Chapter 122


    Olivia immediately froze still when hearing Justin scold her. She looked at Reba pleadingly.


    Reba also wanted to plead for Olivia, but when she found out how angry Justin was and how cold


    Lucas’ face was, she didn’t dare to say anything. After all, she was never important in the family.


    “Dwayne, take Olivia back to her room. From today onwards, she’s not allowed to leave the house!”


    Justin mmed the coffee cup heavily on the table.


    He continued, “Also, cancel Olivia’s annual dividend.”


    “Grandpa!” Olivia was just about to heave a sigh of relief when she knew that she would only be


    grounded, but she could not help but plead when she knew that her annual dividend was canceled.


    Without the annual dividend, she only had 20 thousand dors of monthly pocket money.


    For ordinary people, this could be considered arge amount of money, but for socialites who often


    needed to go to social ces, the money was too little.


    This meant that Olivia could no longer buy those luxury goods and dresses, Imagine it! She would


    appear at the dinner parties in out -of-season dresses.


    Olivia could not imagine what the others would say about her behind her back.


    “She shouldn’t be forgiven with such a small punishment,” Lucas said calmly.


    “Shit! What else does Jessica want? She’s just a young girl. Do I need to give up on the reputation of


    the whole family only to apologize to her?” Justin mmed the table in anger and Olivia trembled in


    fear.


    “What if she stands for the entire Hall family?” Lucas’ words made Justin speechless.


    Only then did Justin realize that Jessica was no longer the same as before. She was no longer Mrs.


    Thomas that they could bully, but the daughter of the richest man in New York.


    The Thomas family might be able to contend against the Hall family, but the result would definitely be


    both sides suffering,


    Thinking of this, Justin suddenly felt very tired. He leaned back in his chair and said in a weak voice,


    “Then what do you think we should do?”


    “Send the rification in the name of the Thomas family.” Lucas’ eyes darkened.


    “No, I won’t allow it. That is my bottom line.” Justin coughed twice, shook his head, and said, “Alright,


    all of you can go back to your room. I’ll get this settled.”


    He already had a n in his heart, which could satisfy both Jessica’s request and preserve the


    reputation of the Thomas family.


    Hearing Justin’s words, Olivia prepared to go upstairs to her room, dejected.


    Lucas, however, grabbed her arm.


    Olivia looked up at Lucas’ increasingly cold golden eyes. She suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear.


    “Lucas, I really have already apologized to Jessica.” Olivia cried.


    “Olivia, do you think being grounded is a big enough punishment for what you have done?” Lucas


    looked at Olivia with anger in his deep eyes, his voice devoid of any warmth.


    “Do you know how much money the Thomas Group will lose after the rification announcement?”


    Olivia felt an invisible yet powerful pressure pressing down on her


    She subconsciously took a step back. As the youngest daughter of the Thomas family, her arrogance


    was always tolerated by her farruly. But this time, she found that Lucas really did not intend to tolerate


    her anymore.

    Aucas nced at Dwayne expressionlessly. He nodded to Dwayne and said, “Take Olivia to ck


    House.


    “Lucant” Reba couldn’t help but cry out


    Olivia was sobbing in the first ce When she heard what Lucas said, she was so scared that she


    forgot to breathe


    walls and foors in the entire room. There wasn’t even a cushion in the room, not to mention a bed


    Being locked inside ck House was like being deprived of hearing and sight, not even knowing how


    time passed..


    This was the most severe punishment for members of the Thomas family


    Back then, Lucas father, Louis Thomas, dyed the business of thepany because of his mistress


    birthday. He caused thepany to suffer a great loss. At that time, Louis was grounded in ck


    House for five days.


    Olivia was still young at that time. She only remembered that when Louis came out, he seemed to be


    ten years older.


    That feeling of fear was fresh in Olivia’s memory


    Before today, she never thought what she had done was a big deal, and she regretted it for the first


    time for provoking Jessica


    But it was already toote
