Chapter 27 CULPRIT
TOBIAS POV
“If we are here because you think we did it, then sorry to break your bubbles we didn’t” I said to the family getting annoyed that they could call my family here and they actually came after what they did to us, Lucas parents didn’t even care if he knew my parents for long, he sat aside and watched his son destroy my parents little source of income, am so grateful he didn’t know I had a restaurant since it wasn’t written in my name. “No son, I called your parents here to apologize to them on behalf of what my grandson did to them, he went out of line” grandpa glared at Lucas who shrink in his chair, trying his very best to avoid his grandfather glare on him.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“All is forgiven sir” my mother says, I huffed, how can all be forgiven so easily after he humiliated my family over a girl he didn’t have feelings for, only God knows if she is still alive, I just hope she is safe wherever she might be, I shook any bad thought away from my mind.
“So why are we here?” I grunted out feeling annoyed since we always get involved in their problem, “we need your help, even if he doesn’t say it, my grandson cannot do anything without you, you are one of the best thing that has ever happened to him,” why his grandpa sounding like am dating his son I wondered, shivering a little by the thought of me being Lucas boyfriend, I would have killed myself, I wonder what Arya saw in him, he’s so boring. “What do you want from me sir?” I asked getting confused, “I believe you have an idea of who is behind this” grandpa says with so much certainty, everyone turned to look at me, “I don’t know what you’re talking about grandpa” I said becoming nervous when I felt all eyes on me, I sigh, “I promise, I’ll look for the person behind this,” I said, so they could stop staring at me, they went back to making plans but I still felt Becca’s eyes on me, she gazed into my soul like she knew what I saw up to, and she definitely knew I was lying, but she said nothing.
*********
Three weeks went by so fast and still no clue who the person doing this was, I suspected Fernando, but I have no evidence to prove it, everyone was panicking, another information about the company got out, and grandpa called for another meeting. Everyone keeps thinking on who was behind all this, I noticed the person was attacking Lucas parents the most, like his parents were the offenders, this person humiliated them, one time a picture of Lucas mother was posted on the internet, she was scolding a little girl who mistakenly splashed water on her, but this person made the video looked like, Lucas mother was at fault, everyone called her out, saying she was an “evil witch,” then came the news on Lucas girlfriend been sent out of the house, they said his mother had a hand in it, and she has been avoiding answering this, I feel she knows something.
“Maybe your ex is behind this” Derek said to Lucas, “Arya doesn’t have the resources to plan all this in just one year, this person knows everything about all of you, and have noticed his or her pattern” I said watching everyone listening to me. “You think a girl can do all this?” Derek scoffs. “didn’t you just made a suggestion, you said it was Arya, is she a boy?” I rolled my eyes, knowing he was always dumb. “I meant, maybe she found a richer man and he helped her out with her evil plans” the fool said, where does he think this is, a movie, or a romance novel? Sometimes I wondered if he was adopted. “if I hear another word from you, I’ll send you out of here,” grandpa finally spoke causing his to shut up, “continue, my boy” he calls me that even though I wasn’t his blood, he considered me as part of the family, I smiled and continued, “this person is not coming after Becca or Lucas, this person, I believe, he or she is trying to destroy your parents.” I finished my statement that was rudely interrupted by that dumbass. “so, you think, I and my husband offended someone?” Lucas, mother spoke for the first time, I nod, she chuckled, “is this because I embarrassed you and that whore, you’re now trying to put the blame on me,” mom! Mother! Lucas and Becca yelled at her, I sat there and watch them argue, I said nothing, until grandpa has had enough of her tantrum, “Eugene control your wife or I will do it for you,” grandpa spoke for the first time, Eugene who has been sitting, watching his wife and children argue finally spoke up, “sit down Laura” she tried to argue but the look he gave her made her shut up and seat down.
“Son, if what you say is true, then why is the company running down, why can’t they just face them and leave the company in peace? This company has already been given to Lucas so this person must also be attacking my grandson as well, do you know who might be behind this?” he finally asked the right question, “I might have an idea but I know this person is not working alone. “Well, spit it out boy” Laura muttered getting annoyed that I wasn’t saying anything, “mom, please, just be quiet’ Lucas spoke up.
“Fernando is behind any fault that has to do with Lucas but what I don’t seem to know his who is trying to destroy the both of you,” they both turned and stare at Fernando who has been quiet all this time, behaving like he knew nothing, he raised his head up and smirked, “so, she told you? that bitch couldn’t just shut up about it, even when she is gone, she’s still giving me problems.” Everyone is shocked when Fernando spoke up for the first time, he glared at Lucas with so much hatred in his eyes. “Son, why did you do this?” grandpa asked quietly, still confused on the matter at hand. He scoffs “am not your son old man, you’re too old to have me as a son, shouldn’t you be dead by now,” he uttered, I couldn’t help myself I stood up and punched the idiot, I knew Lucas wanted to do it as well but he held back when he saw me doing it, “you asshole, because you drugged I and Arya, that’s why everything has been the way it is,” I kept punching him, I did heard some of them gasp in shocked, Lucas stood up and pulled Fernando from me, he held him up, “what did you do?” he asked him, Fernando laughed like a maniac, “what I should have done a long time ago” he replies him causing Lucas and I to be annoyed, he had no remorse for destroying an innocent girl life, his best friend for that matter.
“Why?” Lucas yelled out, “what have I ever done to you, you’re my best friend, why would you do this?” he chuckled “best friend? After breaking my sister heart, you think we are best friends, after sending her to the psychiatric hospital because you hurt my only sister and you thought we were friends?” he laughs, “my plan was going perfectly, you know, your mother brought the idea on how to throw Arya out of the house, I was surprised she could come up with such evil plans and it worked out just fine.” “Mom! My mother would never do such a thing to me, tell him mother” he turned waiting for his mother to back him up but she didn’t she avoided everyone eyes on her. “Mom, d-did you do it?”.
