Chapter 1775 Lucas Wants to Murder Her
7 PM.
The doctor was nervously bandaging up Lucas's wound.
He'd worked with Lucas for ages and had never seen him look this grim.
At the hospital, Lucas was always the friendly guy.
"Mr. Nelson, your wound's all set," the doctor said, still nervous. "But you need to rest, or else..."
"I'm a doctor too. I know better than anyone," Lucas cut him off coldly.
He knew Bernice had put all her strength into that stomp.
She really hated him that much.
Lucas, always so proud, had never felt this humiliated.
Even now, he couldn't believe that during their intimate moment, she actually said she wanted to use drugs.
For a guy, that was a total hit to his pride.
What pissed Lucas off even more was that Bernice had acted that way on purpose, just to make him despise her.
He quickly got tired of her and even let go of a few guys who had threatened her.
Now that he had calmed down a bit, Lucas realized Bernice knew him so well.
This Bernice, who knew him inside out, said she hated him, loathed him.
Lucas felt a mix of doubt and frustration along with his anger.
Was he really that bad?
Was he not good enough?
How ridiculous.
Not just the doctor, even his right-hand man Thaddeus Guest had never seen Lucas this angry, confused, and furious.
There was a knock at the door, and a few plainclothes cops walked in with weird looks on their faces. "Mr. Nelson, sorry to bother you, but we just got a report from a woman named Bernice. She said you tried to murder her. We need you to come to the station with us."
"Murder?" Lucas laughed.
He didn't see that coming. Bernice actually called the cops. She must think with Milan backing her, she could take him on.
Thaddeus quickly said, "Our Mr. Nelson follows the law. He couldn't have done such a thing. This must be a misunderstanding."
"Because Ms. Ramsey has clear strangulation marks on her body, and she ran out of Mr. Nelson's villa this afternoon, so..." The cop looked helpless.
Lucas, who would dare to mess with him?
"Mr. Nelson, please come with us. Bernice is also a public figure. If this blows up, it won't be good for anyone."
"Fine."
Lucas gave a cold smile.
Great, Bernice had sent him to the hospital for the first time and now to the police station for a statement.
After Lucas got to the station, his lawyer showed up quickly. In less than ten minutes, Lucas was out of there.
"Mr. Nelson, don't worry. Your foot was also injured by Bernice. During the altercation, everyone around was your people. Bernice has no real evidence."
Wilford Langley was a top legal expert. Though he wasn't as good as Joseph, his methods in court were much more ruthless.
As Lucas got into the car without a word, he suddenly remembered what Bernice had said.
She said, Nina meant less to him than a Megan.
"Wilford," Lucas's hand rested on the car door, suddenly asking, "Wasn't there a lot of holes in Nina's case back then?"
Wilford was stunned and after a long pause, he said, "It was you, Mr. Nelson, who insisted on winning the case. You said if we didn't win, I should get lost."
Really?
So Lucas had said such things before.
Lucas slammed the car door shut without a word.Thaddeus shot Wilford an angry look and shook his head.
Wilford looked confused. What did he do wrong? He was just doing his job.
In the car, Lucas told the driver, "Take me to the bar."
"Mr. Nelson, you're hurt. You shouldn't be drinking," Thaddeus said, looking worried.
Lucas glared at him, and Thaddeus shut up.
Lucas downed several bottles at the bar.
The next morning, Lucas woke up with a pounding headache.
He went downstairs and saw Thaddeus pacing in the living room. "Get someone to bring breakfast up," he said.
"Mr. Nelson, your visit to the police station yesterday made the news," Thaddeus stammered. "Two entertainment news outlets reported that Bernice went to the police station to say you tried to kill her."
Lucas's eyes narrowed. "Show me."
Thaddeus quickly handed him the phone.
Lucas swiped through the screen. Not only was he on the entertainment news, but he was also trending.
Two media outlets had snapped photos of Bernice entering the police station, and the headline was sensational: [Bernice Reports Lucas for Attempted Murder].
The photos showed the marks on Bernice's neck, which looked pretty bad.
[Oh my God, poor Bernice. My goddess shouldn't be treated like this.]
[Who is Lucas? He dared to strangle our Bernice. How hard did he have to strangle her for it to be this serious?]
[I'm a forensic expert. I've seen many strangulation marks on deceased victims, and Bernice's marks are similar. He definitely intended to strangle her.]
[Who is Lucas to dare strangle our Bernice?]
[Let me educate you all. Lucas is the Chairman and CEO of the Nelson Group, Chairman of Dreamscape Entertainment Group. The Nelson Group's medical resources are global, and most private hospitals in Madison belong to the Nelson Group. Lucas's net worth is $200 billion, currently higher than Joseph's, on par with Julia.]
[Fuck, that's impressive. No wonder he's so arrogant. No wonder Dreamscape Entertainment Group's Herschel dared to sleep with the company's artists. He had Lucas backing him.]
[I don't know who Lucas is, but there's a very skilled doctor named Lucas at Whisperlyn City Hospital. He's very good-looking and highly skilled.]
[I've seen him too. He's indeed very handsome. It's said you have to make an appointment and wait in line for surgery with him.]
[Lucas himself is indeed a very skilled doctor, but he's particularly promiscuous. Several best actress-level artists in the industry have had affairs with him, and he personally supported them.]
[I've heard that Dreamscape Entertainment Group selects women to provide sexual services. Could it be that Lucas is the one actually selecting women for sexual services?]
[Remember Sarah? There's a rumor that Sarah's resources are ridiculously good. I have a friend in the financial news industry, and they say Sarah is quite close to Erin from the Nelson family. It's likely that Sarah is Lucas's woman. The incident with Bernice and Gary was actually the company using Bernice to shield Sarah.]
[Now that you mention it, it does seem possible. The day before Bernice's incident, Sarah was still on the trending list.]
[I've heard that Bernice is now blacklisted in the entertainment industry, and it was Lucas who issued the notice. Anyone who dares to give Bernice a role will have the Nelson Group's medical resources cut off for their entire family.]
