Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 9 Aggrieved

“I’m at Cloud Casino. Heather, bring all the cash that you have with you,” Lucas replied.

“You…” Heather trailed off in anger and nearly flung her phone to the floor. Her fury had heightened when she heard that her brother was gambling in a casino.

Carmen snatched her phone away and asked in concern, “Lucas, how much do you owe them?”

“Are you Lucas Jennings’ mother? He owes us five million. Come here in an hour with the money. Otherwise, I’ll chop off his hands,” a man’s voice replied to her before the call was hung up.

“Five million!” Carmen staggered back in shock, nearly losing her grip on the phone.

Where would they get five million?

“Mom, I told you to stop spoiling him but you wouldn’t listen. Look, he’s in trouble now. How will we get five million to save him?” Heather took her phone back, utterly annoyed.

“Heather, Lucas is your only brother. If I don’t spoil him, who else should I spoil? I need him to take care of me later on!” Carmen cried.

“What about now? Where will we get five million?” Heather was cross.

Carmen fell silent. After a moment of brief hesitation, something occurred to her. “Heather, why don’t you call Mr. Wallace? The casino will release Lucas if he helps us,” she suggested.

“Even if the casino is willing to release him, what about the money?” Heather returned exasperatedly.

She had no intention of asking for Walt’s help.

“Then borrow five million from him! He had lent us thirty million previously. We can add the five million to our debt,” Carmen told her shamelessly.

“Mom, am I nothing but a pawn for you to get more money?” Heather shouted, her cheeks flushed with anger.

“Heather, you’re going to Mr. Wallace the day after tomorrow anyway. If you ask him nicely, he’ll even lend forty million to us!” Carmen exclaimed, delighted at her brilliant idea.
