Chapter 71: Evidence

" So what's your name? " Lucian asked." I am junior. " The young big boy answered immediately.

" Junior, which class are you in? " Lucian questioned.

" I am in the sixth standard. " Junior answered, as he sat beside him.

" Hmm you must be pretty smart, while I am waiting here how about we play some game? " Lucian said with a smile, patting the little boy's head.

" Sure brother, I'll show all my toys to you. " Saying that, junior stood up and ran towards his room.

" It seems he likes you. Here, have these. " Lara placed a glass of juice and some snacks in front of him, then she also sat done on another sofa.

Soon, junior brought out a big box full of toys, he sat beside Lucian and began to show them all to Lucian excitedly. Lara smiled as she watched them. In such a short time, Junior seemed so close to him that she felt Lucian must be a good person.

Lucian and junior played together for a while then Lara spoke: " Junior don't bother him too much, go back to your room and finish your homework now. "

" Uh... But Mom... " Junior wanted to play more so he wanted to refuse.

" You should listen to your mother, we can play again later. " Lucian spoke.

" ... Okay. " Junior reluctantly agreed then after collecting his toys back into the box he went into his room.

" It's strange, why isn't he back yet? He always comes back by this time. " Lara spoke as she looked at the time, it was already past 5.

" I will just call him. " Lara said as she picked her mobile but Lucian interrupted her.

" It's okay, I can meet him later in the school tomorrow, that way I would be able to play with junior again, but can you give me a glass of water first? " Lucian asked.

" Sure. " Lara nodded then she walked towards the kitchen and filled a glass with water, as she added: " And I am sure junior is going to like it if you come and play with him again. " Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Then taking the glass she walked back towards him but she was surprised to see that there was no one on the sofa, she looked around and Lucian was not there, even his shoes were no longer there.

" Did he leave? Maybe he had something urgent to do, but he should have told me before leaving. " Lara mumbled, but she didn't think too much about it and just went to work in the kitchen.

Over twenty minutes had passed, but Monk had still not returned so Lara finally decided to call him and ask if he was going to come back late.

She walked back to pick her mobile since she had left it on the table earlier, but then she noticed that the lights of her bedroom were on.

" I am sure I had turned the lights off, did junior turned them on again? Sigh that child, why won't he ever listen to me? " Lara sighed, then she left her mobile there and walked towards her room.

She pushed the door open and scolded: " Junior, didn't I tell you to finish your homework before you play aga- huh?!! Y- You are still here? "

Lara was surprised as she saw Lucian standing in her bedroom, he was holding several papers in one hand and his mobile in the other while many papers and books were lying all over the room.

" Oh nothing, I was just looking around. " Lucian spoke as he clicked another photo, just then he noticed that there was a pop up message on the screen telling him that the memory was already full.

' I just clicked a few photos and the memory is full? Just how low is this mobile going to get? ' Lucian thought, he had not yet captured the images of all the documents.

" W- What do you mean looking around? And what's all this? Are you here to steal? Did you lie earlier? " Lara asked nervously, she was feeling a little afraid now and she was ready to run into Junior's room to call police.

" What? You think I am a thief? Of course I am not one, I told you I really am a student of monk.

But I have heard a few rumours about him and it breaks my heart so much that all those rumours about him are true.

Here, these are all the evidence of just how much money he has gobbled up and the list of students whose futures were destroyed by him, as well as all the list of people who gave him this much money. " Lucian spoke as he pointed towards all the things lying over the bed.

Of course Lara knew that her husband kept his secret hidden in those documents but she never tried to check them since she believed that he wouldn't do anything too bad, she just thought they were the documents for all the black money he has collected by avoiding the tax.

" W- What are you talking about? He isn't like that, g- get out of here or I will call the cops. " Lara spoke in a shaky voice, but she didn't raise her voice so that Junior couldn't hear it.

" Call the cops? Be my guest, I wonder who would be the one to get arrested if they saw all this.

Monk would be staying in jail for a few years, they will confiscate all the money and property, and after the truth gets out some people might not be happy because of it and they just might try to silence him and his family.

I haven't called the cops yet since I am worried about our poor Junior, he would be the one to suffer the most if all this happens, the future of that kid would be destroyed to shambles. " Lucian spoke shaking his head and releasing a sigh.

" T- There is just no way he could do anything like that. " Lara still refused to believe any of it, with shaky legs she took a few steps forward and looked at the documents.

And soon she finally realised that whatever Lucian had just said was absolutely correct, Monk would have to go behind the bar if all this evidence is submitted to the police.

Lara finally broke down and fell to her knees. She could not even imagine just what would happen to her and her son if Lucian really did as he said. Her eyes instantly filled with tears as she looked at him.

" P- Please don't call the cops, I- I will stop my husband and even make him return all this money, s- so please just give me a little time. " Lara was almost crying as she begged in front of him.

" Look I want to help you too, but I don't see a reason to do that, what do I gain in all that? Sorry but it looks like your life is about to crumble. " Lucian said while hitting his phone against his palm then he released another sigh.

"..." Lara bit her lip, she felt pain in her chest and it felt as if just breathing was getting harder.
