Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766

When the news broke that the serial killer in Kanit City had been caught, Fryderyk had just finished his field duty. “How’d they catch him?” Fryderyk asked as he hurried toward the police car.

Jackson opened the car door. “Lucas chased someone all the way to Mandino University and almost hurt a student. Luckily, Aria was there to stop him just in time.”

He buckled his seatbelt, his tone serious. “Otherwise, it could’ve been a disaster.”

Fryderyk frowned as he started the car. “Why did he suddenly show up at Mandino University?”

Jackson shook his head. “No idea. We’ve already arranged to transport him back to Kanit City. After a pause, he added, “But it looks like he knows Aria. When he was arrested, he deliberately tried to get under her skin.”

In the interrogation room at the detention center, Aria fixed Lucas with a cold, unblinking stare. “Why did you go to Mandino University?” she asked.

Lucas didn’t look the least bit rattled. “All because of you.

“You had the guts to go up against the Shaw family, and you even helped the Kanit City police track me down.” He cocked his head, a smirk playing at his lips. “I’m a little curious about you.”

Aria’s expression was ice-cold. “If you were after me, why hurt a student?”

Lucas shrugged, completely unfazed. “Just wanted to see if you’d stick your nose in. I’m doomed anyway, what’s a few more bodies?”

With four lives on his hands, the death penalty was already set in stone. He was ready to die, and just wanted to get some kicks before the end.

Aria stood up, ready to leave. “Aren’t you even going to ask why I killed them?” Lucas suddenly dropped his playful demeanor.

“The Kanit City police will question you,” Aria replied without even turning her head.

Lucas’s voice turned dark. “They bullied my grandparents and tore my family apart. Too bad you guys acted so fast. The real mastermind, Brodie, is still breathing.”

Brodie, the patriarch of the Shaw family. He was the one Lucas hated most. Lucas should have had a happy, complete family, but Brodie destroyed it all.

To escape Brodie’s pursuit, his grandparents fled overseas with him. When they finally came back, his grandfather’s company was seized by the descendants of an old friend, and the old man was subjected to endless humiliation.

Out of the four people he killed, two were the ones who had taken over the company. The third was responsible for a hit- and-run, and because of the delay in treatment, his grandfather ended up dead.

The fourth was his grandmother’s own niece, but she was so afraid of the Shaw family that she just stood by and did nothing. Lucas had already given up on life, so he figured he might as well kill her too.

“We both killed people who deserved to die. So why do you get to walk away untouched, while I’m the one facing the death penalty?” he asked. Aria turned back, locking eyes with him.

Chapter 766

“You’d better save me, or I’ll tell them about your other identity,” he threatened.

Aria smirked. “Go ahead.” She turned and walked away without another word.

As she stepped out of the detention center, she just happened to run into Allen and a team of officers hurrying in.

When Allen saw her, he gave her a gentle smile. “If it weren’t for you, the students at Mandino University would’ve been in real danger.”

Aria replied, “Lucas was after me.” Luckily, no one got hurt.

A young officer nearby looked puzzled. “He was after you? Do you know the guy?”

Aria shook her head. “Nope.”

“Then why would he target you?” The officer pressed.

Allen interjected, his tone mild. “You’re asking too many questions.”

The officer made a zipping motion across his lips. “Understood, Mr. Lawrence.”

Fryderyk chimed in at just the right moment. “Allen, let’s get back to business.”
