Even though Mr.Qiao had surrendered Jonathan, Lucas did not ease the pressure on his business. It wasn’t a very big enterprise, and it could very easily go bankrupt if Lucas kept squeezing him like this. Joshua Qiao stood outside Lucas’s house. As he shouted for Lucas to come out and face him, several bodyguards surrounded him. Eventually, he was arrested for disturbing the peace. After this, information was leaked to the press that Jonathan Qiao was suspected of arson in the hospital, twice. The shareholders began to sell off their shares. The bank refused Mr. Qiao’s application for a loan, due to the criminal cases against him. Production was delayed due to Lucas’s scheme, and the penalties piled on. The company’s value fell significantly. Mr.Qiao took out mortgages on Qiao\'s real estate , but it still did nothing to help. Within the span of a week, Mr. Qiao’s hairline seemed to recede even further than before. Suddenly, Lucas made an o
\"Xiaobao, would you ask Mom to marry Dad?” Xiaobao cleverly repeated Lucas Huo’s words back to Oliver Shi. After a moment of silence, Oliver Shi suddenly looked up at Lucas Huo and asked, \"Do you really want to marry me?\" \"Yes.\" “For good?\" \"As long as we’re together, through fire or through flood,\" Lucas Huo assured Oliver Shi. \"Good.\" When Oliver closed his eyes, \"Let Xiaobao ask again, I will answer you now.\" Xiaobao’s small, high-pitched voice echoed through the yard. \"Mom, would you like to marry Dad?\" \"Yes,\" Oliver Shi replied. “I want to get married right away.” Lucas Huo was expecting a “yes,” but he didn’t know Oliver Shi wanted it immediately. An uncontrollable ecstasy spread from his heart, and his face lit up. He rushed to Oliver Shi, held him and embraced him. \"I love you,\" he said happily. As soon as they could, they flew abroad to get a marriage certificate. The
The day before the wedding, Huo was more excited than ever. He paced around the bedroom, glancing at the bathroom from time to time, and saw that no one came out. He couldn\'t help asking, \"OK, no, no, no, I\'ll go in if you don\'t come out again!\" \"Wait a second, my fly got stuck.\" In the bathroom, Oliver’s shy voice called out. Lucas could feel his heart pounding. He wasn’t born yesterday. He knew it when someone was hinting at something. \"Would you like me to help you pull it up?\" Though Lucas was rubbing his hands outside the door, there was still a chance he would be rejected. Oliver Shi was silent for a moment. ”Okay.\" Lucas immediately opened the door and rushed in. As soon as he saw what Oliver Shi was wearing, he burned in desire. He was trying on his wedding suit, including his sexy underwear. Oliver Shi did not know where Lucas had bought these clothes, but he liked them. Sitting on the edge of
Lucas looked at him nervously. He thought he was going to stop walking, but Oliver kept going. \"I\'m ok. Don\'t stop!\" \"Are you okay?\" \"Lucas, go on!\" In Oliver\'s eyes, Lucas could see happiness, and resolve. The wedding had to continue. Lucas Huo\'s eyes had gotten red. He squeezed Oliver\'s hand tightly. Softly, he whispered, \"I love you.\" They continue to walk forward. Oliver Shi suddenly called his name. \"Lucas,\" he said weakly. \"I\'m here.\" \"Lucas, I have something to tell you.\" \"What is it?\" \"I’m sorry, Lucas.\" \"Why are you sorry?\" \"I knew that I would not live long, but I agreed to your proposal. You see, I\'m also a selfish person. I wanted you to keep looking after me till I died. Oliver Shi had gotten much weaker, and his steps began to falter. Lucas Huo held him up. \"You hurt me so much before. I want to get back at you, but I couldn’t think of
Three months later, Lucas Huo sat on a fishing chair. From behind him, someone skimmed a pebble on the lake, disturbing the fish that was about to bite. The pebble hopped five, six times before finally disappearing. \"Fishing again?\" Anthony Shen sat on the ground beside him. \"I don\'t know. You come here fishing every weekend. Does it really give you peace?\" \"You come here every weekend to throw stones to scare away my fish, does that give you peace?\" Lucas asked. Anthony laughed. \"As long as I\'m bothering you, I\'m happy.\" Lucas Huo laughed with him. Anthony caught a handful of fish feed and threw it into the water. On the water, there were groups of goldfish swimming to grab food. \"Did you ever regret taking Oliver’s kidney for Jonathan Qiao’s sake?\" After Oliver\'s death, Lucas began to plant pink roses all over, even outside his property. The business tycoon was now a gardener. Huo just sh
\"Come here!\" His whole body trembled, and his blood seemed to be frozen. Oliver Shi looked fearfully at the man who stood ten meters away from him. The man yelled. \"I repeat, come here!\" The man stood straight. He wore a tailored suit which made him appear cold and intimidating. Squinting, he raised his right hand and pulled off his tie. Oliver Shi knew what this meant. He was angry. Their relationship used to be like a dream. Now, the dream had turned into a nightmare that he wanted to run away from. Lucas Huo! Oliver Shi shook his head. On his eyes was a desperate look. He looked out of the window at the plane, which was still in the runway. His nails had sank into his flesh, and blood trickled down his fingers. Just another 10 minutes, he could have boarded that plane! He could have disappeared forever. But such was his luck. He had been caught at the airport! What kind of punishment awaited him?
Oliver Shi has been captured again. Yes, again. Since he found out why Huo had dated him in the first place, he had tried to escape again and again. However, he was never successful at it. Every time he attempted to leave, he would be captured. Every time he was captured, he’d be punished more severely than before. The first time he had escaped from the villa, Lucas Huo tied him to the attic and whipped him for three days. The second time, he hurt the Shi family business. Within three days, the stock price of their company fell and was on the verge of bankruptcy. His father knelt and begged him to go back to the Huo mansion, and announced publicly that he had disowned Oliver as his son. This was the third time he tried to escape, and now Lucas Huo had his brother\'s leg broken. Lucas Huo clearly knew that Liam was his one true weakness. The whole Shi family could burn in hell, as far as Oliver Shi was concerned. The only one in his family
As darkness fell, the whole mansion was quiet. Aunt Vivian’s footsteps could be heard from afar as she made her way down the stairs. Lucas has not been back since retrieving him from the airport. The elder housekeeper opened the door and put his dinner in front of him. \"Don\'t act like you’re already half-dead. Eat quickly. I want to finish cleaning up.” When Oliver looked at the bowl in front of him, he saw that a piece had broken off and been reattached to the edge of the bowl. A black substance was stuck along the crevice it made, and Oliver wrinkled his nose. From the smell, the food had gone bad. Oliver put his chopsticks down, pushed them away and told her, \"I’m not hungry.\" \"You know I’ll bring this back for your next meal. Don\'t be stubborn,\" Aunt Vivian said. Cursing, she closed the door and walked away. Oliver Shi ignored her, hungry and unable to sit up. He lay on the floor, leaning sideways. A chain went around his neck.
