My Cheating Husband Took Revenge For Me

After Lucas left the cafe, he seemed really furious.

Since he could not convince Sawyer to drop the case, he had to think of other solutions.

“Lucas, how did it go?”

Anna appeared behind him with a worried look on her face. However, a calculating glint flashed across her eyes.

Lucas was startled before he took a deep breath and shook his head.

“Sawyer’s a dead end. He’s planning to fight till the end.”

Anna’s face paled, and she immediately grabbed his hand. Her voice trembled, “Lucas, what am I going to do? I don’t want to go to jail…”

Lucas frowned and patted her hand to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, we can think of a solution.”

Anna’s eyes flickered and suddenly whispered, “Lucas, doesn’t Joan have a daughter? Gracie?”

Lucas’ expression froze. “What are you trying to say?”

“We can use her to threaten Joan. She’ll definitely appear!” Anna sounded certain. “She dotes on that illegitimate child! She won’t ignore her!”

I was right by Anna's side, and I couldn't resist the urge to slap her!

Seriously, Gracie was still so small—how could anyone use a kid's life to blackmail others?

Lucas sounded a little hesitant.

“But, she’s just a child…”

Anna immediately interrupted him and put on a fake brave face. She sobbed, “Lucas, do you also feel like I should be in prison? Do you really think Joan is better than me?

“I know, it’s my fault for leaving you back then. But I really have no other choice now…”

Anna had been putting up with this act many times.

As expected, Lucas’ expression immediately softened.

He caressed her face and said dotingly, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do that to you?”

Anna took the opportunity to grab his hand as she pleaded, “Lucas, I only have you…”

Lucas shut his eyes. When he reopened his eyes again, the hesitation was gone.

“Let’s go to school.”

However, it was not as smooth-sailing as they thought it would be.

In the office, the principal exchanged a glance with the teacher after hearing Lucas’ request.

“Gracie? She hasn’t been to class in a month.”

Lucas’ expression changed.

“What do you mean she hasn’t gone to class in a month?

“What are you doing as a school? Don’t you know if your student has gone missing?”

The principal was shocked by his sudden anger and immediately explained, “We contacted her guardian before, but no one answered.

“In her file, it indicated that her mother had already passed away, and there wasn’t a name on the father’s column…”

Lucas was shocked as he clenched his fist.

“What do you mean? Her mother… had passed away?”

The principal nodded. “That’s right. According to the file, she passed away five years ago.”

Lucas’ breathing hitched. His mind started to buzz.

It seemed like he was still in denial about my death.

In his eyes, I was a despicable person who was afraid of death. How would I die this early?

“Impossible, you’re lying!

“Joan can’t be dead! She must have made you say this!”

As expected, the next second, Lucas suddenly stood up and roared at the crowd.

The principal was shocked by his sudden anger and immediately denied, “We’re not lying to you. It’s written in the file…”

Lucas was not listening to him. He turned around and ran out.

Anna was shocked. “Lucas, where are you going?”

Lucas did not look back as he said furiously, “I want to look into this. I’ll see for myself if Joan’s truly dead!”
