Chapter 8 Lending Another Five Million

Lucas could be heard wailing on the other line, “Save me, Sis! You won’t be able to see me ever again if you don’t come over now!”

The look on Heather’s face changed instantly. “What’s going on? Where are you?”

“I’m at Cloud Casino! I need you to come over with all the money you’ve got, Sis!”

“You…” Heather grew so mad that she nearly fainted on the spot.

Carmen snatched the phone over and asked worriedly, “How much do you owe them, Lucas?”

“I told you not to spoil him so much, but you wouldn’t listen to me. Now look what he’s done! How are we going to get five million?” Heather exclaimed anxiously and angrily as she took the phone over.

“What do we do about the five million?” Heather asked.
