Chapter 1469
"Madam, Mr. Ben Lucas has already gone to conduct a paternity test," the butler continued his report.
At this, Mrs. Lucas swept the teacup off the table, smashing it to pieces on the floor with a sharp crack.
"Well, isn't this just perfect," she sneered. "Once the results are out, I bet Jamie will be dragging that sick child into our home, demanding marriage!"This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Mrs. Lucas had never thought highly of her.
Jamie came from a humble background. What support could she bring to the Lucas family?
Her genes weren't desirable either. She had a sickly child who needed extensive medical treatment even at a young age.
It wasn't that the Lucas family couldn't afford medical expenses, but Ben was supposed to be the family's heir. Was she expected to welcome a frail child as the future eldest grandson of the Lucas family? Unthinkable.
She commanded, frowning, "I don't care if this child is Ben's or not. The paternity test must say he isn't. If you fail, consider your position here finished."
"Yes, Madam, I'll handle it immediately," the butler agreed hurriedly.
Even after making these arrangements, Mrs. Lucas couldn't shake her unease. She decided to confront Jamie directly and arranged to meet her at a café.
When they met, Mrs. Lucas placed her luxurious leather bag on the table. It was a bag Jamie could never afford, even in a lifetime.
Mrs. Lucas was adorned in custom
couture, with jewels on her neck and
wrists that were worth fortunes, while Jamie sat there in faded jeans and a simple top, her entire outfit totaling barely $20. Jamie sat uncomfortably, her voice tense.
"Mrs. Lucas, you wanted PRS
see me?"
"I've heard you're back around Ben again. Miss Lewis, that's not how one should conduct themselves. You took my money, which meant you were supposed to keep your word People who deceive me don't fare well." Mrs. Lucas's tone was
calm, but her words tone was
dripped with threat.
Jamie felt a chill. "It wasn't my intention to see him."
She never expected Ben would seek out her sister, even getting engaged to her. She wanted nothing more than to stay away from him, but she couldn't say this to Mrs. Lucas, who would never believe her.
Mrs. Lucas didn't give her a chance to explain, smiling coldly. "So, you're saying my son is the one pursuing you? Am I, as his mother, supposed to apologize to you on his behalf?"
"No, Mrs. Lucas, you
misunderstood," Jamie stammered,
quickly shaking her head. She
wouldn't dare expect someone like
Mrs. Lucas to lower herself for her
sake. She wasn't ready to sign her own death sentence.
"Don't tell me it's a misunderstanding. I only believe what I see with my own eyes." Mrs. Lucas then placed a medical record on the table. It was the original record, not a copy. The sight made Jamie's heart skip a beat. She had found the hospital.
"Mrs. Lucas, please, don't involve my son. I'll leave Ben, I promise. This time I'll go abroad and stay far from him. You'll never see either of us again."
"When you left years ago, I thought he'd eventually move on. But he hasn't. He still can't forget you," Mrs. Lucas continued, as if she hadn't even heard Jamie's plea.
