Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 143

Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 142 by Adolf Dunne

“I… I just heard it from someone.” Her hands held each other, sweating and slightly trembling. Alicia was caught off guard, not expecting that she would make such a blunder. “You heard it? From who exactly did you hear it?” Victor’s eyes narrowed as he asked. His tone and expression weren’t really angry. But his aura was obviously intimidating. Alicia swallowed hard, carefully thinking the words that she would say. After a while, her pink lips moved.

“I heard it from a servant passing by when I was waiting for Rachel by the lake the other day.” After she finally made up a story, the entire room was filled with total silence. Victor didn’t say a word, but his eyes were still fixed on Alicia. Alicia was so afraid that she couldn’t stare back into Victor’s freezing eyes. She felt guiltier and uneasy that he wasn’t saying anything. “Victor…”

Not able to take it anymore, Alicia tried to explain again, but she was suddenly cut off by Victor. “I’ll ask the driver to send you back to school.” After saying that, he strode towards the stairs, not letting Alicia have a chance to say another word. A while later, Lukas came downstairs and saw Alicia there, alone. She was standing still, with her pink lips tightly closed. Her eyes looked red as if she had just finished crying.

“Miss Schultz, let me walk you out…” “It’s fine. I can do that by myself.” Before Lukas could finish his words, Alicia interrupted with her hoarse voice. Then, she turned around and quickly walked outside the house. Looking at her obviously upset and aggrieved back, Lukas sighed. He watched Victor grow up. For so many years, he had never seen Victor take any woman seriously except for his grandmother. 1 In fact, even Rachel, who had been married to him and now pregnant with his child, was no exception.

Victor didn’t treat her any better, let alone Alicia. “Lukas…” After quickly striding away, Alicia suddenly stopped and turned towards Lukas, revealing her still reddish eyes. “Yes, Miss Schultz. What can I do for you?” Lukas asked, trying to be considerate with the pitiful-looking girl. “Well… It’s actually my birthday next Wednesday, and my family will hold a party for me.

Will you please tell Victor about it? If it is possible, I want him to be there.” She took a deep breath and added. “Please tell him that I’ll wait for him in Crown Club.” “Yes, of course. I’ll be sure to tell Mr. Sullivan,” Lukas answered. After getting the response she wanted, Alicia didn’t say anything more and eventually left.

A few moments later, Lukas went upstairs and knocked on the door of the study. “Come in.” Victor’s voice sounded from the other side of the door. Lukas pushed the door open and walked in. Victor had just put down his phone to end a call. So, he turned around and looked at Lukas, who just came in. “Mr. Sullivan, Miss Schultz has already left.”

Lukas paused for a moment before he continued, “Before she left, she actually asked me to tell you that her birthday party will be held next Wednesday at the Crown Club. She will be expecting you.” “I see.” With an expressionless face, Victor replied vaguely. Lukas couldn’t determine from his answer if he would go or not. Then, Victor’s phone suddenly vibrated, hinting that he got a message. As the screen of the phone lit up, he saw that the message was from Ivan.

Seeing this, he was reminded that he had an appointment with a business partner. “When will the doctor arrive?” Victor asked Lukas while he was texting Ivan back. Then, he took the documents on the desk to prepare for his appointment. “I just received a message from the doctor. He said he would be here within ten minutes,” Lukas replied. Victor just nodded. He was actually thinking what Alicia just said earlier, and he deemed that he should do something about it.

“By the way, investigate who were in the garden on the day Alicia fell into the water. Once you find out who they are, kick them out.” Hearing this, Lukas was stunned. He didn’t know why Victor would suddenly ask for such a thing. “Okay then. But may I ask why?” It was a strange order, so Lukas wondered why he needed to suddenly investigate that event.

“I don’t like servants who don’t know when to shut their mouths.” After saying that in a cold tone, Victor walked out of the study. When Victor was out of sight, Lukas frowned and his face became more puzzled.

“Oh, Andy.” Rachel smiled back, a bit surprised that he answered the door this quick. Then, Andy took a look at the Maybach behind Rachel, as well as the men in black who stood beside the car. Moreover, when he saw the Obsidian around their neck, he couldn’t help but frown and sigh.

Although Rachel seemed fine, he still felt that something wrong was going on. Although he hadn’t known Abby for a very long time, he knew that she adored Rachel very much. In fact, she almost always stayed by her side. However, ever since he was taken away and Rachel moved into Sue Garden, he had never seen a glimpse of Abby again. “Miss Bennet…” The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt it was. He stopped and looked at the back of Rachel, wanting to find some answers.
