Chapter 240 A Couple's Quarrel

"If there is nothing else to do, I will go back first, ok?" He promised Amelia that he would not get drunk again the last time he had a wild night. But, he still got her upset by spending all night out.

"Lucian!" Sasha grabbed him by the shoulders. She came around in front of him and told him, "If Amelia asks about last night, don't tell her that you've met me, all right?"

Lucian groaned. He was battling a heavy hangover. He didn't have the patience to listen to this woman.

"Listen to me, I'm not interested in interfering with your sense of freedom. But, I'm warning you, don't try to use the same trick again!" Despite his sorry state, Lucian could effectively see who Sasha really was. She wasn't as attractive on the inside as she was on the outside. So, he left right after.

Wearing her slip dress, Sasha could only watch him leave. She wasn't pleased with this. Lucian had warned her, and she had already annoyed him. She always felt ugly when men would leave her like this in the morning.

Downstairs in the shiny hotel lobby, Lucian called Eric to pick him up. He was offered a coffee by a friendly male attendant, but he declined. He just wanted to get out of there.

"Boss, where should I take you? Are you going to the Zhan Group's offices or to SJ Garden?" Eric didn't look back at Lucian in the eye, but just in his general direction.

Sitting on the cream, leather backseat, Lucian closed his eyes and replied with a sigh, "Drive to the SJ Garden." As normal, a business newspaper and a bottle of water were provided for him in the back of the car. He normally didn't even touch them. But, that morning, he drank the entire water bottle in one swig.

As he didn't go back last night, he had to go home this morning.

"But..." Eric had to be careful how to word his concern.

"What? Spit it out!" Lucian wondered what Eric had to sa

ence.

He couldn't waste his time thinking too much of that. So, he shook his head and entered the office.

He put in his wireless headset and asked Eric to bring the documents over to his office right away. He could now focus on this situation at hand.

"As Mrs. Amelia's father is currently incarcerated, we went to the correctional facilities to visit him. So, he had a few words to say about her past..."

As Eric reported to Lucian, Lucian opened the sealed bag. He looked like a child on Christmas morning opening his gifts.

Reading over the documents, Lucian's face froze. Suddenly, he blinked and re-read what he saw, as his mind processed the information.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lucian?" Eric was alarmed that Lucian looked so shook from reading the document.

Lucian's hands started to tremble, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He started to repeat in disbelief, "It's impossible! It's impossible!"

Tossing the documents on the desk, he arose from the chair, picked up his coat and left the office without saying anything.

Eric scrambled to collect the documents scattered on the table, put them back into the folder and the sealed bag. He ran outside to follow Lucian.

"Mr. Lucian, please don't worry about anything. We will investigate Mrs. Amelia's background in more detail if it's not sufficient." Eric had assumed that the information he found was going to be useless, so he misread Lucian's reaction.

"No more investigations!" Lucian had turned around, his tone was final. He stood still breathing heavily from his chest, looking at Eric.

Eric was confused. Why would Lucian not want us to continue with this investigation? But, he knew better than to ask any more questions.

"Eric, I need you to help me with some business issues. I have some personal affairs to deal with right now." Lucian then left the company.
