Keith’s eyes lit up, “Oh, you already know I’m coming!”
He pulled the chair and intended to sit down. Lucas’s face darkened and he pressed his hand, “That is Olivia’s seat!”
Keith felt that a chill went down his spine. Cold fear rose in his heart and he stood up while smiling dryly and said, “Lucas…Olivia…she’s dead, do you know?”
Olivia died. This was a matter that Keith did not anticipate. What made him even astonished was Lucas’s attitude.
Others did not know but he knew Lucas’s attitude to Olivia now very well.
He was as crazy as the devil.
If Olivia was alive, Lucas certainly would not let her go.
The fact that one knew how to cherish only after losing was a common problem of human beings. Now, it seemed that the extent of how much did Lucas cherish Olivia had reached the frenzied and lunatic point.
Keith did not want to comment about his own friend like this but when he looked at the two bowls in front of him, his face looked serious.
Lucas knitted his eyebrows. Keith thought that he was still sad so he coughed dryly, “Lucas, you…don’t be too sad.”
In addition to this, he did not know how to comfort him.
Lucas abruptly raised his eyebrows and his eyes were full of fury, “She’s not dead!”
…
The air seemed to be frozen for a few seconds. Keith could not say a word for a moment until Lucas slightly contained his anger, “She’s just angry with me so she isn’t willing to see me.”
There was a touch of helpless indulgence and smile between his eyebrows as if Olivia was really still alive and was just at outs with him as a little woman.
However, Keith clearly understood what the truth was about. Thus, the uneasiness in his mind grew even deeper.
Was Lucas…going crazy?
He took a deep breath, looked at him seriously and said, “Lucas, do you know what are you doing?”
“Olivia is dead, don’t deceive yourself anymore!”
He propped his hands on the table and looked at Lucas with a touch of firmness that he had never shown before, “If you go on like this, I’ll reconsider the cooperation between the two of us!”
They were not only friends, but also partners. This was more important than anything else!
Lucas violently swung all the things on the table to the floor and roared furiously, “She’s not dead! This is all the nonsense told by the members of the Cooper family! Olivia is absolutely not dead!”
Keith stood up and stayed far. He also roared, “You want to make a scene for how long, look at yourself, are you still looking like how Lucas should be? Do you think you can resurrect Olivia by doing this? Come on, you don’t know how to cherish her when she was alive, why are you acting like this when she is dead? Let her be unable to live peacefully down there too?”
“Get lost! Get lost!” Lucas gritted his teeth and pointed at the door. His eyes were cold.
Keith tidied up his own clothes and finally advised, “Lucas, don’t let me down, don’t let Olivia down!”
…
She was dead.
Like a magic spell, this sentence kept lingering in Lucas’s mind. Even when the sky was getting dark, he also did not have any reaction at all.
Manfred appeared in front of him.
“You want to make a scene for how long?” As soon as Manfred spoke, he spoke the same words as Keith’s. Lucas raised his head and sneered, “What do you want me to do again?”
“Who are you talking to? I’m your father!” Manfred was boiling with rage as Lucas’s attitude made him feel provoked.
Lucas stood up, ignored the mess on the floor and found himself a chair to sit in, “I once treated you as my father but you only treated me as a toy to secure your position. The reason that you painstakingly let me marry Olivia was also just to ensure that the Cooper Group remained in the control of our lineage…”
“The reason I did this was all for you!” Manfred interrupted him in fury, “You were the one who messed everything up in which you insisted on divorcing Olivia, what? You regret it now, is it?”
He looked at his son who was in front of him and sneered, “She’s already dead, what’s the point that you still behave like this? Do you know how the situation is in the company now? You don’t care about things so Old Master Foster is already planning to let Lance take over your job. The people outside are all saying that without Olivia, you’re a waste!”
Lucas smiled slightly and his smile was full of despondency, “I’m indeed a waste.”
Without Olivia, he totally had no motivation to live.
What company, what power, all went to hell!
