you come to me so angrily?
“You’ve been cold and indifferent since you were a child. I’ve never seen you get attached to anyone. Think about how many times you’ve questioned me for Jessica’s sake! Your sister said that your mind is fully occupied by Jessica, yet you are still denying it!”
Lucas listened to Justin’s words, and his expression finally changed.
Because Justin had seen through Lucas. He had unveiled the fact that Lucas had fallen in love with Jessica. Thus, Lucas could no longer lie to himself. Lucas couldn’t deny it.
Justin was right. Lucas liked Jessica. Or perhaps “like” was too light a word.
He didn’t know when it started or how it started.
But when he realized that he had fallen for Jessica, it was already too late.
Because of his arrogance, he was never willing to admit that. But today, Justin listed all the facts in front of Lucas.
