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?”

“You’re Lucas’ mother, right? He owes us a total of five million. You have one hour to bring us the money, or I will chop his arms off!” said a man in the background before the line went dead.

“Five million?” Carmen nearly dropped the phone as she staggered backward.

Where are we going to get that much money?

“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.

“He’s my only son, Heather! I need him to look after me when I’m old, so it’s only natural that I spoil him!” Carmen protested with tears rolling down her cheeks.

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

After giving it some thought, Carmen came up with an idea and said, “Why don’t you call Mr. Wallace for help? I’m sure the men at the casino would respect him enough to let your brother go!”
