Chapter 12 She Is Gone
Chapter 12 She Is Gone
Lucia disappeared, like she had never been in J City, even her record of a bank card or travel could not
been found.
It was like she had been expelled from the city overnight.
Justin returned to J City a month later and checked all the records, but found nothing.
Closed business meetings in the United States were held on and off for a month, with trade secrets not
to be divulged.
All communication tools must be turned off for all participants in the meeting, including the cleaners.
During this month, he had originally arranged a servant of the Sutton family to take care of Lucia, but
the Sutton family used their connections to get them divorced after knowing that Lucia could not have
children again.
Then Lucia disappeared from J City.
There was no sign of her in the city, even when she took a taxi out of the hospital, she avoided places
with cameras.
Lucia had liked Justin for 11 years, since she was 13 years old, she had been around him, she even
asked him with simple questions deliberately, pretending she did not understand, "Justin, what is the
answer, I don’t know it."
"Think for yourself, and when you have the answer, eat at my house, and if you don't, go right back to
your house!"
She then soon got the answer, so she ate in his house and even slept there.
She often used these tricks during the winter and summer holidays.
But now she was gone, as if she had never been in his world.
Justin felt calm, for it was just divorce.
Anyway, he did not love her. She had a miscarriage, but he had tried his best to have the doctor
resuscitate her, and when he had to leave the country, he arranged her a servant to take care of her.
Her life was only saved by his signature.
He didn't owe her anything.
He told himself that Lucia was nothing to him. He did not love her, and two years of marriage was
nothing ......
Their divorce was a relief to each other.
For a year, Justin did not return to the house where he had lived with Lucia, for he was very busy with
expanding his business empire.
When someone mentioned his wife, he corrected it in a gentlemanly way, "She is my ex-wife."
Justin had often been in entertainment headlines for his scandal with a famous model, a movie queen,
etc. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
He lived in the villa where he lived before he got married, and his study was full of newspapers with
scandals about him from the year.
When he went back to the Sutton family for dinner every week according to the rules, sitting at the big
table, his grandfather admonished him, "You're the head of the Sutton Group, what are you doing in the
newspapers with those women! You're not going to stop until you've ruined the Sutton Group's
reputation, are you?!"
He moved elegantly and slowly picked up the food, "My identity can hype up their value, and their news
buzz can increase the Sutton Group's exposure, it is mutually beneficial, without spending a penny on
advertising."
His tone was light, but he made the elders so angry that they couldn't eat, "Even if you want to increase
the exposure of the Sutton Group, you don’t need to change woman one after another! You just need to
find one with news buzz!"
He laughed, "How uninspiring would that be for the audience?"
"Why you care about that?"
His grandfather leaned back in his chair, slammed his cup! "You have been trying to anger the family!
Did you resent me for using your mother’s connections to get a divorce for you and Lucia! You said you
didn't love her, and since she could not be pregnant, so I satisfied your wish! What! Since you have
divorced the woman you don’t like, you are angry with me now!"
Justin said calmly, without raising his head, "Thank you, grandpa for making it happen."
After saying that, he got up, "I have a meeting in the evening, so I gotta go, enjoy your food."
Seeing that Justin had already walked out of the dining room, his grandfather grabbed the bowl and
smashed it towards that back!
Justin left without looking back.
Everyone present was frightened, and Justin’s father James rushed to support him, "Dad, don't be
angry, don't be angry!"
His grandfather Leonard pointed at Justin's back and scolded, ''See how he behaves! He used to stay
at here one night a week, now he left with a meeting as an excuse! Is he the president of the world who
has to fight terrorism and hunt down ISIS? He always claims to have a meeting, who doesn’t he go and
hold a memorial service for me!"
"Dad! Don't say that, I'll take care of him!"
During this year since Lucia left, Justin was like a peaceful sea, though he was powerful.
But only his grandfather dared to yell at him and scold him, others would be silenced as soon as he
gave them a look.
It was known that Justin did not love Lucia, but everyone had a tacit agreement not to mention the
name "Lucia".
