Chapter 909 Luke Found Out What He Did and Even Had the Evidence to Prove It

Xavier entered the study without knocking at the door.

Daniel was furious. He threw the objects on the table at his son. "You wretch! Must you do this to your father?"

Xavier's expression sank, though he was not going to lose his temper at his father. He glanced disdainfully at the things that had fallen on the floor.

"Why are you acting all crazy? Your guests are waiting for you outside!" He said unhappily.

Daniel's chest was heaving from anger. He pointed at the document on the floor and said, "Pick it up."

Xavier bent over and picked up the few pieces of paper. He glanced at it and wondered why his father would be so angry.

"Where did you get this?" His expression darkened, and the hands that were holding the document began to tremble.

"That's the present from Luke Crawford!" Daniel stood up abruptly and, in a fit of rage, threw the burning cigarette at Xavier's face. Xavier managed to dodge it in time. He would be hurt if he did not.

"How dare he!" Xavier's expression became savage. In the document was evidence of the things that Xavier had done to resolve his family crisis. He knew how serious things could get if the evidence was leaked, so he had conducted his business personally so that no one could have any dirt on him.

Somehow, Luke managed to discover what he did and obtained incriminating evidence!

Luke's influence on the criminal underworld was more far-reaching than Xavier thought.

The veins on Xavier's forehead bulged. He wished that he could rip Luke into pieces.

"How dare he? Why wouldn't he? He'd be commended for his sense of justice if he hands in the evidence to the police!" Daniel was hit by a bout of dizziness and grabbed the back of his chair. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

In the past, Daniel could always clean up Xavier's mess.

However, the Tanners were no longer influential. Daniel had warned his son to behave to no avail. Not only had Xavier refused to marry Melissa, but he had impregnated an art school student!

He had fallen out with the Lerches, and the situation of the Tanner family had become more precarious than ever. Even so, Xavier brought him nothing but trouble!

Daniel could feel his blood pressure rising when he considered the possibility that the document might end up in the police's hands. Xavier would be sentenced to at least twenty years for sure!

"What does Luke want?" Xavier’s gaze became murderous.

At that moment, he regretted not violating Bianca, which would deal a psychological blow to Luke!

Daniel took several deep breaths to calm himself down, took out his blood pressure medication from the drawer, popped a pill into his mouth, and closed his eyes. Then, he slowly spoke, "That man has total control over us now. He must want something from us if he didn't hand the evidence to the police. I've turned a blind eye to whatever you did in the past, but now, you'll have to control your temper for the sake of the family."

Xavier was silent. If Luke could give him that document, it meant that Luke must have made copies.

Xavier had done so many things for the Tanners in secret just so that he would fight back against Luke, but he did not expect that Luke knew what he was doing.

Without waiting for Xavier to reply, Daniel continued, "If you go to prison this time, who knows if you'll get out before I die! Also, this matter doesn't only involve you, Xavier. If you can't spare a thought for me, at least spare a thought for your mother and that child of yours! Don't offend Luke for the time being. After the banquet, I'll try to find out more from him!"

Xavier wanted to protest, but he noticed that his father's face was pale and considered that he would be sent to prison.

He did not want to spend the next twenty years in prison!

He could only agree reluctantly.

"Give that to me!" Daniel extended his hand. No one else could find out the existence of that document, not even his wife!

If fewer people knew about it, it would be less risky for Xavier.

Xavier handed the document to his father. His gaze was brimming with resentment.

Knowing what his son was thinking, Daniel tossed the document in the drawer and warned Xavier again, "Don't go and look fortrouble with Luke. You can't afford to offend him!"

Xavier grunted coldly and left the room.

Riley had been waiting for Xavier outside the study. Seeing Xavier exit the room, she quickly followed behind him. "Wait for me, Xavier!"

Xavier was looking to release his anger. He turned around and noticed Riley.

"She's asking for it!’

Xavier grabbed her wrist. "Follow me!"

Riley cried out in surprise and was led to the bedroom. "I'm pregnant, Xavier!" "Shut up!" Without being able to get even with Luke, Xavier could only release his anger on the woman's body.

Melissa, standing in a corner, witnessed Xavier and Riley going into the bedroom and knew what they were going to do. She held onto Lacey's gown tightly and sobbed. ‘I won't forgive that b*tch, Aunt Lacey!"

Lacey also noticed her son hurriedly dragging Riley into his bedroom.

She knew what her son was doing, but she could not bear to see Melissa cry. "Don't cry, Melissa. You'll ruin your makeup. Xavier isn't serious with her!"

Melissa was not going to be convinced so easily. She stomped her foot stubbornly. "Go in and stop them, Aunt Lacey! Xavier can only be mine!"

She was pampered since young and was used to getting what she wanted.

She did not want to lose to a mere art school student!

How was Riley any better than her?

Lacey was getting impatient. "They're only going into the bedroom, Melissa, and they're probably not doing what you're thinking. After all, Riley is already pregnant, and Xavier knows that he needs to be careful. Maybe your Uncle Daniel was talking to him about breaking up with that girl so that he could marry you, and they’re talking about it in the bedroom!"

Melissa was not so easily deceived. She could tell from Xavier's expression that he was looking for a release.

She knew that Lacey had always wanted a grandchild, but she was not going to let her wish to be fulfilled that easily. Pretending to wipe away the tears from her eyes, she said viciously, "I know that

you want that child in that b*tch's womb, Aunt Lacey, but think about it. How many men have Riley slept with before hooking up with Xavier? Who knows if the child is Xavier's?" "That can't be..." Lacey had confirmed with Xavier that Riley only got pregnant after hooking up with her son.

"Why not? That poor art school student would do anything to make money. She might even be sleeping around with other men while dating Xavier. Do you think Xavier would treat her like that if he's the father of the child in her womb? Maybe he already knows it, but he's reluctant to leave that seductress!"

Melissa embellished the tall tale with whatever she could think of.

Lacey sank deep in thought.

"Xavier is still young, Aunt Lacey, and I'm healthy. You can't let Riley keep the child. Otherwise, she'll insist that the baby's father is Xavier and blackmail you with that." Melissa used the opportunity to give her a timely reminder.
