Chapter 38 Benefit From the Result

"Fortunately, you are with her." Said Bruce.

When Lily raised her head and saw him, she immediately turned her face away. She knew Bruce, but she preferred not to know him. The reason for this could be explained later. Now she was focused on Ashley, hoping that she could wake up early.

"Is the Lucas family investigating the fire?"

"Yes, it's a matter of great importance. It's impossible for the Lucas family not to investigate it. The police are also working hard. Don't worry."

She snorted, "It's a matter of great importance? What a joke! They will investigate only because of Lucas. You are all the same."

"I am also responsible for this matter. If I had come to see her as usual that day, such a situation would not have happened."

Indeed, Bruce felt guilty. He felt very guilty that someone took her when no one was around that day.

"It's useless to say that now. If there is any news about the Lucas family, please tell me immediately. I can't bear it!"

He raised his eyes and nodded without saying anything.

Both Ashley and Lucas were in a coma, but everyone was focused on him, including the medical resources.

One day, the person sent by Luke to investigate this matter sent him a message, telling him that the matter had progressed. He hurried to the place mentioned in the message.

It was almost noon when he arrived. It was an alley, also a red light district of an urban village.

He frowned, covered his nose, and walked in. The woman in the roadside shop was flirting with him, so he quickened his pace.

"Where the hell is she?"

"She was just in front of us. When we found her, she was... She was saved by us. In the beginning, she was not very conscious, but now she is much better."

Luke frowned heavily. They found that a car pulled out of the old warehouse before the fire and followed it here. They found Kate here.

"Mr. Luke."

The subordinate greeted him, but Luke didn't respond. He glared at him, and the man immediately lowered his head and closed his mouth, realizing that he had said something wrong.

Kate was tied to a chair. She was barely wearing any clothes, and her mouth was gagged with strips of cloth.

Luke waved his hand to let go of Kate.

As soon as her mouth was released, Kate bared her teeth and her eyes were wide open.

"Help me, please, help me!"

She flopped down on her knees and held Luke's leg.

He kicked her aside and asked someone to control her. He looked at his suit pants in disgust and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Tell me what happened on the day of the fire, then I'll help you out." Said Luke.

There was a moment of distraction in Kate's eyes. She looked at him and asked, "Fire? What fire? I don't know."

Luke didn't care whether she knew it or not. He only believed what he had found. He asked someone to take out the surveillance video, which contained the evidence that she took Ashley away from the villa.

"Look carefully. It's the day you took Ashley to the warehouse. Who let you do that?"

Kate suddenly curled up, stepped back, and shook her head repeatedly.

"I don't know. I don't know. Don't ask me!"

After saying that, she held her knees and murmured that she knew nothing.

Luke winked at the people around her. They immediately understood and pulled Kate up.

"I heard that there are a lot of games in this area. I believe that Miss Kate has just arrived, and there are still a lot of games that haven't been unlocked. Why don't you be with us...?" As he spoke, he licked his lips lustfully.

Kate immediately struggled, "No, I won't. I'll tell you everything. Let me go. Help me. Please!"

She didn't want to stay in this damned place anymore. It was so horrible. She had to endure the unbearable pain every day, but she couldn't die. She was afraid of the man lying on her body after opening her eyes every day

Luke smiled. He had a lot of ways to make Kate speak. That was one of them.

He sat down on the chair, straightened his suit, and said, "Say it. I'll give you five minutes. If you don't make it clear in five minutes, you can continue to stay here."

Kate swallowed with fear and told the truth after mentally organized language.

"Julia found me and said she could pay me back as long as I led Ashley to the place she set. I did it, but this bitch! She planned to destroy me as well. I hate her!"

She gritted her teeth and trembled all over. Speaking of Julia's name, she wished she could drink her blood.

Luke understood what had happened. It turned out that Julia loved Lucas but couldn't be with him. In addition, Ashley came back to the Johnson family and took the resources that originally belonged to her, so she wanted to kill her.

"Take her away."

"Yes, sir!"

Kate was taken away by Luke's staff. After returning home, he deleted the truth and told his grandpa

"What did you say? It was all arranged by Ashley's ex-husband?"

After hearing the whole story, Lucas's grandpa made sure that he couldn't let Ashley enter the Lucas family. At the same time, he was also determined to get even with the Jake family. He didn't care that they hurt Ashley, but he couldn't bear that they had indirectly hurt Lucas.

"Luke, I remember that our group and the Jake group have cooperation. Now you take over the cooperation. Within half a month, I want the Jake family removed from this city!"

"I see."

The corners of Luke's mouth couldn't help but curl up. He wished that Lucas would never wake up for the rest of his life. From now on, he would control the Lucas group bit by bit and make himself the head of the Lucas group

Four days later, Ashley finally woke up. After the examination, the doctor confirmed that she was fine and just needed to have a good rest.

Lily was taken aback and didn't feel relieved until she heard the doctor's words.

"Ashley, you scared me. Fortunately, you woke up, or I don't know what to do."

She held Ashley's hand tightly, and her real concern was visible to the naked eye.

With a weak smile, she said, "Well, it's all right. I'm awake. I'm really"

Hearing her gasping, Lily let her have a rest and wait until she recovered.

But she asked, "Lily, I remember I almost died in the fire. Who saved me?"

"Well..."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Lily's face. Lucas saved her, but he was still in a coma. If she told Ashley at this time, she would be more worried.

"Don't think about it anymore. The doctor just told me to let you have a good rest. I'll tell you when you get better."

"Lily..."

Ashley held Lily's finger and wanted to ask more, but Julia came in.

"Sister, you finally wake up. I just heard from the doctor that you are fine. That's great!"

Behind her, Luke also came over. Ashley was not happy to see her, so she didn't say anything.
