Previously, Lucas could still maintain a relaxed demeanor as Felix examined Deasy's hard drive. However, when his assistant found something there, he became instantly curious.In Lucas's mind, he suspected that Felix had discovered data or evidence of embezzlement or money laundering that Daniel had been doing to the company all along. In any case, Lucas still thought positively that the data had been intentionally recorded or stored by Deasy, as he and Felix had suspected all along.But after reading through each document that Felix presented, Lucas was shocked. From the laptop screen, he clearly saw that the embezzlement of funds and the diversion of several vital company functions were carried out by Deasy, not Daniel Knight, the man he had been suspecting all this time.Not only that, the amount of money Deasy had embezzled was truly staggering. It's no wonder that Quantum Tech suffered losses of tens of billions of rupiah because most of the company's earnings were not deposited
Upon their arrival and as they entered Deasy's apartment unit, Deasy couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to grab Lucas's arm, trying to stop him in his tracks, attempting to pull him to focus on her."Luc... I beg you, I can explain everything."Lucas immediately turned to look at her, his gaze sharp, and he showed a cutting grin."What do you want to explain? Do you want to tell me why you hate my father? Or maybe you want to explain your intentions for revenge and destroying the Morales family?"Deasy swallowed hard. Like a skilled person, Lucas could accurately perceive what she intended to express."Luc... you really need to hear my explanation.""Yes," Lucas nodded. "As you said the other day, you do need to provide an explanation, Des."Deasy tried to reach for Lucas's hand, intending to invite him to sit down together and talk about the issue that had now become their problem.However, instead of accepting, Lucas pushed Deasy's wrist away. He even deliberately adjusted
"Enough, Des. You calm down first. I'm sure there's a way out of all the problems that have occurred."Veronica gently rubbed Deasy's shoulder. She observed her friend sitting quietly on the sofa in her apartment.After learning that Deasy had a dispute with Lucas yesterday evening, Veronica intended to check on her friend's condition today. She had been trying to reach Deasy all morning without any response. Worried that something might be wrong, Veronica deliberately visited Park Avenue, where Deasy lived, at lunchtime.As expected, when she arrived at Deasy's apartment unit, she found that Deasy was not working. From her disheveled appearance, swollen eyes, and tired expression, Veronica was certain that there was indeed a problem between Deasy and Lucas.That's why Veronica was trying to help. Even though she couldn't do much, at the very least, she was willing to be a loyal listener in case Deasy needed a friend to talk to, as usual, to vent her frustrations and share her feeling
Since learning about what Deasy had done to him and the company, Lucas had been trying to fix things. Focusing on the company, he asked Felix to prepare a report on the completed investigation."Sir, are you really going to put Ms. Deasy's name as the person responsible for the losses incurred by the company?"Lucas nodded, affirming what his assistant had just asked. In any case, Deasy had to take responsibility for what she had done to the company."Yes. However you look at it, Deasy must be held accountable," Lucas said confidently. "Moreover, she has been doing this for a long time, consciously and deliberately. That means she was prepared and considered all the risks in case her actions were exposed, as they are now.""I understand that, sir. I fully support your firm stance. However, my question here is, after Mr. Andreas finds out everything and processes this report with the authorities, will you be okay with it? Ms. Deasy is pregnant, after all. She's carrying your child. If
"Please, Dad. Please tell me the truth."Lucas continued to gaze intensely at his father's face. Instead of leaving after delivering the report on the investigation he had been conducting, the sturdy man took the opportunity to ask questions.Actually, if he wanted to, Lucas could have asked Felix to investigate what had happened in the past between his father and the late Deasy's father. But because he wanted to hear it directly from the mouth of Andreas Morales himself, he decided to ask personally. Who knows, there might have been a misunderstanding that had been going on between both parties."Lucas doesn't know if Papa had actually investigated before this. What is certain is that Deasy embezzled and misappropriated company funds deliberately, seeking revenge against the Morales family, especially Papa. The basis of this revenge is one thing, Dad. Deasy didn't accept it and accused Papa of being responsible for the death of the late Anton Wolf. That's why Lucas wants to clarify d
Since he had been dismissed, Lucas decided to leave. Just as he arrived at his car, his phone rang. It turned out to be Devina calling."Yes? What's up?""Luc, can we meet right now?""What's the matter?""There's something important I want to discuss.""Alright, just come to my office. We can talk in my room, how about that?""Okay. I'll be there in thirty minutes or an hour."After the call with Devina, Lucas hurriedly decided to return to the office. It had only been about fifteen minutes since he sat down when he heard a knock on his office door.Suspicious, Lucas immediately invited whoever was outside to enter. He assumed it was Devina. However, when he looked up, he found Deasy standing before him."What are you doing in my office?" Lucas asked, his voice sounding cold.Deasy slowly raised her head, attempting to meet Lucas's gaze, then took a few steps forward to place a red and brown folder that she had i
Accidentally bumping into Lucas at the obstetrician's office weighed heavily on Deasy's mind for three whole days. In reality, whether Lucas hung out in the ER, the cardiologist's practice, or even the operating room shouldn't have been an issue for Deasy at all.However, what really irked Deasy was that instead of accompanying her, a clearly pregnant woman, Lucas was escorting another lady. Who is it that's carrying Lucas's child, anyway? Deasy or Devina? Or could it be that Devina has also invested in her fiancé's womb all this time?Beyond that, whether intentional or not, Lucas's warm and attentive attitude toward Devina infuriated Deasy.Yes, Deasy knew that Lucas had always been a gentle and caring man. His acts of service were exceptional, to say the least. But that didn't mean he had to be that way with every woman. Deasy thought that such special treatment should be reserved for her alone, but that wasn't the case.Before Deasy's very eyes
"What else do you want by coming here?" Andreas asked with a cold tone. He stared sharply at Deasy, who now stood before him with her head bowed.Following her mother's request, Deasy had finally mustered the courage to meet Andreas at his office. Luckily, the middle-aged man was in his office. Even more fortunate, although his secretary had informed him of the visitor's identity, Andreas had no intention of chasing her away. He still welcomed her in, eager to hear why the late friend's daughter had bothered to come to his office."I-I have something to tell you, Sir."Andreas nodded. He raised his hand and gestured for Deasy to sit on the sofa in front of him."Just go ahead and tell me your purpose and intention for coming here. I don't have much time to listen to lengthy explanations."Deasy took a deep breath. She swallowed hard and tried to find the right words to convey to the man she had insulted and targeted for revenge just a few days ago.
