Dwayne had made his intention clear, so he didn't want to waste any more time when Luna continued to play the innocence card. He didn't take back the check. After all, he didn't pay much attention to what Luna said.
Luna claimed she didn't care about the money of the Thomas family. But she and Trissy had been staying in the apartment that Lucas bought.
Trissy often told Lucas that Luna wasn't feeling well. Then Lucas would give them a sum of money.
If they had any self-dignity, they would have moved out long ago.
"That's all of Mr. Thomas' message, so I won't disturb you ladies."
As soon as Dwayne left, Trissy began to toss everything around in anger. "Damn old man. He wants to send us away with only fifty million?"
Luna frowned and said with a sullen face, "But Jessica is going to remarry Lucas..."
At the thought of this, Trissy said disappointedly, "Then what should we do, Luna?"
They asked for money from Lucas and stayed low-key for several months, but that did not mean they had given up the thought of marrying into the Thomas family.
They were supposed to possess more than 50 million dollars.
Luna didn't think of any good idea. She looked at the 50-million check on the table, unwilling to be dismissed by Thomas Family.
"Luna, any idea?" Trissy could never make decisions on her own. She panicked and could only count on Luna.
"Just sit on the sofa and take a rest. I'll call Olivia." Luna frowned, but she was calmer than Trissy.
"Where are you going to call?" Trissy paused and looked at Luna.
"Where can I go? Just the bedroom." Luna looked at Trissy impatiently.
She didn't wear the pitiful look she had in front of Lucas.
Trissy tried saying something, but she was startled by the look on Luna's face. She obediently stayed in the living room.
After a while, Luna opened the bedroom door and walked out.
"How is it going?" Trissy's eyes lit up as she asked.
"Olivia said that Lucas is very attentive to Jessica now, and he favors her in many aspects," Luna said as she recalled the conversation, "It seems that we have to start with Jessica."
"What do you mean?" Trissy asked.
"If Jessica misunderstood Lucas, things will be easier," Luna said nonchalantly as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Trissy said worriedly, "But as long as Lucas explains it to Jessica, won't what we do be useless?"
"I wouldn't have been so sure if they had never divorced. Now that they're divorced, that might not be the case," Luna said with a secretive smile.
The next day, Trissy went to Thomas Group alone according to Luna's instructions.
She had told Lucas last time that Luna suffered from severe MDD. Although Lucas didn't go to visit Luna, he gave Trissy a sum of money to find an authoritative psychiatrist for Luna.
Trissy felt that Lucas wouldn't be so ruthless as to leave Luna alone if he knew Luna committed suicide. The excuse sounded perfect. He wouldn't leave Luna to die, would he?
Luna emphasized that Trissy must see Lucas in person and persuade Lucas to come to see Luna. At the very least, Luna wanted Lucas to go to the hospital with her.
However, when Trissy walked to the front desk, the receptionist politely said to her, "Miss Cheek, Mr. Thomas has a meeting today and can't meet any guests. Would you want to leave a message? I will pass it on to him later."
When Trissy heard the receptionist's words, she immediately glared at her in anger.
She had enjoyed the privileges of being Max Thomas' wife in the past few years. She knew the receptionist just wouldn't let her meet Lucas.
"Who are you? Why would I let you pass the passage on to him?" Trissy asked in a sharp voice.
"I'm sorry, Miss. Cheek, Mr. Thomas really has a meeting to attend." The receptionist didn't think much of Trissy since Trissy always came to ask for money. But the receptionist couldn't offend any visitors, so she got up and apologized.
People were entering the hall from time to time. The conflict immediately attracted their attention.
Trissy heard their discussion and her face darkened.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll wait here."
She turned around and left the front desk. She went to the waiting area in the hall and sat down on the sofa.
