Transmigrated Into The Body Of The Cursed Prince Wife-Chapter 315: Find his wife
Chapter 315: Find his wife
The housekeeper looked at him, startled, but not thinking too much of his behavior, as he liked pulling pranks and making jokes. She hurriedly bent down, picked up the phone, and spoke into it.
"Sir Leo, I think Mr. Penn is in one of those morning pranks. I will hold the phone while you tell him what’s wrong."
Lucian watched in dumbfounded disbelief as she talked into the thing, and the thing spoke back.
"Alright, Elly. Put it on speaker."
"It’s already on speaker. He can hear you," she told the man on the other end of the call, who was the best friend of Lucian Xander Penn. It was still a surprise to the housekeeper how Leo and Lucian came to be friends when they were the opposite of one another. Leo was a responsible man, while Lucian Penn was everything but responsible. If recklessness was a person, it would be Lucian Xander Penn.
"Lucian, I don’t know what the hell came over you last night and why you went to that damned party even after I told you not to, but if you haven’t seen it yet, I’d hate to break it to you that you are now all over the news!" came Leo’s frustrated voice from the phone, where Lucian was barely listening as he was more fascinated by how the thing could speak to him.
"I told you to be careful of that bitch, Lora! Now there is a scandal about you and her after you were spotted making out with her at that trashy party last night. You should worry about Penn Corp and how to bring it back to the top, but you never listen! God damn it, are you even listening to me, or has the alcohol from last night turned your brain into shit?!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"How dare you talk to me in that manner? Do you know who I am?!" Lucian demanded of the thing as he scowled down at it. But then he froze when a memory suddenly flashed into his head. In his mind’s eye, he was sitting before a desk with many kinds of drawings, and a woman was standing behind him, explaining what the things in the drawings were.
’You mean with these boxes, one can communicate with another person in a different land or kingdom? How is that possible? Do they use... magical powers in your time?’ he had asked her, and she had laughed at his words. He recalled her laughter, the sweetest sound he would give anything to hear again.
And just like that, memories upon memories began to flood his head. He recalled everything about his life with his wife and what had brought him here. He was here for a reason, and that reason was to find his wife!!
And this talking thing was a person in another land talking to him. Now that he was here, where would he begin to find Aveline? Lucian thought, blocking out the words of the man on the phone. He had been plunged into a world he knew little to nothing about and into a life he knew would be quite hard to get used to, with all these strange things and people. Where would he begin to look for Aveline? It shouldn’t be that hard. She had once told him that almost everyone knew her in the future. Thus, if he asked around, they could lead him to her.
One thing was certain, though. He had the same name as this person, and whoever was talking in this thing wasn’t talking about Lucian Pendragon the Emperor but another Lucian. Perhaps the person would know where he could find his wife?
"Do you know where I can find Aveline Eamon?" Lucian asked, cutting off the man who had been ranting on and on about how he should quit his pranks and think about how to fix his mess. But Lucian’s question took him aback. He then cursed under his breath and said,
"I can’t believe we are trying to fix the scandal about you with Lora, and you are asking about another woman yet again! When are you going to stop fucking around with different women and focus on your life and the company handed down to you? Elder Mr. Penn is still recovering in the hospital! What do you think he would feel if he knew you were ruining the image of the Penn family the way—"
Lucian blocked him out and turned to the plump woman. "Does this person always talk like this? I don’t have any interest in talking to him. Do you know where I can find Aveline Eamon?" he asked the housekeeper instead, but she slowly shook her head.
Realizing that to find her himself, he would have to understand whatever mess this Lucian had made that this Leo person was talking about, he reached out, took the phone from the housekeeper, and held it.
"Who am I? And what scandal have I caused to my name and family?"
Lucian never knew life in the future could be this complicated and hard, and for the next hours, he began to learn about himself and things he could barely understand. Though Leo had not told him upfront who he was and all, Lucian picked up from everything he was saying and complaining about.
Bottom line, this Lucian was a waste to the world. Why would a man keep more than a hundred women and keep changing them like he did his clothes? That was Lucian Xander Penn, who, from what he learned from the housekeeper, was ruining his family’s image and the company now under him.
Though the housekeeper didn’t say it like that, that was how Lucian interpreted her words. He didn’t know what many of the things she said meant, but he planned to find them out. Though he had no plans of staying here long because, the moment he found his wife, he was getting out of this complicated era where gossip was on the things they called smartphones.
A man had come to hand him another smartphone, a man who said he was his assistant and that they had a meeting he needed to attend today. May heaven help him not to strangle someone in irritation with everything they kept shoving on him to do.
His assistant, Gary, had opened the smartphone and showed him moving images on the screen of himself in a place where colorful lights were flashing, and people were moving like they were possessed. It was said this was the scandal he had recently brought upon himself. He was holding a woman who wore an attire that was no different from being naked. She sat on his lap while they kissed and touched.
He felt disgusted by the image and would have hurled the damn smartphone away if he wasn’t fascinated by it and everything in it. How could people move inside it?
"Is that me?!" Lucian asked Gary in alarm as he stared down at the image that swiped on the screen.
"Yes, sir. That is you..." Gary said with a nervous laugh, as his boss’s strange behavior was making him not only uncomfortable but suspicious of what prank he would play on him today. He had once played a prank of losing his memories just to avoid an important meeting in the office and had spent months pretending to be in the hospital.
Lucian stared down at the image, holding the phone upside down. However, because of the screen rotation, it adjusted to the angle he held it in.
"How come he has the same face as me..." he muttered in disbelief as he realized this modern Lucian and he had the same face—only that he didn’t have long hair and was smiling in a way Lucian knew he never had before. That was the look of a pervert... disgusting.
"Why are there images of him looking like that, and who wrote this about him?" Lucian asked the assistant, who was also looking at the same page Lucian was staring at on his own phone.
At the top of the image was written:
"Any responsible woman would stay clear of this womanizer, who will fuck any creature with a hole between her legs. He has found another amusement, none other than Lora Foxx, while Penn Corp is slowly crumbling down to dust. It seems the Penn family name will die with Lucian Xander Penn, and many will not give a damn about a pig like Lucian! His family must be so disappointed in him! No mother would be proud of a shit like him!"
