Chapter 905
When Liam attended the funeral, he saw his friend’s sixty–year–old father suddenly turn grey and his newborn baby waiting to be fed. Because he had jumped off a building due to gambling debts, almost none of his friends came to his funeral. The scene was desolate.
His old father handed Liam some valuable items left by his son and promised to pay off his son’s debts in his lifetime.
Owen attended the funeral with Liam. After they returned from the funeral home, Liam looked particularly sombre.
He described how his classmate had been extremely frugal at school. He carefully recorded every expense. If he had an extra plate at one meal, he would only have porridge at the next. All his living expenses were spent on study materials
How could such a person develop a gambling habit?
Gambling habits are like drug addiction. In most cases, it’s due to bad friends who gradually lead one astray.
Liam felt a mixture of emotions. The objects felt unusually heavy in his hands. He had always thought that quitting gambling was simple and had overestimated people’s willpower
After this incident, he started investigating
The classmates who had lured his friend into gambling were all caught within two months of the funeral.
But what good did that do? The person was already dead and couldn’t be brought back. And the punishment for gambling was usually only two or three years. The real culprits were those who manipulated everything.
Liam had already found out the locations and entry rules of Ramsey’s two casinos at the beginning of the year.
Because many people were involved, he hadn’t acted. If he did, he would make enemies. If it hadn’t been for what had happened to his wife, Liam might have waited for a more suitable time to deal with him. But he couldn’t tolerate what had happened to his wife.
Not long after Owen left, Liam received a text message from Lucilla Preston on his cell phone.
“Ive got all the photos Shawn had. He doesn’t have any negatives, and I’ve cleaned out his phone.”
Liam replied, “Thanks”
She sent another message, “Your wife asked me to pretend to be pregnant to provoke Helen. Should I pretend?”
Liam chuckled and replied, “Like I said, just do what she tells you. You don’t have to keep asking me. Contact me if you need help. I promise you won’t miss out on what I promised you.”
Lucilla felt somewhat relieved. She then opened a pregnancy test, faked the result, and threw it in the bathroom trash can.
Then she came out of the bathroom looking pale.
Shawn was on the phone. After he hung up and saw Lucilla’s pale face, he asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Lucilla shook her head, “Maybe I ate something bad I feel a bit nauseous.”
Shawn didn’t ask any more questions and said, “I’m going to use the bathroom, then we can go out to eat.”
Lucilla’s face was slightly strange as she whispered, “Maybe you should use the one outside. The cleaner didn’t come today.”
“It’s okay,” Shawn didn’t notice her strangeness and said, “Go get changed.” Having said that, he went to the bathroom.
He had been very happy recently. That fifty million could be transferred to his account in two months through legal channels. How could he not be happy?
That money solved all his urgent needs.
In his mind he was planning how to sweet talk Celeste again, how to get her to agree to his previous proposal. He looked down and saw the pregnancy test in the trash can–two red lines.
Shawn was a little stunned. He looked again to make sure, and indeed, there were two red lines.
Lucilla’s house, usually she’s the only one living there Only he would pop in from time to time, giving her financial support. Afraid she’d use his money to support other men, he even installed surveillance in the house.
–“I know for sure that Lucilla only has I as her man. If she gets knocked up, the kid’s definitely mine!”
Shawn got pumped up instantly
This year’s been wicked, two surprises in a row. Things he couldn’t get when he was young were now coming his way one after another as he got
older.
He pulled up his pants, didn’t even wash his hands, and ran out to ask Lucilla, “Are you knocked up?”
Lucilla’s face instantly turned to panic, “No, no.”
